Meet Amanda: The Mum Who’s Come Back to Chrisco for Nearly 10 Years Straight

Amanda Gordon’s house is the kind of place where things are rarely quiet - and that’s exactly how she likes it. She’s a mum to three boys, with her third arriving earlier this year, and life is a constant mix of noise, nappies, snacks, school runs, and the kind of chaos only a family with little ones can understand. But for Amanda, the best part is watching how close her boys are - especially the way they’ve taken to their new baby brother. And when Christmas rolls around, Amanda doesn’t leave it to chance.

Nearly a Decade of Coming Back (For a Reason)

For nearly ten years, Amanda has made the same decision, year after year — she comes back to Chrisco. She joined around 2015 or 2016, and since then, it’s become part of her routine, like a quiet little promise to herself that Christmas won’t turn into a last-minute scramble. It’s not a one-off purchase for her. It’s a system she trusts. A plan she knows works. And after almost a decade of returning, it’s clear it delivers exactly what she needs.

Why Layby-Style Payments Make Life Easier

For Amanda, Chrisco is about financial breathing room. With three children, the idea of buying everything at once in the shops just isn’t realistic - not without it hurting. She knows that doing Christmas in one big hit can leave families stretched thin, stressed out, and feeling like they’re constantly playing catch-up. That’s why layby-style payments matter so much. Instead of facing the pressure of December spending, Amanda spreads the cost over time, which helps her stay in control and avoid that awful end-of-year panic. She says it stops her from spending all her money at the last minute and ending up broke - and when you’ve got kids depending on you, that kind of relief is priceless.

Skipping the Last Minute Shop Chaos

It also takes the stress out of shopping itself. Anyone who’s tried navigating busy stores with multiple kids will know it can feel like a mission impossible. For Amanda, not having to do the last-minute dash - especially with three boys in tow - is a massive part of why she sticks with Chrisco.

The Best Bit: The Excitement Never Wears Off

Amanda genuinely loves Chrisco’s products and looks forward to seeing what’s new in the catalogues each year. It’s not just practical - it feels fun. Like she gets to plan ahead, pick what suits her family, and know it’s all sorted. When her order arrives, she gets that same buzz every time. “It’s like Christmas for me,” she says. And when she’s asked what she’s most excited to receive this year, she doesn’t even single out one thing - because to her, it’s the whole experience. The delivery. The build-up. The feeling of “we’re sorted.” The moment she realises she’s done it again.
