How to finish Christmas shopping before December 1
How I did it: I seached a lot of gift guides, magazines, spoke to everyone and their relatives to weazel out ideas and then did 90% of the shopping online on Black Friday. Amazon was my savior, they had mostly everything I wanted, plus it was on sale, and most of it had free shipping. It was also good to have someone to bounce ideas off of.
Lessons & tips: Encourage your giftees to make a wish list (Amazon or otherwise).
Also, really listen when you're with these people, they may be constantly giving you hints and you don't know it!
Go shopping during the week and skip the mall on the weekends, it's just too crazy, even take a day off and get it all done then if you have to.
