In true bloke tradition I haven't done any Christmans shopping yet ... in fact I haven't even thought about it.

I'm relying on the missus to bail me out again this year ... she hasn't let me down yet in 18 years.

I suspect I'm no orphan ...

What's Chrismas shopping?

P.S All I shop for is the alcohol at Dans

Ahhh yep-

My husband thinks it's very funny every year to turn to the person who just opened a present from us and ask if he can have a look at what 'we' bought them

This year I actually prepared and did my Christmas shopping last month.

Wrapping them up is another story altogether though...

Have had my two boys pressies for some time now.

Nobody else on my list.

havent started although i think thursday will be the day i get around to it before cricket starts

I havent started either.

I also do a lot of my shopping at Dan Murphys

One year I did it all in the Bottlo' at the Highbury half cut on Xmas Eve, thankyou gift style bottle bags!!

1 - I dont shop.

2 - I dont shop.

3 - Mrs.Boon must shop or there actually is a Father Christmas...

ill be leaving 99% of my shopping for next wed after 12 when i finish work...
or the thurs

This discussion could almost go straight to "The Shed"

I know for a fact that I shop best under pressure.
When you know you only have an hour or so to buy half a dozen presents
its amazing how clearly you think!

If Im finished at Boo Moo Oink by then, I'll see you at Dan's!

be either shopping thursday night or sometime on the weekend.

No point doing it any earlier!

I went to 2 sports stores today to buy some golf balls for a family member who is an avid golfer. Couldn't believe they don't sell golf balls any more!

Does anyone know if stores like Dick Smith, Harvey Norman, Good Guys etc, have post xmas sales on tvs etc just after xmas. I'm looking at buying a tv and PVR and hoping i'll get a good deal week after next week.

Did you end up getting some? I find your franchise Sports Store are useless for this 'niche' market. Better off going that extra distance to a specialist store

Nah, i didn't worry about getting any. Just bought an alternative gift.

all over and shopped for. I do my chrissie shopping throughout the year and hide everything. Until the twins get smart and find my hiding space I am good.

got most of it done in an hour today. Happy with that

I usually leave all my shopping till about a week before christmas - but that's mostly because my daughters birthday is only 10 days beforehand and we'll usually organising something for that before we can even think about Christmas. And also because I like to just go on one day and get it all over and done with.

This year I've actually ordered a few things online for the first time.
Talk about convenient - it's great

The worst thing in the world is Christmas food shopping - you always need to take your patience pills before going to do that !!
Not looking forward to that bit one bit

This thread reminds me that I had meant to buy a Christmas present for a lady I know.
It's a bit tricky to find something that says something like "thanks"and "I like you" without implying anything more and setting up a misunderstanding to deal with later...
I'd better get off the computer and nick out for a look around.
