I love Christmas. I love everything about it. I love the decorations, the carols, the lights, and yes, even Christmas shopping! I have always tried to do my shopping throughout the year to spread the cost and work out. Despite this I still usually have a few last things to buy in December.
This year though I am trying to finish it all off now, so that I am not Christmas shopping and moving house at the same time. The plan is to get all the presents bought and wrapped before the school holidays, so that I can take them all down to the farm and just leave them there, ready for Christmas.
We generally keep Christmas pretty simple. Last year we splurged and got the kids a trampoline, so this year we really want to keep the gifts small. I have been shopping at the toy sales, but there wasn’t a lot of things which I thought the kids would like or use.
It sounds great to have all the shopping done 3 months in advance, but to be honest I am finding it quite hard. I always try to get them something to read, some new pencils/textas etc, and something to play with outside. But beyond this I am stuck. I hate the idea of buying them something just because I want them to have a gift. I have been googling gift ideas but still lack the inspiration. The Country Boy and I both love Lego, so they may get some. After all if I can’t think of something they would like, I should buy something we would like, shouldn’t I?
Help me out please! What Christmas present ideas can you give me??
Have your say...
