4 Reasons To Do Your Christmas Shopping Now
The last reason is concerning
I recently finished my Christmas shopping even though we haven’t made it past Halloween. I usually do most of my Christmas shopping in late November and early December, but this year is different.
Most people think about the holidays as the temperature drops, and Christmas music fills the airwaves. Waiting until the last minute to do your Christmas shopping is risky, especially this year.
While holiday shopping may not be on the top of your radar, you’ll have to do it eventually. Here are five reasons to start now rather than wait for early December.
Affordable Shipping
Since I bought everything a few days ago, I don’t care if it takes a month for everything to arrive. A sizable time window gives consumers greater flexibility with shipping.
You can opt for the most affordable shipping instead of the fastest choice. Faster delivery costs more money, and if Christmas is less than a week away, many families will make that extra expense.
Buying gifts well before the deadline makes shipping more affordable.
