I'm doing both online and in store shopping for Christmas.
I like the ease of online unless I have to do returns

I shop online.. Most of the stuff I buy online has deals only in online. Such as giftcards and electronics

I did most of my shopping online this season, and used reward sites to earn kick backs  :)

Online. I don't want to wander on slippery grounds outdoors.

A little of both.

I did almost all my shopping online. The only thing I bought in a store was some wrapping paper at Costco and stamps for holiday cards at the local Post Office. . I even got my holiday cards online at the Museum of Modern Art in NYC website.

All online - It is very difficult and painful for me to get around and I only had my two sons and my sister-in-law to buy for so I did it all online.  Even besides the mobility issue I too can't stand dealing with the crowded stores.  Now I just have to figure out a menu and buy the Christmas food and we'll be set.

I have been doing most of mine on line. I do try to shop at retailers that are easy to return to.

Most, if not all, is done online.   It's easier for me and I  enjoy sitting in my pajamas and doing the shopping.   I do go out to stores at least one time but I never "have to buy" something.   It's just a relaxing time out to enjoy the sites.   If I find something that's a good buy I might get it.

I've gotten a few items all ready online. As soon as my husband gets his Christmas bonus at work, we will finish up.

The majority of my shopping is done online. However,i do prefer to shop locally when I can.
Do tend to shop early. This year I am almost done. :peace: :santa: :wave:

Most on-line & wrapping them as soon as they are delivered.  Such a time saver!!

Forget that. I've actually done both.

I ordered a few things online for Christmas presents, but have bought most of them in the store because I had a $200 gift card from Wal-Mart.  That helped quite a bit.

I got free shipping at Target on a small item I for got to get and it will be here the 20th so I am real happy about that.

A mix of both.

Amazon Prime for me, easy peasy!

I generally do in store because even with electronics I like to see what I am purchasing.  I know they show pictures of the item and even demo videos of some but nothing beats actually seeing it.  The problem I ran into this year is what I wanted for some family members wasn't in the store.  So I had to purchase it on-line.  My problem isn't so much shopping on-line its really the cost of shipping.  All my on-line purchases had to be two-day shipping to make sure they came in time for Christmas.  I usually do my Christmas shopping before Thanksgiving so I don't have to but those items I was sure I could get in store, turned out I couldn't.  So I would say 90percent was in store and about 10 was on-line.  And the on-line cost more because some stores charge for shipping AND tax.  I hate that.

One of the big reasons why I have Amazon Prime where 2 day shipping is free.

I do both online and in store shopping.
I too like Amazon Prime for the 2 day free shipping.
I also appreciate earning cashback by shopping online.

Mostly online and if I am out I will do a little in the stores. I get better deals online and also use ebates.com to get cash back. :)

I like to buy stuff online since it is kind of like sending yourself a present. Then I wait a few days and might even forget about the things I bought until they arrive at my door.  :present:

Post by: jushigi on December 18, 2016, 02:47:00 pm
Online all the way! Never liked going to the store, it's crowded and I most likely will just go into a hundred shops and buy max 1 thing. When I go online I can compare prices, and find my size in seconds  :in-love:

I have done both this year in my Christmas shopping - which is how I usually do it. I enjoy doing a lot of my shopping online, but since most of my online shopping is done on Amazon and my wife and I share the same Amazon account, I sometimes need to do her shopping in person to keep her from accidentally seeing what she is getting from me! It's not hard to see prior ordered items, even if you aren't intentionally snooping.

I usually like to actually see the product in store and have a good look at the packaging etc before I buy, but this year I have purchased more items on-online than ever before. When you buy numerous items you don't feel so ripped off with shipping costs (especially through Amazon) and the return policies these days are very good. It bothers me somewhat that you can never guarantee which day delivery is going to be. I miss so many parcels because I am out shopping, ironically!

90% online. I bought a few things (like stocking stuffers )in stores that I could get in and out. I still started early to make sure I would get everything I wanted.

I'm doing a little bit of both. I think there are advantages and disadvantages to both.
