Last Minute Deals and Steals

One of the advantages of waiting until the last minute to get your Christmas shopping done is that stores are eager to get rid of extra merchandise. So go forth and shop!

Here are some great deals and steals:

For the book lover in your life:

The Amazon Kindle is on sale for $259.00 plus FREE shipping if you order in the next 1 day 11 hours. I have one and I love it. If you take a look at the price and think its a little steep, consider the fact that a person who loves to read and own their own books spends upwards of $2000.00 a year on books alone (thats low-balling it, folks - just ask my husband). Kindle "books" are cheaper than traditional books, no printing fees or paper fees to inflate the price. Plus, its the "green" way to go for all the environmentally conscious, as no trees are killed for the paper.

For the Wannabe Paparrazzo in your life:

One of the best deals I have found is Best Buy's sale on the 12.1 Megapixel Sony Cyber Shot Camera. Its a sweeeeeet little camera that can handle all those quick "this would make a great picture" "I wish I had gotten that on video" moments in your life. Its on sale at Best Buy for $159.99 - down from $209.00. If you have a Best Buy near you that has this camera in stock, all you have to do is order it online and then go down and pick it up - just make sure you choose the "Pick It Up In-Store" option at checkout.

For the kids in your life: 

Amazon also has great deals on toys for the next few hours. You might have to pay for shipping to get it on time for Christmas, but think about it, if you are going to see people AFTER Christmas and still want to get their kids a toy, you can order it at the sale price and get free shipping (remember it will be delivered AFTER Christmas) this is the way to go. If not, you still have a few hours to go to order a toy, or two, or thirty.

For the Teen in your life:

Yeah I know that they want all the super name-brand stuff but lets be honest, Gap jeans are really good quality and select styles are on sale today. At 19.99, these are a steal! Gap.com and instore.

And remember folks, if all else fails - there are always giftcards! If you have any deals/steals you'd like to share with us, leave us a comment! Merry Shopping everyone! - Gina G.
