Present shopping is not easy, exciting (unless it's for ourselves) nor is it satisfying. It is usually done panicked during those two weeks prior to the big day when we are hungover from our work parties, feeling particularly apathetic towards work and when the last thing you want to do is make informed and personal decisions regarding other peoples' well being. Last year this was me, the year before this was me and yada yada yada. In an attempt to alleviate this somewhat, I purchased a heap of items online (too late of course) and no one got their gifts until the second week of January owing to delayed shipping.
This year I am going to become captain organised. What? I am a grown-up with grown-up things going on in my life like... a job, a credit card and a shit load of shoes.
I hopped online last night and purchased a good amount of stuff for my close circle of friends and immediate family. I. am. done. A month out, a few hours in the comfort of my own home with my pj's on (cat on my lap) and a cup of tea - I. am. finished.
How you ask? Well by internet shopping of course. Thank you Urban Outfitters.
Urban Outfitters - The novelty gift mecca. Full of stuff for your body, home and life that you never knew you needed, but then can't understand how you lived without. How did I not own a mirror in the shape of an own before, or a shower curtain with birds on it? Did you know I need a giant floral decal that sticks to my wall that looks like a bedhead? No I didn't either. It is awesome and lots of fun. It makes for hours and hours of fun Christmas shopping that involve the best socks $6.66 can buy. They are also doing free shipping to Australia with orders over $50 and with the list of 20 people I had buy for, that a piece of cake.
Here are a few examples:

Xmas Options Yes please. Where's Wally Hat! |
I hope that hat was for me...
