    I only get a present for one person, my god-child, and i just give her mother the money to buy it because i don't know what to get for a 5 year old girl. no, i haven't given her the money yet.

    College project deadline and procrastination of said has kept me from getting anything done yet. Hopefully make a jump on it now come Friday.

    have had everything bought by three weeks ago


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,084 ✭✭✭✭Stark


    Waiting on one present to be delivered. Other than that, nope, haven't started shopping yet. I've just walked round town idly planning to buy stuff but never coming home with stuff.

    Nothing bought yet no. Will probably do it at some stage this week though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,330 ✭✭✭Gran Hermano


    All ordered on-line...

    I now know my postie very well as I've had to sign for parcels each day
    for the last 2 weeks.

    Delivery/Postal charges versus parking costs and the hassle of busy shops,
    me thinks I've done rather well!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,878 ✭✭✭Rozabeez


    Most of it done, getting paid **** money weekly makes it awkward....hopefully finish it on Wednesday


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,673 ✭✭✭✭senordingdong


    Got most of it done in the January sales.
    Just the parents left now...the ****ing difficult ones too.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,857 ✭✭✭✭Dave!


    Doing Kris Kindle with my family, so only had to get stuff for 1 person, and he wanted a few DVD box-sets, so I got them all yesterday -- sorted! :D

    Nothing bought yet, I've a deposit put down on the main present.

    Everything is been bought this Friday, figure I can do it in 30 minute's I've pretty much worked out what to get everybody so it's jsut a case of running around Henry St.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,894 ✭✭✭Chinafoot


    Have the other half's present done and dusted. Parents will be half done on Thursday and I have a list made out and know exactly where I'm heading for in town on Friday morning.

    Not looking forward to it, but hopefully I can get it all done quick enough.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,917 ✭✭✭✭iguana


    I've got it about half done. I've got the most important things for my husband, though I may pick up a few more things if I come accross them. I have one of my brothers, one of my grandmothers and my in-laws. I still have to do one grandmother, one brother and my parents.

    Don't know if my husband has anything for me though, it was just my birthday on on Thursday so he has to think of two lots of things for me within 2 and a half weeks of each other. I'd feel sorry for him, but I do get two lots of great presents in one month so I don't care.:D

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 408 ✭✭Blondie86Star

  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 10,912 Mod ✭✭✭✭Ponster


    All done online and just waiting for the CO2 wine bottle opener to turn up :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,821 ✭✭✭18AD


    Bought my mam's present online with her own credit card.
    I paid her back of course :rolleyes:

    I'll probably get her somethin' else as it's the only person I gotta buy for.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,350 ✭✭✭Lust4Life


    Next week Monday I will start and fiinsh.
    I loathe Christmas shopping.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭TerrorFirmer


    I like it generally speaking apart from my parents. Haven't done any of it yet really though. Don't plan on either, until next week.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,928 ✭✭✭✭rainbow kirby


    Have bought one thing so far, not looking forward to shopping. I don't really like this time of year at all.

    Most done. Two small things to pick up and that's another year finished.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,258 ✭✭✭✭Rabies


    All of my 10 presents bought on one day three weeks ago. Wrapped, packaged and posted a few thousand miles from Auckland to Tipperary the next day.
    Got a call from my parents a couple of hours ago to say they arrived today.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 697 ✭✭✭the Shades


    Just got back from starting it in Venice this weekend. Just one or two more things to buy and it will all be sorted out. Great excuse for a quick holiday to visit friends :D

    Working 9 - 5.30 weekdays doesn't leave much options.. might just do a massive shop on Saturday.

    I know what i'm getting the parents but no-one else! :(
