OK, I know it’s just August, but several of the venues we used to sell on were already having Christmas in July and Countdown to Christmas Sales.

So how do you feel about this? Do you shop all year ’round, and keep a “gift closet”?
Do you wait ’til the last minute?
Or are you somewhere in between?

Since over the years we sold quite a few stuffed animals and soft dolls, plus a lot of vintage collectibles, we have seen lots of plan ahead shoppers and lots of last minute shoppers, too. One Christmas we even shipped a stuffed animal over-night to arrive on Christmas Day! But that’s another story, I’ll tell another time.

So, have you started your Christmas shopping already?
