    Thanks for the welcome!

    I've already bought a few things for DD's (x2 both grown up) -presents and stocking fillers.
    We don't have a huge number of family and friends to buy for, so some years ago, we cut the amount we spend on everyone and do some Christmas shoeboxes instead. My 16 boxes are almost ready to pack. They have to be ready by end of October so I just need to do a stocktake of the things I've got and see what I still need. Then I can concentrate on our Christmas!
    2025 Fashion on the ration
