is it better online than the reality malls?

The holidays are coming and we all know what it is like to go shopping around the holidays, just thinking about it can bring an Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhgh to the picture.

Lines are what seems miles long, mostly everyone still has on their winter gear after all it's easier to wear it then to carry it all, hat's coats, gloves.

There are things that are much easier to buy at the store than online the plus side to buying clothes at the mall would be you can try it on yourself, and or if it is for somebody else you can hold it up and say Uhhh that should fit,

What about shoes, online your taking a shot in the dark since different shoe companies make their sizes vary from one maker to another. A size 9 might fit in one brand but not another.

and what about Ebay, they offer great prices, especially in the auctions where it starts out at 99 cents, there are always clothes as well. Just like any other store online, you don't have to fight the crowds, wait in line for what seems like hours. Sitting in your own living room browsing away , sipping a drink, munching on snacks, all the while you save on gas, and fighting the hustle and bustle all around.

Online shopping has come a long, long way, it getting more and more secure,

more and more stores offer money back and fast shipping, Its just more peacful to shop online for so many things this day and age.

One of my favorite out door shopping places is located here on ebay

http://store.auctiva.com/Roboigor there is a large selection of military items, collectables, home electronics, just many things since we camp alot we'll check this place out first. Not to mention shop here for certain holidays.

But on the up and up I prefer online now a days, for most items there are a few other items I still would rather check at the mall, but again it's usually for shoes, or a piece of clothing for somebody else.

I'd like to see the thoughts of others on mall shopping, or online shopping.

Happy Holidays

Hi Charlie! First of all I think it was a very nice idea to bring this topic out in the open. Second, my opinion about malls versus net is that to me depends on the day. I think both of them are fun, and when the sun is shining, i feel happy, i'd rather go to the mall and communicate with everyone on the streets, or talk to people, see people, sit down and drink a coffee for a break... when i'm blue i'd rather surf on the websites and see it there's something out there to cheer me up. Gifts I must admit I prefer to buy them on the stores. I don't know exactly why, maybe because I don't need to wait for the mail and I see in reality what I am buying.

I don't think the time i spend shopping, in my case, has to do with the fact of staying at home and buy it online or going out and get it. Only in the cases when you know exactly what you want and then in ten minutes you're done, because looking for things to buy on internet can take me hours and hours and get lost and buy something totally different than the one i was looking for... but that's me, i assume, i'm always a little bit flying around... :D
