While Christmas shopping can be one of the most stressful times for some people, Hollywood couple Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have their own ways of doing it that can take some of the pressure off.

Ben Affleck Talks about 'Very Gossipy Female Things?'

On Wednesday, In Style posted an interview with Affleck who mentioned that he and his wife don't wait to do their shopping- they make sure to get to the stores before Thanksgiving.

"The secret is to go before Thanksgiving because everyone has it in their mind that you don't shop for Christmas gifts until Thanksgiving comes, and then the stores are immediately packed," the actor said. "Jen and I just did a bunch of our holiday shopping. We had a nice time- we were just at FAO Schwarz and it was pretty light."

Affleck also pointed out that shoppers don't necessarily have to save their shopping time for the day after Thanksgiving.

"I know there's Black Friday, but I think if you get out there earlier than that, you're okay and the savings probably aren't even that different," he said. "There are plenty of pre-Thanksgiving sales."

The Gone Girl star then mentioned another strategy that shoppers might want to try out since it could save on a lot of stress.

"There are people who might get the same gift in the mail," Affleck joked. "Find something that works for multiple people, that's the key. If you try to individually pick something for every single person, you're going to have to do more work."
