Azalea Online

If you are like me, and are in desperate need of last-minute Christmas and Hanukah gifts for the fashion nut in your life, look no further than San Francisco-based Azalea Online. Started in 2003 by two Cornell grads ‘with a shared obsession for the runway and sale racks,’ Azalea is a great one-stop place to shop for everything style oriented– from streetwear, to couture, to denim, to body care items. The best part– they’ve assembled great holiday gift guides for you, so you don’t have to do anything but punch in your credit card info: for her, for him, budget gifts, green Christmas, editors’ top 10, and customers’ top 10. On top of that, holiday purchases come with a free his or hers gift, and they offer free shipping on UPS ground orders as well. I dug through some of the online store, and there really were some steals in there. If you are feeling indecisive, but know that your giftee would like something on Azalea, pull the trigger on a gift card. Finally, props to Azalea for their extensive community involvement in SF; always great to see.
