    Have brought enough xmas cards in the sales to last 2-3 years. Brought 10 metre wrapping paper from Wilko for a £1.

    Started buying Xmas/birthday pressie in the sales on Boxing Day. People think I am crazy. I live on a budget and have no choice! Love this thread.

    We don't think you're crazy! If you are then I'm crazy too! Same as you on a budget and so many to buy for. It's sensible to spread the cost AND I love bargains. Keep going!

    I save £100 a month to cover all presents throughout the year, around £400 of which goes on Christmas!
    Weight loss challenge, lose 15lb in 6 weeks before Christmas.
  • I don't really celebrate holidays manly because I don't like how commercialized they are.
  • Wow you are an organised bunch!

    Can I join in, I am not going to save a specific amount but I am going to try & buy a present a month & anytime I see something nice on the sales so that December for me is not the usual crazed shopping trip that is has been since I entered adult life (I am 31).
