Apparel, Accessories and More
My number one pick for online apparel and accessory shopping is Macy's. They have great prices, fast shipping and low shipping charges. Just browsing their site I get lots of gift ideas for birthdays and Christmas. Their jewelry and perfume section is also the best.

Books, CD's, DVD's, Games and Video Games
My number one recommended site for these items is Amazon. They have the best prices and the lowest shipping charges. Of course you can get much more than books and games but I've found Amazon to have the best prices on these particular things. Also, a great resource for baby items, household items, electronics, apparel and more.

Checks, Labels, Stationery
Want to save some money? Stop ordering your checks from the bank. Current Labels and Colorful Images have really low prices on all your personalized needs, especially checks. I get mine for 3.99!

Electronics
(Game consoles, cell phones, clocks, car audio, home theater and more)
Pick Your Deals is another online store that has great products and low prices! Looking for a Nintendo Wii, Wii Fit, Xbox or PS3? Along with this site I also recommend Amazon, again!
Gift Wrap & Holiday Decor
I order from Current every season for their great gift wrap and other holiday items. They have the largest rolls of wrap I've seen at the best prices and low shipping charges.
Great Toys
This is just a small sampling of toys I would recommend, as a parent and an aunt of small children. There are obviously hundreds more, but these are the ones I feel most confident about. Legos - who doesn't love Legos? K'nex - as much fun as Legos, but completely different buiilding ideas, Lincoln Logs - the classics are the best, Air Hogs and RC cars - I don't know any boys that can resist these.
Outdoor (and indoor) Playsets
All I can say is Little Tikes! They have wonderful playsets, houses and children's play furniture. They are durable and tough, but best of all they hold their value and can be resold when your children have outgrown them (for high prices at garage sales or on Ebay).
Personalized Gifts
Each of these companies have thousands of personalized gifts.
Travel (Air, Hotel & Cruise)
Any time we travel, which has been very frequent the last several years, these are the people we use for the lowest airfare, best hotel accomodations at the best prices and the only cruise line we love and recommend!
