Christmas is less than 2 weeks away and you know what that means…. crunch time! If you’re like the majority of Americans, there is still much to do before that magical day. According to the National Retail Federation (NFR), 88% of Americans still have shopping to do between December 12th-December 25th.

“Even though many consumers got a headstart with holiday shopping early in the season, millions more are leaving their gift buying the last minute and beyond.” – Matthew Shay, NRF President & CEO

In fact, according to the annual survey released in 2017 by the National Retail Federation and Prosper Insights & Analytics; of those consumers who had completed half or less of their shopping, 42 percent said they were either still deciding what to buy, waiting for gift requests and/or delayed by other activities.
