    Those are great ideas, now for the “follow-through.” Ordering online is a lot easier than traipsing all over town for a gift, but then you have to make sure it arrives. There’s a web application called “Gifts” at Habitudes (http://www.habitudes.info). It includes a shopping checklist where you can keep track of whether gifts have been bought, ordered, received, wrapped, sent, etc.. Especially helpful if you’re sharing gift responsibilities with yuor spouse.

    It is so much easier to shop online than deal with the crowds. Plus you can often find coupon codes for free shipping.
