Just that really. Has anyone else ordered the majority of their Christmas presents online?
I can't stand physically shopping, and queuing and masses of people.
I have a feeling the Amazon man already hates me!

Have done for about 15 years. This year has been an exception as I no longer live rurally.

I've done most of mine online. I did a couple of quick trips into town to get a few bits & pieces, but that's all. Online is so much easier, and I get everything delivered to work.

I don't do an online food shop though, I prefer to do it myself. I'll do the big shop on Saturday, and DH will pop out on the morning of Xmas Eve to get the last minute things locally.

Not in the slightest! 98% of presents have been bought online (other 2% was stuff collected over the year from various markets/stalls/anywhere that had something that I saw and thought "ooh perfect for X!"). Food ordered from farm shop online although do have to collect in person have an order number, emailed receipt and time slot to collect. Other food ordered online for delivery. Booze already ordered and delivered. Have saved a fortune financially, in time as well and have saved the locals from the unfortunate experience of putting up with me in a physical shop. Do it, save your orders as favourites and next year you simply click "reorder Christmas faves!" Merry Christmas x

All bought pre Halloween.

I dislike online shopping because I am never there for deliveries and neighbours are all out working like me too. Then I have to go to the depot to pick it up. Sheesh.

May as well just go and buy it, see it, feel it, like it and then buy it and put in the boot of the car. Stash it away in the secret hidey hole and job done.

I never shop for anything in November December. Well apart from the food stuffs and that is before nine o clock in the morning when the kids are being dropped off to school, or pick up time for kids. Perfect timing!

All kids here gone so I am sorry if I offended anyone, it is just a logistical thing for the timings.
