All-Purpose Holiday Shopping Help

Were you being sarcastic? I was just using the trapeze as an example of the awesome options that Groupon has.

 

If you really want to save money catch Restaurant.com when they sell the $25 gift certificates for $3.
However before you buy for a restaurant read the fine print to see when it can be redeemed. I forgot to to do that for one restaurant near me, tried using it at dinner and the gift certificate was only valid at lunch time.

 

I think Groupon is a much better idea than restaurant.com. Probably not trapeze lessons, though.

 

I buy my brothers and their families deep dish pizza from Lou Malnati's.

http://www.loumalnatis.com/

They each get a four pack of frozen pizzas. It's not the cheapest present, but the kids freaking love them and look forward to them every year. And, my brothers love them because it gives 'em a free, hassle free meal (or two) during Christmas week, which is always crazy.

And, it means I don't have to travel with gifts, (or ship them ahead of time) or wrap them. Totally worth it for me.

I ordered them a while ago, and they'll be there tomorrow.

But, there's still time to order.

It obviously makes the most sense for someone who's from Chicago, or maybe if you know someone who loves Chicago & deep dish.

 

I'd rather have a box full of Italian Beef sandwiches and maybe some hot dogs from Portillo's, but that's just personal preference.

We get the Lou Malnati's as a gift for my wife's birthday every year from her Chicago-based brother and his family, and you're right - that's something that never disappoints.

 

According to this: http://hip2save.com/2011/12/20/steals-and-deals-ann-taylor-faux-fur-tea-hair-styling-tools-and-more/

It's legit. Go to the link in that article, put in the promo code (TodayRestaurant) and profit. The $500 doesn't expire, apparently. But the deal itself, according to the link I posted, lasts about 24 hours. So you'd better buy it early tomorrow.

Hell, I might have to do that myself.

EDIT: The Restaurant.com site says it is 12/20 only. So you have 10 minutes.

 

I'm doing all of my shopping tomorrow after work.
I have ideas for all gifts except my boss.
I always get hims something funny and/or unique, but I'm drawing a complete blank.

 

Ok, I just found the gift for my boss, Bright Feet:

But I don't have time to order them. Has anybody seen these in a store?

 

Zappos and Amazon took care of 75% of the gifts. Liquor stores were another 10%.
