With record breaking online spending and being 4 days from Christmas, you might think shoppers are close to being done shopping. However, 65% of shoppers are still not finished with holiday shopping!

The reasons?

Lack of time and money account for nearly two-thirds of the reasons why shoppers will be scrambling to get their gifts together before Christmas.

11% of survey respondents from a comScore survey are waiting for better deals-these are the people that risk purchasing back-ordered products and pay for next-day air shipping to receive their purchases in time, likely negating any benefit of a good sale (and if they do save a couple dollars, it will ultimately go toward blood pressure meds for waiting so long!)

6% “Enjoy the thrill of last-minute shopping.” This is the same category of people who used to run after the school bus to catch it, only to arrive with sweat stains and disheveled clothing.

Free Underwear Mailed To Your Door? Yes Please!

Try not to judge, but I’ve done laundry twice since the SuperBowl. The first thing I run out of? Washcloths and underwear. Thus, I was super excited to find that right now, AmericanApparel.com is offering to mail a free pair of underwear to anyone who signs up for their email newsletter. No coupon and no visit to store necessary! You can go right to the sign-up page here. They even let you choose your size, so you won’t end up with a pair like the ones below:)
