Some holidays, and in particular Christmas, are notorious with the heavy shopping for gifts. There is a whole new segment of the retail industry focused on Christmas holiday shopping. Merchandisers place their wholesale orders from September onwards, while marketers gear up their efforts from October or even earlier. Few of the world’ s most popular online shopping venues already bagan their seasonal campaigns. In October, AliExpress hosted a week-long sales event for small businesses, while Amazon opened the Black Friday sale store three weeks earlier this year.
However, when it comes to holiday shopping ordinary people often fail to prepare a budget and come up with original ideas for presents or even to find time to do the actual shopping. As a result, they sometimes end up with inappropriate gifts or even with no gifts at all. That is why it is necessary to find the right time to do the holiday shopping for the festive season.
When is the best time for that?
Two Weeks before the Holidays
Most people shop a couple of weeks before the Christmas holiday. That is because stores offer many good promotions and discounts for the festive season. If you chose this time to do your shopping, you could save some money. However, most of the discounts are time-limited. In order to take advantage of the exclusive offers people rush into the stores. The large crowds in and outside the shops can be quite stressful. In addition, with late holiday shopping you need to know what you want to buy and to act fast. Otherwise, you may end up empty-handed.
Right after the Holidays
This suggestion may sound odd, but it is actually very practical and clever. The days after holidays are when the biggest sales of the year take place. You can get many items and products for half their price. Also, you will still be in a holiday mood.
But the early shopping has some downsides. As a start, after the holidays people are often short of money. Also, if you buy your presents one year before the next Christmas holiday, you may have some trouble storing them or keeping them a secret. There may be other unfortunate turnouts. For example, your friends and family will have enough time to buy what you have already got them as a gift.
All Year Round
Our advice is to do your Christmas holiday shopping all year round. In that way would have plenty of time to save money and come up with nice ideas for presents. But most importantly, you would avoid the stress and the crowds. The only disadvantage of this shopping “strategy” is that you would need to keep your eyes open for sales all year long. That is, of course, if you want to save some cash.

It is not true that everything at Aliexpress is quality. My experience is different, and ithe company donot not ensure that suppliers sell good quality products to consumers or small businesses.
