Why You Should Start Your natal Shopping in Early October 

HA! And I thought I was a loser because I was browsing for Christmas presents over at link. I thought it would be a good idea, because they have great merchandise, and you're giving to excellent charities (hunger relief, rainforrest preservation, child health care, animal rescue, and mammograms for women who can't afford them).

But yeah, I put a bunch of items in my cart.

Good article, and it makes me feel like less of a dork.

And it's also a good time for starting making gifts. This year I'm going to knit some of the presents, and then it's definitely to late to start in December.

Another good idea is to buy Christmas presents while on vacation or just abroad for work reasons. What's more fun than to give something you can't find in the stores back home?
