Christmas presents - whad'ya buyin'?

I'm sure there have been threads like this, but it's getting close to Christmas and I realise I've done literally no Christmas shopping.

I thought this could be a thread where people show what they're buying for their mum/ dad/ brother/ sister/ best mate/ girlfriend etc. Just mention the gift, the price, where you got it (if it's difficult to find), and any other relevant details.

I hate buying people crap presents, so I need ideas! Thanks.

Nothing, I don't have to until I get a job. Woo.

Just got my sister a camera becuase she's always complaining that she needs one. About £70 from Currys, but it had a saving of £96 or something, so score!

Parent -

That's it. :shifty:

I've not actually started shopping yet and I have no money. :shifty:

Going to have to borrow some off my parents. How ironic.

Mum: very exspensive (from my point of view) watch
Everyone else: nothing yet

I need to seriously get a move on...

Should you get a Christmas present for your girlfriend if you've only been with her a week and a day? I've never started seeing someone so close to a holiday before, so I'm not sure on the rules. She has mentioned getting me something as well..

So she's actually your girlfriend now?

I've got my little sister the Sugababes album (£8 - HMV), my older sister The Mighty Boosh DVD (£7.something - Amazon), my mum a nice make-up mirror (£9.87 - TK Maxx) and my dad, i'll get him a nice jumper and shirt from Primark.

Easy peasy!

Yeah but don't go mad, only something small.

yes. Giving presents makes you a nice person.

So far I have bought a big box of lego, Ape Escape 3, Wario Ware, WWF rollerblades (!), various boxes of sweets and stocking fillers, a wildlife reference book and I'm currently burning the entire Beatles back catalogue onto CD (but I've lost my magic cd-writing-on pen, making it potentially the most confusing (not to mention cheapest) present anyone will ever get).

My brother and his GF are having a boy come February, so they're getting assorted baby stuff.
My other brother is getting a fancy t-shirt, and maybe something else, not sure yet.

Haven't bought anything for my parents yet, but they'll get some cups and other stuff for the house.

I have only done some of my crimbo shopping thus far, but I don't have much to get.

Mum
2 Jumpers (she chose them!) and a box of choccys!

Sister
Scrubs series 6 and a wierd shampoo box set?
