D - Almost done it all.....even though the retail sector is down on like-for-like sales at the beginning of the buying season and analysts recommend holding out until desperate retailers slash prices to shift their Chrimbo stock - you still have to shop in heaving, sweaty crowds on the brink of violence because they don't know what the fuck to buy for people (Mum is sorted though, it's another basket of smellies from Boots. Dad gets the latest Bernard Cornwell and you got your brother an annual like Viz, or Private Eye, which will sit unread forever).....and some quite nice pressies too, although I have to buy C's presents on my own which means the experience won't be quite so organised, easy or stress-free.
My Mum is getting a lava lamp (God knows what use she'll have for it but hey ho), Dad gets a sharpening tool for garden scissors/shears, Brother is getting some kind of (As yet unspecified) Lego-y thing to build and fob off on the kids, Sister-in-Law is getting some kind of (As yet unspecified) cat related thing, while the two nephews are getting a life-like plastic drill and a Lego police car for one and a finger puppet thing and block basher for the younger one.
