The clock is ticking on the holiday shopping season and we, for one, have learned quite a bit during this wild stretch. For example:

• Gifts can be fun and wacky, so surprise someone with joystick bling…
• … Unless it’s that special someone. Get her the real shiny stuff
• Music comes in all kinds of flavors: rich and beautiful with a free MP3 player, commercial free with a discount, or Latino
• Winter is here so start booking your ski trips and your summer getaways
• Vote soon and often because you may be randomly selected to buy an affordable Zune, a cheap grill, or a desirable TMX Elmo

We just received a list of the newest deals from Expedia. There are discounts on trips to California, sunny getaways, and ski packages. There are also big deals on European travel. As always, make sure to visit Expedia‘s regularly updated Top Travel Deals.
