Thanksgiving is the start of the Christmas shopping season.
The ten most popular gifts of the season are: Apple iPod Touch-newest generation, Apple iPad, Xbox Kinect Console, Playstation Move, Amazon Kindle Wireless Reading Device, Halo Reach, Samsung 40 inch LCD HDTV, Call of Duty: Black Ops, ASUS Thin Laptop and the Motorola Android Cell Phone.
Some tips for successful holiday purchases are:
1. Start your sale searching on Thanksgiving Day or sooner.
2. Figure out what you want to buy, which stores have the best sales and what time they open.
3. List stores by opening time from early to late.
4. Know where your items are in the store.
5. Be respectful of other shoppers.
6. It is busy at the food court so bring a snack! (The bathroom is also packed so plan ahead.)
7. Do not forget about stores that do not advertise. They will have deals too!
8. Have fun!
Thanks to early online information regarding times and products, shopping now happens earlier in the season.
A popular Black Friday website indicated post-Thanksgiving shopping increased 13.3 percent between 2008 and 2009 and spending rose 3.6 percent in the same period.
According to predictions, as the percent of holiday shoppers increase the number of dollars spent per shopper will decrease.
