Too Many Christmas Shows!

Sapphiregal — Sun, 18 Oct 2020 14:30:22 GMT

Why so many days of selling Christmas stuff? First there is Christmas in July. Then I even saw some presentations of Christmas stuff in Aug. and Sept., as well. I'm tired of them already and you know there are just going to be more and more. I know - just don't watch - and I won't.

Just two months until Christmas, I need to have my shopping done in a month. I need all the inspiration I can get.

I dont mind it one bit.

It's that time of the year. They have been doing the same scheduling format for years. A lot of people are starting (or have already begun) their shopping.

Actually Christmas decor shows are about done. There will be little from here on out.

It will be gifting shows for the most part now. Same stuff they sell all year, just packaged for holiday giving.

I love the CIJ and all the monthly events that follow. A great change from the endless clothing, purses, shoes, and beauty.

With delivery companies already overwhelmed with lots more people doing daily shopping online, people better shop for gifts early this year or they might find themselves with no gifts on Christmas Day.....

Am thinking that actual out in person to the malls type of shopping will be low if any this year. I'm certainly not going anywhere. so makes sense that xmas is starting early this year online. My shopping is all done--have a couple more things to set up to send. My advice---get it now!!! got a few things from AMZ prime day that I have already----my pantry is stocked for any baking and don't need any decors------I'm good-----even T-Day /xmas dinners are in my freezer already. totally believe here in wa state, we will be in lock down again, so am prepared.

I'm in Wa as well and I agree with you that we may go into another lockdown. Our Covid cases are spiking rapidly, especially here on the Eastern side of the State. I plan on having all of my Holiday gifts, food and whatever else finished up soon. And, I actually like the Holiday Shows....it's a nice break from what's going on in the world right now.😊

And how many "QVC Ruined My Christmas!" threads will we see, because people will have waited too long to order something ?

Any guesses?

I.enjoy the shows and watch when I want and turn off when I want. Everybody starts in too early but this year is different for me and I will not be going out amongst the crowds. I have done some shopping out and about but less time out and no crowds. By watching QVC my husband gets to help shop. We do most of our purchases from QVC.

I do not have a lot of people to shop for and just two smaller grandkids. I enjoy making up goody bags for neighbors and friends.

So far wine, Comfy's, Cheryl cookies, candy, Germack, muffins and rolls, tablets, gifts of beauty, bags to wrap and the list goes on. I can also use ship to for family out of state. For me it's a win win. Anything else I use Amazon prime and local stores.

I will be done by Halloween and then I can enjoy Thanksgiving and decorating and watching movies and hanging out.

Did the same pretty much last year only went out and about amongst the crowds more.

Doesn't each one of us have some kinds of show we think there's too much of?

MIne would be all the winter clothes - hard to think of wearing a knit cap and scarf and winter jacket when the temperature hovers above 80 most of the year!

Christmas & all Holiday items are avaliable yesr round on the internet so Q needs their piece of the Holiday sales too so no gasp, faint at the number of Christmas shows....it's a must to stay in business.

There are reports warning people to shop early because inventory is limited and also problems with slow shipping. Reasons why retailers are starting Christmas a bit earlier this year.

However, I don't recall much Christmas at QVC during August and September, so from what I see it's not solid Christmas from July through December that I have heard here previously.

Christmas gifts are just more products sold as is the case throughout the year. I am not seeing much decor sold now.

I said this quite a few times here before and beginning to sound like a broken record; however, I know not everyone reads all the posts. Retailers make up to 30% of their annual sales during the Christmas season, so, of course, they are going to push it. They need it to survive. Retail employees need it to keep their jobs.

QVC is a retailer and behaving like one.

Exactly always the right color, and nobody will want to return it.
