Have you finished your Christmas shopping yet?
Well, according to a survey completed earlier this month by the National Retail Federation, you're not alone. According to the survey, as of the second week of December, less than half of people had finished their shopping, nearly 20% hadn't even started, and less than 9% were already done.
Not everyone plans to leave everything until tomorrow, the last shopping day. In fact, only 11.9% planned to wait until the 24th to finish while more than 1/3 of those surveyed expected to be finished by last weekend.
In terms of gifts purchased, "the majority of people (44.7%) say they have purchased apparel so far this year. Additionally, shoppers have been buying books, CDs, DVDs, videos and video games (39.7%), toys (34.6%) gift cards (27.5%), consumer electronics (21.8%) and food (19.3%)."
Happy shopping!
