I decided I would start planning earlier than normal this year around early November so that I knew exactly what I was buying. Each month I have to budget my money (as I'm a student and poor) which makes it even more stressful for me as there is always the worry I am going to overspend and end up having to live off pot noodles for the next month.
If you're like me and a people pleaser, you have to make sure that all the presents you buy are going to be something they will love and actually appreciate instead of something that will be pushed to the side and forgotten about. As I am the most indecisive person in the world this doesn't help the process of choosing presents which is why I have to plan so far in advance. I tend to shop around for a good few weeks until I finally decide on something which is good enough in my opinion.
I tend to do 80% of my shopping online as it saves me having to deal with the mass of crazy shoppers plus I don't have to go outside in the cold...what could be better? The only problem with this is if your order arrives and you're not happy with it. There'so many things to consider!
It's the fact that once you have bought it and wrapped it up there's no turning back and that scares me a little. There's always that inkling in the back of your mind worrying that they're not going to like what you've bought and that's it then you've basically ruined Christmas.
