who do you buy for?

[Me, My Girls & I]

i'm a right tight arse i buy for the girls, my parents and my little sister, FOB and will buy for OH too obvs cant be doing with my other siblings/niece/nephew!

 

[Lacey's Mummy]

I normally buy for like everyone but never get a thank you so this year I'm on a budget and doing my family and 2 sil's and that's it!!

 

[Princess81]

I get for my o/h, my parents, my sister and her o/h, and my grandparents. THATS IT. O/h sorts out his own family, that is the way I intend for it to stay. Oh and the cat gets a little something too from us

 

[Lacey's Mummy]

My OH never buys for his family!! If I don't buy for them, I'll be the one who gets the rude coments about it not him!! I'm only buying for his 2 sisters this year though as the rest of his family haven't wanted to know during this pregnancy!! I really do hate in laws grrr

 

[isobel84]

we normally put everyones name in an envalope (we are all grown up) and then you pick one and only buy for that person on a budget £50. No one knows who got who. But then we all buy a little present that would suit anyone (about £5) and thats the pressies we play a game about. so you win and pick a pressie! so 1 can end up with 4 and another with none.

This year i think i wont be in the envalope tho as it cost me alot to go home and i got Noa aswell so i will only buy to my youngest sister whos 4 and my nephews.

Oh and me have decided not to buy eachother anything but to buy really posh duvets and bedding instead cant wait!!

 

[Me, My Girls & I]

omg i love the envelope idea! and its defo a good idea to get housey stuff that you actually need!!

apparently i'm getting a pair of nice boots off OH cos he cant stand my uggs not a clue what i'm gona get himtho!

 

[bearsmummy]

I buy for my mum, dad, 2 brothers, Livi, my nan and grandad. Plenty! lol x

 

[FebMum2Be]

I buy for my mum, dad, sister, 2 brothers, SIL, nephew, another niece/nephew by X-mas, OH and Odhrán.. I get OH's niece something small and my MIL+FIL a bottle of wine and a small token from Odhrán xx

 

[MrsR]

Last year we all agreed to just buy for the kids so DD and the two neices but then everyone but OH and I bought for the adults too! We felt really crap about that! This year we'll buy for DD and Seb obv and my neice and his neice and then little pressies for the adults-nothing major. We do what isobel84 does regarding each other, rather than buy presents we go and buy something a bit luxury or housey.

 

[WILMAFLINSTONE]

Well I have 15 nieces and nephews on my side, 4 on dh side lots of sil and bil so I sugessted last year that all us adults go out for a meal in December instead of exchanging presents and that went down great and also to only buy for the under 16s as it was getting rediculously expensive!
So now I buy for about 7 nieces/nephews, my cousin, my best friend, Kate, David and my step daughter!
And with the biker girls we do a secret santa for £5 and we cant buy booze, sweets or smellies so thats usually a challenge but fun!

So I dont have too many to buy for but I still like it all done by the end of October so I can get them all wrapped up and off to Santa with plenty time to spare lol xx
