Ten Reasons to do your Christmas Shopping on the Internet

1. You don’t have to get up off the couch/out of bed/ leave the house! Buy all those pesky Christmas presents from the comfort of your favorite recliner.

2. No driving. Who wants to battle it out in the mall parking lot for a spot closer to the doors with that soccer mom’s SUV, or maneuver around the pedestrians running all over the place with no thought to their surroundings? Not me, that’s who. Plus, you save on gas.

3. It’s easier to compare prices. You don’t have to walk form store to store trying to remember what place is selling cheaper boots when you’re trying to save some money. Just  search the web and in a few minutes you know exactly who has the best price on your items. Plus, you save yourself the irritation of buying something and finding it cheaper in the next store you walk to. Your blood pressure will thank you.

4. There are more options. Stores only carry so many variations in stock, and if you’re looking for a laptop cover for your son, the pink one that hasn’t sold out yet probably isn’t going to cut it.

5. No annoying store attendants! You’re allowed to look at an item for as long as you want without a helpful employee coming up to you to ask if you need help finding something. If I need help, I’ll ask! It wouldn’t be so bad if I hadn’t already answered that question four times.

6.  No one will pepper spray you in the store.

7. You can check other people’s opinions on an item before you purchase it. Having reviews to read could let you know whether or not this remote-control helicopter is going to break after the first  us or not is a good thing to know before dropping money for it.

8. You can shop for everyone in one place, instead of wandering aimlessly around the mall you really don’t know that well to get a different thing for everyone.

9. It saves time. The holidays are busy enough as it is without having to find time around work and family get-togethers to go shopping.

10. Multi-tasking! You get to read my blog and shop at the same time!
