Christmas 2010 Let's Get Organised

I made my 90 year old grandmother a nudey-man calendar - she loved it, and on the first of the month all her old-lady friends would come by with cakes and biscuits to see the new man and have tea :rotfl:

I also gave her photo albums and tickets for things for different occasions.

That is brilliant. I really needed something to make me smile just now and this did it !

Managed to get a good buy on Whittard last night. A couple of 3 for 2 offers, saved on postage and got a free hot choc - £54 of goods (inc p&p) for £30:j I know there's cheaper out there, but these are for special presents for Mum and best friend.

Has anyone else started wrapping yet???? Last night I put the Xmas songs on my laptop and sat and wrapped all my pressies!!! Pressie run is on 20 November so Im just trying to do a bit at a time.
Just come back from my Mum's where I did more Xmas shopping (hers!) Good bargains had I got a lovely hand care kit in a silver tin in the Body Shop (had been 16 down to 8, it was their summer stock but a lovely gift for any time of year) they also had some lovely sets for a fiver, body lotion, shower gel and shower scrunchie in a box, various scents. I also picked up some Pringle ladies socks in BHS, reduced to £4.
Avon Xmas catalogue came this evening All I can say is oh dearie me. Lets just say I finished 99% of my remaining Xmas shopping in one fell swoop :rotfl: Then will only have my nephews' Game vouchers and Nottingham Rugby hoodie for best mate to get and then I'm done!
Also got to get Tigers polo shirt and calendar for OH but can get those in December - got tight deadline for the pressie run!!

I have wrapped my aunts and uncles and just got the paper to do DS's this weekend. I thought I would do a bit each week

Wish I was your Avon Lady:rotfl::rotfl:

Everything but the baby's stuff - it hadn't arrived when I wrapped all the other stuff. I might do it this weekend. I'm also planning to make a Christmas cake.

I save my wrapping for an evening in December, probably a Wednesday as DH goes running every wednesday night for a few hours. Will put DS to bed, get the christmas CD on, mince pie and glass of Beileys... Present wrapping is an activity to savour and enjoy!

I LOVE wrapping in December with a few christmassy films and a glass of Baileys! Takes forever cos I always go OTT.
Thinking I may have to start earlier this year. Babys birthday is before christmas and bump is due after christmas. Gonna be a busy time. Actually toying with the idea of wrapping some this afternoon
