Online for sure
In-store, always
In-store shopping gives me the peace of mind that the product I buy will actually be what I expect.

Lucky to live in an urban area now with plenty of great boutique retailers. Keeping Christmas spending local does a lot for the community. And if it’s available here I feel obligated to by it here.

I really prefer to buy locally, and do look, but if I can't get it locally, I'll get it online. Unfortunately, if local businesses' inventory isn't available online, its hard to know what they have.

ReplyI shop both but, as we have no toy stores in town and no decent electronics stores, I find the bulk of my Christmas gifts online.
ReplyChristmas shopping used to be a weeks-long stress fest. Now I get it done in a day. I do worry about the carbon footprint of all that shipping though.
ReplyI recall the fun days of yore of going to an indoor mall, where you are warm w/o a coat, and window shopping, but there are no indoor malls here in Bend. I will shop online for sure.
ReplyI live a distance from Bend & Redmond so in-store isn't always convenient. 95% of my shopping is online, especially for Christmas. I'd only go in-store if I wasn't sure what I was looking at.
