Web Gem: High Rollers

Greetings!

I know I said the holiday hiatus would end yesterday, but I received an after-Christmas miracle. Last minute, it was decided that I wasn't needed at work, so I used the unexpected freebie to run errands and watch the most bizarre football turnaround in the history of the universe. (I also learned that I HATE IT when people touch their faces while speaking, but I digress.)

How was your holiday weekend? Did you get everything you asked for?

If your haul wasn't so good this year, I have something that might make you feel a little better. It's called Gilt Groupe, a service that sells luxury brands at super-discounted rates. They claim up to 70% off, but items in the Final Sale area go for even less. (An Alexander McQueen jacket is 86% off, for example. [Also, my apologies for the lack of link--you do have to sign up to see anything. But it's free!])

Gilt has stuff for women, men, kids, and the occasional item for the home. You can searach by either size or brand, so there's no weeding through 9,275 items to see what will fit. They're also kind enough to tell you when something is in danger of selling out, so you can make a game-time decision if need be. More deets can be found here. Clickity-click!
