(2009 theOutnet.com)

Online stores have accumulated a selection of sample sale rarities this week, with Sergio Rossi shoes, Jil Sander ready-to-wear and Hervé Léger by Max Azria bandage dresses being just a few examples. Plus: last-minute Christmas gifts.

The Outnet

Net-à-Porter's outlet sister site is launching its big holiday offensive, and the Outnet wouldn't be the Outnet if this just involved the (admittedly very cheerful) acapella version of Rudolph on the homepage: there's a well-curated gift guide with items just a click away, a whole selection of designer buys for under €70, and selected gifts selling at up to 80 percent off.

Gilt

The Gilt Group has racked up designer labels that are normally nowhere to be seen on discount sites, including shoppers' favorites such as Sergio Rossi and Jil Sander. J Brand jeans, Just Cavalli accessories, and Cole Haan handbags and shoes are also all coming up this week.

Christmas gifts: cufflinks by Tateossian; jewelry by Robert Lee Morris, Azaara and Judith Ripka; watches by Gucci; home accessories by Vellum; bedding by Manuel Canovas; chocolates from Chocolat Moderne.

Rue La La

The site is going high-end this week with a boutique of Yves Saint Laurent accessories opening December 14. Apart from the ruinous handbags, there are also some wallets and other smaller accessories that make great gifts too.

Christmas gifts: Rue La La is running special selections as gift guides this week, ranging from outerwear to shoes and denim.
