I have bought some bits and bobs already... mainly clothes for Arianna so far. Got some little things for my niece and nephews too

Oh yes.... I started several months ago! We are on a budget and we have (children) 8 nieces and nephews to buy for, 3 other babies/children and then 10 adults (plus any friends we buy for..usually two of my good friends). So that's quite a lot of money. Also, when you add up for b-days as well...... £ £ £ £ £ £ s

I buy stuff in advance for the children and just hope they haven't already got it...sometimes I check with their parents, other than that they get what they are given!

We used to spend £15 per child/person and £20 on our parents (each) but since being on a budget we cut that to £10 each for everyone and OH and I don't really buy each other anything.
I buy stuff from Argos when they have stuff on special offer or Wooly's. Or the Book people are good for books... I just store in spare room/wardrobe.

I used to ask what my nieces/nephews wanted and my SIL would always suggest something very specific (a game/toy) which was alwasy more than we wanted to pay... between 20-30 quid. So I decided to just buy what I thought they would like. Now that the oldest niece and nephew are at secondary school, we think we'll get them vouchers so they can choose and if they judge us for being tight with only £10, well so be it! I am past embarrassment now..we have to live !!

I am all for getting bargains and saving a bit of £

Didnt anyone tell you, 'christmas is cancelled this year'

 

[Misslarue]

Yep, loads! I have got all of the children in both our families and Dan's christmas and birthday presents (3rd Jan). There was a toy store closing down near where I live about 4 months ago. I got some great bargins such as £20 duplo sets for £5
I also got loads of bath/smelly sets in the boots Jan sale.
We have a lot to buy for so I look about throughout the year. It saves a fortune come xmas.
