Think QVC is just a television station that carries ceramic tchotchkes for little old ladies? It's also a Web site. And, yes, it does carry a large selection of Hummel figurines, but the site also has hair products from Jonathan (of Bravo's "Blow Out" fame).

In fact, the entire beauty department at QVC.com is full of great products and may save you a trip to the mall. The site sells philosophy, L'Occitane, Prescriptives and smashbox, among others.

Also worth checking out at QVC.com are the educational shop, full of productive toys for kids from preschool to high school; the gourmet food section and the fitness equipment.
