When should you start holiday gift shopping?

Shop four to six weeks ahead of the occasion so you're choosing on fit rather than availability. The holiday treats advent guides collection is hand-built by our editors, with a short note on who each pick suits. Popular picks thin out first, and early shopping leaves room to swap if something better turns up.
