@ilike0225 they are similar, but “get around to” implies that this is something you’ve been planning on doing and even have talked about doing, but haven’t had the time to do it promptly

It is mostly the same.
"Get around to" = did you have time to buy it? were you able to buy it?
"Did you get around to buying a gift?"
"No, I had to work late. I am sorry."
"I know you have been busy this week. Did you get around to buying a gift?"
"I did buy a gift! I was able to go shopping during lunch."
"Did you get around to buying a gift? If not, I can get one."
"Thank you so much, I am so busy with work today."
