Thank goodness for online shopping. I ordered gifts for all my nieces on ToysRUs.com and had them shipped directly to them (no wrapping and no trip to the Post Office). My husband and I left the baby with my mother last night and we went to Toys R Us at 8pm and did all of our shopping (there were hardly any shoppers there that late on a Monday night). The in-laws are getting gift certificate to a restaurant and my mom is getting a flight to go visit my sister and her kids! Holiday shopping DONE!

just to let you know... Safeway stores carry over 300 gift cards to meet your holiday gift needs! They have cards for stores like Nordstrom, Macys, and even best buy. It's nice because you can save time and you don't have to step foot in a crowded mall.

I've tried shopping online while I'm on hold with someone at work!! It works believe it or not!!
