Depends on when I'll have an opportunity to give a person their gift. If I won't see them at Christmas, but maybe will for New Year's Eve, I'll sometimes wait until after Christmas Day (when things go on sale) to buy the present. I have been burned by buying a present before Christmas that I gave out a week later, only to discover that somebody else already gave it to that person on Christmas Day!
Otherwise, I sometimes get more "inspired" when I do my shopping closer to Christmas Day if I didn't already have an idea for that person's gift.

Two days before Christmas, I was soo scared because most of the stores things were out of stock, so we just had to buy leftovers that people didn't want, i'll never ever go Christmas shopping late again...

One year, my mom and I waited until the day before Christmas to buy ANY of the presents. We were rushing out the door at 8 am, to the mall, bookstore, post office to rush ship gifts, the card store, toy store, etc. It was so hectic!

Well, I'm only twelve but my parents kind of spread out their shopping so it doesn't seem like they did it to fast or waited to long. The day of Christmas Eve though it's fun because everyone is doing last minute shopping.

They gave me for Christmas, a moldy sheet set (definite you could locate and scent the mold) and linens that smelled like they have been sitting in an outhouse for years, and books with the scent of feces. those outlaws are actually not living in poverty, they're living conveniently. They pay their babies hand$omely during the year. yet i've got faith they nonetheless have subject concerns approximately their new child marrying me, and we've been married for some years! yet then they have been under no circumstances happy approximately their new child's spouses, and enable us to spouses be attentive to in no uncertain words. they're in all probability pissed off because of the fact my better half and that i are nonetheless married. i became no longer reported to reciprocate by way of sending rubbish as presents yet I actual have considering that distanced myself from those cretins.

I have done it Christmas Eve. I don't recommend it. That is a very stressful way of doing it.
