November, online

Oops! I'm in the USA not the UK but I voted to do my Christmas shopping this month online. Too bad your survey doesn't let me vote twice. I likely will do some last minute shopping inside actual retail stores.

November, high street

My Christmas shopping has been largely done online for years, but the current climate means there are bargains to be had in the real shops, so that's where I'm going this time around.

I will hopefully do the most of my shopping on the high street in November but will also do a good bit on the internet. Last year I did most on the high street but it was the first time I used the internet for Christmas shopping

December, online

I actually like shopping last minute. I like shopping for christmas presents when there is snow on the ground and there's a lot of hustle and bustle. Sure I do some shopping in advance, if I come across something... But I always make sure I have some special gifts to buy in December.
