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.

Guide To Holiday Decorating

Sheila — Thu, 28 Oct 2010 22:10:39 +0000

Ladies and gentlemen, the wait is over. The Halloween candy has all been devoured, and the time for holiday decorating is here! And to make sure you’ve got all your bases covered, we’ve put together a simple guide to make sure that no aspect of your home gets overlooked.

The Wreath

The front-door Christmas wreath is the first thing that your friends and neighbors are likely to see when they come a-caroling. Make sure that yours is both festive and tasteful, and don’t be afraid to use artificial wreaths if you’re unable to find any that look fresh and healthy. There’s nothing worse than winding up with dead pine needles strewn all over your doorstep.

Holiday Figurines

You probably have a few ceramic Santas in storage, and holiday figurines make a great addition to the living room or entryway decor. Feel free to treat yourself to a new one every year, but don’t go overboard. If it’s not likely to become a cherished family heirloom, keep looking until you find one that really speaks to you. Then make sure you handle with care! Store your Christmas figurines in tissue or newspaper to prevent breakage.

Shop early and have one made with your family name or photo. Personalized ornaments also make great Christmas gifts, so order a few at a time and save on shipping.

Halloween can be an exciting event for kids of all ages, but it isn’t exactly the healthiest of holidays. This year, instead of showering your kiddies with candy, think about giving them toys or Halloween gifts that will last much longer than their post-trick or treat tummy aches.

One hot new trend in toys is the Monster High Doll Collection, adorable Barbie-style dolls with a spooky twist. Collect Frankie Stein, Draculaura, Clawdeen Wolf, and Laguna Blue, or bundle them together into awesome Halloween or Christmas gifts for girls.
