If it seems like your to-do list keeps growing longer as the holidays draw near, you may be getting impatient — but you’re definitely not alone. There’s a collective struggle occurring when it comes to holiday prep, and the current global supply chain crisis has a lot to do with it.

After all, it’s hard to host a holiday celebration or put gifts under the tree when everything’s either in limited supply, completely sold out or subject to mass delivery delays. The National Retail Federation predicts record-shattering online sales this year, to boot. So give yourself a break and listen to what the experts have to say about navigating a tricky season.

“This year, buy everything before Black Friday!” says Kristen Gall, Shopping & Retail Expert at Rakuten Rewards, to Yahoo Life.“Inventory issues will be a problem across the board, and most retailers have started their sales early this year. If you see a good price on an item that is critical, scoop it up.”

Buy all your customized gifts, decor and cards at Shutterfly and enjoy up to 50 percent off everything site-wide!
