By  |

Today was the last day for items shipped by regular USPS ground shipping guaranteed to reach recipients by Christmas.  That makes sense if you are an early bird who has all their shopping done and got to the post office early to get things in the mail.  But not all of us are ahead of the game. I know I am not.  If you don’t have your shopping and mailing done, here’s a list you can reference for shopping and from some of our favorite retailers.   For each retailer, we’ve got the cut-off date listed for getting your gift shipped in time for Christmas.  This list is courtesy of BuyVia.com so thanks BuyVia for doing the homework for us!
