The shopping part for Kayte is done, still something left to make. As for other presents, totally unstarted. I've got the kids' lists, they're easy but expensive (PS3 + games, mobile phone, digital camera, Longchamps bag or something along those lines, money, vouchers for clothes shops…). I miss the times when the most expensive thing on the list was the hit Barbie of the year.
I don't buy presents to many people, the rest of the shopping I'll most likely dot at the designers' Christmas fair in December. |

Longchamps bags?? For the kids?? Whoah.
I'd planned to buy my mum one, but she told me that if I did, she'd take it back to the shop because it's too expensive (considering my student-budget).
Now I have noooo idea what to get her... |

I didn't say she'll get it… It seems to be trendy to have a Longchamps shoulder bag as a school bag at the moment, and these kids are 13-16 years old…. The one she's after is about 120 euros. And knowing how quickly fashion changes and how the kids treat their stuff, it wouldn't last five minutes, so we'll be looking for something more sensible. |

My Christmas shopping is reduced to Moray's gift this year. I've been without an income since october, so considering I haven't got enough money to buy presents for all the people I'd like to, noone's getting presents from me this year. Except probably my niece.
I might change my mind though and figure out a way of getting stuff for everyone. |

yep, it seems to be fashionable amongst teenagers here, too. The 13 year old girl with a longchamp bag (which perfectly matches the colour of her shoes -> i.e. it is probably not her only longchamp bag) has become an almost-normal sight in some parts of Munich... when I was 13, I had a green rucksack and a red cross-shoulder bag and I was 100% happy ;D |

It kind of annoys me when a person decides to piggyback on an idea you've had for a gift towards a coworker...and then they want to go ahead and switch it up.
Umm...go buy your own present you lazy? |

I have nooo idea what to get for my mother! Help! *argh* I'm not "allowed" to buy her a Longchamps bag so I've got to find something that's cheaper and/or sth that she doesn't know the price of.
I'm relieved my mom decided to give her brother&his family (aunt, 2 cousins) an "Oxfam-Unwrapped" gift this year. this is perfect since they already own everything else AND I won't have to spend hours looking for presents for my cousins. Phew!
