...shopping that is!
I officially started my Christmas shopping today....from the privacy of my own home.....from the comfy coziness of my ergonomically correct desk chair. And, it all happened with the click of a mouse.
One of my favorite ways to shop is through Amazon*.
I have a "wish list" set up on their website and as I see things throughout the year, I add them to my list. Then when special occasions roll around, the saved item is right there, waiting to be purchased. I'll usually do a little online comparison shopping to ensure that Amazon has the best price; if not, I'll note the other location and take into account their shipping costs. Most of the items, that Amazon sells, have FREE standard shipping (when you have a minimum purchase of $25).
There is an air of anticipation as you await your parcel. Even though I've ordered a gift for someone else, there is still a thrill, an expectancy for the arrival of my package; be it large or small. The sound of a delivery truck pulling up in front of the house sets my heart astir. If I'm quick enough, I can yell out a hearty "thank you" and give a broad wave before they get back into their truck. Nothing says Christmas like the little brown box with the sweeping arrow; or is it a smile?
Now my wait begins....but it won't be long......they reported 2 - 5 days!
Joy in the start of the holiday shopping!

It's funny you should start shopping today, as I was thinking I would need to start shopping soon. Good for you getting a head start on Christmas. I do all my shopping on line also, but not so much on Amazon. I'll have to try it!!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love Amazon too!
ReplyDeleteJudy, Amazon is great! I've always had good luck with them.
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping in Sarah. Hope you are having a great day! :-)
Hey Heather, I love the delivery truck too, but I have to admit we don't do alot of shopping online, we have done a few site to store with Walmart hehe. My shopping is about done, I always start way early in the year when and if I see something on sale or clearance that I think family or a friend would like :o)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea!
ReplyDeleteWish I could say my shopping was about done Lynn; that's great! :-)
