Is it best to buy gifts early to get them out of the way and avoid the Christmas rush? Or is it best to leave it until the last minute and snap up the last minute deals? Personally I wish I could avoid the whole thing and buy the gifts I have to in the January sales. But I can't I set out meaning to get it all out of the way but somehow end up leaving it all until the last minute. Does anyone have a stress free strategy for me? It would be greatly appreciated.
Personally, I start shopping for Christmas gifts as early as September. But of course not for all on my list. Little by little I buy gifts for friends/relatives If I happen to be in the mall or someplace where I see something cute to buy. But no matter how I try to buy gifts early, I will always (every year) have something important to buy the last minute. My advice, if you don't want to be a part of the holiday Christmas shopping rush - start buying gifts now.
