HOCINE YAICHE MOODYS
“I am always a last minute shopper, so I have never actually done my Christmas shopping online. It is also a bit a problem doing it online as you then have to get it delivered, and are at work most of the time. But I do think the trend is probably more towards doing it online.”

MERRAN CONVERY ASPEN
“I will be doing all of my shopping online. It is not so much to do with price, but more the convenience. I won’t miss the high street experience, I don’t like struggling against the crowds. By doing it online, you can just get it delivered and all you have to worry about is wrapping it up!”

JONATHAN DUNCAN
EVOLUTION GROUP
“I will probably go to the stores because I won’t have a clue what I want to buy. But I don’t like the Christmas shopping experience, the big crowds, etc. If I knew what I wanted, I would do it online. Saving money isn’t a huge consideration, the main thing is getting the ideal present.”
