Unfortunately I’ve been that shopper who has been clogging up the mall with my many shopping bags (made extra large because of box requests), also I’m usually carrying a heavy winter jackets matched perfectly with an oversized purse.  Fortunately I also have been a “wise Christmas shopper” who has done a LOT of shopping from the comfort of my own home… online!  Many people are skeptical of online purchases, there is always the chance something won’t  fit properly; however, many web-stores provide ways for you to exchange, or even just get your money back if you are unhappy with your purchase.  Rest assure, online is the best way to avoid the malls- and maybe even purchase an item you that is unavailable in your city!  These are my top 10 online stores to order from… that I have either had great success- or in the midst of ordering from!
