Paul (Hampshire), Don't worry it will probably get left till December, work's a bit boring at the moment, needing a distraction, lol. Mind you I do genuinely need ideas when the time comes.. Andy |

Hi Mandy, hope you are ok!! A bit of both really, it depends on what everyone wants... it's easier online but I do pick things up if I'm out shopping. Mostly, to answer the question, I do it online... anything from catalogues to searching for websites. Got my husband a singing hamster last year from gemmy.com its sings "Rawhide" and swirls a leather whip around. Of all things I bought him, expensive or not, he loved this the most. You should have seen him he was like a child with a new toy! G :-) x |

Mostly online - I collect all the free catalogues from the major stores, spend a very pleasant few evenings browsing through, then shop online. M&S, Argos, Amazon, Boots (they have some great offers) etc. But I still use a few days at half term to have a nice relaxed browse round the shops and pick up small gifts. Mandy :) |

Bit of both. I generally come up with a few ideas and get those online, but for those I['m not sure of, I do the traditional wandering round the shops |

Which do you do these days; do you still like to look around the shops for Christmas present ideas or do you get all your ideas online? If online, are there any good websites for Christmas present ideas? Andy |
