Easy Online Gift Ideas

By Mellissa Rummage


The holiday is fast approaching and if you haven't found the perfect gift, consider shopping online rather than elbowing yourself through a mass of crazy holiday shoppers. There are plenty of great online stores, many offering huge discounts and special deals. If you spend a certain amount, you might even earn free shipping. If you are stumped about what to purchase, consider these ideas.

Clothes are great gifts for the fashionista in your life. Shopping online is convenient and you won't have to walk around the mall to look for the perfect outfit for them. Just click away and the items can be delivered to you or straight to the gift recipient. If you are not sure of sizes, you can also consider asking someone close to them who might know the size or perhaps giving a gift certificate to an online clothing store.

Flowers are a sweet and unexpected that is suitable for just about any situation, whether it is a husband treating a wife or a friend purchasing a seasonal arrangement for another friend. Flowers never run out of fashion and there are so many options online. You can send a variety of grand or simple bouquets, live plants and even a tiny Christmas tree. These are easy to order and will truly brighten anyone's home.

Clever gadgets are great for tech lovers. If you just feel like splurging on a new flat screen for your dad, you can sift through the websites and reviews of better models. With one click away and a gift wrap request, your dad will be one happy dude! But it need not be this grand; there are many affordable gadgets available online, from digital picture frames to multi-tools to accessories for computers and MP3 players.

When you think about toys, you might be thinking about children, but toys are often ideal for collectors. Going online, in fact, is generally the easiest way to find collectibles, especially collectible toys. There are plenty of choices, from original pieces to reproductions that will remind your loved one of childhood. Smaller items make great stocking stuffers, as well.

The foodie in your life would no doubt appreciate the gift basket of culinary goodies. You can send fruit baskets, bread and jam baskets or even top quality meats or cheeses. There are dozens of online items. One fun option is to sign your loved one up for a culinary club. They might receive specialty salsas each month, or perhaps a different variety of cheese each month. Gourmet, microbrewery beers or wine are another great gift option.
