Online shopping in reverse

Online shopping in reverse came to Inglewood on Christmas Eve with the delivery to a local couple of a Christmas hamper, ordered by their daughter who lives in Honolulu, and made up of goods put together by local shopkeeper “Tootsie” Braden.
Bill and Mavis Stower’s daughter, Julie, went online to see what “Tootsie’s” store had to offer; she liked what she saw, placed an order and “Hey Presto” the hamper promptly arrived on her parent’s doorstep delivered by “Tootsie”  who was dressed for the occasion in an attractive “Mrs Santa” costume.
