Mine were from Next - would like to get some major things out of the way but you always know that just before Christmas there's going to be a new thing that every child wants. Last year it was Nintendo DS for Gemma's age - so we got it quite early before they sold out, and then they brought out the Nintendo WI - wonder what it'll be this year????? Anyone heard ??????
OH MY GOD!!! i was told that christmas is only a hundred and something days away! where does the time go? It does not seem that long ago that i was going through the stress of putting together the pre-school christmas production!!!!
I haven't even thought of it yet. But it would be smart to start shopping for my family and friends soon. Thanks for reminding me! And, yes, time flies.
Well I looooooooooove Christmas - Never do any shopping until week before christmas - but start planning for the event around now..... in our family I'ts not really about pressies, in fact you only get 'proper pressie' if I happen to find something that is really relevant!!! Apart from that giftwise it's now become traditon in family to get the 'naffest' pressie going- with a 'who can get the best pressies from the poundshop or like!!!!!!!! I'm not saying we don't do christmas - we just plan to make the 'day' special - not the presents!
I have only recently discovered the pound shop and what bargains!Already got the first activity for the Mothers and Toddlers Group!Cut out Teddies with eyes.bows etc enough for 20 children for £2!! Now just need story,song!
Bought some items for next years village fete as well !!
