The festive period is one of the most stressful of the year, however, buying Christmas hampers in plenty of time can help alleviate the pressures many face. Neil Shah, director of The Stress Management Society, said the key is not to leave everything to the last minute. He recommended writing out a list of all the tasks that need to be done and prioritising them. Those that are deemed non-essential can be delegated to others, thereby reducing the stress associated with this time of year. "Take action now and make sure it's a holiday to remember, rather than one that raises your blood pressure," Mr Shah noted. Buying Christmas hampers for loved ones could help make their festive period more enjoyable and less stressful, as the expert noted that food preparation is one of the biggest tasks faced by many and any help in this area can make a big difference. According to Amazon.co.uk, December 5th will be the busiest day for Christmas shopping.
