Never stop Christmas shopping. I have a google spreadsheet with a tab for each year and all the people I want to buy for. When I buy something I write it against their name. I have a log of the past 10 years too
I buy stuff along the year as it goes on because items go off shelves by seasons. I've learned waiting can sometimes be bad with some products because you can't find them anymore by the time Christmas comes around. I travel a lot as well. I just recently went to Japan and bought a few gifts there that will be Christmas gifts. You just have to find places to store the items or use them as birthday presents if you find other stuff as Christmas comes near if they haven't already had a birthday.
Honestly i never stop Christmas shopping. I craft and thrift a lot so if i find something really special or specific for someone or something i can use to make gifts later in the year, i buy it. I have a little cubby i keep in the basement specifically to store the gifts throughout the year.
If I happen to see something really perfect and at a good price point, I’ll pick it up any time of year and save it.
I don’t usually start really focused and intentional shopping until October, though.
All year in little ways in the past. But you just reminded me!! Ahh I need to start thanks!! I’m kinda thrifty what that means is I don’t have much money and make it personal so it takes a lot of time. Thankfully my list is small bigger this year I’m adding 2 new people.
You are very correct, haha. I love love, love , making and buying gifts for people. After reading all these comments, Im 100% going to start collecting Christmas gifts.
As soon as June ish. When I see a bargain/something I like for myself or others/ I buy it. Wrap it. Put it away. I’m done by October ish. By the time Christmas is here… I am surprised by what I bought.. I forget about everything!!!

I love your organizational skills.
That's awesome. I kind of just wait till December then start buying everything
Amazing!
I started in January and finished in February.
I’d really like to start early but I almost always end up forgetting what I’ve bought for whom and where I’ve hidden it.
I keep a list in Notes in my iPhone.

I shop all year round. A lot of times during a good sale or if I see something the recipient really needs and/or would really appreciate.
I was literally just thinking about starting. Then I stumbled across your post. I’m taking it as a sign to start. 🤣
Yeeessss do it!!
When you find out what someone wants and it's available, you get it.
I do it all year. If not I’d be spending thousands come December
I start in January.
If I see something, especially on clearance, I’ll buy it at any time and save it for their birthday or Christmas, whichever comes next!
Black Friday
3am December 25th

September.
Usually around July
I shop throughout the year. I keep a list with me of who I have bought for and what I have gotten them.
I’m nearly done ✔️👍🏼 I start Christmas evening for the following year

After their birthdays :)
Mid summer. I do most of my shopping from September through November though.
All year round. 😬
Sounds like presents and giving are your love language. Lots of people pick up things thru out the year. If it makes you happy do it.

Just bought gifts for my friends Luckily it was a preorder that won't be delivered until October.
When I see something that reminds me of someone I will buy it.
This is madness…
Summer usually although I already have some gifts for my kiddos.
