With only really 5 weeks left till Christmas it’s time to start thinking about Christmas shopping. I love shopping but somehow the thought of braving the crowds this year does not seem that appealing!!
I always try to do any real Christmas shopping in the summer. Then, I just have to worry about my baking and dinner! Now that there are no young kids in our family anymore, we don’t really exchange gifts. We just have a family gathering or something simple. 🙂
I’m stuck for ideas too this year, normally I have lots of great ideas of what I can get everyone and have Xmas shopping well underway. I haven’t been as motivated this year. The kids haven’t either though, their Xmas list only has two things on it – so different to other years. xx
I did have ideas of doing more shopping in actual shops this year and less online, but then the thought of the crowds puts me off too. Plus, Ben produces Christmas lists complete with links!! X
I was asking Mr. T about his Christmas list and was like “you want a tool set? how about some tupperware? a small microwave?” and he was all “why would I want that??” and I’m all “College!!”
He goes, oh, yeah…
So Santa got on line and bought a mini fridge yesterday! 🙂
All online as everyone I want to give to lives abroad..but braving the shopsd from here to Christmas is a daunting prospect…not just the crowds, but the blasted fibreglass reindeer that they put outside on the pavement…you can get a nasty dig on the ribs from those horns..

I think we are heading that way too, now that the kids are getting older they are less excited about Xmas and presents. xx
It’s a relief and very sad, all at once!
I’m glad we can shop online now… it’s scary 37 days and I have not one gift… not even an idea :o(
