We had a very productive Christmas weekend:

We got my god daughter's Christmas clothes, Santa presents, presents from me and two of her Uncles.

We also got presents for my nephews and my friends little cousins.

My friend also bought me a lovely pair of Sketchers as my Christmas present.

I normally don't do anything Christmas related until after the Income Tax Deadline in mid November. Our son's birthday is in September so we try to suss up what he needs and if it will be a birthday present or Christmas present and there is 3 months between the dates.
Saw a really good Lego minecraft set in the Smyths sale last weekend so have put that aside for him to Christmas. Also TK Max just opened near us and, with himself beings a huge Formula 1 fan, my husband picked up a brilliant Ferrari tshirt, actually quite similar to one my husband bought in Italy a few year ago. I went into TK Max that evening and out of the corner of my eye spied a Mercedes AMG tshirt to commemorate the construction title win for 2014, might not make sense to most people but I know our son will absolutely love it!

The gingerbread family sounds adorable ha. Came close to posting one of my more blonde moments earlier when I read your reply! I was going to say I may go to amazon and check if they have a gingerbread family with two boys... then just realised I can obviously use the boy cutter to make two instead :P sometimes I wonder how I cope haha

Penny Dreadful · 13-10-2015 11:24am

I bought the Irish Farmers Calendar (x2) - one for a KK and the other for my brother in law who is a farmer.
I bought a leather tobacco pouch for my Dad - strictly for his birthday but as its on Christmas Eve I've decided it counts for Christmas time purchases.
I bought part of my husband's present on Thursday too - a two boat scuba dive in Dublin Bay.

Jamaican Me Crazy · 13-10-2015 12:03pm

I bought Advent calendars in Lidl over the weekend (great selection for kiddies and 99c only). I got 2 for the youngster and I told him he could start on the 5th of November and that would be 50 days to Christmas.

I wonder will be sick of it by December

That's mine, well we have the non slim version, it's so worth the money, has lasted really well. Hope to replace our smaller one next year with another one of these

Toto Wolfcastle · 14-10-2015 10:40am

Went to Ikea yesterday and bought a couple of packs of wine bags and some ribbon from the Christmas section. They have some really nice decorations this year. Well worth a trip if you need some.

What did you buy today?
