All the things you never knew you wanted, but, once you read about them, will want to hop online and order.
One of the toughest things about online shopping is the ease of getting absolutely everything you want. In theory, this should make things way easier on you, but it is actually a bit stifling. How do you find good stuff? Cool stuff? Ridiculous stuff?!
Don’t worry, we got you covered. Check out our top 10 things you can (and should) buy online.
Top Ten Things You Can and Should Buy Online
-
Electronics
Who doesn’t love electronics? There’s a 9 out of 10 chance that, if you are reading this article right now, you absolutely love electronics. Unfortunately, there are a ridiculous amount of shady tech-dealers out there on the web, so why don’t you head on over to NewEgg for your next video card purchase?

Hunting and Fishing Gear
You’re about to go into the outdoors and do some really manly activities. Fishing and hunting are some of the few connections that we still have to primitive man, and that’s freaking awesome. You should definitely take advantage of the convenient shopping and better deals you’ll find online at a place like Bass Pro Shops when you’re prepping for a hunt.

Flash Deals
You love deals. I love deals. Let’s not pretend. When something goes on sale for 50% off, you take a very, very hard look at buying it… Even if you have absolutely interest in the product (that four-tier egg holder seems like a pretty silly purchase at this point doesn’t it?), you will endlessly ponder whether or not you should indulge in this ridiculously awesome deal. So why not take advantage of the fact that the Internet caters to people like you by checking out WagJag!
-
Flowers
We don’t even know where to buy flowers anymore. Do brick-and-mortar florists still even exist? If you ever find yourself looking to buy some pretty poinsettias for your significant other, look no further than your couch, your laptop and FTD.
-
Groceries
I bet you thought buying groceries online was dead, and you were right. But, as with many great things, it’s making a comeback. We know what you’re thinking: “What the hell am I going to buy in an online grocery store?” Candy and beer, primarily. And if you’re having trouble finding a good place to fulfill your online grocery needs, why not check out Grocery Gateway.

Hotel Reservations
Taking a quick weekend trip to somewhere near you is actually a lot of fun. You remove a lot of travel time and the expense of flying, and you can pay a reasonable price to stay in a nice place with a maid to pick up after you!

Your Next Meal
Did you know about this? You can achieve a level of laziness that goes beyond ordering pizza with a cellphone. Check out Taste Away. With this awesome service, you don’t even need to speak to a human being to order an amazing, grotesquely big and unhealthy meal! Finally, a way to put aside the judgment associated with ordering delivery food.
-
Plane Tickets
Can you even remember a time when you didn’t buy plane tickets online? Let me regale you. Back in the days of yore, there once was a man that worked as a travel agent. Haggling with this man was the easiest way to book your plane flights otherwise you’d have to deal with the evil airline companies… Luckily for us, we have Porter.
-
Toys
Who wants to go to a toy store? Nobody. A bunch of spoiled kids, yelling and screaming, and when you finally navigate to the part of the shop with the collectible X-Men action figure that you’re looking for, it’s gone. Skip it. Buy online.
-
Video Games
If you haven’t been buying your video games online at this point, we’re just a little unsure how you play video games. You know that Battleship doesn’t technically count as a video game, right? Even if it has the flashing lights and bomb noises…
