Do You Prefer Christmas Shopping Online Or Shopping In The Store?

I got all my Santa shopping for my kids done last night in the comfort of my own living room. Isn’t the internet great?

    I like to do both, but I find myself with my busy schedule at work, that I do more online shopping. I will a couple of times do the store thing and be amongst the busy shoppers, to get the feel of Christmas rush…but that’s it..

    I prefer to not go within 5 miles of the shopping area during Christmas.
    Unfortunately I can’t get it “all” done online and various trips into the maddening throngs are necessary.

    I like both. The internet is great if you know what you are buying.

    I like to do both, mostly because I send alot of stuff from Harry & David to family. Very handy.
    But I always make an effort to go out and look at the store Christmas decorations. On those days I’m only picking up little things and getting in the holiday mood.

    i prefer online for all the reasons said PLUS. you get better deals online, they don’t hav to display it , you just order from the warehouse.
    Plus I get rebates on everything I buy online. it is silly not to get something for something you already do. If you look under the fun money tab at the site listed below you will see how I do it. It is absolutely free and if you shop online you are silly not to do this. good luck

    Yes, it is if you know how to use it! I much prefer shopping online as opposed to “fighting the masses”!! The mall is no fun anyways, but around the holidays it’s nuts!!! I completed my shopping about 2 weeks ago (have large family so start early)and did at least 85-90% on my computer! Its also cool too when you receive them in the mail..it’s like christmas everytime the mailman shows up with a package! Really convenient if you have out of town relatives and have the gift mailed directly to them instead of wrapping, standing in line at the post office etc., etc..!

    sure the internet is great but how many people are put out of work???
    I prefer to shop in a store where I can see and touch things and take them home that day and KNOW if I have a problem I can go back to the store and get a result…
    I perfer to shop at local stores selling local things – NOT big box stores selling “Made in China” products…
    when we think of Christmas – its not just about the gifts we give our kids its about where these things come from – no point in raping the earth and ruining it for the kids futures….

    Yes! You can buy everything on your list and not have to bother with the crowds in the malls….not to mention how hard it is to actually find a parking spot at malls during the Christmas season!

    At the store,with online orders there is a chance something could go wrong,and then be delayed,so I think its safer to do it online when going christmas shopping

    I looked around on the net, got ideas, then went out Friday. I’d order online but UPS can be a pain when they keep on comming at the times you obviously aren’t home LOL. Plus if you go to the stores you might find something better and at a great deal. (I did)

    i would have to say, that if it weren’t for RIDICULOUS shipping prices, I would do a lot more shopping online.

    instore for sure. You cant pick things up and turn them around and press buttons, online. Internet is great, but leaving the house is great too.
