Where have all the presents gone?

Having recently lost Nana, I have found I've lost my focus as far as Christmas is concerned. So I was left with three key presents to buy in the first week of December.

Not really a big problem. Most of the other gifts were bought already, and many wrapped as well.

WRONG!!

It seems like many more people have resorted to doing their Christmas shopping online - and early. I had very clear ideas of what I wanted, and I thought I knew where I was going to find these mystery items - but all but one were out of stock, or unavailable. And the one I did find did not have the suitable accessories. So I have spent hours trawling through the WWW searching for these items (really can't divulge what they are you understand!!!!) And with very little success.

What I've ended doing is spending a lot more for one, abandoning another for a different gift, and finally coming up with the right accessory for the only one I could find.

Be warned, popular items are out of stock already. This is not the year for stumbling across the right presents at the last minute.
