Hows your's going?
I've only bought one present so far, lately my mum has taken an interest in china so I got her a saucer thats in the collection she already has a teapot in off ebay. Most of my friends don't do christmas presents anymore (the exception being neh who is very easy to pick stuff for as long as you know she doesn't already have it) so I don't have heaps of people to buy for. I have no idea what to get my boyfriend this time around, he already has a nice watch from me, designer cologne, stuffed animals, dvds, books etc from me so I'm kinda at a loss for new ideas.

Hehehe - i am pretty easy to buy for, i guess! I'm happy to make people's shopping a little easier in that sense, as it's certainly stressful enough! But Dom your mention of "stuffed animals" for Phil barely covers the brilliance of THAT bear... what a day that was! Dom got a bear from one of those shops where you stuff and clothe them and goodness-knows what else - it was so darn cute! An utterly insane concept for a store, but cute nonetheless!

I've only bought one present so far : a concert of Pink Floyd on DVD for my mum. I have to admit that I'm really happy about this present because I'll enjoy it too ! lol

Christmas shopping is going well. I'm almost finished Daniel's shopping. The kids we're almost done with. I love Christmas shopping, I love shopping for the kids because they are adorable. Kids make the holidays better.

Wow, you´re already buying gifts! I usually do that about two weeks before Christmas but I know what to get for my family and my friends just get cookies since we agreed that we don´t have that much money.

I haven't bought or thought about a single one! It's been so busy at work lately (I just came back from a one week seminar - it went super well but it was exhausting!), and we still haven't got any snow so the Christmas spirit hasn't caught up with me yet. But I've made up a list that I'm going to bring with me to Mexico and hopefully I can get some nice and original gifts down there.

i have some of my shopping done. i have all of my mom's present and half of my dad's. i know what im gettin my sis but i still have to order it. im not exactly sure what im gettin my boyfriend but his best bud wants to get him a bass guitar (he's been dying to have one) and he wants it to be like a joint gift from the two of us. ill prolly do that since he wants one but ill prolly add my own lil special gift too....i just have no clue what. one nice thing about goin to college is i have less gifts to buy! lol. i would always buy gifts for all the girls in my class so its nice not having as many gifts to think of. plus im a poor college student so i dont have much money to spend!

I have all my shopping finished. That way I don't have to worry about shopping and writing my exams. Once exams are all done, I think my mum has planned for me to bake. She seems to have gotten the idea that I love to bake.

cookies are yummy...what kind of cookies? lol I always make an assortment because I bake as many kinds as possible. Chocolate chip and macaroons and scones and I always decorate them. Baking vocabulary is weird. "Spritzgebäck" is translated with cookies which is way too general.

Well I just found out the china I bought for mum off ebay has since been dropped by the seller and chipped, I've already paid for it so they're gonna give me my money back. I don't realy have any idea of what to buy anyone else, the cookie idea sounds like a really good one though lol.

I finally bought my first Xmas gift: a book of poetry in French and English for my friend who's learning French.
