VIDEO: Last Minute Holiday Hustle And Bustle

ABERDEEN, Miss. (WCBI)- Christmas Eve is already tomorrow and if you’re out and about last minute shopping, you are not alone.

According to recent studies, 76% of adult shoppers plan to shop right up until Christmas!

And Aberdeen’s residents are no exception.

Robin’s Unique Boutique was filled to the brim with last minute shoppers.

Even management say, this is more hectic than previous years.

“This year is different, I feel like everyone waited till the last minute. Like normally, people have it done black Friday or the first week of December, but it’s like everybody waited till the last minute this year,” says Assistant Manager Jamie Bailey.

Luckily, for these shoppers, this store has something for everyone!

Some popular items this year are the classic UGG boots, the ride-in toy cars, and Ronaldo Jewelry.

The store has even adjusted hours to accommodate the procrastinators.

“We’ve been coming in early and staying real late. Like this morning we got here at 8 o’clock, or 7:30 and we opened at 8 and we been busy ever since,” says Bailey.

Last minute shoppers say they are out for all types of reasons.

“I had to get my husband something at the last minute, we kind of don’t exchange gifts but I happened to see something under the tree for myself, so I thought I’d run out and get him something real quick. I have three grand-kids, so there’s always something to get at the last minute,” says shopper Becky Brown.

Despite the crowds people seem to be finding just what they needed.
