The most wonderful time of the year?

That's what they say anyway. Some, myself included, think of it as the most STRESSFUL time of the year. On top of a bajillion projects, work, addicting TV shows,active social lives , etc. we have to add shopping for others to the list?? I, for one have a whopping 22 people on my list this year. It just keeps on growing every year. People keep popping out babies, I keep getting more popular.. what gives? Will it ever end?! I hope not.

Since I am a time and money starved student, I decided to try my luck at online shopping. Here are some of the best sites that I came across:

Urban Outfitters: this site has an awesome section- Cheap Thrills, gifts under $20. Lot's of HOT options for the fashionistas on your list too!
Chapters and Indigo: I LOVE this store. I love books, and I love all of the useless stuff that they keep by the checkout! This site also has gift ideas sorted by price.
Bath and Body Works: A fail proof option for anybody's mom. Check out the editor's pick section.
Lou Lou Magazine gift guide: This. is. the. best. It has stuff for everyone on your list! Most of it is pretty affordable too.
Hotwire: Feeling really generous? Buy that special someone a trip. I have had amazing luck with booking CHEAP yet GLAMOROUS trips on this site.

If all else fails, there's always The Human Fund


Whatever you end up getting that special someone, I sincerely hope it makes them almost this happy:
