We are receiving an avalanche of news about offers from online merchants.  Check these out for holiday savings, and order now because most have limited quantities and all are watching the clock for the big holidays!

Gift giving is probably most fun when you see a child’s face light up so this special from eToys is just the thing to warm December’s cold days (at least for those of us in much of the country!)   Hit the link here, and knock eighty percent off your toy bill:       eToys: Save Up To 80% off Select Items! (Limited Time Offer!)

Teachers in every grade will appreciate some educational gifts too. That’s where the folks at The History Channel come in to the game. They are upgrading all shipping right now.

The shipping is great, but did you see any of the series The Universe? Seasons 1 and 2 on DVD are now selling for only $35.96, marked down from close to $100.

There are other specials too:

~~ Haunted Histories and dozens of DVDs are under $25!

~~  Ready for a new President?  There are multiple Barack Obama and John McCain DVDs, including The Audacity of Hope.  (And if you want, leave a comment with your email and we’ll tell you how to grab one of the last Lipstick on a Pig shirts)

~~  If music is more your thing, The History Channel offers great shows.   Travel back 30 years to Johnny Cash’s 1978 concert.  You thought Walk the Line was a great movie too?  See the man whose life inspired the  whole thing.  If your tastes run to Elvis, there are videos of The King in concert too, as well as Wicked Game hitmaker and TV star Chris Isaak.  And of course, you can’t mix theatrical television without including KISS’ Gene Simmons.  The complete Family Jewels DVD is only $19.99.  Don’t forget that upgraded shipping!

Finally for this session, you need to look to the folks at online pioneer Drugstore.com.   The folks there have free shipping offers, and get this, free products too.  I was stunned to see the LifeScan Ultra 2 glucometer (that’s the thing diabetics use to measure blood sugar) is free after rebate.  This is my absolutely favorite meter and is one that my insurance doesn’t cover.  That doesn’t stop me from buying new ones for my car and office out-of-pocket.  I would rather have the best meter on the market than the one my insurance company approves.   I’ll be definitely cashing in on the free-after-rebate offer.

The great thing about Drugstore.com is that they’re an experienced company that knows how to make holiday shipping dates, especially with great prices and offers.   They are also carrying Alli now and while candy canes and cookies sound good, you may want to think about your post-holiday plans.  If you’ve heard about Alli and are curious, Drugstore.com has an information page with all the information you need to help you talk with your doctor to learn if Alli can help in those New Years resolutions.
