How do you plan to do your shopping this holiday season?

Post by aeroparrot »

Just wondering.
If you want an experience, go to a Jimmy Buffett concert.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Life is short, live long!!

I'd rather be a wiseass than a dumbass.

I've been studying the ads online. Will print them all out today. Get a paper tomorrow, and plan our attack! :) I think the keet is spending the night with a gal pal in exchange for BHA and I to do some of her shopping for her. I think we're going to be at Walmart at 5 am! :)

Usually internet since there are no malls or regular stores here except for Belks.

Will go to some small specialty shops that are great for oddities and whatnots. :D

I plan on doing speed shopping, if I can't get out of the store in less than 1/2 hour I consider the shopping trip a failure. :lol: I hate to shop on a good day, Christmas shopping seems to bring out the worst in people, including me.
what I really mean . . . I wish you were here

I have to find a place that sales bags or single lumps of coal and will give all of my friends a diamond in the making. 8-) Unfortunately those places are not so easy to find in this part of the South...unless you know someone that works a coal-fired generating plant. Nothing like one stop shopping!

Seriously I don't know what I am going to get for someone until I see it...and it "call's me".... since people will usually tell everyone what they want and then might get several of the items.
It has nothing to do with marketing online or in a store, or advertising, just how well I now the person and their likes and tastes.
Roll with the punches, play all of your hunches...come what may...
