Oldrids & Downtown

With all my kids home, shopping has been less than appealing this summer.  I get tired just thinking of taking them all to go look at something that would hardly keep their attention - and then you know what happens when they get bored!  So, I have turned to online shopping.  Window shopping is much more fun in the comfort of my home while my kids are happily building Legos.
Sometimes online stores jump out at me and I think they are pretty awesome.  Such as Oldrids & Downtown.  They really have everything.  Such as women's fashion and beauty products:

They even have a fabulous history:
In 1804, Mr. John Oldrid and Mr. Richard Hyde formed a partnership and opened a shop trading as John Oldrid & Co. in Boston. They were a draper, mercer, hosier, haberdasher, and funeral director. By 1812 the pair had established a wholesale business supplying many of the small shops in the surrounding villages.

Any other stay at home shoppers out there?
