    I have the bottom of one of my wardrobes devoted to present stashing!

    What I did the other day, when feeling uber orgaised was find a small notebook, then I wrote down each occasion I need to buy for under the months of the year ie OH's Birthday, mother's day etc

    I have popped it in my bag so it wil come everywhere with me and I can refer to it when I spot a bargain

    I do the same thing! I have a little notebook with peoples names in and when I buy something I write it under their name so I can see what they have:o

    I keep my presents in plastic storage boxes in the spare room and have quite a few at the moment :o .

    I've just had an extra wedding sprung upon me, but will think of something. Probably Ikea vouchers and a nice bottle of wine.

    Also, today I bought my mother's birthday gift. Her birthday is February, 2009. Into the storage it goes!!
