Don’t panic, but there are about 9 sleeps till Christmas. If, like many people, you’ve been telling yourself that you’ll start shopping for gifts ‘tomorrow’, then now is about the time you should stop procrastinating and get to buying.
Look, I get it. Shopping centres are chaotic and frankly, wild, around this time of year. My personal hell is spending around three hours finding a parking spot, and then another three hours getting out of said parking spot.
Combine that with the hoards of people crammed into a store and the endlessly long lines you have to wait in to buy one tiny thing, staying at home where there’s peace and quiet sounds heavenly.

But you also need to get through your shopping list, because you don’t want to be that person who gifts their mum pre-loved salt and pepper shakers right after she gave you the most thoughtful present you’ve ever seen in your life.
