Good morning! It is hard to believe but we are almost out of the month of September and will be beginning October early next week. Wow…this year is really flying by fast.
Today’s Topic: The start of the holiday shopping season is almost upon us. When I walk into the retail stores I am already seeing Christmas and holiday merchandise. Matter of fact, I have been seeing it since early August which I think is way too soon! Today, we would like to know how many of you already started your holiday shopping? How many of you will wait until early November to start and how many of you wait until a few days before the Christmas holiday?
Personally, I shop all year long but only pick up things I know that make a great gift & if they are at a bargain price. By the time September rolls around I am about 25 to 30% done with my shopping. I then kick things into high gear the end of September and I try to be done by December 1st before the mall crowds become nasty.
Anyway, we had a few giveaways end late last night. After verifying entries and dumping all cheater entries we use Random.org via our Giveaway Tools Ap to select a winner. All winners have 48 hours to respond to our email & to claim their prize before a new winner will be chosen. We will not hunt you down and chase you all over social media to find you. If you don’t answer our email or don’t check your email frequently, that is your problem.
Winner for the Learning Resources is… friederike graedener
Winner for the SteriShoe Sanitizer Device is…anita leibert
Congratulations to both winners! We hope everyone has a great weekend and make sure you check our blog out throughout the weekend, lots of great posts coming your way!
I generally start holiday shopping in November. Things such as who will get a gift and how much it will cost can also affect when I do my holiday shopping.
I usually wait until November to start. Occasionally I’ll find something great and will get it earlier. I like to be finished by December 1st. Although, in the last couple of years I have found I do a lot of online shopping so I’m missing the crowds.
Congrats to the winners!
I shop year round and stop by the dollar store in early December for fun things.
Congratulations to the 2 winners.
I too shop all year long and try to be finished before the holiday crush. Sometimes there is a great deal at the last minute, but I am not one to stand outside a store for hours.
Sooo very excited to have won the Learning Resources Cash Register! Thank you so much 🙂
