All done! Just the perishables grocery shop to do! It’s a benefit of having no friends. Nobody to buy for!

I've done most of mine online this year.

I've a few bits left but they're bits I'll pick up doing my normal weekly shop. I've also got a couple of donations to make so I can pop receipts into cards, I'll probably do those today.

I need to be organised due to working over Xmas. I also do all my mums shopping too so always start at the beginning of December.

I tend to do mine at Christmas so still quite a while to go. Although you wouldn’t think that listening to the fucking radio. Playing Xmas songs early December, what’s that all about?

All done, weeks ago. And I did most of it online, availing of present-wrapping services too so it doesn’t look like someone wrapped it in the dark.

So I’m avoiding the queue in the post office this year.

In other years, I also let shop assistants help me. Go to a good shop, shop assistant asks if they can help ... say yes, tell them tour budget, the sort of thing you are looking for, and a bit about who you are buying for, and listen to the suggestions. That helped me many times when buying for teenage nieces, shop assistants coming up with better ideas than I would.

Who do you have to buy for? What interests or hobbies do they have? What's the budget? I can try to come up with ideas for you if it will help
