About 4 years ago - after an exhausting (and generally fruitless) day shopping for Christmas gifts - I finally made myself a promise.
And it was this - to try and do as much shopping for Christmas gifts as possible online, from the comfort of my own home.
And boy am I glad I did that. Sure there have been a few hair-raising situations like the year nothing turned up till a few days before Christmas (I was sweating then - but it was my own fault for ordering late!). But overall, there is nothing nicer than sitting at my computer one evening, with a nice cup of tea, the heating on, a bit of music, and browsing through websites just like this one.
You can add good sites to your favourites, it’s easy to shop around, there’s loads of information around, there are no queues, no waiting, no getting elbowed, no carrying heavy bags around, no getting cold or wet.
If you haven’t tried it yet I would strongly recommend it. Now over 90% of my Christmas gifts are bought online and it’s just the easiest way I’ve found of doing things.
Have you made yourself the promise yet?!
