(PRWEB) November 20, 2007 -- Thanksgiving. It's a time to appreciate each other and all of the blessings the year has brought. But the very next day, the holiday becomes a time for retailers to remind everyone of what they don't have! The year's busiest shopping season begins with the famed retail holiday, Black Friday, when consumers use the energy acquired from their hearty Thanksgiving dinners to dig through newspapers packed with coupons then face traffic jams and crowded shopping malls. As if Black Friday isn't enough, the following Monday everyone returns to work and shops for gifts online, creating the new e-commerce holiday, Cyber Monday. Shefinds.com founder Michelle Madhok simplifies the present buying process to make it feel as if those helpers in the North Pole really do exist.

Online Expert Michelle Madhok's Tips for Holiday Shopping on the web:
Tip 1: Sign up for Emails and Alterts -
Sign-up for email newsletters that will alert you to great deals and exclusive discount offers. SheFinds scores you exclusive deals every week in our SaleThursday newsletter.
Retailer newsletters frequently give subscribers early access to sales and additional discounts.
Price Alerts: Sites exist where you can sign-up to be notified when an item is marked down. ShopItToMe.com and ShopStyle.com both have this feature.
Tip 2: Find Fast Comparisons with Shopping Search Engines -
Familiarize yourself with shopping search engines. Comparison shopping search engines--sites such as shopzilla.com and bizrate.com--make it their mission to ferret out the best prices on commodity items like big screen TV's.
Use comparison engines that specialize in specific items. Thefind.com and like.com, for example, both specialize in fashion and accessories.
Tip 3: Shop Smart, Shop Early -
Get up Early - some sites like bluefly.com post new merchandise and deals at 6:30 AM Visit Deal Specific sites - SheFinds Deal of the Day offers the best buys for fashion and beauty. Woot.com offers a huge discount on limited quantity, one day deals.
Visit Discounters - Sites like Yoox.com, Smartbargains.com, and Overstock.com are great places to nab a deal on brand-name items from past seasons, store closeouts, or refurbished electronics. Many times shoppers can find better deals from online stores that don't have an offline presence, so scour the sale departments of online retailers for extra discounts like eluxury.com's for steep markdowns on last season's designer goods.
Coupon Sites - Before you click and confirm a purchase, enter the name of the site you're buying from and "coupon code" or "promo code" into Google to see if any new deals appear SheFinds offers SheFindsCoupons.com a site that compiles deals and also offers printable coupons.
Another fun site is Retailmenot.com, where you enter the name of the site you're shopping on and it gives you back a list of coupons that could help you score a deal.
Tip 4: Shop Safely --
Shefinds.com only blogs about retailers and e-tailers that are trusted for both product quality and safe shopping, so the blog serves as a great starting point for finding the best gifts.
