    I live in a small Welsh village. Very little is available locally. On-line shopping is a life-saver for me.

    love love love online shopping.  I planned and executed a whole wedding  by online shopping.  I don't like crowds or the way people go insane right in front of your eyes.  I shopping last night on ebay and got 3 gifts in about 15 minutes.  For me the rush of shopping with everyone else in America is overrated.

    Love online! I have 2 little boys, and finding a babysitter so I can go shop for them is too difficult.  This way, I can sneak in the Christmas shopping when they are napping or at night.  I mean, of course, just when I need to help Santa out a little...

    (My only issue is making sure packages come in plain brown boxes.  The boys are little enough that they won't really ask about a boring looking package, but, obviously if the toys picture is on the outsite, the suprise is ruined.)

    depends on what you need.

    in many smaller communities there are few choices.

    A total blessing. I wouldn't be able to get it done otherwise. Never enough hours in the day for me to get anything done smile
