So thats the big question in contrast to the other thread, what have you bought other people for christmas?(or are going to buy)
I've so far got Sophie
An ipod, since she likes mine
A dress she said she liked in new look
Two books
A super cool dressing gown
And I'l see if I can pick up some other stuff in the next week for her. For a buddy of mine who goes to pokemon league, who is always fairly sound to me, I've bought him a card he really really wants, and a tin(thats one rare card, and 4 random booster packs)
And I'm considering getting something for this girl at college, a concert ticket she wants.
My brother's and I are clubbing together and buying her a bike. It is a big surprise (she really wants one). There was a massive logistical operation to get it in the shed the other day. I had to make up a reason to go to Morrisons.
Fat Face gilet.
Dark chocolate reindeer.
Puncture repair kit (joke present before we give her the bike!).
Dad:
Cover for his Kindle Fire.
LEGO train set.
Walnut Whips.
Brother Number 2:
Fat Face T Shirt.
Ferror Roche (how do you spell that?).
Brother Number 3:
Blackadder book.
Cadbury's dinosaur biscuits.
Sister-in-law:
Fat Face socks.
Percy Pig Mug.
And I'm crocheting her a scarf.
Niece (2):
DUPLO.
T Shirt.
Jumper from Next - a pear wearing ear muffs!
Kinder Egg (I am constantly buying those!).
Niece (9 months):
Outfit - dungarees.
I think that is everything. I can't really remember now, I started ages ago.
Mum: Some perfume she wanted
Stepdad: Some London Pride pint glasses (Stolen from a pub)
Sister 1: a shot glass in the shape of a skull, a necklace with a gas mask pendant.
her bf: Shot glass as above, baconnaise.
Sister 2: This thing you put in the bath that makes all different lights, fancy bath things from Lush (shes preggers and needs to chillax)
Sister 2s oldest son: Ben 10 hoody
Sister 2s youngest son: this bus thing with lights and sounds and some other fancy bullshit.
Nan: digital photo frame key ring.
Stuarts mum: Art easel, Oil paints.
Stuarts dad: Whisky decanter, whisky.
Stuarts brother: Hip flask (he works as a cowboy thing on a ranch in australia). Rancid T-shirt
Stuarts sister: Kindle fire cover, gloves that can be used on touch screens.
Boyfriend - booked us 2 nights away in Jan, and I'm going to get him a mouse for his new laptop (he keeps borrowing the PC one from his house) a USB with music & tv shows on it, sweets etc.
Mam - it's her 60th Bday on the 21st so giving her money towards going to Rome so have to find something little for Christmas day
Dad - he keeps talking about some CDs on an ad on TV so I'll try find those for him
Then for one of my sisters I usually take her children somehwere over the holidays, I got points for topping up my phone so I can get free bowling passes so that's their present.
Boyfriends sister - we got her some lipstick she wanted so I was thinking of picking up a little mirror or something too.
Still have 2 sisters, 3 nieces, a grandniece & grand nephew & my boyfriends parents to think about! I am a poor student, dunno how I am affording this!
My dad - a Sherlock Holmes print saying 'Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Mysterious Disappearing Biscuits', some Jaguar aftershave and a tie with owls on.
My brother - A Coca Cola holidays are coming t-shirt, a scarf and the Dara O'Briain DVD.
My best friend - Some Christmas socks and a cushion she wanted
Her son - A book
My other best friend - A hat, some gloves and a ceramic heart
I have got the support staff and the people I live with a tube of christmas m&ms. I have also got someones baby something I hope his parents will love and as for my secret santa person, I'm thinking a bookshop voucher.
I haven't bought anything for anyone. We decided not to do presents for anyone but the kids this year. It was decided ages ago and now people are going back on their word and buying presents for everyone. I can't though; I'm skint. I feel bad about it but there's nothing I can do. I will buy for the kids and for my parents and brother but that's all I can afford.
[REPONDEZ S'IL VOUS PLAID - Honk if you're Scottish!]
I got my friend a Charlie Bear called Dexter (because her dog is called Dexter and she also collects Charlie bears) and a Next gift card (because she loves Next)
I got my dad a watch and some aftershave
I got my brother an Xbox game
I got my mum a new handbag
I got my mum's friend a year planner (she wanted one of those, she hinted at my mum!)
That's all I buy for. I used to buy all my first cousins and their kids, but it got a bit hectic with them having so many kids (being on benefits I cant afford to buy for them all!), it got a bit ridiculous. Also with the exception of one cousin, I got crappy presents (and one earns £40 grand a year so it's not like they cant afford it), so instead I will contribute towards the presents that my parents buy.
I still have to buy for my Auntie and Uncle though.

Sadly I'm swamped with bills so I'm not doing a whole lot of gift buying this year, but I have done a few.
Mom and Dad:
Baby clothes/toy for their new addition to the family coming March.
Brothers:
This hasn't been bought yet but they mostly wanted some self care items (shampoo, cologne, and that sort of thing). Also, I'm cooking a big meal for them!
Boyfriend:
I got him a special edition evangelion cd. He has been wanting this for some time so he'll be super excited when he opens up. Flew it in from japan!
Pets:
Some toys and treats for them!
Clients:
I work with kids so I got a few of my clients little gifts. One is a remote control car, one was a angry birds little toy thing he had been eying, one is a gift card for itunes, and things like that.
Interesting spammer. As you mention National Autistic Society (NAS) I presume you are going to buy them a present?
