Too Late for Shipping? Find Gifts Locally with TheFind.com

Over the weekend, I did a mad online dash ordering most of my Christmas gifts. I’m not done yet, but I got the bulk of it out of the way. I found that everything I purchased *should* make it by December 24th. Lucky me! BUT, I’m not done yet and now I’ll probably be stuck with receiving gifts late or I’ll have to go out and brave the malls. Braving the malls is not my favorite option, but at least I can shop for what I want at TheFind.com and then run out and grab what I need. I’m going to call and try to double check if things are in stock though, just to make sure before I go.

I don’t know why I wait until the last minute to shop. I used to be so good! I would shop throughout the year and keep a running list of what I bought and who it was for and then I’d finish up my shopping on Black Friday. I don’t know what happened to that system. It worked really well! Perhaps I’ll have to reinstate that schedule for 2008. Who knows, maybe it will make my list of resolutions!

Don’t you just love this time of year? You party a lot, shop excessively, overeat and then make a bunch of "promises" to yourself that you’ll fix all the bad you’ve created for yourself. Something’s really wrong with this formula.

Anyway, for those of you who are still shopping and need a little help finding the right gifts, go to TheFind.com and type in what you’re looking for, then change the "Your local stores are within 10 miles of X City" to the city of your choice. You can adjust the mile radius as well. If you have any questions or comments about Local Search, please leave them here.

Happy Last Minute Searching/Shopping,
