I started to buy christmas presents early this year, I noticed at around this time there are sales going on and decided to save a few quid by buying them early this year! :D. I already got my girlfriend a mega big christmas card which I just ordered last night for free rather than paying 6.00 quid for it :dance::dance:
Anyone else does this?

I've bought a couple of little presents. Like the big tins of roses were on offer and with my staff discount thought I'd get a couple ready.
That's so cute about the christmas card! xD I wish I had someone to do that for :P

Yah we started a couple of weeks ago. Not really with presents but as Martin said, like sweets, tree chocolates. No doubt we'll start all the present shopping in November some time :P

Hmm, haven't started yet. (Im 15, i don't buy presents yet).
But my mum hasn't started yet either, because shes not very good at hiding presents :).

I happen to have a love for roses, :love3:
I might get some if I see anything I think people would like, if not I just stick to nearer the time.

Oh a friend has bought all his presents in there for the past two years. haha :P
Nah I haven't bought anything yet.. I usually make the mistake of leaving it till a couple of weeks before Christmas... probably do same again this year :rolleyes:!

I know my Nan has finished christmas shopping, my mom is half way through or something. I usually buy them in the last week or something, i love the feeling of christmas shopping :)
My mum has bought like tins of roses because they were on offer, and ordered her turkey and duck..but thats it :L
I wouldn't even consider buying christmas presents now...there are far too many birthdays between now and christmas tbh!

Probably. No-one in my family ever finishes christmas shopping til christmas because they're always going past windows and thinking 'that'll be good for him', that'll be good for her!

I always find myself starting my Christmas shopping earlier and earlier every year. I guess it's my way of getting things taken care of as soon as possible.

I love shopping for stuff during the after-Christmas sales. Then you don't have to worry about them during the pre-Christmas rush and if you really want to get someone mad you'll give them a year old rotten fruitcake. :)
Oh wait, do they go bad? Never figured that one out. 'Tis a mystery.
