I do almost all of t online! Shopping with a toddler is too hard. Yay for free shipping! Plus a lot of people I won't actually be seeing so I can have things shipped right to them.

@Foodnerd81: that's convenient. I'll have to remember that for next year.

I think I bought every single thing online. Actually I bought two Disney princess dresses from Costco for LO. Everything else online (mostly from Amazon). Photo gifts from the grandparents from Minted.

We buy a lot online because we live in a small town with limited options.
Waiting on:
two toys and a toy for a friends daughter from Amazon
Clothes and Pjs for my friends kids and cousins kids from old navy
Roots sweatpants for my SIL
Flip flops for my step dad
Hopefully they all arrive next week. Roots is being a pain in the ass!

@Mrs. Champagne: same! Thank goodness for Amazon Prime and holiday promo shipping!
In the past two weeks we've had an embarrassing number of packages delivered. I think we're still waiting on:
A toaster (weird, but it's what my parents wanted/needed).
Some books from B&N for DD
A mug and magnets from Shutterfly

I bought a lot from either our downtown small shops, or online if I couldn't find what I needed.
I'm not waiting on much, just an Etsy necklace for my mom with all of the grandkids initials, a wheely bug for DD (I was done shopping for her but they had a ridiculously good deal on Amazon for the large size and she's almost outgrown her current small one), a Turkish towel for SIL and a Harry Potter colouring book for my sister.
Then I'm DONE!!!

I think I bought everything online this year. Much easier than trying to shop with a toddler! Just waiting on her last stocking stuffers to arrive. Her toy kitchen arrived yesterday so it needs to be assembled, but everything else is already wrapped!

@littleblessings: No, I went Black Friday shopping in NY (Canadian) and did about 65% there.. 30% online and I've only had to go to the mall once. Woot!

I am only waiting on an Amazon Fire TV stick. It won't be here till the 22nd, I ordered it 11/30! Of course I need it on the 19th so she is opening up a picture of it. But I have ordered a ton online. I don't like to shop anymore.

@Ms. RV: Ack! I ordered one on Black Friday too and it came over a week ago, though we do live in a fairly large metro area. Might be time to call?

@Ms. RV: I ordered an anywhere chair on Black Friday and got it early this week. Meanwhile I also ordered monogrammed stockings from PB that still haven't even shipped yet. I've called twice and just been told "sorry, our production warehouse is very backed up". I'm so annoyed... I shouldn't be charged for monogramming if it can't be done in a reasonable time frame.

@Pancakes: Mine was monogrammed, and when I ordered it, it was backordered until Dec 7. I think monogramming takes at least another week. But maybe I'll call Monday. I won't be heartbroken if I don't get it by Christmas but I will be if I can't get this particular cover.
@Truth Bombs: I really don't understand why monogramming takes so long. They have all of the monogrammable stuff programmed into a machine. It isn't like they are figuring out placement and handstitching!
ETA: Just checked my order status. The cover is expected to be shipped Dec 21. That's cutting it close!!!

I buy so much online.
Bought: doll and doll bed for my niece. 3 minecraft books and a hoodie for my nephew. A my little pony activity book, pajamas and bathrobe and a sweater for another niece. A tie for BIL, a self inking stamper for my dad and stepmom, pots and pans for SIL, a dinosaur toy for DS, kiddo binoculars for both kids.
Waiting on a couple items for DH, for his new smoker he got for his birthday. Also, the kids swingset we are still waiting on.

@Ms. RV: I ordered two on black Friday and they're backordered and not shipping until the 24th!

I have ordered every single present online apart from the play kitchen which we went to ikea for, and a few stocking fillers for DS that I will pick up in the supermarket today. I hate busy shops! Everything has arrived - gotta love Amazon!

@oliviaoblivia: That's so horrible!! I would call and demand overnight shipping. Then your LO's would have Boxing Day gifts, too, I guess 
Seriously.. you think PBK would have expected this and upped their inventory ahead of time.

@Ms. RV: mine was monogrammed too. I guess I got lucky with a non-backordered style. I hope yours makes it in time!

I have bought the entire internet 
I hate going in stores (it's SO inefficient when you can just instantly find what you need at home on your couch with a glass of wine in your hand!)...And I get down a rabbit hole sometimes on Amazon and Pottery Barn Kids and Etsy.
I have ordered tons of shit. It's out of control and then today I got sucked into some Amazon deals of the day on Magiclip princesses. Yesterday Kate Spade sucked me in.
And the worst part is that while I'm blowing my credit card up (the damn Macbook saves my card info and makes purchasing stuff way too easy), I tend to find plenty for myself. Hello Tory Burch 
But that's why I work 50+ hours a week, so whatevs.

I pretty much do all my shopping online. Plus I order through upromise so I get cash back on it too. I still have to buy one of dh's presents although at this point I'm not sure if it will make it in time!

@Ms. RV: they just called saying they're unable to fulfill the order! WTF Pottery Barn?!

@littleblessings: I've done almost all of our shopping on Amazon. Haven't received any yet

I bought almost everything online. The only thing I'm still waiting on is a couple of custom wood engraved photo frames that I'm giving to both sets of grandparents with a photo of LO inside. The Etsy artist making the frames has a backlog of orders to get through but she promised they'll be here by Christmas.

@oliviaoblivia: If you don't mind me asking, what covers did you get? My chair shipped yesterday, thankfully. I don't think I'll be making anywhere chairs a first Christmas tradition for any future LOs.
