We all know that holiday shopping gets stressful fast. Aside from budget and difficult family members to shop for, the timing of your purchases is tricky. If you shop too late, there may be nothing left to put under the tree (or you risk paying a higher price). But if you start too early, you risk missing the return window. That's why the best gift buying strategy this year is to choose stores with extended return policies and use those policies to keep looking for a better deal in the meantime.
