I was reading The Sun newspaper today Saturday August 22, 2009 and noticed an article titled:

SHOP EARLY FOR XMAS ...FOUR MONTHS EARLY - Outrage at stores flogging festive gear already

They are saying shops like Londons Selfridges and Harrods are selling Christmas decorations already & cashing in on Christmas early. And a church of England spokesman has said "It's too early to be selling Christmas Gifts. We should not forget the true meaning of Christmas which is to celebrate the birth of Christ"

I don't know about anyone else but in our online shop we have been selling christmas gifts all year round. We find people do like to spread the cost of christmas through out the year.

Not everyone can afford to wait until November / December and just go out and buy gifts on one or two months wages, they either have to budget throught out the year and save for christmas, or buy slowly through the year!! 

I don't think this is a one off; shops have been selling Christmas gifts in August / September for some time now.

If you want to start looking for Christmas Gifts in August come shop with us. We are adding new christmas gift ideas nearly everyday.
