Internet shopping is amazing. Or it would have been three weeks ago.
Now you need to brace yourself for shopping areas that look like something out of The Walking Dead. Expect no mercy or human kindness on those streets. This is all about survival.
Time is precious. You need a plan so draw up a shopping list.
Make a list, stick to it and get it done. Improvisation is for jazz musicians, not Christmas shoppers.
Last minute shopping is easier once you've accept that all hope is lost. Acceptance is key.
Just hope for the best but don't burden yourself with unrealistic expectations.
OK, so people are wrestling each other for gifts and you’ve just been elbowed in the neck for the third time in the space of five minutes. Find a happy place!
This is no time to hunt down a boutique shop that’s miles away from everything else.
You want to be in the centre of the action, with as many shops as possible around to provide backup options. Sure, it’s going to be carnage but you’re now playing a numbers game.
You need a killer instinct to go shopping in late December.
Checking prices in other shops may be OK in November. But by the time Christmas Eve rolls around, a present in the hand is worth two in the bush.
They can smell your fear. In your current mental state, you could end up buying anything.
We’ve all been there.
And we all know that no good can come of it. Step away from the novelty car seats.
