Pancake Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 My mamma is poor so if she manages to stretch to the complete X Files boxset i'll be happy to leave it at that.
Deap Posted November 5, 2010 Author Posted November 5, 2010 who already started his Christmas shopping?
nightwolf Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 Not this again... It's November. It's 5 weeks til christmas - if you have a lot of presents to buy this is relatively late. As it is I have 4 presents to get this year, one is majorly expensive for me (a digital pocketwatch..argh!) but anyway, my parents and sister are easy to buy for so they shall be left a little later. Do people send christmas cards?
Retro_Link Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 ^ Only really send 'family cards' to friends and family. I've already bought my first Christmas present, Iron Man 2.
Rinha Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 I could say i already started my Christmas shopping... but i act on the basis of just walking around, stumbling on something and thinking "oh, god, X would love this!"- usually ending up with a trip to the till. It has to just... hit me. I hate having to put time aside to actively go buy presents, normally ends in disaster and me getting things i'm not keen on giving to people. I just randomly walk around and let shelves inspire me. Having said that, inspiration doesnt always strike so i like having plenty of time to do my shop runs. But i have a feeling that this year it'll go well. I have a few ideas already. As for my personal list... I just want AC:B-Codex. And a loads of luvs from the ones who mean a lot to me. I'm easy to please! xD
Cube Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 who already started his Christmas shopping? I started in September. This year, I'm just getting stuff for my siblings (8), parents (4), nephew (1) and the grandparents (2) I currently live with.
Wesley Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 I haven't even thought about Christmas stuff yet. I hate spending money on gifts for people in my family I don't really like. It's stupid and shit.
Paj! Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 I like Christmas shopping when it's actually christmas time. It can't be that stressful to just do it at the time. Unless you shop in central London or something. Only thought I've given it is seeing a Mr. Messy mug in Hawkin's Bazaar I might get for my dad.
Ramar Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 who already started his Christmas shopping? I done my first bit of shopping purely because I had a 20% code for play.com that ran out today. I'm a bit skint so saving myself a few quid was ideal and necessary.
Charlie Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 It's 5 weeks til christmas - if you have a lot of presents to buy this is relatively late.

Do people send christmas cards? 5 weeks? I think you need to take a look at your calendar again. In terms of what's on my list. I'd quite like a good printer as it's a pain to go all the way to the library just to print something. If I were to get one I'd like one which has wireless capabilities, scanner and cartridges which don't cost a fortune. There's nothing else really that I really want as anything I need I just tend to buy myself. I like just getting things for presents that I would like but can't justify buying myself, like the printer. Maybe a nice tie or something too.
Daft Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 It's 5 weeks til christmas - if you have a lot of presents to buy this is relatively late. Not sure what time zone you're in but I count 7 weeks. I always grab everything the week before, normally the couple days before. I don't understand how it takes some people so long.

I don't understand how it takes some people so long. I don't think it's the fact it takes people a long time, it's normally just a case of... a) people who don't use the internet want to start getting stuff in, to avoid things being sold out. b) people who want things that are out from around now onwards, just decide they'll have it for christmas, or give it to someone for christmas.
Raining_again Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 Tuesday past our towns christmas lights were turned on....
Guy Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 All I want for Christmas is you... guys to buy me loads of presents and feed me turkey and grapes. I would also like a jetpack that has a cup holder, a golden replica of the Neon Genesis Evangelion Longinus Spear, two cans of Scooby Doo Pasta shapes, a chocolate dog shaped like a cat, five golden rings, a blade of grass from Israel, pork sausage with the word "Hello" written boldly upon it, a delicious cake, a bucket full of blue sand, a small replica of the solar system constructed with pasta, hope and dreams, a piece of ice shaped like a Spitfire from outer space, red socks, there's more...
Oxigen_Waste Posted November 6, 2010 Posted November 6, 2010 Nah, The3rdChildren has more impact. With the balls.
Frank Posted November 6, 2010 Posted November 6, 2010 Though it's pretty unique, the length is slightly distracting :p Just my 2 cents. At least I'll always know when a comment is by you
Paj! Posted November 6, 2010 Posted November 6, 2010 Just rename yourself Cunt. Impact and succcintability. It's win-win.
Guy Posted November 6, 2010 Posted November 6, 2010 It's in the hands of the mods and admins now, people. I have no control over this crazy train they've thrown me upon.
nightwolf Posted November 6, 2010 Posted November 6, 2010 Not sure what time zone you're in but I count 7 weeks. I always grab everything the week before, normally the couple days before. I don't understand how it takes some people so long. It's because someone mentioned it was 5 weeks til the christmas holidays to me just before I wrote it - geez. My Neighbours have had christmas lights on since the end of September, which is odd given it's mostly a Muslim community here...at least I know those houses are. Strange.

I don't understand how it takes some people so long. It's not about taking so long, some people like to spread out their purchases so it doesn't hurt their wallet as much heh. Plus for some presents you buy online you have to calculate in shipping time. I'm gonna start with my shopping now, at least for some of it already. I dislike having to go out into town in December as it's super busy and it just makes me all stressed. I want to try and avoid it as much as possible haha.
Frank Posted November 6, 2010 Posted November 6, 2010 My Neighbours have had christmas lights on since the end of September, which is odd given it's mostly a Muslim community here...at least I know those houses are. Strange. You really believe Christmas is still a christian holiday?
Ashley Posted November 6, 2010 Posted November 6, 2010 Just rename yourself Cunt. Impact and succcintability. It's win-win. No. That's what Jodie and I named our cat kitten. Anyway. Christmas. One thing I'm really looking forward to - my nan's homemade mince pies
Wesley Posted November 6, 2010 Posted November 6, 2010 You really believe Christmas is still a christian holiday? Quiet, infidel.
