In this day and age, I know that's hard to fathom, but I really like to touch my purchases, to weigh them (literally) in my hands and decide if it's really the item I want to get. I will occasionally order online if I've already found what I want, messed with it in a store, and then ordered it for a better price after the fact.
But then there was this ring by vintageandglam:
Which I fell in love with and wanted for my own. And even though it was only $9 (with free shipping!!!), I couldn't justify buying it for myself until I found this beautiful ring to get for my husband's cousin:
So then I needed to do some more shopping. Enter this necklace by The Chartreuse Room for my MIL:
And then this necklace by jjbinx for my mother:
And I thought I was done.Then I saw a poster on Jennie's blog, and this was finally the end of my Etsy run for this Christmas:
But that's not all! I bit the bullet and also bought my brother a shirt online. I've been looking at these awesome shirts (ps - I'd love the "Tales from the Jazz Age" one myself). I deem this year's online shopping a success! Now to finish the rest of the shopping.

I LOVE that poster.
Yeah, I bought a bunch of stuff on Etsy this year, too. (This is a good idea for a post - thanks!) I love stimulating the economy of individuals instead of big box stores (although, you know I have a Target addiction. I was there 4 times in 4 days.) Love the stuff you picked out!
I'm not a big fan of the huge gaudy rose rings, but I think the necklace you bought for your mother is beautiful! (I hope your husband's cousin likes HUGE rose jewelry--otherwise it may end up on e-Bay.
I LOVE the poster! It sounds like your online shopping expedition was a good one.
The red rose ring is actually very small - less than the size of a dime (I wear it on my pinky), and the blue one was the size of a nickel. It looked very good on her finger too.
