Those Christmas gifts you are looking to buy this season might not be in stock.
Blame it on supply chain issues related to the ongoing pandemic.
A new poll from Angus Reid says 49 per cent of respondents are finding it difficult to find those gifts at local stores.
Forty per cent said they were having the same issues shopping online.
Sixty per cent admit to starting their Christmas shopping early as a means to dealing with the limited or lack of available products.
Three-in-ten Canadians are also spending less this Christmas while 19 per cent will increase their gift buying.
