I buy throughout the year whenever I see something I know they will like. By Christmas, I forget what I've bought and wrapped.

This year, I asked my girlfriend if she will want something and tell her I'll hold onto it until Christmas. Buy it with her, and then by the time she gets it, she's forgotten. I did that with a bracelet that said "Mom" on it during the summer, that I would put her daughters name as the from so that she gets something from her daughter. I always try to buy something to be "from" her daughter. It is really nice for her daughter too, to have that experience "giving" something on Christmas too.

I sat with her daughter the other night making bracelets for her to give out at our family Christmas party and the first one we made was for her to give to her biological Dad when she goes with him in a few days.

How do you avoid accidentally buying the same thing twice?

It hasn't happened. I only wrap around the beginning of December. So, I just wouldn't wrap em both. But I forget what they are in like a few days.
