[pingu97]

Does anyone know when the 3 for 2 offers come in on xmas toys & gifts in woolworths & boots? i know it's only october but have a big family & like to be prepared!

Boots may be in now they are advertised in the gift catalogue anyway

If you just chill out and enjoy the autumn sunshine and stop thinking about the blasted c-word you will find that the offers come around again on about the 20th december which gives you plenty of time to get eb=verything organised.

Im with you pingu, I like to have it all done before december so I can relax when everyone is panicking :)

This year I have told hubby that all shopping will be done by end of November then I can enjoy it for once.

last year, i got loads of cr%%ppy 3 for 2 boots/woolie etc pressies sno they all went to the charity shops where theres loads for sale in january, does that not say something? i think its a lazy option unless u are buying them just for kids, but my 9 year old laughed at his last year! saying "mummy, i saw these in boots" but he cherished the gifts that people put thought in to, thats the meaning of giving and receiving, isnt it?
try ebay and amazon, great ideas for cheapie gifts and no-one will know! i bought a cute rocket kit for �5 and its still in use from last xmas........ good old amazon

Did a bit of shopping on amazon last year using relatives wish lists and it was much easier, but unfortunatly do have to shop on the high street as well so that is why this year I have insisted on doing ie before the country start its annual panic

thanks for your replies everyone, i'm doing my shopping now as all my hubby's family lives in Kent and dont get to see them often, his mum is making the last trip this year up here 1st week in November and seeing as we have 7 neices & nephews all under 11 to buy for down there it is best for me to send xmas pressies down with his mum than spend a fortune in postage. I never buy adults gifts from woolies or boots 3 for 2 but with all the kids in the family & a 4 yr old of our own, the 3 for 2 toys come in very handy!

I'm with you velvet, my friend works in Boots, so every Xmas & birthday without fail i get some crappy gift set which probably barely cost her a fiver and she put zero thought into - and it's the thought that counts!

I do a lot of my xmas shopping from places like Iwantoneofthose.com, truffleshuffle.co.uk, and amazon. I was in Devon over the summer and picked up a couple of bits for people, cos i like to be organised. Christmas seems to be getting earlier every year though!
