What to Buy? What to Buy?

I refuse to wander aimlessly into a mall in search of “the perfect Christmas gift” for the folks on my list. Mainly because I do not have time to wander aimlessly (haven’t had that since before August 2004) and also because, to me, that would be extremely frustrating. I mean, let’s face it – shopping without a plan and a purpose is only fun if it’s, well, for me. Heh heh. Last year I pretty much did the bulk of our holiday shopping online and it was dreamy, so I am going for it again this year; only I have no idea what to buy. I would love to stay away from the Macys and the Amazons and purchase unique gifts from boutique or mommade/homemade stores. Any ideas? I decided to go back and check out all of the websites that I’ve been saving to my “Favorites” since August 2004 to revisit when I “had some time.” I did find a couple of good prospects that I had forgotten about, but I still need a few more.
Also – where (oh where?) will you all be buying your holiday toys for your little ones? It seems like Target and Toys R Us are out of the picture in light of all the recalls. Too bad – I was looking forward to getting the girls the Fisher-Price Loving Family Dollhouse, but now I won’t be able to do it in good conscience.
Too bad there really isn’t a Santa. He would make my life so much easier…
