Yesterday, we talked about getting all of your packages shipped out. If you are feeling behind, you may want to consider having everything shipped directly to your home or those out of town people that you need to get gifts to.
And here is where I want your participation. Tell me your favorite places to shop online (and why) or one of your favorite online shopping stratagies, and one of you will win a $10 Amazon Gift Card. A winner will be drawn December 20th.
I want your best, tips, ideas, your favorite “fishing holes” (the places you would normally never share,) so we can all be faster, cheaper, better this year.
Here’s mine (and no, I don’t expect everyone to go along a spiritual line…) Last year my kids went in together and bought me a goat from World Vision last year. They bought the gift online, then to represent the goat under our Christmas tree, my clever girls, Amanda and Kimberly, folded a towel into a goat by getting the instructions online (in fact, here’s a video on how to fold towels into a goat… Who knew.) What a GREAT last minute gift – helping someone in a developing country by providing a goat.
I of course also love Amazon and how, in case you forgot to get your father-in-law a gift, (who me? Never…) you can pop on there and send him a gift card that will arrive in his inbox on Christmas morning (as if you’d planned it that way all along…)
OK – your turn.
I’ll make sure that I have my final list sorted out by Dec 17 which is Free Shipping Day with hundreds and hundreds of online sites. It takes all the guesswork out of the final purchase cost and they guarantee arrival by Christmas
I like shopping at Target since its closeby But I do alot online now too since I can’t drive! Amazon is where I’m placing an order tomorrow to get my last few too!!
I like to shop at Toys R Us online. I don’t have to worry about trying to find someone to watch my kids while I shop for their gifts. I do it while their sleeping.
