Is anyone else buying next years xmas bits in the sales?

I am trying to.

I have already brought some presents for next xmas - after having my pressie cupboard full for the whole of 2006 it looks very bare now!!

a couple of shirts for my dad in m&s outlet near me for £2.50 each and a puzzle for my grandad for £2.

i have also brought all my cards and paper etc in the sale so am already on my way to being prepared for xmas 2007!

Is anyone else doing this?

I do every year, mostly stuff from Next sale but have got some cheap games from Boots this year as well. I love when I get to Christmas and shopping is all done, just waiting for me to wrap.

I bought a few cards ready for Chridtmas 2007. A few friends have started buying presents etc but I honestly haven't seen anything that decent. Maybe I haven't looked that hard or for long enough, but nothing has grabbed my attention enough!

Good on you though, great to be organised!

Well, I have bought all the christmas pressies bar three, which will be slowly done until the end of the year, all of the birthdays and mothers day and fathers day. I am just knitting a Christening pressie for the 18th Feb, and then I'm all done. Thank go for boots online sale and ebay!

I've bought wrapping paper, a few cards (still have some left so don't need many), crackers, a few presents and a Christmas pudding.

Have always bought wrapping and cards in the sale so am well organised in terms of storing it ready for next Christmas.

Am trying to be more organised with presents though as I am guilty in the past of forgetting what I have bought and who it is for so have started a list. I've also worked out a budget for presents through the year and Christmas in general and plan to record what I actually spent in real money. Have just ordered £50 in vouchers from Pigsback so that will be £0 spend = a good start.
