There are just a few short weeks to go until the festive season is upon us yet again and if you’re super organized then you’ll already have all your present ideas sorted and know exactly what you’re going to get everybody. You might have already purchased and wrapped some gifts already. However, if you’re struggling for Christmas gift ideas and are looking for something a little different to get a loved one or family member this year, you’re not alone.

How To Avoid Panic Buying This Christmas

Gift-giving stress is a problem for many people during the weeks leading up to Christmas. Just one look at the hassled faces and stressed out expressions on the faces of shoppers scouring department stores on Christmas Eve is enough to tell us that not everybody has things under control when it comes to Christmas present buying. Even though we know it’s going to come around every year, some of us still manage to leave gift buying until the very last minute. Perhaps because we’re too busy, or because we’re not organized enough, or even because we don’t have any good gift ideas. And then of course we end up rushing and buying something totally inadequate or unsuitable in a last minute panic.

Whether you’re looking to buy a gift for your parents and siblings, your friends, or your husband, choosing an experience gift is one way to avoid the eleventh hour of panic buying and the madness of the pre-Christmas shopping experience altogether. Experience days can be bought online and are fantastic as gifts for men, gifts for women or gifts for couples. They can cover everything from bungee jumping to white water rafting, wine tasting to afternoon tea, so it’s easy to find something for everyone and you can do it all from the comfort of home. Hurrah!
