There was once a time when I was up at the crack of dawn on Boxing Day, armed with a fistful of gift certificates (the actual paper kind) and a glint in my eye. I’d hit the stores as the gates were opening, shop fast and be home with a new wardrobe before noon. These days, I wake up on Boxing Day exhausted and though I would love to escape the bomb that hit my family room the day before, the prospect of getting up that early voluntarily or potentially having to drag a kid or two along with me is enough to make me just not. Instead, I hide in the bathroom with my phone (come on, you know we all do it) and shop online. Here are some great shops to hit:
