'Tis the season of good cheer — and frantic shopping. But there's no need to race desperately from store to store, list in hand. Instead, fire up your Yule log and go online, where the weather's fine and the surfing's easy. The Web is a shopper's paradise boasting every kind of gift imaginable — plus many more that are almost unimaginable. Need a hat for your ferret? A pendant for that skydiver in your life? Here is Time Digital's guide to more than 700 of the Internet's best stores. You may even find something for yourself.

Holiday shopping is easy — if you know where in the World Wide Web to go. Our 40-page guide has everything you need. We test top shopping sites for performance, explore last year's Christmas delivery snafus and how toy sites are trying to fix them, and show you the best ways to get what you want online. We also present a shopping directory with more than 700 online stores. Believe us: if you can't buy it online, you probably can't buy it anywhere.
