So, I have to admit that even though I work in online retailing...I've never been an online Christmas shopper myself. Something about hitting the malls and finding the perfect gift in person always appealed to me. Last Saturday I set out on one of these missions, dragging my husband along with me. (He hates shopping!) We hit the malls hard...and I was exhausted by it all before we could even find a parking spot. I don't know why I was so surprised by this because every year is the same. We wander the mall looking for the perfect gift for hours, can't find what we're looking for, buy nothing, and leave frustrated.
So, after spending all day accomplishing nothing...we hit the web. Now, this is something that I've never done before...purchased a gift online...Gasp! But, I have to say that it was a wonderful experience!!! I sat on the couch in my PJs, drinking tea, and went from store to store...and back at my leisure. My husband thought it was great because he could watch football while we shopped. We bought all our gifts in about an hour. I felt like I got a deal...which I love!!! And the best part, everything comes gift wrapped (one last thing for me to worry about), shipping was free...and I don't have to go stand in line at the post office with all the other holiday shoppers who haven't discovered the joy of shopping online. I will never go back to my old ways...and I don't think I'm going to miss the mall one bit!
