    Shopping online is a little easier but I prefer to shop in store because you can actually be hands on with the product and getting a closer look at the quality & functions more accurately.

    I like shopping at the store. I enjoy the time with family or firends or whoever i go shopping with and when walking around a store you might find something for a person you didnt think of before unlike online shopping which only looks for what you are searching for

    I do not like to shop on line because, I am not interested in paying shipping and handling costs for products. When products are not suitable, it becomes difficult and expensive sending them back.

    I shop all year for the holidays, pick up a gift when I find it for the that certain person. I also make a point of not shopping on line as I will not give out my credit card onformation.
