Are you a last minute kind of person, or are you organised & purchased and wrapped everything already? Personally I'm of the latter, well everything's bought & stashed away. Having 4 kids we generally start the buying in August to make sure they all get a goodly haul. Plus it's the only way to be able to afford it all tbh.
This year tho, I have done 100% of my shopping online & it's great! Now don't get me wrong, I'm not adverse to getting off my bum & trogging round the shops, but at christmas it's so damned tedious. Plus I've nabbed a few online bargains with quidco & google checkout etc. The mrs on the other hand has done her share in the shops, being a bit of a technophobe & paranoid about online fraud she's nabbed her fair share of prize purchases. (I know she stands more of a chance getting defrauded in random shops & petrol stations, but what can you do)
So on the balance of things it's been about 50/50 on the bargain front, but I recon I win anyway. Because I'm a manso there
But as Parm said in his DS post, at least with a shop, if it breaks or is faulty you can go in & have a face-to-face and sort it out.
Anyway, done yours yet?

God help me.

I'm rubbish at deciding what to get so usually end up leaving it to the last miniute and doing it all in one trip.
