That sounds really nice. I say every year I'm going to do it early but I never do. If only I knew what to get everybody.Abnoba said:Got half the presents already, and am just in the process of wrapping them I know I'm early, but I like to get it done and then I can sit back and enjoy December with its christmas lights and chocolates and scented candles and herbal tea, while everyone else is rushing around in a mad hurry, trying to get everything done last minute
Abnoba said:I start in January to make a word document - first it says BIRTHDAYS and then all the names of friends and family who will get anything, in date order. after that, CHRISTMAS - all the names again.
then during the whole year, if I get a sudden thought "oh she might like that!" I write it down in that list behind the name. Applies to both birthdays AND christmas. For example I found something for my mum in law for christmas in August - I just knew shed like it - so I bought it. Things that have already been bought I put in bold letters.
So when it comes to christmas time, I look at the list, where during the whole year I have already put suggestions for gifts down - and then I just need to go shopping, without the headache to find the right present in a month.
Works well for me
