It's so much easier to shop online now. I just order everything to be delivered in gift wrapping at the place it needs to go! Done!

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.

I 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.

Christmas 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.

I 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.

I 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.

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.

Our local businesses need our support

I like to support my local stores. Besides that how can I buy my big meal deals at Food4Less and donate to Shepherd's house + Bethlehem Inn. I also buy 50 lb of spuds + 25 lb of onions give to each.

Our local businesses need our support all year long, the Holiday season the most. Too many stores are closing because of many people buying online. I like to see the product for myself when I buy ii.
