"As we head into December, many of us are juggling with priorities around work, school, and family obligations, and shopping for gifts just adds to the stress," said Steve Schaffer, CEO of DailyDeals.com. "Sites like DailyDeals.com, which offers up to 60% off every day from leading and unique online stores, alleviate some of the stress by allowing consumers to quickly and easily find and purchase gifts for everyone on their gift list, saving them time and money."

According to DailyDeals.com, the top five reasons to use daily deals sites for holiday gifts are:

1. The discounts are huge -- up to 60% off - Nearly 30% of consumers have used daily deals sites to save on purchases, according to a national telephone survey by Ipsos Public Affairs. With sites like DailyDeals.com, which provide up to 60% off from national and online stores, consumers will be able to get substantial discounts on hot gift items every day.

2. Location is not an issue – Daily deals are now offered for almost every city in the country, making it easy to purchase for almost anyone anywhere. Because DailyDeals.com features daily deals from leading online retailers, consumers are not limited to specific city deals. DailyDeals.com can save consumers money on everything from clothing and jewelry to home improvement and electronics, making it easy to buy a gift for anyone.

3. Give the item as a gift – Consumers can purchase a voucher from a daily deals site and use that voucher to purchase an item as a gift. For example, consumers can purchase a voucher, go to the website and purchase the gift, save up to 60%, and then give the item as a gift. As the holidays get closer, consumers will see more and more deals on daily deals sites that will make great holiday gifts.

4. Give the voucher as a gift – Consumers can purchase vouchers from the daily deals sites and give the voucher as a gift, allowing the gift recipient to purchase whatever they would like. It is the new gift card!

"I purchased vouchers as gifts for my nieces and granddaughters, ages five to 11, when DailyDeals.com ran a deal with FashionPlaytes.com," said Karen Oaks, DailyDeals.com customer from Salem, Connecticut. "It was the easiest Christmas shopping I have ever done. The girls are going to love that they can buy their own clothes, but will be thrilled that they can design them! Because of the deal, I was able to save $120 and stay within budget. I will definitely be shopping with DailyDeals.com again."

5. Easy last minute gift – For consumers who like to wait until the last minute to purchase a gift, daily deals sites offer an easy solution since the voucher is delivered immediately to the gift recipient or purchaser's inbox.
