Hubby signed up to one month free membership to Amazon Prime as an introduction, and we have used it heavily in getting this years Christmas presents. For those who don't know, Amazon Prime is a subscription to Amazon, where you pay $9 per month, and in return get free shipping. There is also a lending library of e books and DVD's that you can borrow for a month for free, while you have subscription too. I can appreciate the joy of shopping in a store, and supporting the locals, and I can also appreciate that we simply wouldn't have had time to get all the presents this year without Amazon Prime. The shopping in America involves a lot more driving, and for us a lot more miss than hit (the missing being when you think something will be in a certain store, and then it isn't, and just not knowing where to look), and as I write this, we are wrapping the last of it, and I am so impressed with Amazon Prime. Where else, for example, would you find a tin Curious George kaleidoscope?! It really does feel like you just search for what you want, and there it is. Practically Magic! And the kids are too young to connect Christmas time with all the boxes that have been arriving on our doorstep. I'm really enjoying that, because I'm sure they'll wise up eventually.
