Imagine: It’s December 20. There are five days until Christmas, but you still haven’t bought those presents on your gift list. You head to the mall, but last-minute shoppers are crowding major retailers, and store shelves are becoming bare.
You decide to shop online instead and find some of the items from your gift list, but then—oh no, forget easy two-day shipping. There are shipping delays and expedited shipping is $50.
Sound familiar? All that stress, including feeling that pit of doom in your stomach, can be avoided—if you do your holiday shopping early!
Read on to find out why you should be a big fan of early holiday shopping—and discover some fantastic gifts that you can shop for now.
Reasons for Holiday Shoppers to Start Early
It makes sense to do early holiday shopping for a few, very important reasons.
Avoid extended shipping times during holiday shopping
Like in our scenario above (we admit that was from personal experience), many consumers wait until the last minute to shop for the holidays, including those who shop online.
Expect shipping delays from all carriers this year!
Fight the urge to procrastinate because it’s so worth it to get the jump on holiday shopping early. Not only will your lovely gifts be ready to go for holiday parties, but you also won’t need to pay for expedited shipping or worry about if/when purchases will arrive.
Holiday shopping season inventory shortages
Is there an awesome gift you want to purchase? Don’t wait too long, because it may not be in stock!
Many retailers have a limited quantity of goods during the holidays due to the sheer number of holiday shoppers and purchases. Store shelves dwindle as it gets closer to December.
You might get stuck buying fewer items than you intended due to them selling out. Shop early to avoid these issues altogether!
Take advantage of early holiday shopping deals
Many of the best deals happen during early holiday shopping, often in October. Major retailers like Walmart, Target, and Amazon have begun to hold massive sales in the first couple weeks of October to:
- Ease the burden of inflation on consumers by spreading out holiday shopping
- Lessen the burden on postal carriers by promoting early holiday shopping
- Run sales at a benefit to you to offload excess inventory
You can find early holiday shopping discounts, sales, and other purchase incentives from stores on various platforms and in person.
Although there will be sales later in the holiday season, base prices will only be higher due to inflation.
Save money by shopping early!
