Dos_Box Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 It's that time of year again! Halloween and bonfire night have come and gone, the shops are now full of tinsel and the TV flooded with perfume/aftershave commercials. So it's time we stated this years Christmas thread. Here you can post up present ideasand (if like me are hopeless at buying gifts) ask for ideas. I'll start you off with this small (and cheap) gift from Nintendo: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00NQT48L4?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00 I picked it up for £10 on Saturday but the price is now £13.99!! It's an Amiibo carry case but is just an empty case (no partitions) so can be used for anything (small) really. And it looks smart!
bald_pig Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 got no idea what I want yet, but you've given me an idea, Edugeek secret santa anyone?
Dos_Box Posted November 9, 2015 Author Posted November 9, 2015 IT'S NOVEMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's the point. In one months time people will be panicking. This thread is here to prevent that from happening and allow you get your present list sorted out without last minute running around.
dry Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 I will try and maintain my tradition of not worrying about the commercial side of Christmas until Christmas eve. Thankfully most people are slightly more organised than I am, meaning I cruise into the town centre 1-2 hours before the shops close and obtain all required gifts for the next day with very few other shoppers to contend with. I've also found a lot of shops start their sales on Christmas eve, so it's a winner all round!
Tesla Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 firebox.com is a very good website, though there are some....adult gifts on there. 1
kennysarmy Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 It's my birthday very close to Christmas, should I start my own thread or just ask for what I want in this thread? 1
bald_pig Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 I could do with a pair of 3Tb drives for my home NAS?
Dos_Box Posted November 9, 2015 Author Posted November 9, 2015 If you do leave your shopping until Christmas eve I can highly recommend going into M&S about an hour before closing. All of that very expensive food is going for a song! Last year we took the kids to the Winter Gardens in Blackpool on Christmas eve as they were showing the Polar Express in 3d and was very cheap to get in (about £10 for all of us IIRC). We left about 3pm and went in M&S. Got a £45 turkey for £10 and a whole boot load of desserts, nibbles, chocolates and other stuff which would have come to over £100 for less than £30
Vegas Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 Dear Santa I would like a set of telescopic ladders. I've been a good boy all year. 1
simonw Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 I agree with DalekSec. It really winds me up all of a sudden we are hit with a tsunami of Christmas ads. Watching TV last night I think we saw an advert from each of the big retail groups. And they all try to outdo each other on their 'productions'. But I like (one of many) of the John Lewis ad.
LeMarchand Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 IT'S NOVEMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think you mean: IT'S CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

kennysarmy Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 I'd like Forest Green to still be top of the National League at Christmas....can't seem to find that on Amazon anywhere

Joanne Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 I've ordered this for Mr Pete Motivational Quotes to Help You Be More Positive: Amazon.co.uk: Chris (Simpsons Artist): 9781409158769: Books We've bought all the presents for nieces and nephews. Just got a handful of adults to buy for and we're done. Started in september to spread the cost and avoid the mad weekend before christmas Trafford Centre crush!
witch Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 price range approx 100-150 I have done most of the non-immediate family but my own children are USELESS at wanting anything (I must have brought them up right )
Arreks Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 My anniversary with the OH is conveniently (or inconveniently) around the Christmas/New Year time so I'll be enjoying myself in a log cabin for a week away from children and all that horrible festive cheer.
