Looking for Xmas day bargain shoppers for Guardian article

Hello,
As I posted over on the Christmas and Yuletide board, I'm a freelance journalist for The Guardian and I'm looking to interview people for an article on Christmas shopping.

Apologies for 'touting for business' but I'm trying to get word out to as many people as possible - and I've checked and been given permission by MSE editors to post this. (See the thread on there.)

Anyway, I especially want to speak to people who are quite extreme - so:
- people who have bought everything already
- people who absolutely refuse to do any Christmas shopping before the 23rd or 24th December
- people who never buy anything before December 25, and then buy everything in the sales or 1am on Xmas day.
- people who hate shopping in stores and buy everything online
- people who do all their Xmas shopping like stockings and cards for the following year in the Xmas sales

If you are one of these people, or know someone who is, and you wouldn't mind appearing in the paper, please get in touch. The best way to get in touch with me is to email me donna.freelancer+media@gmail.com or you can tweet me: donnalferguson

(You can see on the Christmas thread that I really am who I say I am. Thanks for your time.)

  • Still looking for an 'extreme' Christmas shopper who refuses to actually buy gifts until Boxing Day - there's no point paying more just because it's before Xmas, you may as well get the gifts the day after etc etc.

    Anyone like that? Or know anyone who is?

    No photo necessary and you can be anonymous!

    Please do get in touch today.

    Thanks everyone.
