It really depends on how busy the season is if I get my Christmas shopping finished early or not. I definitely don't wait until the last week to shop. I prefer to have a fun shopping experience.
well I use to start the first part of dec,and do the rest with my christmass bonus but I am disabled now and don't do christmass gift giving for frankly I don't have the money.
I actually like to make many of the gifts that I give for the holidays. I usually purchase a few items during the year and I love all the Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals.
I shop all year as I find great deals. It's the only way I can afford it and get it all done. I am a big procrastinator when it comes to wrapping though. I usually have a marathon session Christmas Eve.
I'm a shopper. I have a set of shelves in the back of my closet where I put gifts. When I find something that I think will be perfect for someone, I buy it, put a stickynote on it with their name & put it on the shelves. Whenever there is a birthday, special occasion, or the Holidays, I am prepared with a gift. I have twelve grandkids, so I always have to have something!
I start thinking about Christmas gifts sometime in October. But I typically don't actually get the shopping done until the second week of December (after my birthday, LOL).
I'm generally an early shopper, however, with the horrible year that we've had (hospitalizations, surgeries, Illnesses, not working, etc) I have not been able to afford to purchase anything yet! I've been having panic attacks for a couple of months now, fretting over Christmas and how can I make it a Terrific one for all of the kids! I have to purchase for at least, my daughter & grandkids (who live on Fort Campbell, KY) kids are 4 and 1 1/2! Plus the 2 here at home; ages 5 and 9! I'm totally freaking out because, by now, I'm usually almost done! I haven't even been able to get started yet because of the money situation here at home! Thanks, Michele
I do not have a lot of shopping to do during the holidays but what I do, I do methodically, over a couple of months watching out for sales on the items I want.
I sometimes pick up a thing here and there, but most of mine is last minute. I keep saying, next year I am going to start early...never seems to happen. :)
I usually start Christmas thinking (the pre-shopping) in September or so. I usually keep an eye out for deals on those items in October/November and finally rush out in December to pick up everything last minute!
I usually start my holiday shopping right after halloween, but it's really hard not to get overly excited and start way early. I always end up spending more than expected on gifts because I start early though!
I usually don't start shopping until after Thanksgiving and wind up being out on Christmas Eve making last minute purchases. I procrastinate a little too much.
When I did a lot of Christmas gift giving I would shop all through the year. Now I mostly shop in December for stocking candy and small gifts. Would never go out on Black Friday because I don't really like shopping and to me that day is insane!! LOL!
I start and finish my shopping the first 2 weeks of December. I am a planner and know exactly what I'm getting for everyone before I start shopping. The past few years I have done most of my shopping on-line and have only went to the store for a few things.
I am a planner and have already started but to be honest I am guilty of shopping for more or last minute stuff on December 24th! That whole last week before christmas I am constantly running out to pick up more stuff that I forgot or think i may need.
I try to plan ahead, honestly I do! But we have 5 children, 2 of their spouses and 9 grandchildren. So usually I am still running around at the last minute.
I have to shop on a budget,time and sales, I prefer not to shop at the last minute but money emergencies keep jumping up every time I think I have funds to spare a stove break down,car trouble,doctor bills,the necessities of life take the front seat but I still have the Christmas spirit and I do the best that I can.
I usually start at the beginning of the month of November, but this year I will be starting when I get home from work (traveling nurse) & yes I do some last minute shopping!
I usually start my holiday shopping at the first of December. I try not to put it off to the last minute, but there are always a few gifts that end up being bought a day or 2 before Christmas. I do a good deal of online buying as well.
I shop year-round but I'm not as much of a planner as I probably should be. I buy stuff when something jumps out at me as being perfect for someone -- especially if I can get a good deal on it. But then when it gets to be about December I realize that I still need to buy presents for about half the people on my list and and go into shopping panic mode.
I am definitely not an early shopper. I don't know how some ppl start planning in July. lol I usually start off strong in December and get the bulk of it done. then every year I'm always struggling to find those last few gifts usually a couple days before Christmas.
It changes every year as to when I start but I always do it little by little. When I start depends on how busy I am, when I'm in the mood to do it, etc. Usually I'm buying the last gift days before Christmas so I guess that qualifies me as somewhat lasy minute!
I'm a big planner: I make lists for everyone who we buy gifts for; I make lists of all of the stores' offerings; I read blogs predicting the timing for the best prices. I wait quite a while to actually start purchasing, though.
I start my holiday shopping after Thanksgiving. I don't like to start earlier because i like to have a good idea of what I want to purchase. Shopping too early has resulted in gifts that were either already purchased, or minds changed. Of course, like many others I am scurrying at the last minute.
I've never been a holiday shopper so I do not have a set time. I purchase gifts for people whenever I see something they like regardless of the time of year.
I like to be prepared for my Christmas shopping. I start in late July/early August when Target has the annual toy clearance. Then I pick things up as I see great deals. I finish my shopping up on Black Friday
I start in March or April so that I am not stressed out during the holiday season. As of right now I am 75% finished , just a couple of big gifts to buy that I am waiting to go on sale.
I am normally a last minute person,,we try to see what money we will have after saving to as close to Christmas as possible because that extra $10 from each paycheck we can manage to save helps get another gift
For many years I started shopping right after Christmas, shopped Christmas in July sales and even the (now - for me) dreaded Black Friday sales. Since we're now retired and the (10) grandchildren are pretty much grown-up I shop less. Because I'm shopping less I tend to put if off until December!
I'm a shop year round kind of person.I love the thrift stores.also the stores have great markdowns after each holiday,to eliminate stock.I'm a bargainaholic.also that leaves me with more money to buy other things not on sale.
I typically pick up things throughout the year when I'm out and about and then (right about now but I haven't done it yet) I pull everything out that I've gotten to see what I have for who and what I still need to get. On Black Friday, I try to crank out all of the shopping and get most of everything else I need which leaves December for me to pick up odds and ends and eliminates some of the hassles of shopping.
Honestly I usually start shopping for the children in October. But this year due to family problems I will not be able to do the normal shopping. It is a real bummer but everything happens for a reason. Just not sure why this happened. :D
I start my shopping early. I start for the next year right after the holidays are over. I also shop continuously throughout the year, especially end of season merchandise. This way, I am not scrambling at the last minute.
It seems that every year I try to start early, and end up scrambling at the last minute. This year, I started a little early, and am hoping to finish early.
I usually start shopping at the beginning of November. I would shop all year long, but I would end of giving the gift to the person before hand because I wouldn't be able to wait.
I start looking in November for gifts. Just browsing and such, sometimes picking up small things. December is when I usually end up buying the bigger gifts, even though it should be earlier.
I plan holiday shopping early in the year so by the time the holidays roll around I am already complete. I like to shop earlier in the year as I see things on sale that I know friends and family will love.
I start in July or August.. it helps to spread the bills out a bit and avoids the crazy rush. I also have extended family who live in South america so everything has to be in the mail before thanks giving. I rarely finish before Christmas eve!
When my kids were younger I was a huge planner but now I tend to last minute everything. Just seems to lose the magic of snowflakes and wonderment when the kids lose the sparkle of Santa. vmkids3 at msn dot com
While I do try to plan my Christmas shopping, I don't usually start until sometime after Thanksgiving. If possible though, I do avoid last-minute shopping.
I use to shop early but this year it is going to be a last minute shopping ordeal for me but i am mostly shopping for my grandson so it shouldnt be to bad
I usually don't start until after my husbands birthday 12/8, however, this year, since we are having to travel for Christmas week, I have already started a little bit..as I can, while also planning his birthday.
I start shopping the first week of December and I do it online to avoid the crowd,and it saves me time because the stores doesn't always carry what im looking for
Usually we'll start on black Friday, and go from there. Sometimes I'll buy things last minute too. I'm a terrible giver for the fact that I will buy someone something, and be so excited to give it to them, that I usually will give it to them before Christmas. My husband knows this and will get it out of me too lol.
I kind of shop all year long. When I see something I think will be good for the holidays, I buy it. I usually start my serious shopping around October.
I start holiday shopping as early as August and September. I am definitely a plan ahead kind of person because I have very low funds and three kids plus tons of nieces and nephews that I try and help buy for.
I start Christmas shopping right after Christmas, I shop sales when I can and I enter contests to get Christmas gifts. I try to spend the least amount of money possible because I am disabled and on a limited income.
I shop all year long. I pick up things all the time when I find them on sale, and store them in a special "gift" closet. When the kids' birthdays roll around, I empty the closet and wrap anything I've bought for them. At Christmas, I empty the closet again and wrap presents for Christmas.
I try to start in November. So far I've gotten my kids a few presents. I don't like waiting until the last minute, I get too stressed! snowwolf222@yahoo.com
I usually start shopping in October because that's when I find some great deals and that's when my kids start talking about Christmas. I'm a big planner, and I'm always looking for the best deal.

ReplyDeleteI shop all year to try to get the best deal for Christmas gifts.
ReplyDeleteI start shopping around my birthday, in September, because that's when I get extra money so my funds for bills aren't depleted as greatly. :)
ReplyDeleteI start my holiday shopping as soon as Christmas is over. I try to find deals throughout the whole year!
ReplyDeleteI have somewhat started shopping. I put in some items in my cart in Amazon.
ReplyDeleteI actually like to make many of the gifts that I give for the holidays. I usually purchase a few items during the year and I love all the Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals.

ReplyDeleteChristmas is a busy time of year. This would be awesome to win
