Holiday shopping

Ideeli
A flash-sales site, Ideeli is an exclusive, members-only shopping destination for those seeking the best women's and men's fashions, beauty and home decor at discounted prices. At noon EST, new sales are launched, but for a limited time only, you'll get the best deals for brands such as Gucci, Calvin Klein and True Religion. Although their Cyber Monday deals haven't been made public yet, in the past, Ideeli started the Black Friday sale a week early, followed by a Thanksgiving Surprise sale and a Cyber Monday special. To get access, all you need to do is enter an email address and become a member of the site!
HauteLook
HauteLook is another free members only site that Nordstrom acquired just last year. Every day, new deals on premier brands with discounted prices up to 75 percent off. How are the prices so low, you ask? HauteLook partners up with brands like Missoni, Gucci and American Apparel to get insider access and buys items in bulk. For Cyber Monday, HauteLook is expected to have double the sales. Sign up for HauteLook now and get a head start on the shopping today.
