Christmas Shopping

We have less than a week before Christmas, and some of us have not started our Christmas shopping yet and some of you may have already. We wanted to ask you all few questions, please let us know your thoughts.

Do you find any shops accessible or do you prefer online shopping instead?

What experiences and tips and hints do you have?

I have also done some internet shopping but generally this has been for experience vouchers (spa days, theatre tickets, gig tickets.)
I have been to two CHristmas markets this year and found both were not very wheelchair friendly which was a huge disapointment.

I do miss going around looking at Christmas things.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Happy to hear you're almost done with your Christmas shopping. I love that you're supporting independent stores. Sorry to hear the Christmas markets were not as accessible.
Thanks for sharing this with us. Yes I think people should try their independent stores and butchers. That's a really good idea, due to sales and last minute shoppers. It does get overcrowded and overwhelming.
Thank you for sharing this with us. It's unfortunate, for the independent stores and loyal customers, when a big name brand takes over. I hope you have a lovely online shopping experience.
Thank you for sharing this with us. That's good to hear, The Works have a good range of products. I hope it all goes well with your online shopping.
I shop mainly online
My favourite shopping trip for this time of year is our local ASDA. Open 24 hours, no trafic on the road, hardly anyone in the store, easy to find help if I need it. I just love that 2am shopping.
As an individual I stood alone.
As a member of a group I did things.
As part of a community I helped to create change!
Thank you for sharing with us. That's good to hear. Oh I hope so too *fingers crossed*
That's awesome to hear. Thanks @Pippa_Scope
Thanks for sharing this with us. Yes, online shopping has been a relief for many. Happy you have that out the way now, have a lovely Christmas.
Oh, 10 years ago!
Have a lovely Christmas.
