You may think I am crazy but yes, I have started my Christmas shopping!
Not in a serious way but i have several gifts for no one in particular, ready to go!
I can’t help but grab a bargain when I see one!
A few weeks ago I went to a Yankee candle shop, all of their Christmas goodies were on sale- i grabbed a basket full! You can not fault a Yankee Candle, especially half price or less! These gifts always look generous!
I’ve also grabbed a few things from the ASOS sale. Mostly joke type presents for the office secret Santa! I work between a few offices and get roped into all the secret Santa groups- it can get out of hand! I’m glad to have a few things to hand so I don’t waste time and money panic buying!!
Also, december is my beloved’s birthday. It gets pricey. This is after all, a man-child, whose fourty something heart desires things such as play stations and x boxes- these don’t come cheap. I like to spoil him a little – he is a geek, but he is my geek!
Also, with christmas and birthdays comes nights out and celebrations -these all cost. I hate missing out, so I get organised! I grab bargains where I can, and i attempt to budget!
How do you manage the Christmas shopping mayhem?

I know I try to start my Christmas shopping in July or August so that by fall I have most of my gifts bought, and I’m not having to squeeze in family travel budgets with Christmas gifts budget. 🙂

So true! It’s so much better to spread the cost! We can treat ourselves a little as well then! X

YESSS. I officially allow myself to Christmas shop from June 1st. It gives me 2 days rest after my twins’ birthday at the end of May. I can’t stand the December rush!
