Free Ship Day, HOORAY!

So the big day is here- it's do or die time and a last chance to have one quick little flingy-fling online to get gifts delivered in time for Christmas (with ground shipping), and many retailers are offering free shipping to celebrate. A few retailers will offer free shipping with no minimum; others might require a set purchase amount, and others are upgrading customers up to expedited for free- but either way, it is pretty much awesome.

Below are a few of the retailers that are participating. And, of course, a few picks and previews of the little pretties I might be buying myself- to give as gifts, right?

It's definitely a lovely perk to the season- receiving a nice little check from cashback sites in the middle of the cold month of January, mmhm.
