Definately! I do that. If I see something that someone would really like in July, i'll buy it as a Christmas present. I found a lovely watch in Next in October and bought it as a present for my fiance!

I definitely think it's a good idea, and I've already started. I refuse to charge Christmas presents and spread out buying them throughout the year so I don't have to rush around at the last minute fighting the crowds, and come up with all the money at once.

My friend always starts, she has a list on the computer buys a present marks what she has brought by the name of the person! if I had the money probably would, but with a 8 & 13 yr old who change minds every day could be a waste of money!

Already done it. I cleared out under the stairs & bought a £150 tree with decs & lights for £10, also got a mixture of 30 smelly & bathroom gift packs that were £15 each down to £2 each good till 2010. at least 400 metres of good quality paper for £5.

that means so far i have spent £75 for next christmas, but ive actually saved over £550.

im still looking.
im going to B&Q in a mo as they have cards & lights n stuff really really cheap

I’d highly recommend it. I did advance shopping for the xmas just gone as i was heavily pregnant.
Thing to remember are:
* check the dates on all food and drink gifts (even alcohol has a best-by date!)
* remember that some children are faddy- will they still want a makka pakka in 12months?

write a list of people you will have to buy for, if you buy perfume or other scented sets keep them in a dark place and DON’T FORGET you’ve bought them, keep a note of it or you’ll lose track!

Then save about £3 a week on an asda saving card and by december you have £150 toward your food and drink bill.

Leaves you more money to go out and pay £4 for a bottle of WKD lol!
Hope this helps x x x

I shop the end of year sales for next year’s gifts. There’s no shame in saving money, especially if you’re buying those "timeless" sorts of gifts. Works for birthday gifts I’ll need for the coming year also, though I hesitate buying perfumes which can go stale or get too strong if they’re not used in a couple months. Clothes sizes might be a problem too, if you’re buying for growing kids.

Actually there would be more discounts in sales for the Christmas season this year. And who knows, maybe you could get greater discounts when you buy afterwards then when you buy now. I mean where would you store the gifts? what if that particular item would be hated by your friend?

I will be buying presents throughout the year to help me spread the cost & keep cost to a minimum. I’m a single parent, I do work but even so, I have to watch the pennies. For Christmas 07 I left it to the last minute & it was difficult paying for everything & I hated that manic rush around the shops.
For this year I have put a big box on the top shelf of my wardrobe. I’m going to buy small presents throughout the year & chuck them in there. It’s so easy to pick up bargains throughout the year. My family will all recieve a large gift bag full of small individually wrapped pressies. I’ve done it before & everyone seems to love it.
I’ve also agreed to host Christmas for next year (I must have been drunk when I agreed to that!) so in order to budget for that I have had transferred my Tesco Clubcard account to their Christmas club, so I’ll receive all my vouchers in November rather than throughout the year. You can top it up with cash every week too so that’s that sorted, lol. I’m also not going to spend my Boots points so I can use those for any last minute pressies.

I think you should wait till Christmas comes closer, trends may change and your likes and dislikes may also. If you are buying for others then they may buy at sales and you cant return an item if its bought at a sale. Just wait as new things will come out and older things will go out of style. Theres no shame however in shouting yourself a late Christmas gift if you see something you like!
