What Christmas presents have you purchased this year, so far?

[pink]

I have a couple for my daughter. I bought her a Relic purse and a necklace. She doesn't wear much jewelry but I hope she likes it enough to wear it on special occasions, at least. The purse, again, I am hoping she likes it. She is VERY hard to buy for.


What do you have bought for your loved ones?

 

[Liar]

None of that until a week before, tops.
That way I don't over think it.

 

[doctor_insanus]

I bought an Amazon Gift Card for a friend. That's all, so far.

I'm probably gonna be a Scrooge this year. I can just feel it.

 

[blobfish]

None yet, and I'm not sure what I'll get.

 

[neci]

i've already made some earrings for my sisters.

Do you cast silver? That would be so cool.

 

[neci]

nope. i've never cast. these are made from found objects.

 

[Adre]

No presents anymore. It all goes to Make-a-Wish.

 

[LiFeNdEaTh]

i haven't gone just yet..

 

[RjThoughts]

None, I haven't received a list from my wife as yet, to what I can and cannot purchase for her.

 

[blobfish]

nope. i've never cast. these are made from found objects.

That's cool too! What sorts of things do you use? Is it like stuff you'd accumulate in a desk drawer?

None yet

The boy has a wicked obsession with Nanoblocks lately.

Got him the space shuttle and statue of liberty. Also, a couple lego sets, robie house and falling waters.

Coach bag for mumsie and a set of 4 sherry/cordial stems made by potomac glass co. in 1904.

I'm behind this year.

I hate everything about it except the finding that special something and the food.

The rest of the ritual can take a flying leap.

Oh, and, Fuck wrapping!

 

[knot_sweet]

Since my family don't do presents, I only have the boyfriend to spoil.
I couldn't decide between C.O.D B.O. II, the Abbey Road collection and a couple of really lovely art books.
So I got them all.
Gave him the C.O.D early so he can game with his mates.

I despise the commercialisation of it all.
And the wasteful spending on presents.

And don't get me started on wrapping!

 

[blobfish]

I hate receiving presents of any kind.

 

[RjThoughts]

Boy, I hate to say it but:

My family celebrates both Dec 25 AND Jan 6, though the Epiphany we exchange sweets and stinky stuff and never wrap.

 

[hobbit.]

Good point. i once made a 'friend' some slippers i made out of a couple of road kill cats i found at the roadside. they looked ok, but smelt a bit rank.

Every year, I give gifts from Oxfam.
One year it was goats, another it was sewing machines....

some tight bastard bought me an oxfam goat once. i was delighted.

someone at work was also given shares in a mountain gorilla, sadly it got trapped by poachers and killed. first thing the gift recipient knew was a letter from the charity informing them of the sad loss of the gorilla!

I think it's a great idea.
Why not help out?
Beats spending on presents that most people don't need and likely never use!
