    Hi All,

    I have done all my Christmas Shopping for this year over the last 4 months. I just wanted to know who will do theirs in the sales for next year, as i am really tempted to just go out and buy it all in the sales and just put it away! Do you think its worth it? Or not a good idea?

    I do some in the Jan sales: Aunts & Uncles, stocking fillers, mega bargains. But mainly birthday presents for children since we have loads throughout the year.

    However I love Xmas shopping in December when the lights are on and the music's playing. People who enjoy this whole experience, can run the risk of buying again closer to the time if they buy too early. So beware. And also remember where you store things if you buy early! I have a present book and write everything in there. :)

    Unless money was incredibly tight all the time, I wouldn't buy for very close family or main presents for the children in the Jan sales, as things change by December!

    So I think it's a good idea to a certain degree.

    I too like Xmas shopping but it starts way too early these days and it has just become something we have to do :-(
