Ever thought about finishing that Christmas list in a single day? Now that we are faced with our second weak economy Christmas, working on a budget shouldn't be new for most people. Here are a few ways to get through that list without resorting to the bottle...of eggnog, of course.
6 steps to the perfect Christmas shopping experience:
1. Make your list, check it twice, then print out a copy!
2. Look at that list and think about who is on it. The best way to shop is with a clear idea of each individual's interests.

3. Set a budget. Determine how much you can spend in total, then how much for each person. Be realistic based on gifts you had in mind.
4. Start online. Most sites offer special discount codes, free shipping and reduced prices. Check out different websites - you never know where you'll find a deal. This can save you a lot of stress and time.
5. Use catalogues. They may seem old fashioned, but they are a quick and easy way to shop. Most come with size charts too!
6. Head to the mall. Avoid peak times such as weekends, they're rarely productive. If you want to capitalize on deals, try Friday night instead.
Don't forget it's never too early to start shopping. Many sales in January and the spring are better than those you find around Christmas. Take advantage of deals and store gifts until Christmas. It's always a treat to pull out that box and find you're almost done your shopping!
