How is the Christmas shopping & wrapping going?

[Bootrip2]

I’ve started doing DDs which are the main ones, I have stuff I cannot find so will have to have a dig out at some point! My family secret santa to do and about 6 others to do. Chocs for DD school staff all on the stairs, then that’s me done - tree and decs going up at weekend. 3 x Christmas catch ups to do and a Christmas shopping trip with DS to get done.

Not great. Ordered my brother a hoody from gymshark - came the next day. Amazing. Ordered DH some joggers from there and since then two further separate orders and nothing arrived. I contacted gym shark yesterday who said they would resend my order or I could have an e-credit. An e-credit! I don’t think so. A refund if you please.

I have had a nightmare with both Jo Malone and Sainsbury's.
I placed an order with Jo Malone for one of their limited edition fragrances and then waited...and waited. Nothing arrived so I went online to track the order only to find they had cancelled it. I hadn't had any notification to say it was cancelled so rang them. They said they don't send out notification if an order gets cancelled and it was probably because it had now gone out of stock. Plus you have to ring to request a refund which would now take 7 working day! Unbelievably awful service. Some people on a tight budget may have to wait until the refund before they can buy another gift!
The item was then out of stock pretty much everywhere but luckily I managed to find the last one in a store in Cheshire.
Im also till waiting on Christmas pjs that should have been delivered into Sainsbury's 3 days ago. I asked at the collection point as had not received any notification to collect and the girl was so rude. I get that it is a busy stressful time of year for shop staff but if you have no customer skill then you need to be in another job. I was perfectly pleasant but was told my parcel was probably in a cage out the back and she would get round to it when she got round to it. Seemingly she still hasn't got round to it as i've not been notified it's ready.

I’m impressed by the B&B haul! 😁 I still have two very precious handsoaps from my 2023 visit - when they are gone I think I’ll be bereft. As to present buying and wrapping - I think I’m done. I just need to decide on what I’m giving to the baby for his birthday on the 18th December and then I’ll probably be running around to get more bits for the children’s stockings and their table bag gifts. I do everyone a table bag and I am nearly finished. So far everyone has a matchbox quiz game, Xmas socks and m going to get some chocolates and a can of something like cocktails or mocktails. The children already have a Duplo and Lego each but I’m struggling with what else to put in. I’m possibly not going to put drinks or chocolate in because they won’t eat their dinner!

I’m waiting on two items from Next. The rest is all wrapped and labelled.
Christmas cards made, just need to write them - that’s today’s job.

The Christmas baking on the hand is another story 😁
