    What is your favorite online store for purchasing gifts for others? One Christmas I purchased everyone's gifts at Overstock.com because the items are reasonably priced and shipping is $3 or less on ALL products. I also tend to shop at Amazon.com and Drugstore.com for gifts.

    I usually find pretty much all the gifts that I need on Amazon. I mean they have everything under the sun and usually at an unbeatable price. I like gifting people Kindle books on there as well.

    Amazon! Definitely, definitely Amazon, but in Canada we have a very limited selection: music, books, DVDs and a few other items. I also like Land's End now for clothes shopping. EBay has been another destination for me to purchase bullion or computer accessories.

    I use Amazon or I Want One of Those, as both sites are very reasonable, and also offer a gift wrapping facility. As I live in Spain and most of my friends and family are in the UK, that's very useful. Also, there's something for every taste. I often send flowers as gifts, and Bunches are my choice for that, as each time you shop you earn money off the next order. They also include free chocolates, which makes the gift more special.

    I find most of the items I look for are on Amazon. My daughter does all of her shopping on Amazon and has gotten some relay good deals.

    For me (in the UK) it is also Amazon, particularly for books and DVDs. However, if I'm looking for something special I like to go to notonthehighstreet.com - it is a great place for unique gifts that they are not likely to have seen before. Plus a lot of what is listed on there is able to be personalised, which is a great touch.

    Etsy.com

    Everything is created by an individual or small business, and the products are usually very artistic, and high quality. They have unique, quirky objects you wouldn't find elsewhere, so the person is guaranteed to be amazed. They also sell their stuff for pretty cheap too!

    I love to purchase gifts online at Amazon or ebay. I like using ebay because they have BillMeLater with Paypal so when money is a little tight then I have that to fall back on. I like Amazon because they have everything on that website. It's my favorite to use and I usually use Amazon gift cards that I get for free from using Swagbucks.

    I like going to Amazon or Etsy. Amazon has about everything you are looking for at good prices. But Etsy has unique and creative gifts that can be really personal and special.

    My go-to website for gifts is Etsy! You can find almost anything there and it's handmade by someone, not a big business. It can be a bit pricey, depending on the shop, but you know the gift is 100% unique and it's usually great quality. Other than that, I'll hit up thinkgeek.com, Amazon, or Half.com, depending on the person and what I have in mind.

    It used to be Ebay but lately I have found the sellers to be VERY unreliable, for example I bought a load of Christmas presents that never arrived and my family think I lied! One of the items turned up yesterday! I now use Amazon which I have found to be much more reliable.

    You can't go wrong with Amazon or Ebay as long as you choose a trusted seller. For books, my favorite would be bookdepository.com since they offer free shipping worldwide.

    I enjoy online shopping so much. It's so convenient and hassle free. When I shop for shoes for myself or as a gift I like to shop at zappos.com. This site is amazing. The offer free shipping on everything and I receive my product in less than 72 hours WITHOUT paying for expedited shipping. I plan on using them for the up and coming holiday.

    Depends who I'm buying for. If its for my friends, Bath and Body Works, Sephora and Ulta are my favorites. For my family I like the body shop, Macy's or cool little gift shops.
