So far I’ve bought tubs of Quality Street and Terry’s Chocolate Oranges. Yankee Candle Christmas gift sets (sale in Cheshire Oaks outlet shopping), Mary Poppins Disney notebooks (£1 each Disney Store), Happy Socks & Undies ( sale TK Maxx), Whisky (on offer Costco).

The Christmas Skittles sound good.

I've got a lot of my nieces and nephews sorted this weekend thanks to the Argos sale.
Got 3x poopsie slime unicorns from £50 each down to £25 each.
Then the smaller poopsie slime for £6.50 each.
Also got some LOL pets and boy dolls that they have been wanting too at £7.00 and £7.50 andvalso a bubbly surprise, So that's them sorted. Granted some are Birthday gifts but still it all helps lol.
2 younger nieces got a tiny treasures twin doll set each, which was £70 down to £35 and an outfit each for £5 and £6 each.
Another niece doesn't like slime but she's had her eye on a particular tiny treasures doll so I've gotten her that. £40 down to £26.50

Nephews were wanting various legos etc so they've been gotten too.
Myself and my mum split the costs of their "big gifts" and we then get them a smaller gift too.
This weekend we've saved over £200 so they're basically all done. Just the adults to get now.

I've got quite a lot of my presents in - like others I start in the online Boxing Day sales and put them up in the loft, then I buy others through the year - I rarely pay full price for anything but then I end up giving everyone twice as much
In the Orlando Disney outlets last month I got a gorgeous Minnie Fleece for my niece ($15 instead of $50) and other gifts. I also got 3 sets of Ears, bubble wands, t-shirts as we have family going to WDW in Feb - I've bought them lanyards too from a Dibb seller.
Still have some to get, especially for DD, DH, dad, and the worst to choose for - our 18 year old grandson!

Me neither. We've just started having milk delivered again in an attempt to reduce some of our plastic waste. I'm really surprised at the range of things you can order. Felt very nostalgic seeing the first bottles on my doorstep.

I got a really good deal on an xbox for my youngest in july from AO. Bought a 49" smart 4k tv and added the xbox with forza game for £50 so only cost 329.00 for TV and xbox.

I bought loads of smelly gifts in the January sales, I bought aftershave and perfumes with my boots points which I have been saving for a while.
When we were in Orlando in August/September I bought tonnes of stuff for the grandkids and my DS's and DDIL.
I have bought everything in sales and not paid full price for anything lol.
I bought DH 3 pairs of Hugo Boss socks in the sale £8 each instead of £18, still socks but paid less!
I see things through the year and just squirrel them away until this time of year, then get everything out and go through what I have and what else I need to buy. Saves so much hassle for me.
I have bought a few things in Costco this year as well, mainly clothes for my dad and a couple of boxes of 6 bottles of wine which will go as emergency gifts! (otherwise will be drunk by us! )

I do exactly the same

I have got my 6 year old a minecraft dressing gown & a 2 pack pj’s set from Asda with 25% off in store. Total bargain, worked out about £18 for all of them.

This week with my Tesco shop I bought a large 1kg tin of Heroes, and in M&S a pack of their extremely chocolatey biscuits. I’m also aiming to buy my youngest DD’s main present this week - she’s asked for a Rainbocorn Big Bow Surprise- currently £45 in Argos (I’ve just reserved it & can collect from Friday. It’s actually cheaper than Amazon for once - they’re charging £49.99 + £3.99 delivery - not available on Prime which we have). I will be ordering Minions Monopoly from Amazon for her though.
