I do virtually all of my online shopping at amazon.com. Most of my gift list is books, videos, cds, etc., and most everything is priced lower than retail on amazon. Household items are available, too... I bought a breadmaker there at the lowest price I found *anywhere* ($49, free s/h), and this year I'm buying one of those robotic vacuums (Roomba) (also free s/h). Amazon offers free shipping on almost everything (as long as your total is over about $50), and you can have things wrapped as well (for a small fee). I've never had a complaint with their service or products. They also have an invaluable "wish list" feature, where I save things throughout the year... makes it very easy to shop once gift giving time rolls around, and you can keep things in your shopping cart indefinitely, or move them back and forth to and from your wish list. You can also make your wish list available to your loved ones who might be wondering what you *really* want. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I highly recommend it!
