This is an amazing year for shopping deals. I have never seen such incredible discounts from retailers. Every time I turn around, I have a new email about a great sale that often includes free shipping. If you’re still looking for gifts, you need to check out these deals. Even if you’re done with all of your holiday shopping, consider getting something nice for yourself. At these prices, it’s crazy not to go shopping.

Ann Taylor Loft is one of my favorite places to shop and this year has truly been a treat. Currently, the clothing and apparel retailer is offering 40% off your entire purchase plus free shipping if you spend over $125. Check out the gorgeous sweaters! I have already bought three and a nice top to boot. If you’re ordering for someone else, you still have two days left to receive your package by Christmas.

Eddie Bauer is a great place to shop for the casual, out-doorsy type. Some items are up to 50% off and there’s free shipping for purchases over $100. I bought my husband two really nice sweaters because the prices were so good.

The Gap and Banana Republic are also slashing prices and offering free shipping deals. If I didn’t already have a great holiday dress, I would be very tempted to buy the one that’s featured on Banana Republic’s web site.

Of course it would be silly of me not to mention the great deals going on at our favorite beauty retailers. SkinStore.com is currently running a 20% off promotion with free shipping on orders of over $49.  Drugstore.com is offering up to 50% off select gifts plus free shipping on orders of more than $25. If you shop at Spalook.com, you can get up to $50 off your order. There’s a discount for smaller orders as well. There’s also free shipping with a purchase of $50 or more. Plus, they have their four hour mid-day spa break going on today where you can save up to 60% off certain items.

This may be a tough economy where we feel we have less to spend but it’s a unique time to snap up deals we may not see again for years. Take full advantage of the current discounts out there and go shopping!
