This was the first year I shopped on Black Friday. I usually indulge in my holiday shopping before Thanksgiving. My goal at this time is to avoid the trouble of doing a full backup once a year. That is not the case in 2007. However, this holiday season shopping is very unique. In a US consumer report poll, only 22% expect to complete holiday shopping after Thanksgiving.
In 2006, this is a 30% difference. In fact, 45% of respondents said they did not plan to complete the purchase by the second week of December, and 20% said they would make the purchase by December 24. I usually shop late in the season and get crowded. So what is the crowd? What is the US consumer mode in late 2007? Holidays do not encourage much information from various elections and surveys. High energy prices, leadership debt crises, and suffering have hurt American confidence in the economy. Increasing dependence on global events, such as wars in Iraq, instability in Pakistan, and possible conflict with Iran. In addition, American consumers shop during this holiday season. I know that thousands of Chinese American companies have been recalled by a high level of leadership. In general, Americans are in a dark mood with the growing nature of the holiday season, economic concerns, product safety, safety concerns, and rising energy prices. Therefore, it is important for consumers in this type of diet mode to become a survival guide during the holiday season. This is my 12 list and donut list.
1. Think before you buy clothes as a gift: This year, more people buy clothes on vacation. Consumers show that clothing is their number one gift idea. But last year's costumes were the most disappointing gift people received during the holidays. In fact, more than half say they are disappointed with receiving a variety of dresses during the 2006 vacation, such as socks, sweaters, and shirts. 2. Men's electronic gifts: Approximately 25% of surveyed men choose electronic items as their main holiday gift. They are the most popular holiday accessories for men. Many people hate to receive clothes, but prefer electronic gifts. In short, until more and more men buy electronic toys, they can be dressed up. 3. Buy gift women: According to a recent survey, it is the best holiday gift women demand. Unlike most men, many women prefer to buy clothes. They just want to buy it themselves. 4. Avoid the gift of desire: Overall, now about 25% of us will receive the gift again. About 75% of people do not meet the holiday budget. 25% of the budget is probably a re-granter. Note: If you are giving a gift again, do not return the gift you received. For example, you may reach a moment of movement for a while. 5. Don't miss the coal mute as a gift: This is a gift that has been presented as a hilarious practical joke over the past few years. This year can be seen as a serious charity to help people with high household electricity bills. 6. Don't eat fig pudding: I don't know if everyone will eat, but this is an old tradition and this warning is in all holiday survival guides. This type may also include fruit cake.
7. Do not buy black Christmas trees: they are sold at high prices and are a clear trend of holiday decoration design. Think about what you are doing. People will think you bought a tree that withstood the fire. 8. Say "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holiday": Remember that more than two-thirds of Americans prefer to use the word "Merry Christmas" during "Happy Christmas" . However, at least 60% of Republican Democrats prefer at least 60% of Christmas. To be politically correct, states with Republican voting rights say "Merry Christmas" to confirm that "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holiday" is in the state where the Democratic Party casts votes. 9. Don't sing "I dream of white Christmas", "Baby, cold", "Sleepy", "I want to keep me warm" or other cold and harsh songs. Do you expect all north of the Mason / Dixon line to use for Christmas to break due to the high cost of heating the house this December? These songs are no longer politically correct. They should be banned until the price of heating oil drops dramatically. 10. Last year, the most popular vacation destination for Americans was Malaysia (a great piece from the Malaysian Travel Agency). If you want to sing the cold and snow of Christmas and have a dream, at least travel with an accompaniment.
