I’m struggling so bad this year so I feel you girl! I’m unemployed with a 10 month old and my partner only earns 1600 hard times 😭

@Courtnay honestly I find it so hard aswell cos Ik my family members ( extended … aunties cousins etc ) will all buy for me … but I honestly can’t afford it

My husband and I have just told everyone we’re not getting any gifts this year and to not get us anything 😂 sounds horrible but too much baby stuff to buy and saving to do for maternity leave so we have to put ourselves first! Don’t feel like you have to buy loads and loads of pressies for everyone when money is tight x

Heya! Really recommend vinted for selling any of yours & partners clothes that you don’t wear and also for buying baby clothes ! I do a lot of charity shopping for Xmas , you can also print photos out in boots for like 15p I think and get some frames ( basic £1.50 frame from asda) and that’s such a cute and personal present :) I got prints from the app called free prints and I think it was around £5 for 50ish including postage and found a scrapbook in the charity shop and made a scrapbook for Christmas one year! Do you bake? If so, bake cakes or cookies and package them pretty that would also be super cute :)
