Shipless Gifts

by on 12-23-2008 02:52 PM

Now, if you’re still the proud owner of a not-fully-checked-off gift list, you’re in a bit of a pickle, and probably don’t have much time to waste.  So I’ll get right to it – below is a list of “shipless” gifts you can buy and still make it look like you have your act together.

•    There are a whole bunch of Upromise online merchants that offer e-Gift Cards, so you can get that gift card code delivered via email for use for online purchases.


•    Who doesn’t love a little feet-up-on-the-couch time delivered every so often?  Get them a magazine subscription from Magazines.com.  And if you have no clue what they’d like, Magazines.com is one of the stores that offer those last-minute e-gift cards for the planning-challenged.  And you’ll get 25% back for college!


•    GiftCertificates.com is a great one-stop-shop for gift cards and certificates from a slew of stores.  They also offer the very snazzy SuperCertificate, which is basically a gift certificate to GiftCertificates.com – so they can go and pick out whatever gift cards they want.


•    If you’ve got a fan of book-listening on your list, check out SimplyAudiobooks.com.  They offer either “downloadable” audiobook subscriptions, and also “get them in the mail” audiobook subscriptions, a la Netflix.  And they’ll give you a whopping 34% back for college!


•    And you still have time to go the “buy online, pick it up in-store” route… check out the list of all the Upromise partners that offer this service.

Happy Shopping!  And most importantly, best wishes to you and yours for a safe, happy, and healthy holiday!
