or more about online sales? >> reporter: i think it's a combination of both. overall numbers i heard were in the ballpark. about 3% growth for the crucial holiday sales period. a lot of people are waiting for deals and a lot of people are shopping online. one real growth area is online shopping. this holiday season online shopping is expected to grow about 15% over last year. and now it compromises about 14% of the total holiday season sales, but that's a big deal because for the whole year online is only about 6% of the total. so the fact that it's making up such a bigger chunk of the holiday season pie says a lot about the fact that that's where people are now turning for better deals and more convenience when it comes to shopping. i have to tell you, i do a lot of my shopping online. >> you and me both. hey, quickly before we let you go, for folks who want to take back the sweater that doesn't fit or the tie that's hideous, what are a few of the things
