If you're considering picking up a shiny new iPhone, Mac, iPod, Apple TV, or iPad for your loved ones this holiday, Apple's made it easier than ever.

Ordering from the Apple Online Store
The Apple Online Store's shipping deadlines are especially forgiving this year: If your item is in stock, the company will pay for free two-day shipping. Note: Two-day shipping doesn't apply to customized built-to-order Macs, engraved products, or orders paid for with financing or a bank transfer.
