If you're anything like me, you hate standing in those long holiday lines at stores this time of year only to deal with miserable customer service representatives. Well have no fear - it is possible to still grab great bargains while getting everyone on your list their gift without ever having to wait in a single line. Not even at the post office!

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

    Settle into a comfy chair...because we're going to shop from home! And while you're at it, grab a warm cup of hot cocoa too - why shouldn't this be enjoyable? Because of the economy currently, many websites are offering great bargains if you spend a certain dollar amount such as Oliviers & Co (gourmet foods). For example, when you go to their website and spend $80 or more you get a free bottle of olive oil for yourself, free gift wrapping and free shipping! Great for that foodie on your list! For that beauty queen Kiehls.com is offering free shipping and gift wrapping for orders over $75. Ship right to their door and you avoid the lines at the post office too!

Most well known sites are very reputable and encrypted so being defrauded or sharing your information with them is protected and safe. I've personally been shopping online for years and never had any challenges or problems with identity theft. It's fast, it's easy!

    Purchase something for yourself. Come on...you deserve it! How often do we spoil ourselves? How often do we actually get what we want during the holidays? You do so much for others this holiday season - while you have that card out don't forget to give a little gift to yourself.
