Gotta love shopping online!

Now my friends (and definitely my mum) will back me up here when I say I am NOT a shopper! Something about walking miles and miles through store after store of beautiful things with beautiful people selling them to you... well it just makes me anxious, grumpy and generally not fun to be around. Even on the rare occasions that I'm cashed up and ready to spend, it's best to leave me to my own devices.

So I've worked out that online shopping is just perfect for me. I've just made my third purchase at an Australian online store called Fully Stoked and I can't recommend them enough. They sell clothing, accessories and toys that are of high quality (T-shirts I have washed hundreds of times are still the same colour and unstretched), affordable and guaranteed sweat-shop free. And to top it all off, the good people running the show send a whopping 30% of their annual profits to global charities! (makes the 10% that we donate to MSF look pretty slack!).

Of course shopping of the online kind can present a few hazards of its own... I particularly seem to have trouble making the connection between the purchases I make and my rapidly declining bank balance... like how I just bought this gorgeous doll made from 100% organic cotton for my God-daughter even though her birthday is not for another 10 months.


Oh well, I figure it is from Fully Stoked, so really it would be a disservice to this world if I did NOT buy it (I can justify anything).
