Yay!

I like to start mega early as i hate the rush and no parking spaces. I think i did quite well and got a few things for my fiance and he got a few things for me and his nephew.

Oh and i got fleece for the piggys last week, but planning on getting their presents later in November, as I'm wondering if animal magic pet supplies will be doing a christmas range for the piggys. :))

All i have to do now is ask people what they want and buy or order it online.

Anyone else started?

:)
 
I have thought about starting to make my christmas cards, but havnt had time yet, i dont really but many presents and my son changes his mind so often i better wait a bit closer to the time, but i do like to be organised, i think its a good idea to start early. x
 
I've started mine too :)) makes it much more bearable spreading it out:))

Oooh a Christmas range would be wonderful

I'm glad that I'm not the only one who is getting excited about a christmas range! I really do hope they do one. :(|)
 
Christmas guinea/bunny gifts sounds fab:)

I tend to get its when I see them all year round, mainly at craft fairs or vegan festivals for my vegan friends. Got a top in the sale for my aunt, a fleece for another aunt and will be ordering some things from the charity animal booklets. Got some Lyme Bay wines when we were in Devon to save postage.

Got all excited last night when I spotted a shopper bag with guineas on, a guinea mug and a.............wait for it............guinea pig jigsaw:):)) those were in Blue Cross christmas brochure and me wants!
 
Ooh yes! I am always terrible and never usually start any Christmas shopping, but I bought some things a couple of weeks ago. I plan to be really organised this year (but we'll have to wait and see if I manage it rolleyes :)) )
 
Better start writing Santa a letter and ask for all that piggy stuff! :))

I seen the t-shirts in the blue cross book they look nice.
 
OH NO not the "C" word already (having said that A "c" word range of piggy stuff would be brill)

I used to be a Christmas Buyer, working with baubles and tinsel etc all year round!

Going home covered in glitter every day was an occupational hazard but I absolutely loved it and never ever got bored of Christmas, despite my job. Understandably we got some really funny looks from passers by, while out in the streets doing photo shoots in the middle of the summer, putting up giant inflatable snowmen etc and covering houses in lights and blasting them with artificial snow. Was very good fun but I know not everyone could handle it being like Christmas every day!

Early Christmas Shopping sounds fab....but then again I enjoy any kind of shopping at any time of year :)
 
Well it's nice to see I'm not the only Christmas nut! I started shopping in September last year for last christmas, but I think I'll have to leave it a bit later this year with Steven getting this biopsy this week. May have to be a little more frugal this Christmas as well as with Steven being off work for however long, money is going to be a bit tight!
 
Yay nearly christmas! :)) I've started a piggie fleece shop in my back room, and so far made two piggie tunnels,(hand sewn) but ive decided I really need a sewing machine so going to get the £20 one from tesco, otherwise my eyes and hands may just fall off (teehee) i plan to make little guinea pig gift packs with fleecey tunnels, beds and prymids for my mother + sister in law, and one for my friend whos recently adopted two girlie piggies.

As well as that I've made tree decorations from fabric for small stocking fillers, oo and started making cards too, i just need to start making lists and think of something none piggie related for my OH...i think he's had enough with endless piggie convos ;) :))

We have cut down too and I'm sure that you will have a fab christmas and the piggys will be spoilt with their christmas veg. :))
 
I bought part of hubbys in about July I think mibbe earlier - tickets to see Russell Howard but dammit he found out only because he was goig to buy them for part of my Christmas but didn't know how to find out if I liked him or not lol - he wants cleaning stuff for his car so going to spread the cost of that out over next few months and after seeing the beautiful figurine that Samantha (Joey & Gizmo) got I am ordering one for my sister in law :) - I'm actually trying to hint to hubby that I would like one of our boys too - I need to be less subtle {:|

I'm going to try and get some unusual pressies from Canada too mainly for family and very close friends - yay loads of people have started woohoo not long now :(|)

I have the OHs birthday first in October! He always spends a fortune on me so I'm a bit worried :(
 
I used to have lots of presents to buy and always did it in Sept/Oct too. This year I only have 3 people presents to buy ... and the animals.... but I'm moving house Mid November (hopefully) so this year am going to try to leave it till after then ....eek .... but do hate shopping in December.... so might order everything online....

Well done for starting :))
 
I've nearly finished my Christmas shopping.......................... for the pets! LOLOLOL
 
I always start early too as I have 5 children, and 3 of their birthdays are in December and one in October! 8...

But doing well this year already got a Wii for the middle two for their main prezzy, so that's a big one sorted!

I usually get bits and bobs if I spot bargains or anything I know they will like from now onwards..
