Get an Early Start on Your Holiday Shopping 

As we say goodbye to fall festivities, both local and major retailers are gearing up to promote holiday sales, officially kicking off the shopping season. While it may seem like the holiday shopping season begins a little earlier every year, checking off everyone and everything on your list as soon as possible is a smart move. Shopping early can save you precious time and money as well as minimize stress throughout what is sure to be a busy holiday season.  

5 Advantages of Shopping Early for the Holidays 

As the end of the year quickly approaches, you may soon be faced with more tasks on top of an already hectic family schedule. For those who don’t get a thrill out of last minute holiday shopping, getting started early has its advantages.

Here are a few reasons why you should get ahead of your holiday shopping this year: 

• Decrease the Pressure: You may feel an increased amount of pressure to buy your gifts the closer it gets to the holidays. By avoiding the scramble, you can significantly decrease this pressure and also take advantage of the extra time to look through your store or price options and make a more thoughtful and informed decision. Additionally, if you give yourself more time to buy a gift, you can be sure that you are getting your loved ones something they will genuinely want and use. 
• Fully Stocked Shelves: The earlier you shop, the more likely that the shop where you make your purchases will have what you want in stock. If you have a specific product in mind or want to buy an in-demand gift, purchase these items as soon as possible or you may run the risk of losing out.  
• Score Great Deals: Since the goal of retailers is to attract customers into their stores as soon as possible, some of the lowest sales and promotions happen very early during the holiday season. Keep an eye on your social media channels as this is one of the main avenues that retailers use to advertise their holiday sales. If you do your holiday shopping online, make your purchases earlier to avoid paying rush shipping.    
• Easier on the Budget: Purchasing all your holiday gifts at the last minute can quickly become an overwhelming experience. It may also be more challenging to pay off your holiday debts at once. By starting your shopping early, you can easily spread out the burden of paying your bills. 
• Spend More Time with Family: The holidays signify more than just a time for gift-giving. They are really about spending quality time with your family and friends. Complete your holiday shopping earlier so you can focus on gatherings, travel, cooking and everything else that comes with this special time of year.
