BROWSE BY FAMILIAR BRAND NAMES

· Start with a list of your gift ideas to make sure you don’t forget anything

· Next to your gift ideas jot down store names of where you may find the gift/gifts

· Take advantage of gift wrapping and shipping options from online stores

· Avoid procrastination & shop early to make sure the items that you are searching for are available

· Check product reviews and ratings from Consumer Reports

· If you have a large group to buy for, consider saving time and money by purchasing one item that everyone can use.  Gift baskets are the easiest.  There are unlimited possibilities.
