I used to love going to stores back in the day, but unless it's a local store, it's all the same crap. As for me, I tell everyone to either go to an antique store or shop Etsy. Everyone thinks I'm hard to buy for, but I'm really not. All you have to do is look around my house, as you know ;)<br /><br />I HATE the mall too lol<br /><br />xoRuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12110133467260748245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072740790042271296.post-60400838707302413992015-11-23T23:25:11.736-05:002015-11-23T23:25:11.736-05:00Oh, I have never been to a Christmas market, Jan, ...Oh, I have never been to a Christmas market, Jan, that sounds awesome!! :) Kim https://www.blogger.com/profile/15445291034631735026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072740790042271296.post-14785332157352376512015-11-23T23:24:43.867-05:002015-11-23T23:24:43.867-05:00I am a huge T.J.

I shop all year long and have a special basket in my closet with each grands name on it. I buy most everything at T.J.

We've been watching for him all day waiting for my husband's order of PG Tips tea all the way from England...though who wouldn't want to go to England to do some Christmas shopping. ;) <br /><br />We always trade lists in our family & my husband has even gone on Etsy & bought jewelry for me without me having to pick it out in advance. It's so much easier & cheaper when you consider the cost of your time, gas & for us usually a meal out when shopping.

Like you, I avoid malls, especially at Christmas-time. We don't even have a mall close to us (closest one is 40 min.) and that's just fine with me. Local shopping - small, unique stores - can be fun.<br />I like that you bought yourself some presents. :-)<br />Congrats on winning that cute sign!Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08659968511488397366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072740790042271296.post-91440091966544375832015-11-19T20:29:47.003-05:002015-11-19T20:29:47.003-05:00What a wonderful post, Kim!

The mall makes me tired, looking for parking space, overcrowded stores, endless lines and searching for the correct size. Online shopping so much more relaxing, fun and I find the most unique stuff at reasonable prices as well :) Thanks for the share!

The online shop...I like your way of thinking, Kim! The online shopping becomes even more the go-to way of shopping as we get older. We've pretty much reached the age where we don't really "need" anything, but simply get what we "want," and we are both fine with that! I won't be doing it this year, but I've always enjoyed going to the mall during the Christmas hustle, but not to shop, just to enjoy the festivities. We do a lot of shopping on Amazon, and there is a distribution center here in the Phoenix area, so things usually arrive within just a day or two......instant gratification!<br /><br />Congrats on your WIN! That is such a cute sign. I also saw that you are the winner over "At Home With Jemma!"

When the kids were young we left shopping until the last minute, don't really know why though, but we did and I always said that I would love to have the shopping done early and then get dressed up pretty and just walk downtown (we really didn't have malls as such then) and enjoy the sights. Never did it though. One of these days maybe because on line shopping could make it happen..Happy Weekend..JudyJudy at GoldCountryCottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10282585980012016892noreply@blogger.com
