Holiday Gift Programming

Black Cat Back — Sun, 02 Oct 2022 01:47:59 GMT

I could get into holiday gift programming. It's always nice to think of that time of year already, but I was on overload when QVC had so much of it over the summer. It wasn't just Christmas in July on 7/25, but it was a month of holiday programming in July. It was too much too soon.

Now, it will be holiday/Christmas shopping 24/7. It turns me off since they had so much over the summer.

I know this is now the height of their sales for Christmas, but it's overload for me.

@Black Cat Back

Every show and item from June until 12/24 will be a gift show

No sense watching because the over the top hype and the endless hours of food I've lost my interest.

I flick over to check if it's something I'd be interested in so far my purchases for Christmas from Q = 0!

Agree 100%. Hey maybe they'll give us a break and have a vacuum cleaner show on. LOL

It's too much. Between Bethlahem Lights and Mr. Christmas stuff, I'm just not there.

I would love to see holiday gift programming, if it were gifts such as clothing, etc. I don't give gifts that are Christmas decor. To me, once the gift is opened on Christmas, or shortly before, it's almost time to put it away.

I pay no attention what's to Christmas in July because I love Christmas and look forward to getting into the spirt of the season at the proper time. If I Christmas shop in June or July whatever would I do in mid October and November? Shop or Easter? Also in the past, when I bought things during CIJ, I would put them away and then forget about them because we don't go into Christmas mode until after Thanksgiving. At this stage of my life, I don't need any Christmas decorations but I watch the shows for decorating ideas and color stories. I can do that in October buy not in July.

Bingo! I feel the same way.
