I have bought so much online in the past few years and I love it! This time of year, many of the retailers will run free shipping, so watch for that daily on your favorite sites. There are also good sales that are online only - not found in the stores.I know that Walmart and JC Penney also offer a ship to store service that is free - order online and pick up when convenient! Happy shopping and Merry Christmas!

I think good deals depend on what you are buying. I shop online all the time. It is especially helpful since a lot of my family is out of state.

Just an FYI I order an Olive Garden gift card for my dad and they were having free shipping on gift cards!

I always look for good shipping prices because that is what can really be pricey. There are many sites that offer a flat shipping rate, others have shipping specials. Sometimes I just have to bite the bullet and pay the shipping lol.

Overstock.com is a great place to start. Other sites that I like are www.personalizationmail.com and www.orientaltrading.com, oh and www.amazon.com

Also at www.igive.com you can shop online and give to your favorite charity at the same time.

Good luck and have fun shopping!

Hello and Welcome,

Alot of places are offering free shipping right now! Target, Walmart, ect... have some good deals. I love lakeside collections, their catalog has some great stuff and they are really inexpensive, you could probably find something for everyone. I know that I did! Shopping online is just about searching for the best deal!! Happy Holiday Shopping!

Hi S.-

I do a lot of shopping online throughout the year. In addition to the retail stores already mentioned I find a lot of good deals on Amazon and on eBay. If you're looking for a DVD, CD or book Deepdiscount.com is usually a good place to look.

Sorry, I completely forgot to tell you about ebates.com. Go to their site first and then link through them to the store you want to shop at (most of them are available through their site). You'll actually receive a cash rebate back on all purchases made. We've received several payments so far, it really does work!

Good luck,
K.

A lot of places are offering no shipping right now so you picked a great time to start on-line shopping. Along with this you can also help your budget by looking for coupon codes. Those are the nice little codes you put in at the end of your order while checking out that can get you some really nice deals. I like to go to retailmenot.com. And there are others out there too. Just google "coupon codes". Once you get a code just plug it in and see if it works. A lot of the time you will find that the offer the code was working for is over or something like that but don't worry, you can still get your purchases or change what your purchasing. Until you hit that final button to buy your purchase you can make changes. My final advice is don't shop hoping that the coupon code will work, keep in mind you need to be willing to pay for your purchase without it. The perfect gift is hard to find. But if it works it's worth trying it out.

Happy Christmas!!

Good Morning S.,

First of all, weclomce to Mamasource!!

Last year, I did just about ALL of my Christmas shopping online, and it was great. I had no problems at all. Everything arrived in good condition, and on time. And as far as shipping goes, some stores right now have "no shipping" deals, you just have to look!! A few places I shopped were Target, WalMart, Toys R Us, and of course, Lillian Vernon. Lillian Vernon has a lot of really cute stuff, and it's usually pretty affordable. You just have to get online and start looking around!!!

Good luck to you, and again, welcome, we're all glad to have you here!!!
