I start shopping on boxing day for the following year. I have a list of people to buy for in my diary & I keep an eye out for things that are on sale that would suit someone on my list, for example for my 12 year old cousin I got a massive make-up set in a carry bag reduced from $55 to $10 because there was only 2 left.
Then at this time of year I only have to get 1 or 2 presents & Im done.

Ive been doing this for 5 or 6 year when I was an apprentice & renting, so I had no money at Christmas & I had to spread it out or some people wouldnt get anything
