Are you keeping an eye on the calendar? While there are technically still 9 days left before Christmas, shipping deadlines for online retailers are creeping up quickly. So if you’ve got great Christmas gifts picked out for the whole family, quit procrastinating and order them before it’s too late to take advantage of shipping deals from the top online retailers. Gifting sites like Zazzle and Overstock offer free or ultra-low cost shipping rates, as long as you order in time. Otherwise, you’ll have to splurge on express, 2 day, or overnight options, which can get pricey. Here are some important dates to remember, but make sure to check with each retailer individually before ordering.
December 16th is standard, but some sites like Best Buy and Target will honor standard shipping rates for orders coming in as late as December 20th. Express shipping can cover most orders made by December 21st, where as you’ll have to spring for overnight if you order online before 10am on Dec 23rd. But even if it’s Christmas eve and you still haven’t bought a single gift, never fear. Just check out Gifts.com for tons of unique gift ideas that offer same-day gift delivery.

One of the most time-honored rite of passages for teens is the post-graduation adventure. Whether they’re headed to Europe for the summer, or just road-tripping with pals, a durable and stylish luggage set makes a great graduation gift for teens. Check out this Dakine split roller bag – the funky checkered pattern makes it easily distinguishable at baggage claim and unique enough to keep around through the college years.
And come winter when they’re home for the holidays, these useful baggage sets make great Christmas gifts as well. The flexible polyester material makes them easy to cram in the trunk or even in the overhead compartment. So not only will you be saving money by avoiding the new airline baggage check fees, but you can also save money with this free shipping offer from eBags.

Phew! The holidays sure flew by quickly, and now Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. So why waste any time thinking about Christmas gifts eleven months in advance? Well, if you were one of those mad shoppers who got caught up in a last minute eBay bidding war and overpaid for the season’s hottest Christmas gifts, you may have just learned a valuable lesson. The truly budget-savvy shopper will snap up a great deal, no matter what time of year it is.
Take the now-notorious Zhu Zhu pet for example. This was THE Christmas gift for kids this past holiday season, and these little critters were flying off of store shelves faster than you could keep up with. But now that Christmas has come and gone, you can order one online, with free shipping included, for under $15. However, this is one holiday deal that won’t last all year, so don’t let your tendency to procrastinate keep you from scoring this amazing Christmas gift at an amazing price.
