So there’s only a week left until Christmas and you’ve been so busy making notecards that you’ve barely had time to shower (seriously, can you remember the last time you showered??) let alone pick out gifts for every last person in your life. You’re screwed, right?

Wrong!

It turns out, retailers have got your back and are actually going to reward you for being such a slacker….er….good student. Today, Free Shipping Day, over 1,000 online retailers are going to let you shop from the comforts of your futon and ship it to you for free (yeah, that’s not just a creative holiday name, people) with guaranteed delivery by Christmas Eve!

OK, so this might not be the best timing for those of you who were blessed with the last freaking final exam of the week at 3pm today and are huddled up in the library as we speak with zero time to shop, but for the rest of us, this is the sort of deal that makes us believe in Santa again. (Plus, you can always decompress after that killer exam than with some online retail therapy, am I right??) And it’s even awesome for those of us who don’t celebrate Christmas, as we can do a crapload of online shopping for ourselves and use all that money we would have spent on shipping for something extra fabulous.

Eeek! I’m more excited than when I found out NKOTB and BSB were going on tour together!

Check out all the participating stores at FreeShippingDay.com, then bust out that credit card and do your thang. Happy shopping, CollegeCandies!

It’s the perfect day for some online shopping.

OMG. This story scares me.

So if you are like me, you’ve been eating more ramen, wearing last year’s winter coat and squeezing every last drop out of the lip gloss tube. In these tough economic times almost everyone is tightening the belt and, sadly, our beauty regimens are one of the first luxuries to get cut. Penny pinching can be depressing, but finding small ways to treat yourself can really boost your spirits. There is a beauty brand out there the really understands this fact and could prove to be our savior!

I can’t handle Black Friday and that whole getting-run-over-by- psycho-women- to-get-a-pair-of-shoes bit, which is why I dig Cyber Monday. There are deals up the wazoo all over the internet and I don’t have to worry about getting killed by a crazy mob (RIP WalMart worker: people are so sick).

Cybermonday.com has a whole plethora of online hotspots offering amazing sales for whatever Christmas shopping you have left… or if you just want to by yourself something pretty. I’ve already added 30 things to my shopping cart at the whitehouseblackmarket.com‘s sale. How could I not? They have 25% off everything…even sale items! Hells yes!

If you’re lookin’ to get the man in your life (be it boyfriend, brother, father, etc.) a new Xbox or some cool electronic toy thingy they would love, here’s a site that gives you a list of who’s offering what. CircuitCity.com is offering 10% off your purchase, as well as some other amazing savings!

For all you Macy’s lovers, like me, instead of making that dreaded trip to the mall, stay cozy in bed and let them come to you! Macys.com is offering free shipping!

And for the rest of your Cyber Monday needs, Shop.org is the place to go! It’s got everything from savings to strategy!

Why leave the house when you can get everything you need from the comfort of your cozy bed? I mean, shopping in your PJ’s is the point of the internet, isn’t it?

I am horrible with money. Seriously.

Which is why, for my own benefit (and my loved ones), I need to get my holiday shopping done now before I spend all my money on dresses I don’t need and beers I shouldn’t drink.

Thank God today is Cyber Monday! This silly little day is the day for online sales…like Black Friday, only for us lazy online shoppers.

So, pull out your credit cards, take a deep breath, and check out these sites for some debt-causing holiday goodness!
