Starting Christmas Shopping
Ask a Question
so what time of year do you start buying stuff for christmas? i usually start around June as i have a big family and 5 kids of my own
I usually start in early November, although If I see something that would be a really good gift for someone I'll buy it no matter what time of year.
I'm really behind this year. I've only bought my parents. We know what we are getting my parents in law but no idea what we are getting our son. He already has so many toys and clothes already!
Start on Boxing Day for the best deals! Christmas themed stuff goes on sale from around then.
I start in november properly but have bought a few things earlier this year due to seeing good deals on here. When I was younger and living in a city, I'd do all of it the day before Christmas Eve as the sales had started and it was always a lovely atmosphere in town and reasonably quiet too.
I usually browse around the sales after Christmas and start squirreling things away, also pick up bits throughout the year when I see a offer. Makes it so easy then when it comes to Christmas, I also do this in advance with Birthday presents.
