    I have seen a daft present to get my mum, and I'm tempted to get my best mates some necklaces, but other than that, I'm rather stumped! :)

    I send harassing emails to my family until they give me at least 2 options of what to get them. I told them they're getting gum if they don't reply. So far my mom is the only one... but she only gave me one idea, so that means she didn't follow the rules and she still gets gum.

    Thats such a brilliant idea :D I think mum dad and boyfriend can all have some Hubba Bubba this year.

    i wanted to get my gay friend a totem pole which i thought would double up as a dildo. but they're quite expensive and he might think it's hideous

    Im quite organised this year and I have notoriously difficult people to buy for.

    In the 5 years I've known my best friend she's been going on about wanting a candle making kit (she's 30 btw!) and I finally managed to find one this year that wasnt a Chad Valley one aimed at 5 year olds. She better get me something equally good after all my hard work tracking it down :p

    Gucci, since you wanted some inspiration...

    These pendants are lovely (my boyfriend bought me one as an early birhday present, and go quite cheaply for what they are! Buy a few of them in yor family/friends birthstones,a pack of silver chains off Ebay and boom! Christmas presents! :D It's what the boyfriends mum has done and I think I'm going to copy haha :)
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    I don't have the slightest idea. :(
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Ooh, this thread is for me as I'm pretty much all shopped up for my other half and best friends already. Everyone else, on the other hand, will probably be left until the last minute - especially my Dad who is the ultimate shopper's nightmare.

    Anyway, I've bought the boyfriend a USB turntable as his main pressie. The majority of his music is on vinyl and we don't have the space, so they'll then be able to go into storage for the time being... and make room for more of my junk ;)

    Then he is getting an inflatable sumo suit. I also purchased one for each of his brothers so they can participate in drunken wrestling on Christmas Day! I nearly exploded with excitement when I clocked them, only a fiver each.

    Other than that I will probably do him an Xmas stocking with lots of little things - chocolates, miniature whisky, Lush bath bombs (he's such a girl), the scarf I have lovingly handcrafted and definitely that book about Hunter S Thompson by Ralph Steadman which he will go ape for.

    My best mate is getting a Tatty Devine name necklace, as she covets mine so much I think it's about time she had her own. Another pal is getting Tatty's crisp necklace, one the guitar plectrum charm bracelet, one the fairy lights kilt pin (for her cape, she doesn't wear a kilt... that I know of) and the last a Terramundi money pot. My best boyfriend is getting a FourFourTwo subscription.

    As for my own list, it has been finalised and formally delivered to all interested parties (so just mr briggi and my parents then) :razz:

    I actually got them in Home and Bargains (classy!) but a friend of mine said you could get them on there... I hope he doesn't have the same idea, we do often speak of our appreciation for sumo wrestling :razz:

    It's bad enough that the fucking TV adverts have started
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    CD's and rings and shit probably.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    I got my mum a DVD (well, she ordered it then asked if I got her anything for Christmas adn suggested that I could give her the DVD)

    I haven't got my dad anything (again) don't think he really wants another Lynx deodorant & body spray gift thingy...
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    I'll just buy the usual shit for my family, something random for my mates and if I'm still seeing this bird then that's something else to think about.

    I never put much thought into any of it to be honest.
  • littlemissylittlemissy Posts: 9,972 Supreme Poster
    I want a Wiiiiiiiiii!!!!
    Then go to the toilet :p
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    I'll probably end up doing my shopping on Christmas eve...same as every year.


    I have no idea what I am buying anyone either.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru

I have no idea what to get my brother but its his birthday on Friday and I still havent got him anything! Plus he got me a really really nice braclet for my birthday. I need to get my brothers girlfriend something little as well (she got me a lovly bag for my birthday).

    I have bought a grand total of one presents.

    I know what I am getting other people for the most part though (not that I can write it on here as he will see). It's a bugger that both my brother and one of my sisters have their birthdays near Christmas, as that means twice the amount of imagination and twice the amount of money :(
