Spring and Summer Gift Giving

Mothers Day is behind us. Now we have graduation gifts, wedding gifts and of course, Fathers Day gifts and plans to tackle.

Don’t ignore these upcoming expenses until the last minute. An easy way to get a grip on them without driving all over town is to shop online. Not only is it a good way to comparison shop but you can shop at home after hours as well as get a good idea for a gift to give.

Amazon.com is always a great place to start. Covering a multitude of products you can shop for almost anything at a competitive price. I also like Overstock and SmartBargains. All three have fast shipping, good selection and reasonable return policies.

I also shop the online Flash/ Sample Sales as many sell better gift product, men’s and kids items. I was able to send Mothers Day flowers through Gilt. Jewelry through Beyond the Rack, Gilt and Rue La La. I was even able to buy a hair dryer through Ideeli. I have bought many designer duds for “the man” through Rue La La and Gilt. I have seen crystal, Nambe, silver and collectible art glass on most sites at some time.

Besides the clothing and fragrance deals, my last visit to Row Nine also had Bugatti Kitchen ware, Dyson vacuums as well as a luxury Spa package deal for 25%-50% off. So these sites are not just for designer clothes any more. Most have expanded their wares considerably.
