CNN.com is reporting today that a full 41 million Americans have not even begun their Christmas shopping. The biggest procrastinators? Surprise, surprise -- men, and those in the 35- to 44-year-old age range. In this group, 21 percent said they had not started spending their holiday cash.
I'm in the age range of those who haven't even started shopping yet, but I can't say I'm in the same boat as those folks. Unusually for me, I'm just about done. Typically by this time of year I have stressed myself out by waiting to buy some gift that is just about impossible to get just days before Christmas. That didn't happen to me this year for some reason, so all is well in my pre-Christmas state of mind.
Last year people were driving all over in search of the elusive Wii gaming system, but I know a few families who will have one under their tree this year without much stress and struggle.
So what are the hard-to-find gifts this Christmas?
