Holiday Shoe Shopping

So I'm still working on my holiday shopping. I've been a little bit more organized this year, but I've always been a procrastinator so at this point I've just accepted the fact that I'll always be doing Christmas shopping at the last minute. Thank goodness for online shopping and express shipping!

Today I'm shopping for shoes for my brother on Zappos.com. This is dangerous because Zappos happens to be one of my favorite shopping sites.  So shopping for him is taking twice as long because I keep getting distracted looking at stuff for myself. But I'm trying to focus.  He really likes Ecco shoes, but he's a student right now so he doesn't exactly have a huge shoe budget, so I thought that might make a nice gift. Now I'm just trying to decide exactly what to get. There are a lot of great men's styles to choose from.

Something like this is a good every day, versatile option that I think he would get a lot of use out of:

Or I could go with something more sporty from the Ecco Performance line:

Decisions, decisions.  And while I'm at it, it can't hurt to look at the women's shoes, right?  I love these Ecco boots:


It's so much easier to justify adding a little gift for myself when I'm ordering from Zappos - they have a great return policy and customer service, and shipping is always free.  And they're actually guaranteeing free shipping and delivery in time for Christmas for orders placed as late as the morning of the 23rd.  It's a procrastinator's dream! I think my holiday shopping just got easier.
