Online holiday shopping this year...

Hi Karen, Since malls here are very accessible and you can find everything there, we're not into online shopping. we do the usual way of shopping our stuff. good that you're done with your shopping and you received the first batch already. i hope you have something for me in the last batch of delivery. hehehehe thanks in advance.

That's great, i haven't bought one present, don't feel like getting out &shopping & hate to shop anyway. Idid order ryan a bean bag & they called from the catalog co.& they don't have it in stock, darn it. so i will have to get out & get him something. I use to order some online but haven't in a long time. Ijust give the kids money which they had rather have & can buy what they want. I am so glad u were able to find everything u wanted. Have a great weekend.

Hello my friend PeacefulWmn9 Ji, First of all, I would like to congretulate you for your well planned Chrismas shopping that too online,saving lot of time and money , further avoiding last minute panicky in the family. I did once in 2003 while in US, to send some Gift on first wedding Annivesay of my daughter , which has never reached till date. After that I never dare to do. I on-line shopping, custoer has no voice after customer pays the amount. Customer is at teh mercy of concerned shop-keeper to providethe item in time. So for me I always make my shopping in person.I make in advance and some items I do keep for special occasions due to rebate offered. Wishing you a very happy Chrismas and New Year-2010. May God bless You and have a great time.

Hi Karen, well the duvet I finally managed to order and get delivered to Greece has still not arrived, that's either 3 - 4 weeks, and I'm getting annoyed as it said 8 days and it is certainly needed now on these cold nights, so not to impressed there. I used Amazon to order my sons christmas present as we couldn't see it in the shop in town but my son had seen it previously at one price. I checked on line and it was half the price from the UK as here, so I'm really hoping that one turns up. I also tried to order him some books on line in English and was disgusted with what happened. There is one really cheap online book place but obviously postage is expensive. I went to order some books which on special offer at £10 for 6 books, as I'm in the euro zone they then decided that it would be E20 for exactly the same thing. This is nothing but a rip off as £10 equals approx E10 at the moment. So I find it very difficult to actually do it as either they refuse to deliver here, change the prices, or other such nonsense. Amazon in general now will agree to deliver half an order but not all of it.

Hi Karen, I do some online shopping, but since I have not made much money in my paypal account I have done no shopping online. I will be doing my Christmas Shopping tomorrow. I have to buy for my biggest child (my husband). He is the hardest. He never tells me what he wants. He always tells me I do not need anything. I am hoping by next year to start a Christmas savings account so I can always make sure that my husband and I have money for Christmas. This year the economy had hit us hard because his hours were cut back and I am out of work recent college graduate. I know I can make money on here and now know how much time I need to put on here to make a little extra. I am also going to start making Christmas stuff early and try my hand at selling things at craft fairs and maybe online.

I did most of my shopping online about a year or so ago. I got excellent deals on the items that I got because there was a promotion on Amazon, not to mention, I got free shipping. I love Amazon. I think it's the best way and best place to get anything for any reason. It's great for holiday shopping and great for just those things that you want. I've been shopping with Amazon for years and wouldn't think about going to someone else.

i dont do a whole of shopping online just because i shop all year round for christmas presents and i primarily buy things on sale when i see them for gifts. i did buy a movie off of ebay for my daughter for christmas this year though.

Hey Karen! I love to shop online too! I never used to, but for certain things it makes sense! I haven't done any Christmas shopping online because I haven't decided what I am going to get yet so I just might have to actually go into the stores! I have bought furniture, jewelry, books, cds, and a pair of boots online! I usually am afraid to buy clothes because for myself I always like to try things on first! The boots were a first for me and thankfully they fit perfectly! I have always had good experiences, even when I had to return!

I have not done a lot of on line shopping, but what little I have done has worked out very well. So I will most likely do more in the future

I do some shopping online although I did not do any shopping online this year for Christmas. I thought I was going to have to for a few items but I was able to find everything I needed just here in my local stores. I think I will be doing shopping at amazon for my kids birthdays here in May as long as they have what i am looking for in the right price range. There are some good deals out there and it is convenient for me because we live in a small town so there are some things that we don't have access to without driving miles away so to me online shopping is much easier...

I can't say that I did all of my holiday shopping online this year, but I can honestly say that well over half of my holiday shopping was done online this year. I also used Amazon for my shopping and I am very happy to say that it was a very positive experience. I started mine very early and basically got a batch of presents in every other month throughout the year. I am happy with the money that I was able to save and I am very happy with the fact that the shipping was free. I didn't have to fight the crowds and I was able to find all of the gifts that my family wanted.

For me go shopping on line save me a lot of money and time .But,goshopping in shops will give me a lot of fun especially with the family,it's up to the time.

I'm happy you found a convenient way to get your gifts. :) One year I did the same and it was super easy. But, if I have the time, I really like wandering around the mall and all that stuff.

That sounds like pure heaven to me! Online shopping is wonderful for those that are housebound, find shopping a nightmare, can't deal with crowds, the stress, the frustration, the queues, the list goes on, the beauty of being able to sit in your own home in the warm and just order straight from the computer saves so much aggravation and time, don't forget time is probably more precious than money in our short lifespans! So well done you! I have done a little bit of shopping on line but mainly I tend to get my presents throughout the year, the only problem is storage space and remembering when Christmas finally does come round what presents I have bought and many a time after Christmas I have found presents I have bought and forgotten about! I try to avoid the shops two weeks leading up to Christmas it's hell, pure hell! So I think we can all benefit from your wonderful idea Karen!

Hi there Karen I did my present Shopping on line as I do not need to buy the Food, I am going to stay at my Daughters so we will go shopping together when I get there But it was great to buy the little Presents on line as again no pushing or anything

This year we are also doing some online shopping. Usually we don't buy online much. Personally I prefer to see the things before I buy. But this time we got some good deal online with free shipping and these days weather also not good to go around, so we did some online shopping.

I did that last year and it was very easy I waited till last minute but I was still able to get all the gifts there by Christmas Eve. I dont live near any of my family so it was easy to send all the stuuf to my Sister and she wrapped everything and put it under the family tree for me. I did it all on my lunch break while having a sandwhich and it was done in just 2 luch breaks so that was record time for me.

i love shopping online. but amazon , i think that we can't order on that cause i am from the philippines, if it is possible the shipping fees is way too expensive. so it will not save me money.

Online shopping is helpful for people who hate to spend time for shopping. I also do online shopping, but not much. I don't prefer to buy clothes online. Do you think Amazon has very good deals? I love going to a shop and buy things. Shopping is a stress breaker for me. So, I don't do much online shopping. But, I always check offers in various famous online shopping malls. Recently, I saw a good offer with a famous brand lipstick. I decided to buy at first, then I thought the factor of expiry date. I think some things which are on sale will have a very short to expiry. We have the zoom option to see things before buying in online shopping malls, but think about these types of hidden issues which should not make you lose your money.
