AAAGGGHHHHH!! Christmas shopping!!
Ok, I'm a poor student who has to buy Christmas presents for:
2 parents,
3 Best friends,
1 Boyfriend (+ the birthday present I forgot to get him),
2 Flat mates,
and
6 little bitty presents for other friends
I'm getting £20 a week to live off and so far have £30 saved!! How am I going to manage all those pressies??
Any one got any budgeting advice or a place where I can get cheapish yet thoughtful christmas presents??
Also, what do you buy a guy who's a Role Playing obsessive, Buffy Freak, Surreal type person who happens to be your significant other?? I really wanna get something great that he'll remember!!

Don't even talk to me about christmas shopping, I have no idea what to get anyone, and little to get it with. Can't buy Grahams off amazon coz it sends you an email telling you when it's been dispatched, which he picked up last time!!
I just hope I can get my pressies before xmas eve, coz thats a crap time to go shopping!

I'm agreeing the DJ Billy. It really is worth having a look on EBay as you can always find something nice on there, and more often than not it is cheaper than it would be in the shops.
Good luck with your pressie buying ! I'm really not looking forward to it !

Alternatively, try and discover some previously unknown creative skills. Make things. Who's your boyfriends favourite Buffy Character? Get a load of photos and make a montage, and stick stuff round the edge to frame it. It may sound naff, but an ex of mine once bought a sowing kit and made me a winnie the pooh picture. I think it's the only present she gave me that I still got.
Presents don't have to be that new CD they really want. Sometimes it's nicer to get something that someone has put time and effort into, rather than an impersonal gift that they may want, but could have been from anyone.
Just a thought.
