Hi! I've only just found & read through this thread! I'm Quite well prepared this year, my spreadsheet (yes... I have a christmas spreadsheet ) is looking quite full with bought pressies (20 so far!) and I have all my recipes and equipment for my home made goodies ready to go!

I'm just looking at doing Christmas Eve hampers for my little sisters (4 & 6) for the first time! Exciting stuff!

I'm thinking for these:
Snowman soup
New pjs
Christmas DVD
Personalised "my special christmas adventure" books
Reindeer food
Reply letters from santa

And maybe some little snacks for them and my parents. Does that sound okay?!

I feel quite organised this year too, have been picking presents up through out the year in the sales got a few hand knit scarves to make and some mittens which i will start when back from holiday. Picked some beakers up from primark last week at £1 each and they have a matching coaster will do snowman soups in the mugs and wrap them in cellophane they will do for the people at work. Knitted flower brooches and matching scarves for aunties, will do some toffee vodka now i have the bottles. Feeling quite happy this year that i am or more organised as Christmas normally stresses me out and it is all thanks to the forum and the brilliant ideas that people share.
