Welcome to “The Deal Dozen,” where we showcase the 12 best and most popular deals of the week on Ben’s Bargains. These are the best of the best, the cream of the crop, the deals you’d take into a foxhole with you.

*A quick briefing of this week’s highlights*

Just 12 shopping till Christmas, kiddos! In the online world, that really means you’ve got half that amount, since next Friday is generally considered the cutoff point to have your orders delivered by Christmas via standard shipping. After that, you’ll pay exorbitant prices for express shipping (unless you’re sitting pretty as an Amazon Prime member).

Check out our guide to Holiday Shipping Deadlines featuring a list of the major retailers’ cutoff dates. And don’t forget that next Thursday is Free Shipping Day, which has nearly 1,000 merchants participating (many big names among them).

The deals below won’t last long, so get clicking! Also stop by our Freebies page where we’re continually adding new free goodies. Your mission: to save some money!
