Nobody really likes Christmas shopping, do they? Fighting their way through the crowds that seem to have come out of nowhere; spending hours and hours picking their way through the piles of marked up junk that just a few months earlier could have been a bargain, but is now ready to blow your budget a lot more quickly than Christmas will arrive.

Actually; let's get one thing straight - women like Christmas shopping. There's something about the crowded high street that really gets a woman going, although it could easily be the thought of the inevitable gingerbread latte and mince pie from the coffee shop at the end of the road. Men really, really do not like Christmas shopping, and it's easy to see why: it's a lot easier to get all your presents when you don't have to set foot on a high street in December.

Firstly, men don't have the same meticulous nature when they're shopping as women do; there's no "it's nice, but it's not quite right" instead opting for "yes, she'll probably like that." Needless to say, when a man is out shopping with his other half, this kind of attitude places him firmly in the bad books, and ...
... when he's already a little annoyed thanks to the amount of people brushing up against him, an argument can easily ensue.

Secondly, a few years ago they invented this thing called the internet. More recently, the internet has become a very, very good place to shop; there's a much larger selection, and everything seems to be much cheaper too. Most big retailers are now offering free delivery, and there are almost no crowds whatsoever when you're browsing, making the whole process as smooth and streamlined as possible. You can even do it at work, so you don't have the thought in the back of your mind that you've got somewhere better to be on a
Saturday afternoon (watching the football perhaps).

The only problem with online shopping is that if you leave it too late, all it takes is another winter like we had a few years back and your goods will not arrive in time; they might not even arrive at all and you'll be left chasing refunds, making the whole process even less fun than ambling down a high street; especially when you have to explain to your other half where her present is nowhere to be found.

When it comes to getting the Christmas shopping done, try getting an early start using a site like hisandhersgiftcompany; if you leave it too close to the time you might be left without any gifts for her.
