Christmas Shopping 2022

Ask a Question

Well I must say some of the deals and discount codes posted so far this year have 0been brilliant and I've taken full advantage and got a good head start on my Christmas shopping for 2022. Has any one else started their festive shopping??? It makes brilliant sense as you can get things at such good prices in the January sales. I've got about £750 worth of gifts most of them designer brands and I've spent less than £300. Xmas shopping this way eliavates the pressure financially on the months running upto the festive season for me, does any one else agree and do it this way??? X

I haven't started doing the shopping yet but I am starting to save my vouchers from my surveys to use towards the Christmas shopping as it helps us save a lot of money doing it that way.

Has the 90% Boots sale happened yet? One year I got loads of gift sets and made the contents into hampers the next Christmas. Usually now I save Amazon vouchers to buy for the grandchildren. Adults get food hampers, often including cashback freebies.

Yes, every year. My sons birthday is a week after Christmas and we simply wouldn't be able to afford it all at once. So as soon as Christmas finishes I start shopping, it is getting harder as he gets older though.

Always start in the sales and carry on squirrelling away things all year. My problem is storage though. Nowhere to stash all the goodies!

The last couple of years I have stopped Christmas shopping and feel so much better for it. I have adult children now and no grandchildren. What I do instead is buy something that they actually need during the year. Two of my daughter are moving so I will help them physically and purchase somethings they need for their new homes.

I never start mine early but I'm very tempted to this year. The main thing I worry about is if somebody ends up getting whatever I bought before I get to give it, in between now and Christmas.

I always start early. Even more so with the cost of living going through the roof.. I think prices at Xmas are going to be ridiculous. I have a cupboard filled with gifts suited to all ages for Xmas, birthdays etc..My neighbour brought a few things off me for a bday present as she forgot about it and started to panic. She says she'll ask again if needed. I like to be organised. I get totally stresses otherwise.
