I would like your opinions... I have about $200 saved up so far for Christmas shopping. I usually always wait until last minute to do it and normally I regret waiting so long. So do ya'll think I should start now or should I wait a little bit longer?

    is there a reason to wait longer? sales? i don't know. i tend to think if you have the money and time now, might as well.

    I personally start Christmas shopping early. I usually start back in late August or early September. I buy one or two gifts at a time. It helps ease the pain of doing shopping all at once and seeing all that money go at one time. Plus, I'm usually done early enough, that I don't see the big rushes. I usually get the last of it done around Black Friday weekend.

    I've already bought Christmas gifts for my girlfriends, I saw some pretty earrings online and bought one in every color for each of them.
  • Last minute. It's more fun that way.

    Technically there is no reason to wait longer.. Just usually wait. I think I am going to go this weekend while I take the dogs to get groomed.

    I do a little before Thanksgiving and then do all the rest on Black Friday or Cyber Monday and get great deals and then I am done be Dec.1 st! Worth to start now! And before you buy anything, research online for coupons!

    I started early as well. I think if you buy a little at a time, it eases the pain of spending all that money at once! My daughter really likes all the Monster High dolls so each time a new one would come out I would buy and have saved a bunch of them for her to have at Christmas. So I definitely would start early especially if you have kids to buy for!
