Christmas present thread

I hope someone buys the gins for me too!!lol
 
Yippeeeeeeeeeeeee, thank you for re-starting this thread, I love, love, love the build up to Christmas.

I've started on Nathan, Lydia, brother, sister, sister's partner & Bob's stockings, just bought things like, lip gloss, honey, chocolates, coffee, sweeties, american foods, jellies (that you make up, got from Asian shop mango & lychee), erm, can't remember what else, but I do have a box full.

This year nieces & nephews aren't getting money, SiL deemed them too old & decided we would all buy pressies no greater than £20 suits me & Bob fine, so I've bought hair stuff for the girls, hair stuff for 1 nephew, tan moisturiser for 1 nephew & a pair of Christmas socks, the other nephew loves cricket so I'm hoping to get him some cricket stuff in Sri Lanka.

Today I'm buying 'shots' for everyone's crackers, except Bob will have vodka & Nathan will have shower gel, I can't wait to see their faces when they find out it's a shot in the cracker, I'm going to be the bestest auntie in the world with that little gift.

Not too sure what to get step mum & step dad; me & Bob just get each other stockings & will put money towards nxt years holidays instead of a main pressie, after all we do like our holidays so it makes sense.

Oh I'm also making Christmas jumpers for me, Bob, Nathan & Lydia, which they will wear on Christmas day when we go for our walk!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's it so far folks, Happy Holidays, lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Just ordered a little something for my chocoholic boyfriend.

It's a chocolate "pizza" lol. The base is belgian milk chocolate and then it's topped with festive coloured rainbow drops, white chocolate honeycomb balls and milk chocolate curls. Finished off with three handmade milk chocolate holly leaves and a dusting of edible glitter.

I am great with little presents like this but I tend to stuggle for main presents!! Will have to ask for ideas.
 
Aren't we supposed to post links??? Oop!!
:eek:

 
Omg have just wrapped the first of my Christmas presents! It's just a little something - some posh 'chokablok' chocolates for Katie and Sean :D

My christmas presents are pretty much done now! Just hubby & dad to buy for... It's daughters birthday at end of November & sons at beginning of January so I like to be organised... With the exception of a hudl tablet each for older 2 kids I have got everything else either reduced in price, on offer or on sale so am pretty happy with that :D
 
All I've done so far is buy me and hubby a Lindt advent calendar each (yes we are big kids!) and a tin of Quality Street for Boxing Day as they were on such a good offer!

I'm thinking for hubby a nice bottle of port, a box of Lindt white Lindor truffles and maybe a CD or two? Need to ask him what he wants.
Other than that I only buy for Mum and Dad, my sister and my best friend.
No ideas for any of those at the moment!
Seen some Pedigree advent calendars for the dogs- hubby would prob have me sectioned if I brought them tho!!

I struggle with Xmas as my birthday is end of November and I don't like buying Xmas things until after my birthday.
 
That made me laugh!!!!!!!

I saw cat ones too, I was standing there seriously considering buying them...

I'll prob get the girls (dogs) a new toy each and they need a new bed but that's practical stuff so it's ok! And the cat will prob get a new toy, although he's happy with a piece of string!
