Inquiring Photographer: Where do you holiday shop?

This week we asked readers where they would be buying their holiday gifts this season.

Honestly, I’m doing all of my shopping online with minor shopping in the stores because the stores are crazy right now. So most things I will get online. I will go to Bay Plaza, Fordham or Parkchester. There’s a lot of good deals, also on 125th Street there are some good deals.

I definitely have my Christmas list and I’m going to shop here in the Bronx to support our merchants and vendors. So most of my shopping will be done here in the Bronx on Jerome Avenue, The Hub on Third Avenue or Bay Plaza, trying to keep business in the Bronx. There are great deals, you just have to keep your eyes out for them and go online and check and see when the deals are available.

Mostly, I will do online shopping, absolutely. I will buy some iPads, a lot of candles and perfume from Bloomingdale’s and will go to Target for the Christmas tree and the lights. I won’t be doing a lot of shopping in the Bronx, just Target and the rest online, because I don’t like shopping at all.

I do have my Christmas list ready. Well, we’re being pretty modest this year. I have a granddaughter who we got a record player for; remember those? And we got some records and we’re sending them up to her with a small check. Target is one store we’ll visit and a lot online. Online is just easier, no crowds of people. The shipping and the taxes kind of balance each other out and there’s more than I can find online. I’m going to buy something in Target and have no idea where inside that two-acre store I will find it.

I don’t have my complete list, but I’m working on it. I do most of my shopping in the stores. I have a hard time getting deliveries to my building from the post office. I like that visiting stores there’s no waiting for delivery. I will visit Best Buy and P.C. Richards and Toys R Us. I will visit Fordham Road and the Game Stop at Fordham [Road] and Webster [Avenue]. They are having good deals this year.
