On the other side, the "normal" people, assume it will be very difficult for me to buy within my restricitons (given my huge family and the 30+ people I have to buy for) but it isn't at all.
Three years ago (last time I was in Ireland) I bought all my presents in charity shops (except for Ciarán's which I filled out with some items I found on adverts.ie ~because everyone else was just getting token presents whereas he was getting his main present from me), that year I found everything from crystal vases to DVD's (I don't want to give any of this years presents away) and didn't stuggle at all.
This year is even easier, because I have so many more options, if I don't find something that someone would like in a charity shop I can also get them a reasonably packaged consumable, or a voucher for an experience or something digital (I have only recieved one christmas list that is too narrow for my restricitions).
