If you have an extra long list of Christmas Tips but a limited amount of time to shop, make your first stop a major department or discount store. These places have a wider variety of items and you'll be able to knock off a large quantity of your list quickly. Drop by specialty stores at the last minute to finish off your last remaining items. These stores tend to be less crowded, so save them for later in the holiday rush.
Here are some excellent Christmas ideas and tips. There are hundreds of yard sales, garage sales, flea markets and estate auctions during the spring and summer, and often pre-Christmas months. Attend as many of these as your time allows. These sales are perfect places to find a unique gift for that hard-to-buy-for person. Plus, it's a great way to save money and avoid the Christmas buying rush.
If you've procrastinated with your holiday Christmas shopping online and now don't feel like braving the busy stores, turn to your computer for help. Most online stores will let you place an order for guaranteed Christmas Eve delivery by December 19th. Most of these online store also have features that allow you to have the gift shipped directly to the recipient, already wrapped.
So you're a procrastinator, when shopping for Christmas. Not to despair. The stores generally are not as crowded as you might think the day before Christmas. While everyone else is attending church or gathering with family, you can enjoy a relatively uncrowded reign of the malls. A note of caution, though. You'll have a next to impossible probability of finding popular items if you wait too long to do your shopping.
