Shopping on the internet has been increasing every year over the last five years, a new survey predicts another busy year for internet shopping in the UK.

Key findings
- The average shopper will spend GBP 768 on their Christmas goodies, of which 50% will be purchased online (hmm...sounds rather high!)
