Christmas Shopping idea

I plan to do 90% of my Christmas shopping online this year. There are so many reasons why I am choosing that option.

  1. I hate the crowds.
  2. I can more easily search for the best deals.
  3. I can find online coupons.
  4. I don't have to drive in the snow and cold.
  5. No gas prices to worry about!
  6. Many places have free shipping.
  7. I don't have to drive in the snow and cold!

Even deciding to do my shopping online was a bit tricky. I want to utilize my time, money, and get the best deals.



I found Shop.com recently and I plan to use them quite a bit. They have tons of stores that are partners. So I search for the item I am looking for and all the stores that carry it show up. I can then comparison shop right there. I can also look up coupon codes and sales right on Shop.com's website. There are even articles on things that I may need, like How to Buy a "Green" Computer or 50 Holiday Home Gifts Under $50.

I think the best part is that many of the items can be purchased right on Shop.com's site through One Cart purchase! I just load up my cart from several stores at once and check out one time. Now that is convenient! I wish more stores were on the One Cart program, but even the ones that are not have direct links right to the item you want, so it isn't very time consuming to get what you find.





I found this MarioKart Racing for the Wii at several stores on the website. This is a difficult game to find, so I was very happy! Plus, I found it with free shipping, making me so much more happy! I don't have to run all over town trying to find a Walmart or GameStop or Best Buy that actually has it in stock. And when I say "town" I mean several towns around here, because our dinky town doesn't have many stores.


I saved time, money, gas and effort! Plus, the kids are going to be so happy, all of them want this for Christmas.

Thank you Mom Central for this great website to review!

Cool Beans! I have been using Overstock.com and Amazon.com for their clearence items. We dont do christmas big we try to teach the kids the true meaning. But since Hubby is gone for 3 weeks I hate to drive in CA I am left to do it all online which if fine by me as long as I can find a Mariposa barbie for my 2 year old.
