Dan Evans, a Consumer Expert at www.hotukdeals.com who complied the list of deadlines, said: “Christmas shopping can be a stressful time, especially when you’re juggling busy schedules and trying to find the perfect gifts.”

However, the West Midlands is home to several bustling high streets, town centres and shopping centres that have adjusted their opening hours for the busy Christmas period. 

If you prefer doing your Christmas shopping in person, the likes of Merry Hill Shopping Centre and Birmingham’ Bullring Shopping Centre will be open until 10pm Monday to Friday from December 16 until December 22.

Whether shopping online or in person, make sure you do not leave it too late!
