I’m fighting it this year as I know it’s just the usual pressure that gets put on Christmas
Dh wanted the new Xbox which isn’t going to happen so he has 3 small gifts and will get the Xbox at a later date Dd (21) has trainers and makeup Ds didn’t want anything but has new trainers and will get 2 online games on the day Anything else I get at this point will just be stuff that won’t get used |

Granddaughter is 2 we bought all her presents months ago , then my husband decided she needed a mini version of my sons stock car , so he had that hand made and it arrived yesterday, not cheap but she’ll love it So budget well and truly blown . |

I commented on another thread a couple of days ago that I always do this! Set budgets say I’m not going mad this year then a few days before Xmas it all goes out the window and I panic buy! So far my last minute gifts include 2 aftershave sets (one for DS and DH) an electric foot warmer for DH and an infrared spirit level for DH (didn’t realise they existed until I saw one on spoonful of sugar’s vlogmas yesterday) that’s arriving from Amazon today... oh and I bought BIL a footstool that looks like an elephant 😂🤣... someone please stop me lol 😂

I have been tempted- even this afternoon I was in two minds whether to pop to Argos. The awful non-stop rain and the fact that i’ve already slightly over-spent 🤫 stopped me. The items I was going to buy was 2 ‘Style Stations’ for DD’s to put their hairdryers/straighteners in, and a Shark cordless handheld vacuum (as my G-Tech has stopped working and is out of warranty 🙄 so it wouldn’t have been a cheap trip either.

As extra surprises (after deciding we've spent enough) I've just booked for DD - tickets for the musical Bedknobs & Broomsticks which is doing it's premiere tour next year - and for DH an overnight stay and dinner at our favourite spa hotel for a couple of months time.
The best thing is I get to share both treats (methods in my madness )

I always go thru the presents a few weeks before, to make sure there isn’t a startling difference value wise. I try to make sure there isn’t a big difference between the number of presents. My dd and ds both in their 30’s tell me I am silly. I grew up in a family with two sisters and were always treated the same, not so in my husbands, where he and his 2 brothers would have a gift but their younger sister would have sack fulls. This year my ds and dil have had a new back door fitted in November, which I told them they could not open till Christmas Day 😀 and my dd had a chipped tooth, so she has had some dentistry done.If I see a big difference I will panic buy.

On Monday I ordered a portable football net for my dgs from argos, it arrived this afternoon, was really impressed with their delivery service. Was also sent a text to tell me it would be delivered in 3 minutes, so was able to distract dgs when it arrived
