7．Sam Martin，24，from Belfast
    I do all my shopping on Christmas Eve because I prefer to get it done quickly．I certainly don't enjoy shopping．It doesn't matter when I shop---I probably won't buy gifts that people will want anyway．I just look at what's for sale and choose from whatever is there．I am never disappointed because I never have any idea what to buy anyone before I get to the shop，and I don't care about getting it at the best price．
Lucy Collins，34，from Liverpool
I've always finished all my shopping by the middle of August．I buy when things are cheap and when I can afford to．I also enjoy trying to buy as many gifts as possible at less than the full price．This year，I've spent￡230 and saved￡695 on the prices．
I think Christmas is a magical time so I like looking for gifts throughout the year．I also like knowing I've bought presents that people will enjoy，rather than picking through whatever is left in the shops on Christmas Eve．
Frankie Bircham，31，from Hertfordshire
I've always finished shopping by the end of September．I like the satisfaction of giving people presents they want---I don't like"Oh，that'll do"．I prefer to buy online so I can compare prices to make sure I'm getting the best possible deal．It's cheaper than travelling into London to go shopping and I can easily return anything I don't like when it arrives．
Andi Euridge，40，from London
     I start my shopping in January and have always finished it by November．I don't like online shopping because then you have the craziness of parcels not arriving in time．
     I live on a tight budget（預(yù)算） and I cannot afford to buy all my gifts with one month's pay．So I prefer picking up a present here and there throughout the year．

As the head of the company，CEO Shi has a lot more to think about．First of all，she has to learn how to make her colleagues work efficiently as the company only opens at weekends due to all their studies．So she established a system to evaluate every one's performance，in terms of punctuality，efficiency，profits knowledge and so on．
" It makes the company more formal，"she said．
