Online, Not In Line
December 2009 - By Long Island Press
One of the greatest conveniences brought on by the Internet has been online shopping. The prospect of rolling out of bed, clad in pajamas, eating a bowl of cereal and going shopping for a new jacket or pair of shoes would bring on awkward stares from fellow shoppers and a question or two from mall security.
The advent and proliferation of the World Wide Web has made that possible, but also created a problem—trying clothes on through a computer screen is not exactly feasible. So while clothing shopping hasn’t necessarily become easier, another type of holiday shopping has—gift card shopping. Two great websites — www.giftcards.com and www.clubsgalore.com — offer an almost endless amount of gift cards for virtually any personality. Cards can be personalized with a recipient’s name and message and come in gift boxes that scream "I put thought into this, even though I really didn’t." GiftCards.com even lets you redeem old and unwanted gift cards for cold hard cash.
