How Will Do Your Christmas Shopping?

[NuttySlack]

Spend about 20 minutes in town buying presents. 10 minutes to wrap. Easy.

I'll do a bit of both, online and shopping. Normally just do it online though.

What Christmas shopping

 

I'm suing for discrimination, because there's no poll option for me and people like me.

[Rupert_Baehr]

I did most of mine online. There are one or two things I want to buy which I want to see and I will go to stores to buy them.

 

I've been dong most of my shopping online for years. At first, I did wondered whether by doing that I was taking business from local traders, but when the councils started raising parking charges in the run up to Christmas and when they started making life more difficult for Christmas Shoppers, commonsense prevailed.

 

If those who run parking in the cities want to make life difficult (or more expensive ) for Christmas shoppers, let them explain to the shop-keepers why they are driving the trade away.

I've done the majority of mine online this year, got fella, mum, stepdad and brother sorted so far. Just got to come up with the impossible now - what to buy dad? I'll probably end up doing the mad dash as well but without the organised list.

No option for shopping at independent retailers and craft fairs which is where I buy my presents:)

I've just remembered there is a craft/gift fair at the Crucible Theatre this Saturday 27th November so will go and take a look!

i won't be doing any. christmas shopping is just a way of conning us into spending money we can't afford on buying things we don't need.

 

Same here. If I do buy anything, it will be a useful present like food or drink.

 

Can you believe there are families who would rather spend money on presents than essentials like rent, gas and electricity?

There needs to be an option for 'all of the above'. That'll be me!
