I know, I know. We're not even out of October yet. Christmas is still 2 months away, but I need to get my arse in gear and start organising gifts now, as I have no hope of doing it all with end-of-November's paycheck alone.
Has anyone got any Idea's of what they are getting people? I know it's a way off, but I'm looking for inspiration. I really am clueless.
f*cking christmas....

I got my little sister a full long board set up for her birthday so shes been told that covers Christmas as well so thats sorted.
My best mate I'm absolutely stumped for, and my parents I've already bought some of their favorite sweets, dad is also getting a jar of my homemade mincemeat and a Simpsons advent calendar at the end of November cos hell love both. Think I might get them a big printed canvas of their new house or go and find my little sister at work, get a photo of both of us in uniform and then get it printed onto canvas for them.

I've always found the simplest presents are the best as there's lots thought behind it like Chris has pointed out -
•Pic frame with a nice pic of your family/little one
•Parents love homemade food
•etc
For this year..I'm fecking stumped and broke lol
Grant look online at websites for awesome ideas, find out what people would like and try and have it personalised etc

I've tried looking at websites, but its the usual garbage of personalised glasses, or candy thongs.
My parents, I think I have an idea of now, but the girlfriend, I'm stumped.

Done all of the above with the exception of the ring. And she can ask all she wants, but that ain't happening for a fair while yet! lol
