With the holiday shopping frenzy in full swing the LAST place you are going to see me is at the mall. I rarely step inside a mall during the holiday season, unless it’s for non-holiday shopping. I can’t deal with the parking headaches or standing on long lines. I would rather go to the mall to check out the decorations, say “hello” to Santa and enjoy a cup of Peppermint Mocha at one of my favorite coffee shops
When I shop for holiday gifts I try and buy as many as I can online. I might go to a store to see something in person, but I make the actual purchase online. Not only is it super convenient, I can also “hide” gifts from my kids because I wait until I am ready to wrap before opening up the shipping boxes so they can’t see what we bought them.
I like to look for online deals when making gift purchases. I especially like getting FREE shipping. That way you are paying for an item the same you would in the store but without the hassles.
Have you heard of ShopRunner? ShopRunner is a membership based service that offers subscribers FREE 2-Day shipping on purchases made through 80+ retailers including stores like Neiman Marcus, Kenneth Cole, Tiger Direct, Jockey and Fanatics.
I recently made a purchase from Beauty.com. I stocked up on some of my favorite products, including a lot of philosophy products. I also received a free gift with purchase of a gorgeous cosmetic bag and a lot of free samples and free full size products inside of it. 🙂
I checked out late one night (and by late I mean it was around 11:00 PM). Two days later the products were dropped off at my door. WOW! That was speedy. Best of all shipping was FREE thanks to ShopRunner. I saved over $12.00 on 2-day shipping. That might not sound like a lot, but when you make a lot of online purchases that amount adds up. You could save hundreds on shipping alone (depending on where you shop and what you buy).
In addition to saving you money on shipping, ShopRunner also shows you daily deals and special sales from their partner stores. At the time I am writing this post I see some great deals via ShopRunner including…
- Save 50% on hundreds of items at 20% off other items with a special discount code.
- 30% off at Anne Klein and 50% off select watches.
- 20% off an order of $100 or more at GNC
- $5.00 off your order from David’s Cookies
And more!

I have never used shoprunner. I’m afraid it would encourage more spending! I try to buy around holidays and free shipping days but I’ll take a look.
