Boy! imagine is April aready, next thing you know is August and you have to buy school books and then Christmas.

boy, i does be buying whole year and still find myself short for christmas.  but then i discover that that is because it have birthdays, mothers day, fathers day and sundry other 'days' that people does expect presents from you for.

I tell everybody that i only buying gifts for kids under 12...of course that still leaves about 10 people to buy things for. and meh grandfather..he's 85 so he does get he presents. lol

Answer 5

I did my shopping early last year - and it helped tremendously, of course its a trini thing to be caught in the mad rush of christmas - but you don't buy great gifts - you buy what yuh get!

Last year I waited for sales and so on and bought a few gifts every month end - the trick though is to buy items that are useful and appropiate regardless of whats in or whats out, so I bought books, educational toys, basic men shirts or tees and basic ladies camisoles and tops, stationary, etc
