As I sit here looking over the various email receipts I have from Christmas and birthday shopping, I can't help but think about how awesome the internet really is. For the past few years my husband and I have been turning to the internet more and more for various purchases. I'd say that 50% of our Christmas shopping is going to be accomplished online. Five years ago 100% of it was done in stores, and to add insult to injury, in Walmart and K-Mart, just five days before Christmas. Yes, it was as nightmarish as it sounds.
I also buy party supplies online. In fact, I can find some great themes online. Classic Pooh, Hello Kitty and Wow Wow Wubbzy are all great party themes that I was able to find supplies for online. Most stores don't even carry Classic Pooh or Wow Wow Wubbzy toys, let alone specialty items like balloons, streamers and birthday candles!
This leads me to bridal shower supplies. I have never planned a bridal shower, but I helped my mother plan one for her friend. We got ideas from local stores, then headed for the internet to find great deals on all of the stuff we wanted. Even with paying for shipping we saved money, and we enjoyed the convenience of waiting for everything to come to us! :)
