If you haven’t yet bought all of your Christmas presents, there’s still time. Thanks to the internet and late night opening hours in stores, you’re no longer as limited as you used to be when it comes to choosing when you’ll make your purchases. Here are some tips for successful last-minute Christmas shopping:

• Check the opening times of individual stores. If they’re within a shopping complex, the centre itself may have different opening times to the shops.
• Be careful about deliveries. Make sure that your items are going to be arriving in time – if there are only going to be standard deliveries available, it might be too late to place your order.
• Have plenty of ideas. You need to have back-up plans in case you can’t find your first choice of gift.
• Ask around for ideas. Other people may be able to give you some gift inspiration and will pass on ideas that you might not have considered.
• Don’t panic! A lot of last-minute Christmas shopping is about being organised. Make sure that you have a list, and that you take it with you and cross items off as you buy them.
