Isn't it super, super crazy that Christmas is already around the corner?? I still have presents coming in...And, I have not set foot inside a single store for any of my Christmas shopping this year. Call me lazy, call me crazy, or call me what I really am (a hermit studying for my Step 2 exam...which is tomorrow).

But, I seriously love online shopping so much more than shopping retail. Coupons! No parking! No annoying crowds (am I agoraphobic?)! No taxes (sometimes)! My favorite portals to shop for gifts are ShopItToMe (I've been a member since they first started, back in the day, even before the blog), Amazon (Prime! Woohoo!), and eBates (it's miraculous--cash back just for clicking through to your merchant of choice).

I am also a wishlist person. I've had a wishlist since before Amazon wishlists were universal. I've tried them all, but I always go back to Amazon. I'm a wishlist person because I'm incredibly hard to shop for. It's just so hard having opinions about everything. But that's what makes us stylists/editors/designers/photographers/do-it-yourselfers, isn't it? We know what we like and we tend to get it ourselves.
