ShopItToMe

Certain girl-tools excel at dude-use: eyebrow pluckers can remove a splinter, and Kotex can plug the bloody nose your girl gave you simply because it's the time of the month when she carries around Kotex. Take advantage of a service that enables womandom's crippling addiction to buying stuff, a.k.a. ShopItToMe.

Shop's a service that alerts you when the gear you want hits the e-sale racks, removing the two worst parts of shopping -- going to the store, and not getting deals incredible enough to justify buying a 30-pack of suspenders. Although completely guy-patible, Shop was clearly designed with the fairer sex in mind, so just skip past the girly drawings and set up your profile: first, pick from their hundreds of brands, then identify the type of gear you're looking for (from outerwear, to accessories, to kicks) and your shirt/neck/jacket/pants/shoe sizes (you know, 31-waist/size-14 shoe...). Then, daily, weekly, or semi-monthly Shop'll send out emails updating whatever new slashed items've popped up, both on brand sites and a load of e-tailers, from Zappos to Saks to Nordstrom -- convenience that'll unfortunately have you missing out on watching kooky old rich ladies getting busted for shoplifting perfume.

For endorphin junkies, there's a separate Running service that ferrets out cheap athletic clothing, specific models of trainers, watches, and even heart-rate monitors -- which must be for chicks, because a man model would simply toggle between "On" and "Dead".
