I always start with ebates.com or mypoints.com and then move on to the stores. I love ebates because you get cash back and mypoints you receive gift cards. I LOVED the convenience of online shopping this year. Also, Wal-mart now has site to store. You can go through ebates . . .to get to Wal-mart.com shop and then have it sent to your store for FREE. I used this a lot this year! Emily SHS This year I did about 75% of my Christmas shopping online. I always start with ebates.com or mypoints.com and then move on to the stores.

The greatest gift idea, if you still need one, is what I got for my wife. It's...wait...she reads this blog. Oh, well. sorry. Shopping online is awesome!

We also like the catalog, "Back to Basics Toys"...lots of old fashioned toys and GREAT games! Hi Tim and Kathy,

Sometimes I price compare quite a bit, or do gift research online. Amazon's usually my favorite because of the prices, reviews, and free shipping. Last year, amazon bombed; I waited until Dec. to order, and almost everything was out of stock, or couldn't be delivered on time. This year, we ordered half a dozen times or more from the site, some as recently as last week.

I used snapfish to make photobooks of the grandkids for my in-laws. They turned out really cute and snapfish had them on sale for a very reasonable price at the beginning of this month. They're going to love it. Now what am I going to do next year... I’ve just recently started reading your blog and really enjoy it. I used snapfish to make photobooks of the grandkids for my in-laws.

And not too pricey, either... a pleasant surprise! (Now let's just hope that they get to California in one piece!)
