Are you ready to deck the halls and hang the baubles? As the annual festivities edge ever closer, it’s time to get prepared for Christmas…
The evenings are drawing in, the shops are staying open later and that advert has hit our television screens. It can only be time for one thing: Christmas!
Yes, it’s November. But with less than 27 shopping days until the big day, it is time to get ready.
Not convinced? We’ve outlined five reasons why you should prepare early:
1. Budget
As un-festive as it sounds, budgeting is the key to a happy Christmas – there’s nothing worse than stressing about the cost of the celebrations, so spread the cost and start shopping now!
2. Offers
Take advantage of the discounts. Many retailers have pre-Christmas sales so get in there early and bag a bargain!
3. Beat the crowds
No one wants to get involved in a scramble for the last game of Scrabble on the shelf.
4. Find the perfect gift
By starting early, you’ll get people presents that they actually want.
5. Relax!
As it gets colder, darker and wetter, the last thing you want to do is rush around the high street in mid December. Stay inside, light a fire and put your feet up in front of the box. It’s a pretty good feeling when, in December, all you have to worry about is who ate the last mince pie!
Plus, with many families spread across all four corners of the globe, the earlier you start your Christmas shopping, the more likely your presents will be delivered on time.
The good news is, we’re making it even easier to send your gifts this Christmas. With over 1,300 Service Points nationwide, we’re sure to be on a high street near you. So, once you’ve found the perfect present, just take it to your local Service Point and we’ll send it on its way!
Being prepared not your strong point? No problem! Our later posting dates guarantee your gifts will be there in time to be placed under the Christmas tree.
