There are many advantages to shopping online:

Choice:
Even if you live in a big city, youd have to be prepared to shop in multiple districts to get the same choice that you would have online. Most high street retailers now have a presence on the internet in any case and you may find that the website could offer more choice than your local store. In addition to big brand names, there are also lots of specialist sites on the internet which only have an online presence. Such online specialists include CCL a computer system and accessory specialist, Justtoys -with toys for kids and big kids ( http://www.justtoys.com/ ) and ChristmasHamper.com ( http://www.christmashamper.com/ )or Highland Fayre which specialise in luxury food and drink hampers.
Lower prices:
Many websites offer minimal delivery charges and because they dont have the same costs as a bricks and mortar business, their prices to the consumer are often lower. Most transactions on the internet start with a search engine, but this is not the only method of research that you can do for your Christmas shopping. Perhaps you have heard of price comparison sites which exist for very specific markets such as personal finance like moneynet.co.uk ( http://www.moneynet.co.uk/ ) or for more general shopping services (Kelkoo, Ciao ). These sites act as mini search engines and they will collect data from a range of services showing the results of products with the lowest prices.
