With Christmas just days away, you have to consider what you'll do carefully - with just two days for shipping, and more and more packages going through the systems, you're cutting it rather close. Amazon.com is offering free two-day shipping on some items, so plan things right and you could get it there in time. Otherwise, if you know it's in stock at a local store - many websites now offer the chance to check inventory status online - you might be able to get it in hand, provided you can put up with the crush of people.

Amazon.com and iTunes Music Store gift cards are an excellent option - you can either have them emailed to the recipient, or you can print out a custom gift card and give it in person. Win win!

If you have a Lego fan on your list, Lego Shop at Home offers a great variety of sets, right from the source. If you have a custom builder on the list, a gift cardicon and point them in the direction of the individual bricks store, and they'll be all set.

Another option, if you're looking to spend a little more, is the Amazon Kindle. They've lowered the price, and changed out the wireless provider, meaning that you can use it internationally now. Combine those two, and you've got a great price on a very mobile device. Books are available online, and there are millions of titles available - either from Amazon, or from third party sources, including free books. With magazine and newspaper subscriptions also available - cheaper than the printed versions - it's easy to stay up to date while on the go.
