    About 50/50 for me this year. I definitely prefer online.

      50/50 (which is rare...usually I'm 90% online).

        Probably about 90% online. I like browsing online vs. trudging from store to store in hopes of finding what I want.

            Everything online. Today was my only do in the stores to fill in †he gaps…stocking stuffers or random things that were sold out online. Ouch.

            I'm not sure how my mother existed before amazon. It must have been a dark world.

              70% online. It's just so hard to beat Amazons prices and 2 day prime shipping. I was less likely to buy online elsewhere. I'm not find of paying for shipping. Gap got most of my in store purchases

                Anything we could get from a small business was purchased at those retailers. Almost everything else was online.

                  99% online. No time or desire to get to the stores. Amazon saved my life.

                  But I'm making a mental note to shop local small business once we are out of residency and I can 1)afford it and 2) am not working full time (hopefully).

                    99% in store. It was quite simple too. Sent gift baskets to parents and in laws but the rest was basically walking into a store saying "I want to to get _____" . Stuck to smaller and preferably locally owned shops (Allan Edmunds is local ) and come to think of it didn't once step foot into a department store.

                      I was about 50/50 this year. Amazon Prime is the BEST! I'm a crazy person who loves Christmas crowds at the stores, though, so I usually make one trip to the mall/local shops to see what I can find. Whatever I don't find on that trip, I buy online.

                        Mine was probably 50/50 this year. Online was amazon and REI. Brick and mortar was walmart, target, stein mart, tjmaxx and big lots.

                          I had to shop last minute once we arrived to our out of state destination. All of it was in store. I didn't want to pack gifts and drive things round trip. Budget was very tight I only bought for my Mom and our child this year.
