Yes, September might feel early – but when it comes to Christmas shopping, it pays to plan ahead.
At Little and Giant Explorers, we know how quickly the festive season creeps up. Here’s why starting in September can save stress, money and time later on.
1. Beat the Rush
By September, brand-new Christmas stock is already arriving. Shopping early means you’ll have first choice of the best Christmas trees, inflatables and decorations before they sell out.
2. Spread the Cost
Starting in September helps you budget. Instead of a single December splurge, you can spread the cost across a few months. Payment options like Klarna or PayPal Pay in 3 make early shopping even easier.
3. Enjoy the Festive Build-Up
December should be about family traditions, cosy nights and festive fun – not rushing through crowded shops. By buying in September, you free up time to enjoy the season.
4. Avoid Delivery Delays
The closer we get to Christmas, the busier couriers become. Ordering early ensures your decorations and gifts arrive in plenty of time, avoiding the risk of last-minute delays.
5. Get Creative with Decorating
Shopping ahead means you can plan your theme. Go classic with red and gold, chic with silver and white or bold with colourful inflatables and statement lights in the garden.
