Your holiday shopping budget may be smaller than usual this year, but that doesn't mean you can't afford great gifts for your friends and family. You just have to know where to look.

We already published our savvy shopper's guide to online deal finders, but now we want to know all about what you use to save money and find great deals online this holiday season. For this week's Hive Five, let's hear more about the web site(s) you use when you're looking to get the most bang for your buck.

Hive Five nominations take place in the comments, where you post your favorite tool for the job. We get hundreds of comments, so to make your nomination clear, please include it at the top of your comment like so: VOTE: Web Site Goes Here. Please don't include your vote in a reply to another commenter. Instead, make your vote and reply separate comments. If you don't follow this format, we may not count your vote. To prevent tampering with the results, votes from first-time commenters may not be counted. After you've made your nomination, let us know what makes it stand out from the competition.

About the Hive Five: The Hive Five feature series asks readers to answer the most frequently asked question we get—"Which tool is the best?" Once a week we'll put out a call for contenders looking for the best solution to a certain problem, then YOU tell us your favorite tools to get the job done. Every weekend, we'll report back with the top five recommendations and give you a chance to vote on which is best. For an example, check out last week's Hive Five Best Media Center Applications.
