Christmas Shopping – How early is too early?

Christmas Shopping – How early is too early?



Do you find that stores and malls are ready for Christmas well before YOU are ready? How soon is too early to start Christmas shopping? Here are some reason why starting early might be a good idea:

Wait too long and it might be gone!
If you have a specific gift in mind you might want to shop early if there’s a chance it might sell out during the busy shopping season.

Better deals?
Some might argue that there are better deals to be had far away from Christmas so some people start early hoping to catch “fall savings” deals before the Christmas season is truly upon us.

Beat the mad rush!
Hate crowds? If so, getting your Christmas shopping done early is a good idea because as we all know, the closer we get to December 25th, the busier stores and malls become.

Budgeting
It may be better to start your Christmas shopping early, spread over a number of months, to help with budgeting. If your Christmas spending is all spent in one month (December) it can be hard to play ‘catch-up’ on credit card balances in the new year. Starting months in advance means you can budget a smaller amount over a longer period of time which may lessen the stress of the January credit card bill.

Buying Online?
If you’re doing any shopping online, especially from overseas, it’s always a good idea to order early to ensure your parcel reaches you well before Christmas.

Christmas is a BUSY time of year for many retailers (us included) so having stores ready for the Christmas rush early is one way to limit the busyness of this time of year.

When do you normally start your Christmas shopping? How early is too early? Share your ideas below. We look forward to hearing your ideas about early holiday shopping.

How to Strengthen Weak Ties and Expand Your Network

How to Strengthen Weak Ties and Expand Your Network Every day we continuously build our strong ties. We talk to our boss, we grab coffee with a coworker sitting next to us, we go jogging with a close friend. These habits and rituals can be comforting, but they can also be restrictive if they only expose us to limited ideas and ways of thinking. When we limit ourselves to interacting only with our strong ties, we prevent ourselves from the benefits of weak ties. Weak ties is a sociology term referring to surface-level relationships or acquaintances. These are individuals we might see on Facebook, but never  really  talk to or get to know. They are the people in our office who work on a different account or the person you sit next to at your volunteer meeting but never actually engage with. When we intentionally build connections with weak ties, we expose ourselves to new things, different ways of thinking, and have the opportunity to create a more dynam...
