Have you started shopping for Christmas presents?

Do you do the secret Santa?

[Cynicaldreamer]

Yeah... for myself, lol.

I managed to catch some Black Friday deals and got myself a new fitness smartwatch. But as for shopping for everyone else? No. I will starting the first of December: thankfully I don't have many people to shop for so it makes it easy. The problem is shopping for said people because they're all picky as crap.

As for secret Santa? We don't do that, thank goodness: as I said, most of the people I shop for are picky so it wouldn't end well. Secret santa is only fun if you get someone easy to shop for, or you know exactly what they want for Christmas.

I’ve finished mine 🤣 first year with a baby and for the first time ever I wanted to be organised. I want to be able to chill during Christmas this year without last minute panicking. Just relax, eat Christmas food and in the evenings watch Christmas horror movies (and die hard lol)

Don’t do presents. It’s excessive consumerism. Just get your own shit. Why enjoy having others guess what you want which is usually wrong?

[Asker]

You don't buy gifts for your parents?

[OddBeMe]

Fck no. Adults buy shit for themselves. What can I buy that they can’t?

[Asker]

Your parents didn't hug you as a child?

[Asker]

You don't buy your wife a gift?

[OddBeMe]

They over hugged, which turned off a lot of my emotions. I get present giving, in a practical sense. Our serotonin levels love shopping, and having loved ones open our gifts to give us fake praise.

But it’s stupid, right? If you’re not a kid, or a poor person, you buy what you want. Same as my wife. I don’t her shit and she doesn’t buy me shit. We kinda figured it out at the same time, actually.

[OddBeMe]

*give her shit

[Asker]

But my family actually likes the presents I give them. Also I would be happy if my boyfriend choose something for me. I would like to see what he thinks I like. And I'm sure I'll treasure it forever knowing that he put a lot of thought into it.

[Asker]

Do you not celebrate your birthday or your wife's birthday?

[Truccko]

We do secret Santa at my work this year, so yeah, started browsing for gift ideas already :D

[Asker]

If you get a female do you just get her a gift card? 😂

[Asker]

I think doing the Secret Santa saves more money since you only need to buy for one person.

[Truccko]

Yep, and everybody gets a gift :D

I am in the process of shopping for my Christmas presents now. I have bought some for my family, but I have more to get. I hope to be done soon and then I can get them all wrapped up in time for Christmas. I have done the secret Santa before in previous jobs, but not this year in my current employment.

I'm about 85% done with Christmas shopping. I do a secret Santa with my sisters and their spouses. We do a white elephant with my in-laws.
