Crimbo Present Budget

[medusa]

I can't afford to buy stuff all in one go and I hate going in to shops where there is a crush, so I do mine bit by bit through the year. It's all done now apart from 2 family memberships to attractions that I need to buy (and the food that can't be bought yet, of course).

We have 12 grandchildren but all but three of them have money, we buy gifts for the 3 youngest, and we give money or small gift to our children and their other halves so that is 2 daughters, 3 sons, 2 son in laws and 3 daughter in laws. The we both had 1 brother and 1 sister each with partners. So even though I start with a budget I don't usually manage to stick to it.

I like to wait until the last week or two, I like the atmosphere although I have bought a few presents I don't have to buy for many people

I pick up bits and bobs all year round then buy one big present for each person on my list(6 people in total) during october and november
