Have you started shopping for Christmas yet? The Christmas season is no longer around the corner---it is already in your doorstep so make haste and start shopping now! This is easy to say if you have the moolah to pay for the gifts and the sweets. However, the world financial crisis seems to have hitched a ride with Santa so everyone will surely be spending less this season.

If you really want to buy gifts for your family and friends then don't be bothered with the price tag. Choose gifts that are practical, functional and most importantly----affordable! Yes dear, Christmas is getting so commercialized you cannot even celebrate it with just a hot cup of chocolate and the laughter of everyone around.
