Christmas shopping sucks...

[Daisalana 33]

I haven't shopped in a mall for x-mas in YEARS.

Don't shop at mookiegifts.com though.. they took my $80 and disappeared, I don't even think they're still in business.

Amazon.com is good, we were able to knock on 70% of our shopping there. I also like E-bay too (yes I know, e-bay is evil!).

I LOVE AMAZON! I have done 95% of my Christmas shopping there this year. They almost always have the best price, and it's reliable. I shop Amazon.com all year long, and I keep a perpetual wish list on there, as well as gift ideas for the people in my life. It sends me reminders 3 weeks prior to their special days, birthdays, anniversaries, etc, and I add things as I find them to their gift idea lists, so when I get the reminder for someone's birthday, I already know what to get them. It's AWESOME!!! They have by far one of the best websites out there for online shopping.

Is it really less expensive? I have been searching for something for my son in law, and it was quite a bit more expensive than what I could have gotten it for, if I had shopped earlier. It was on sale about a month ago for $120 but I was too lazy to go shopping.

It's called a Tom Tom- a GPS navigation system.

I want to become an online shopper, because I absolutely hate

Christmas shopping. Plus I live in the middle of nowhere, and I don't have good stores here.

I like shopping in real life. I am one of those who likes to touch the goods before she buys. I am really fussy about how things feel and how they are made; this includes shoes and handbags. And I need to try stuff on now that I have lost weight. I no longer have any idea as to what is going to fit.

And I am fond of shopping in either independent boutiques where I can find unusual stuff or plowing through sale sections and the discount stores. Of course living in the heart of a large city where the public transit is safe makes this very easy for me. I can either walk or take transit just about everywhere. In fact I do a lot of walking while I am shopping.

My mother-in-law, who lives in the suburbs, is often envious of my stuff. I invite her to come downtown for a shopping day but she never does. I have never actually bought anything on-line.

my wife and i use Amazon all the time...i love the product reviews. i compare prices on a lot of things, and when i decide which one i like i order it, but if it's close in price at target, Walmart or bestbuy i go to the store knowing exactly what i'm getting. they are all at the same big intersection 2 miles from my house...zip in and zip out. i rarely buy anything big without checking amazon reviews.

I might add that I NEVER buy clothes, shoes, bedding or towels unless I can put my hands on it and/or try it on first. I'm all about how clothing feels, and that applies to bedding and towels as well. If it doesn't feel good, I won't buy it, no matter how good a deal it is.

add circuit city to the same intersection...just found out there is a new one opening soon. this is especially good as they seem to have lower prices on big screens, and i am collecting gift cards.

I think that's a wonderful policy, especially when purchasing a delicious, chocolate-covered Marine! :faint:

Seriously, some things I feel comfortable buying on-line, but other things I would want to get in person. books and DVDs for example. I don't feel a pressing need to fight the crowds if I'm looking for specific titles. I'd much rather get them shipped right to my door! :clap2:
