I love christmas time, but all of my friends are talking about getting each other loads of presents this year. Which is made more annoying as I don't work and don't have very much money. Not only that, I have completely no idea what to get any of them, well I had a few ideas, but if I get something for a few people I've really got to get everyone else something.
So does anyone else have any cheapish ideas for good all round presents? Or any general opinions of christmas coming up?

that depends what kind of friends do you have
My brother and I, when we're skint, have a couple of times agreed to just get a card (best/worst depending upon your opinion), and the funniest thing we can find for a quid.

Otherwise, just give cards and cheap but thoughtful presents - Christmas isn't about how much money you spend, it's just about giving and good cheer
It would be hypocritical of me to worship Christmas.
Christmas is about being with family and loved ones.
I wrote yeah instead of year.
I wish I could trademark that phrase. I think it has truly become 'stating the bleedin' obvious.' I fear I may hear it 9875 times between now and xmas.
And Christmas Shopping is the worst phrase in the world when you work in a pwerfume shop. Everyone decides its a good idea to buy perfume and aftershave for christmas. Which I dont think it is
it's hypocritical for most people to celebrate christmas. get used to it. most christmas celebrations are secular anyway, so i don't really see your problem with it.

christmas is wicked, like skating and bein 14...... mmmmmmm
*Dreams nostaligly*
can't spell for xylophones
Nice to see you again :wave: Shame I have to ruin the wb by telling you that being 14 is not wicked in any way, shape or form. Apart from the girls and the freedom. Or maybe that was the point :chin:
its chriiiissssstmaaaaaaaaaaasss.
I dont buy christmas presents for friends. Ive just told them not to get me anything as i couldnt afford to buy for friends. to be honest, most of them seemed relieved as they cant afford it either. I just stick to family - Thats expensive enough as it is.
Especially when you have kids!
The woman next door to me has 15 grandchildren, and she buys something for them all.
