I was sick (and I am still sick) for the whole month of November. Something went wrong with my ear, nose and throw (ENT) so I am still on my medication right now. However, I was still managed toi build up a new website for online shopping a nd pick the best gift for everyone. You can just simply check the website from my profile and you will immediately see it.Maybe you can fined something for yourself as well.I am dnot sure if I have the strength to go for shopping in this Christmas due to my physical condition. But I think online shopping will really solve lots of problem for me and it is a good idea to sve my time as well. What do you think ?Share with us.

Haha I haven't even started. Why? I'm completely broke. I'll do my best but I won't be able to buy much. I will buy only my closest friends and family will be getting anything from me. Online shopping is so much easier than going to store and fighting crowds and waiting in line. I think that the cost of shipping is more than worth the hassle of going to the mall around the Christmas season.

I just open the personal online bank yesterday, it could help me save the money and time to buy the christmas gift. I'm really tired of lining up in the shopping mall, I hate to find something I want in the crowds. So I want to get some books for my kids and get something for my parents to show my love with them. Purhase online is a good way to fulfill my willing.

I mostly get my christmas shopping straight after christmas for the year after, yes it means i have to store the presents away for about a year but with the great bargains that i get i can save a fortune, i do keep some money left over for the end of the year just incase there is some other things that i need to buy but i am sensible with money and i go out of my way to find a bargain. I don't shop online, i never have, i prefer to go into a store and actually see properly and feel the product that i want. Also you can still get some good discounts when shopping in the store, plus it is also less lazy as i see online shopping as a lazy way to shop, but for some they may not have the time to shop or may not be mobile enough to be able to go out so for them i understand.

Yes, I can understand that there are some people who just wnated to feel the products and see the products with their own eyes before buying anything. That si agood way to shop like that when you have time. However, there just so many peolle in today's society that they don't have time to do shopping like that. In our city , there are ome people who will work 7 days week and from morning till night just because of they want to earn a living. Some of the parents don't even have time to be with their children as well. Somehow, I think that their job really cost their family. Mnay of their children have joined the gangsster just because their parents never care about them. I wish things can be changed and more children can feel the love from their parents . The parents really need to sho how much they love their kids , otherwise they will lost their next generation even they can earn lots of money.I wish you can enjoy your time during Christmas and have yourself a nice treat in thsi great saeson. Have a good day.

I think online shopping is good for stuffs that doesn't need to be fit like clothes. I am not very good with estimating measurements and sizes. Toys or books are ideal things to buy online. I guess it really is more convenient to buy online especially for people who doesn't get the chance to go around malls and shop.

I haven't even started my christmas shopping yet. I have no money to get anything but I believe christmas isn't about the gifts. It's about being with family and friends. My family knows i'm goin through a rough time and just have enough money to get my bills paid and that's about it, so their not worried if I can't get them anything for christmas. But I'm hoping to get some more money here soon so I can atleast get them a little something. I hate this time of year because it always makes u broke. But next year i'm going to buy gifts all year round and then save it for christmas time so I dont wait til last minute and not have money to buy gifts. Sounds like a easier plan. But with the way the economy is its hard to do anything because its so expensive.

I agree with you that Christmas is not about money. It is about family and friends as well. I think it is truely an occasion to share your love with all your family members and friends as well. It would be nice if we have money to buy them something for Christmas but not everyone is rich enough to do so. Just like me, I am really poor in this christmas and I acn onky afford to buy some craft and put more creativity on it as a gift for others. Christmas is about love. About how God loves us by sending His only begotten son ,Jesus, to this world to save us from sin.It is truely a big day for celebration and it is also a time for family union and express our love and care to them all. I wish you will enjoy your Christmas and you know what I am asking for God in this Christmas in prayer ? I only ask for twoi things : I can recover from my present health situation and a job for me. I think that will the best gift for me in this special occasion. Anyway, God bless you and your family and have a happy Christmas.

I have bought more than 40 pieces of sand painting paper for my kid. This is a kind of painting with colorful sands. And my little Eric will share these with his classmates in the kindergarden before Christmas. Also we'd like to make some christmas cards for the teachers and friends by ourselves . And gifts for my parents are also ready. Only the gift for my husband is still in the air. Wish I could take care of it soon.
All these things are bought as online shopping. I enjoy it. Cause it can save a lot of time for me and the prices are lower.
Wish you could get well soon. A new year is coming and everything is going to be Okay.

Oh, you have a little kid named Eric? It is goo to see the kids can celebrate christmas together . Kids are always important during such a season since they are just so lovely and God loves them all.Since you love online shopping and I hope that you can find something good for your husband as well. You are right and New year is coming too. Times really goes by fast and we will say goodbye to 2010 very soon. When I look back , 2010 wasn't a very happy year for me. Why ? It is because I am still out of job and I am sick. The only thing that I think I am still alive. I have already learnt that as long as I survive, I will have hope no matter how bad the situation was nad is for me at the moment. I will hang on there and things will be changeg by tomorrow. I believe that God is tsill in control of my life and I just keep trsuting my Lord and He will never failed me. In fact, I was the one hwo always failed Him. I hope to see lots of exciting things happen in nthe year to come. I can still singing with joy and galdness even when I am in a hard time. I think all this things can seoon be over and te sky will turns blue again. Anyway, enjoy your Christmas with yiur family and enjoy all the food in Christmas as well.

aww sorry that you're feeling sick, guess that makes both of us ^^'
i acutually haven't even started yet Christmas shopping.. we always kinda were a last minute shoppers.. guess my parents either love the crowds, or they like to gather as much money they can for the shopping
you should really consider shopping online, at least this year. is about the same, except for the fact that online you actually have a sense of money when you shop, whereas when you're phisically in a shop, you just keep adding in the cart ^^'
Happy Christmas and happy online shopping, if you decide that :)

I'm still lacking one or two gifts to be done with my Christmas shopping for this year. However that does mean that I am about 95% of the way done with my shopping as well. That said, I would say that I did about 50% of my shopping this year online because of the fact that I was able to earn gift cards so that I could do my online shopping pretty much for free. I really like the convenience of online shopping because it means that we don't have to get out in the crowds to be able to get our shopping done.

Hi there! sad to hear that from you. I do hope that you will feel okay continiously in the next couple of days. As for me, I will just give gifts to my little god children and cash to the older ones. I never have enough time to buy gift as of the moment for I am in a bed rest state now. My OB Gyne asked me to do this for the sake of my 2 month old baby that's having a small gestational sac. I just obey what she ordered for I wanted my baby to survive and improve into a normal condition just perfect for her age right now. Have a nice day ahead!
