Dedicated area on MSN Shopping means it’s not too late to shop online for that perfect holiday gift.

Last-minute holiday shoppers, rejoice! Great gifts from top retailers are still available and, better yet, without the worry and hassle of fighting crowds at the malls. Procrastination Central from MSN® Shopping at http://shopping.msn.com offers last-minute shoppers an online shopping “cheat sheet” listing stores that can deliver gifts in time for the holidays. Because Procrastination Central updates the shipping cutoff dates for a variety of merchants daily, shoppers will have peace of mind from knowing that their gift will arrive on time.

Procrastination Central allows people to finish their holiday shopping with tools that make it easy to browse, select, purchase and deliver gifts for their loved ones. The U.S. version of the site lists thousands of products from hundreds of top retailers that include Amazon.com, Blue Nile Inc., Brookstone, Circuit City, drugstore.com inc., Godiva, Target and Williams Sonoma.

Most people intend to shop early during the holiday season but rarely do, according to the U.S. Online Retail Holiday Forecast 2006 from JupiterResearch. Instead they end up making purchases later in the season each year.
