Any Questions on Where to Buy Toys this Holiday?

Should we buy toys in store, or online, or elsewhere?
As you are probably well aware, Thanksgiving is less than a week away. This is a wonderful time of the year where people get together. They put the petty matters of life aside and enjoy their time with each other. We even take the time to exchange gifts with one another at the end of December. This magnitude of a celebration comes around only once a year, and people go big. We don't, however, have to spend big to give big. Welcome to the electronic age, where shopping could be one click away. The convenience is not the only reason we shop online.
I have discovered that the priciest of all my loved ones shopping lists is actually my children's list! I would not have guessed such, considering all they are asking me to do is buy toys that they see on TV. All are plastic, and most likely made in China with cheap labor. How is it, then, that when I walk into the toy store I walk out feeling raped and pillaged? That is why I have dedicated all of my shopping this holiday to online. Now, the only issue I worry about is one of my kids seeing the presents that I have shipped here; I have even devised a plan to avoid that!
I suspect the price reduction of online shopping has something to do with the vast selection online. There are so many stores out there trying to get a piece of my pie, that there is a fierce price competition. That competition translates into big savings for me. I save even more with free shipping and no tax! Piece that together with the limited deals on toys found all throughout the internet, we see some huge savings. Never again will I limit myself to the selection presented to me in the stores. I am free internet shopper now, and it feels great!
