You have inspired me to start preparing now and open a savings account for Christmas am still paying for the last one and I wont be doing that ever again. I am going to try and collect toys for the youngest two children from car boot sales and charity shops and stash them away for christmas. Last year I made luxury food hampers for my sisters and their families they loved them I just bought a few extra bits( all bargains) each week with the food shopping. I was thinking of baking hampers for the younger girls this year as they love to bake xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06418241447816577898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956590283954337779.post-81015954454373753792013-05-01T01:57:16.334-07:002013-05-01T01:57:16.334-07:00I've also got a drawer in which I put things I...I've also got a drawer in which I put things I've bought. If I see something at a good price which I know would be just right for someone for their birthday or for Christmas, then I buy it and put it away. I keep the things in a drawer so that when Christmas (or their birthday) comes round, I know where I've put it. I learned that bit the hard way.... : )Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16855403299773356566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956590283954337779.post-59951925316491746482013-05-01T01:40:57.896-07:002013-05-01T01:40:57.896-07:00Not mad at all - very sensible.

We have a couple of methods of saving for Christmas - one is a savings account that gets "fed" with £25 monthly as a regular transfer so we don't even have to think about it, and the other is our "virtual Sealed Pot" account, which we "sweep" odd pennies from our individual accounts over into - my "round number" obsession helps with that one!Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04175531371914205163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956590283954337779.post-14136161975134370332013-04-30T23:35:37.258-07:002013-04-30T23:35:37.258-07:00Hi Matt, I think it's one of those things - ev...Hi Matt, I think it's one of those things - everyone needs a way to stay organised!
