Shopping is all fun and games until you actually need to put on pants and find the right gift for someone on your list at the last minute. Between traffic, fluorescent lighting, and lugging around bags your personal trainer wouldn’t even be able to lift, it’s a wonder most brick-and-mortar stores stay open.
