I got an old laptop from 2006. For a total of 300 or so dollars on amazon, I give it a new processor, more RAM, a new battery, and a new operating system. That would've cost at least $150 more to buy from stores.

I wondered the same thing. However, the older I get, the more of a home body I am that doesn't want to fight the Christmas crowd. Perhaps I'm not the only one.

I'm willing to be smart, plan ahead, buy online and wait a couple of days for stuff to arrive to my door step if it will save me hours and hours of having to shop in stores with my kids in check out lines and driving to and from.
I still shop at momma/kid friendly stores.

Two words: Amazon Prime. A local company with a great selection, great service, and with Prime (free for the first month), free shipping. I'll also be supporting another great local company, Costco.com. Also some local chainsaw carvers, but mostly online.

Buying everything online is what is killing this economy. You are putting the money into a hand full of the wealthy. I'm not saying don't buy online but if everyone avoided the 'Box' stores and bought locally, then that would be a huge jump start.

Some online, most mostly in store shopping. I like getting out and finding things that are new or different. All clothes will be bought IN store. Never online. Have to touch it.

Yeah, but when you are older you may have less time to go shopping. Also, many in the younger generation enjoy shopping.

Already started both three weeks ago. I like to be done by the first week of December so I can enjoy the month stress free.

I do most of my shopping in general in stores versus online. However, my family donates to charity as gifts for each other, so we don't really do holiday shopping anyway.

Online-- I'd rather designate a morning at home to shopping. Make a cup of cocoa, stoke the fireplace and curl up on the couch w/ the iPad or laptop. That way you don't fight crowds and traffic. You save the fuel and time for driving 250 miles to the city. I can make a great meal and save that $ too

Mostly online because it's more convenient & the prices are lower. For things not bought online, I plan to shop local merchants instead of national chains.

It'll be pretty close I think. There are great stores in my town (Target, Best Buy, Costco, Walmart, Kohls) and a whole shopping center of brand name outlet stores, but still sometimes the perfect gift can only be found on amazon, etsy, ebay, or thinkgeek. ;)

Online because I'm a 90 pound 19 year old girl with back problems and my risk of getting injured is pretty high.

I am thinking of trying Amazon for all my Xmas shopping this year. I hate all the walking and driving to stores and dealing with the masses.

It funny, I've actually gotten tired of online shopping. There is something about holding a product in my hand that I really like. Helps me make a decision. I love the small boutique stuff; avoid the walmarts and targets.
