Right now is a great time to get good prices on things.  If you are trying to save money, please don't buy in to getting any store credit cards.  The fees are usually not worth it.  If you need to get a credit card stick with Visa, Mastercard, Discover (my favorite), or American Express. 
Happy Shopping!

LAST MINUTE GIFT IDEAS!

This is for all my procrastinators!  


Gift Ideas for...

Teenagers:
  • Scarves (not just to wear outside)
  • Gift Cards (Visa or Mastercard... store/mall cards often have fees for things like checking your balance)
  • Earbuds, FM Transmitter, or other MP3 player accessory
  • Gas Card
  • Shopping Spree (take them after Christmas for good sales)
  • Computer Accessories
Young Adults:
  • Music Concert Tickets
  • Comedy Club Tickets
  • Sporting Event Tickets
  • Gift Card
  • Holiday Decor (start a new family tradition)
  • Computer Accessories
  • Netflix membership
  • Favorite Magazine subscription
  • Wine or Liquor Gift Set
Parents:
  • Special Event Tickets (concert, play, sports)
  • Car Tune-up
  • Movie Gift Set/Music Gift Set (anything collector)
  • Gift Card
  • Restaurant Gift Card
Wife/Girlfriend:
  • Jewelry (locket, bracelet, earrings, etc.)
  • Special Date Night Out
  • Massage, Manicure, Pedicure, and/or facial from her favorite spa (buy now, she can schedule the date)
  • Start a special holiday tradition (special ornament, tree topper, etc.)
  • Chenille Scarf Set
Husband/Boyfriend
  • Watch
  • Cologne
  • Sporting Event Tickets
  • Car stuff (new heavy duty floor mats, tint windows, seat covers, car stereo)
  • Something for a hobby of his
These are just a few ideas for people that are out of ideas and waited for the last minute.  I especially think that concert tickets, or other special event tickets are a great last minute gift.  Comedy clubs are fairly inexpensive compared to music or sporting events and can make for a very fun night out.  Be creative and know that the holidays are not all about the gifts.   
Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Christmas Shopping

Well, this season I have found the best deals at the following stores:
  • OLD NAVY (ALL CLOTHES)
  • KOHLS (ALL CLOTHES, SOME TOYS, HOUSEHOLDS)
  • MACYS (JEWELRY, KIDS CLOTHES, ACCESSORIES)
  • THE GAP (ONLINE TOO) (SPECIAL DEALS, CLEARANCE)
  • THE CHILDREN'S PLACE (ESPECIALLY ONLINE)
  • WAL-MART (TOYS, HOUSEHOLD)
  • TOYS R US (TOYS)
  • EBAY
  • LOCAL SECOND HAND STORES (ONCE UPON A CHILD, VINTAGE SHOPS)
Once Upon A Child is a great place to get infant and toddler toys.  These toys are rarely worn out and to buy brand new is very expensive for such a short time of use.  Bouncy toys, high chairs, strollers, and other toys are all nice things to purchase used.  When it comes to clothing; jeans, bibs, shoes, winter coats/hats, special occasion outfits... are clothing items that are good to purchase used.  Jean fabric is strong and will absolutely last longer than one child could possibly wear them; as will the other item's mentioned.  Christmas dresses are usually worn only once and are usually well taken care of.  Plus, let's not forget the great finds when it comes to items with the tags still on.  Websites are listed below for quick links.
