holiday shopping (it's about that time)
Nov. 16th, 2014 01:38 ami did this a few times & decided to re-post it.
not just for the holidays, but for any gift giving occasion.
overstock.com the place to finds books, clothing, jewelry & items for the home with a little bit taken off the price. i've only used them once or twice, but found them to be a good company. (note: it's been awhile, so i don't know if this is still true)
edwardrhamiliton.com the place for books. some of the books are slightly damaged & if you don't mind that these are good bargains. i've bought from them for years and really like this company. the have the added bonus of having an actual catalog that you can have sent to your home, or one of you're friend's homes. most of their orders ship within 48 hours of them getting your order so i wouldn't do last-minute stuff with them.
sock dreams the place for socks & stockings. i've never used them, but heard many good things. if you, or someone on your list, likes unique socks and/or stockings this is the place to shop.
the literacy site not only can you click there (& 7 others) once a day to make a difference, but they have plenty of stuff to buy to support the causes too. many things are made by local people in the countries they help in. so if you want to give gifts that can help others, then this is the place for you. (note: never bought off of them)
