How to Avoid Holiday Shopping the Last Minute

November 25, 2009 by mm_ehow Leave a Comment

Some people find the thrill shopping for holiday gifts at the last minute. But there are others that run around with their heads cut off like a chicken trying to get to one of the few last gifts that is in the store before midnight. Save the stress and cramped time by following these simple steps.

Step 1

Shop for Christmas right after Thanksgiving. The day after the holiday is called “Black Friday’ when shoppers get up as early as 3am (or earlier than that) to wait in line at many stores to open up at five in the morning. Many items– TVs, DVDs, toys and many others are only sale from fifty to seventy percent off.

Step 2

Make a plan in your mind that you will shop early as you can for Christmas and stick to it. There will be times when you don’t have much money during the holiday season, but make sure to save up some cash all year around for Christmas

Step 3

Shopping all year round. Not many people do this but the ones that does it save not only a lot of time and avoid the crowd but money for themselves. Buy a couple of gifts every month or two and by the month of December, you will finish all of your Christmas shopping and will chuckle at those that is busting through the door trying to get theirs two days before the holiday.
