Department stores are very sneaky because they know that this period is the busiest and they can exploit shoppers’ desperate attempts to buy presents. If you are a man, you normally wait until the very last week to shop for your children and family members. A recent marketing survey showed that on average, people spend a total of $700 on Christmas presents, so if you are waiting for the last week, then you could be paying around $1,400.

To start you Christmas shopping the smart way, it is best to be aware of knowing when the official Christmas season starts and that would be on the 8th day of December. During this time of the year, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception is celebrated by dancing in front of Gothic cathedral located in Seville. Christmas is a significant event in Spain with Virgin Mary considered as the Patron Saint of the country.

Start shopping very early.  There is nothing wrong with buying a gift halfway through the year for someone you know that might like it.  If you see something that someone might like, just purchase it regardless when it is. Sometimes you can get some good deals when you do your shopping all through the year and not just at Christmas time.

If you're looking for something both younger and older kids will enjoy, the latest Nintendo DSi XL portable gaming system is a great way to have games on the go! The popular Brain Age learning software is pre-installed, and with bigger screens and a camera included it's a great way for friends and family to join in. Abt Electronics has a great selection in lots of fun colors.

Secondly, we'll talk about convenience. Whether you're shopping in Argos stores, or going to the website, you won't feel any stress at all. Firstly, in store, you simply choose your product, pay using a machine or by handing your money to a cashier, then wait for your purchase to come to your collection point - it couldn't get easier. Online, however, you've actually got a larger range of products to choose from - including an extended Argos clearance range. You simply click on the 'add to basket'/'buy' button next to the product you want to buy, pay for it using your credit/debt card and arrange a time for delivery.

Choosing a gift - Think of gifts that will invoke emotions among your friends and family. You will ideally want to buy them something that might bring a smile to their face upon seeing it. Make sure you buy branded items when you buy Christmas gifts. You do not want to buy someone a coffee maker that doesn't work after a couple of weeks.

Why procrastinate to the last minute when starting your Christmas shopping early can help you to avoid the last minute stress of not only having to fight the crowds at the mall but also you are taking a chance that those hot Christmas gifts that everyone is after do sell out if they are a really hot item. Then you will even more stressed out by now having to come up with another gift idea when the perfect gift was there just yesterday.
