Solved the problem years ago - don't do any!!!

Well, OH and I exchange gifts but we're cutting down this year and I've given him a very short list! I will buy his present(s) in town next week. Also bought a little something online for new grandchildren.

The other children in the family receive money, a long story but it's just easier to do this and it suits all involved.

Researching:
Gloucestershire, Dorset, Hampshire, Derbyshire, London, Lithuania, Russia

Tell the truth .............. I detest it full stop !

The people I buy for seem to have everything they want already. It just fills me with anxiety trying to rack my brains to think of ideas of what I can give them.

If i won the lotto i would hire a personal shopper to do it for me. :-D

Rose, I am having such a BIG love affair with Amazon this year, no schlepping around the shops, no tearing hair...Just one click... and...like magic...it arrives on your doorstep. <3 <3 <3

On line with free postage, there's been some good deals around this year in Canada at least.
I only shop at this time of the year if I really have to, hate the crowds....no correction...I hate how some people are so thoughtless and don't care who they push to get there first.....
At least with on line the only pushing is me pushing the kids off the computers so I can use it.
