Okay, yes we know it’s 92 degrees outside, however time flies and before you know it the time will come to start preparing for Christmas. If you ask me it’s never too early to at least brainstorm on things to get and who to get them for.
This year will be the year where you actually buy something that people can/want to use pass New Years Eve. Plus the best thing about preparing early is the idea of being able find items on sale considering you already know the direction you want to go in.
