Gift List Addiction

Kittylove, 28 June, 2015 at 22:59 Posted on Planning 0

So my John Lewis gift list opened today, and I appear to be addicted to checking to see if people have bought us stuff.

I logged in this morning to see if it was working, and to my surprise and delight, one of my friends had already bought us something. Then when I went back in at lunch to show OH how it worked someone else had bought us something. This created something of an unrealistic expectation. Think I've checked it at least twice since then, nothing new has been bought.

Am I the only one to do this, or has everyone else found themselves checking their list frequently. Part of me doesn't want to know and then it can be a surprise after the wedding but I'm just not that patient.

    I was like this as well! OH didn't want to know until after the wedding, so I had to keep my obsessive checking from him. What I found was there was a burst of purchasing just after the list opened, mostly from close family and friends, and then it went very quiet until about a week before the wedding, when everyone else suddenly remembered they needed to sort it out and piled in.
