Many presents were ordered through Amazon, and many presents were
either baked or handmade.

And just a few of them were purchased in a store.

I've received 2 of Greg's 3 presents and am hoping that the 3rd one comes
through today.

I had intended to do more shopping online, but as the budget's kind of
tight I didn't want to buy low cost gifts and have to pay a significant fraction
of the gift's cost for shipping. There are place that have free shipping but
there's usually a minimum purchase to qualify. I also had some store
discount coupons to use up.

I did send some Audible gift certificates out via email to a few people who
are tech savvy enough to use them.

I did some shopping but I have not had any deliveries.

A book and a video game for my son from Amazon intended for
Christmas are due in February. I cancelled the priority shipping of course.
I was a little miffed that it was not automatically cancelled given the 45 day
expected delay. If I find the game and book in town I'll cancel the rest too.

No basketball shoes either but that is eBay and models that are not
available here at twice the cost.

In future I am going to avoid online shopping.

The best combo is online catalogue order to local bricks and mortar retail
outlet.

Not only did it save time, but since I entered vendor sites through the
Upromise site (upromise.com) I got money deposited into Kate's college
fund at the same time. Whoo Hoo!
