There are somethings I will purchase online and somethings I wont. This year for DD's first Christmas I did all of my shopping in the store. I like to look and test out the toys to make sure it would be something that she will like and something that would be sturdy and hold up through the years. As for my nieces, I will do all of theirs online. They're older and want things that I could buy cheaper online!
I do a mix of both. I have to ship my online purchases to myself, though, so I can inspect and make sure it's really what I want to give to the recipient. My family's gifts will all need to be shipped, so I wish I was able to just buy and ship direct, but I'm crazy and can't do that!
Like @lowea1 said, I also get a kick out of black friday shopping. Not necessarily for the deals, although I always get some things--mostly for the people watching!
