Christmas Shopping Ideas
Dec 7th, 2007 by alyoung
If you followed my tips on getting bank bonuses, you may have earned some extra money for the holidays. With that money, you can upgrade your gifts to your family and friends. Or you can treat yourself to something nice. Since my experiment with Black Friday shopping, I have confined my shopping to the Internet. Here are some gift suggestions I have found:
Amazon Kindle: Here is a cool wireless reading device. You can download over 90,000 book titles as well as many newspapers, and take it with you. It is light and easy to read. The neat thing is that you can download new titles anywhere for free. You do not need a wifi connection. Its like a cell phone signal. When I travel I always pick up a few books, and newspapers to read which makes my carry on bag heavier. With the Kindle, you don’t need carry any books, just the Kindle, and you can get any book you want anytime. At $399, its not cheap, but for avid readers and travelers well worth it. The other drawback is the design is not the most stylish. Also, due to its popularity, it is sold out at Amazon, and you will not get it before Christmas.
If the Kindle is not for you, you may want to get one as an investment. They are selling from over $800 to $1,000 on Ebay. You may make enough to get something else for yourself.
Personalized Christmas Ornaments: Here is a good personal gift of high quality Christmas ornaments that can be kept as keepsakes for many years. You can commemorate special events of the year such as “Baby’s First Christmas”, or “Our First Christmas Together” with these unique ornaments. Free personalization, and quick turnaround time. 20% off everything even sale items. Use coupon code OURGIFT2U at checkout.
Stocking Stuffer Gifts:
Letters from Santa: Young kids will enjoy receiving a personalized letter from Santa postmarked from the North Pole. 32 templates to choose from. If you buy 2 letters, you get 1 free. Kids love getting mail, and a letter from Santa will make their day.
Starbucks Coffee: Always popular with coffee drinkers is a gift of Starbucks. Give the gift of caffeine to those you love.
Gift Certificates: The old standby when you can’t figure out what to get someone. But, what store do you buy a gift certificate at? How do we know where the person likes to shop? You can avoid that problem by going to GiftCertificates.com and buying a gift certificate good at many types of retailers. The gift recipient will surely find something to suit their tastes there.
2008 Entertainment Book: Another old standby gift. The gift that will keep giving throughout the year with discounts on everything from restaurants, golf, and movies. All the things we spend on every day. Great savings for families. 10% off and with free shipping.
