Cool Hunting
If you're like us, you're sitting around wondering how you can get your packages to your holiday destination without paying an extortionate fee at the airport. The best option is order online and have them sent—especially with all of the free shipping offers in the Cool Hunting Exclusive Deals & Steals section of our 2008 Holiday Gift Guide.
But are you too late to get it there on time you ask? Maybe it's the holiday spirit, but we've decided to help you sort through the options and provide you with a list of places and the details that will guarantee you get it there before the 25th. This way, even if you can't make Mama proud with a shiny new Rolex, at least she'll think you have your act togehter and that's something even Santa can't get her.
