    Having to think up things to buy. My mind always goes blank. If people have lists then fine but it's always the most difficult people to buy for who never tell me what they want (maybe even they don't know!)

    Definitely trying to think of what to buy people. I usually pick up a handful of stuff and then they go in the discard pile because they are unimaginative/boring also the amount of money you spend too can be a right pain. Although I think if I had thousands of pounds I'd have more of an idea of what to buy people Smiley smile

    I hate it when the shops are heaving - I just don't do crowds. I also don't particularly like wrapping presents mainly because I'm rubbish at it.

    Thinking of ideas, crowds of people in shops and shops being too hot and having there heating on when everyone is dressed for outside - my biggest bug bear and drives me batty!

    Crowds of people can be avoided by doing all shopping online. It is the only way I save myself from going demented each year!

    I agree with the thinking what to buy. I hate it.

    I didn;t say what mine was did I? ?

    I hate trying to think of what to get people and agree that those who don't give ideas of what they want are usually the hardest to buy for. I'm never short of a list or 2 for what people can get me!

    It is a lot of money but I just set a budget and stick to it, which in turn makes it harder to find things!

    For PILs we tend to all 'go in' together for a joint present as it's easier and we can get something decent

    My grandparents are the worst to buy for. They are lovely and I want to get them something fab but they don;t need anything ?

    I hate the delivering of presents and trying to hide them from the 5 year old pink thing
