1st time Christmas shopping & people are so rude!

I've never really been Christmas shopping before but I went for the first time last night. We wanted to let our toddler pick out an early Christmas gift for herself. I had SEVERAL adults (without children accompanying them) either try and shove their way through me with my toddler or give us death stares when I didn...

Do you find it annoying when people purposely go OTT with presents for your kids?

So my friend has 2 kids, (I have 1) we buy for each others at Xmas but usually spend around £20ish and around £10 on eachother, so only small gifts. I was talking to my friend about it and we agreed the same this year, because my daughter is getting a STUPID amount of gifts! Tell me why my friend dropped off 3 massi...

Is it against policy/rules to send a Christmas card to your therapist??

My MIL told me that’s way too friendly to do and I shouldn’t have sent a card. I mean she plays a huge part in mine and my daughter’s life. It’s not like I got her a gift?

My husband bought me 0 christmas gifts

Originally my husband and I agreed no christmas gifts for eachother this year just the kids since money is tight, I kind of prompted that idea knowing I'd probably get nothing anyway, but then we changed it to stockings and one gift for eachother and now it's just kinda whatever we want. I got him two gifts was plan...

Is it okay to get families with multiple kids a group toy?

I picked an appropriate sized Picasso tile set for the amount of kids but is this insensitive? Should I find separate gifts for them? I have a small budget at a lot of families to buy for. ($50 per family 5 families)

What kind of person purposely kicks Christmas presents?

Just need to vent because I feel alone and I don’t like complaint about my partner to my family or friends. My boyfriend accidentally kicked a present under the tree. All I said was careful, you kicked a present. Then he starts to kick it more, and then one really hard kick to it made me yell “stop” and he didn’t li...

What do you think of this idea??

Instead of buying stuff to put in our son's (he's 2) stocking we decided to go through his toys he hasn't played with in a while and wrap up what's still age appropriate and that we think he'd enjoy and put those in his stocking so he has more to unwrap on Christmas without having to buy stuff he m.y or may not end ...

my fiancés mom went & bought a different play kitchen rather than the one on Christmas list…should I be annoyed or no? I picked that one specially because it was wooden, small for our space, and had some basic lights on the oven…

Not sure what she got but it’s just annoying.

SAHM’s without a job who is getting your husband a Christmas present.. are you using your “joint account” aka his money to get him a present orrrr? 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

Those “what’s his is mine” stay at home mums, what’s your take on this? 👀 I used money that was gifted to me for my birthday/Christmas that has been accumulated over the years by family to get my husband a his birthday presents and Christmas presents. Doesn’t seem fair to use family money for personal gifts imo…

Husband hasn’t got me a present from my son

Husband hasn’t bought me a present yet, hasn’t bought me anything from my son which is what matters the most to me, it’s too late for online shopping, I’m going to get some sort of last minute ‘that’ll do’ present out of Tesco, or I’ll be waking up on Christmas with nothing. It just annoys me that he never thinks. N...

Christmas/Santa

I'm just wondering how people will or already do tell their kids about presents at Christmas. Are all presents from Santa or just some? I have an older son already and will do the same for my youngest. We tell him that some presents are from Santa and some are from us. I don't want Santa to take all the credit for...

Thoughts on buying another engagement ring? I’ll pay for it myself

Long Story short the one I have is white gold and I now only wear yellow gold so am not wearing it. What if I bought another one in yellow gold? I miss seeing a diamond on my hand but I appreciate that it’s not really an engagement ring if it’s bought after the engagement
