One of the best feelings in the world is the satisfaction you get when December 1 rolls around and you have most of your Christmas shopping done. Instead of being that parent frantically scouring the toy section, you can leisurely pick up some wrapping paper, enjoy the Christmas carols piping through the centre’s sound system and be ever-grateful you got your ducks in a row early.
To help you achieve this super-human level of organisation, here are our top picks for early Christmas shopping. They are all available under one roof, at Kawana Shoppingworld.
