NILES, Ohio - Just one day before Christmas, shoppers were out at the Eastwood Mall buying some last minute gifts. 

“'I'm bored and I’m a bad sibling and I didn't get my brother and sister anything so we're trying to look for something,” Brian Puharich of Howland said. 

Some came to hunt down specific items. 

“We had to get two gifts plus we got gift bags because we not wrapping gifts this year,” Shone Lynk of Hubbard said. 

Others were shopping for those tough family members who said they don't want anything. 

“I have no direction and no guidance so wherever the wind takes me today,” Puharich said. “Whatever I find, I'll find something and I'll give it to them, whatever.”

And with less than 24 hours until exchanges the crowds weren’t an issue. 

“Back home lines is around the corner, traffic can’t move so I loved it (here) we was in and out,” Lynk said. 

“I personally don't feel like there's a huge rush today. There's not a big pro or con to get to the last minute, it's just like you’re here and you can experience it,” Puharich said. 

Even though it's down to the wire, shoppers said the stores were stocked.

“I had to come out yesterday too and everything that I needed I was able to get,” Lynk said. 

And the shopping will continue after Christmas. The National Retail Federation found that 70% of consumers plan to shop the week after Dec 25. The top reasons for shopping then are to use gift cards, return or exchange unwanted gifts and for the sales. 

“New Year's Eve there's always a big sale, there's always going to be that … President's Day, Martin Luther King there's a sale for everything that doesn't sell now, later,” Puharich said.
