Title: Q of the D - Holiday Shopping
Posted: 1 years ago

Online shopping has made the hassles of the malls a little bit less for those of us who choose to not deal with them. It certainly keeps workers at FedEx, UPS and DHL, not to mention the Postal Service very busy this time of year and for those of us with small children at home, it makes shopping a much easier thing to do. So, how much shopping do you do online for the holidays? Share with us and maybe give us some of your best online sites.

Last year, at my sister in laws suggestion, I did all of my shopping online through Walmart.  It was easy and they were offering free shipping. 

This year, we scaled down the gifts and are going with one family gift and one gift per child.  I just happened upon a few items at Coscto and they were at such a good deal I just couldn't pass them up.

I am glad to be done.  Smile

I do some online shopping, but mix it up.  As much as the crowds can drive me bonkers, I do enjoy the experience.  Plus, I don't always have a plan.

The interesting thing about online shopping is that you have more options.  I picked up a couple games for my cousin through target that were only available online - had I not been shopping online I would not have known about them.

I do a combination of both online and stores.  I LOVE ebay and can not explain the great buys and really cute stuff I get there.

 Otherwise, BestBuy and WalMart online are great.

I normally do most of my shopping at brick and morter stores but this year for some reason I just don't have the time or the energy so most of the gifts I've bought so far (i'm about 85% done) have been online.  I did a lot on Amazon.com.  It's like the one stop shop for everything. I did do a few little personlized picture things off of Snapfish.com too

Mostly we go shopping in person. Best to see what your getting before you purchase it right? I do a bit of shopping online sometimes but I usually enjoy the browsing. :D

I have nerver ever bought anything online. My husband buys things online almost every month he is an online fanatic. I won't mind trying it but just haven't. Even though it gets crazy at the stores I still like to do it because that is one of the times I get to go out without the kids ofcourse.

I would love to shop online but all shopping requires money. lol

I would have to say ideally I'd like to do a little of each. Online is a great place to get things you can't find in the stores. Otherwise, I kinda enjoy the hustle and bustle of the stores...except the checkout! They never have enough registers open anywhere! lol

This year, I have shopped on line more than in past.  However, I have purchased more at the stores in person.
