Regarding holiday shopping - Our 2 kids are grown (40+) and live a long way away. Our 3 grandkids are teenagers and also live a long way away. We send checks. Not very original but I've not had any complaints. I still order holiday flowers for my 90 plus year old Aunt who lives a really, really long way away. I fixed gingerbread last night. Yum!!

I've never ordered from television, but I'm guilty of online shopping. I don't like being out in stores waiting in line!

Gingerbread, mmm...!
