Hi all;

So lets talk christmas shopping!

Do you shop online, in store, both?

I haven't even started yet (to busy planning my menu!) Everyone is getting a voucher this year mainly because they have to be posted.

I love love love Christmas!!

I have done most of the boys pressies during the year.

I have laybye at target and other wise my fav site is LCB toys and decor they have a facebook page and website but FB page has much more stuff on it!!
I like using experience sites like FreemanX, red balloon etc.

Hmm not sure currently what other sites I am in love with.

Same here! Christmas is one of my favourite times of the year, especially now with kids!

I just checked out lcb, I have a feeling they might be getting an order of me in the near future! Thank you!

I've been doing a lot of online shopping for this years Christmas pressies because I haven't had much time to go shopping.

I bought the girls some stuff from the Smiggle website, they had free post if you spent over $50. It was so much cheaper for me to do that than to drive the hour to go there. I got my order in 2 days . One of the items was missing, I rang them and they're sending it out to me today. I'm really happy with their service, I'll definitely buy online again.

I've also bought a few Wii/PS games on ebay, I find they're cheaper there than the games stores.

Apart from that I don't really have any bargain secrets.

LOOOVVEEEE christmas. Unfortunately because I love it so much I have usually gotten all the kids christmas shopping done by July. I love shopping about as much as I love christmas

I buy / layby things when they are on sale. I have bought the boys a wooden table and trainset earlier this year from toys'r'us - half price. And i have bought and laybyed some smaller presents and costumes from various places. I have also put on layby a big wooden dollhouse (sale item) for my DD and have nbeen picking up Barbie dolls when they come up on sale.

So the only presents I have left to buy are for DH (no idea what to buy him - probably something borring like shoes) and then a small something for my parents, my nephew and siblings who will be in Canberra (we only buy for those we see on the day, limit of $20 pp). Easy Peasy.

I haven't started yet.... And have no idea what to get any of the people we buy for.

My family secret santa though, I decided to make her present, she's getting handmade lip balm and handmade bath scrub... and maybe something else if I can find a good enough recipe.

I love christmas and christmas shopping! All of DS's presents are on layby as are my nieces and nephews. All I have left to get is DH and mum and her partner, and some small things like chocolates for my brothers.
