I usually start when I spot some ad that looks like it is presenting something that would make a great gift. It has happened as early as mid January. I usually spot enough items through the year that I am done by the end of August or maybe September.
2024 has been an odd year for me. I have not spotted anything in particular that seems to fit the bill and now here I am without even starting. I only have a couple of weeks to get it all done. Guess I'll have to wander the isles in local stores. Have not done that in years.
I'm thinking of just buying a fistful of lottery scratch off cards to stick in the branches of the tree. I'll also have to go to Spencer's Gifts to buy a pack of fake $10000 winners to add to the mix.

(They get really excited at those until they read the fine print on the back.)
