Need a birthday or graduation gift? Shop retailers like Nordstrom and Sephora, which offer a "buy online, pick up in store" shipping option, or Amazon with its fast shipping for Prime members.

Gift cards

You don’t even have to leave the house to give a gift card. Shop e-gift cards and send them straight to the recipient via email.

Try choosing a retailer they love -- have they mentioned wanting to shop a specific store lately? Is their closet filled with one particular brand? -- to make your selection extra thoughtful. It's more meaningful than an envelope of cash, plus it gives people permission to buy themselves a special treat.

Shop these gift cards to get started:
