A UK Christmas Card Search

Holly — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 15:38:07 +0000

I have a friend of mine who is moving to the UK and she wanted me to see if she could order some great christmas cards online. She wants to order them here and have them sent to her new address as she will be moving at the end of the month. I did manage to find a great site called 123print.com and I sent the url off to her.

The christmas cards are really cute, festive and fun. I think they will be a perfect fit for her and her style and need. Another think that’s cool about them is that they offer a sample kit so you can see how the cards are printed before you buy them. As a business owner I love that!

Where do you buy your christmas cards? Would you ever consider ordering online?

Christmas Shopping Is Done

Holly — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 15:53:14 +0000

I am very happy that I now have all of my christmas shopping done and I don’t have to worry about it anymore! It’s a nice feeling as it really was very hard this year. I only had $10 per person to spend and yes there were a lot of deals out there, but not for what I could afford.

Lucky we did get a really good gift for my mom and I hope she likes it. She won’t be reading this but I’m still not sure if anyone she knows does so I’m not telling! Everyone else I think I got good gifts for and I’m sure they will like them. We are not the type of family that goes by how much the gift is, but just the fact that you got something. I think if it came down to it we really wouldn’t worry about exchanging gifts anyway, though I think my brother and step dad may pitch a fit, they both act like babies about stuff.

Anyway are you done with your shopping yet, only 1 more day left! (after today)

Christmas Gift Ideas: For The Nascar Fan

Holly — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 00:25:38 +0000

I love nascar, but my sister and her friend love it so much more. One of her favorite drivers is Dale Jr. She has liked him for a long time and I think I found the perfect gift for my sister to get her, it’s a Centon 4GB USB Drive and it’s shaped like Jr’s car. It’s really a cool looking thing and since my sister won’t be seeing this friend until New Years eve she can still order it and have it to give to her.

I’m really happy I found this tonight as we spent all day going from sale to sale trying to find something for this person and a few others, we did well with the others and I’m happy to say my christmas shopping is complete except for a few lottery tickets I’m buying. Unfortunately we didn’t find anything for my sisters friend. I know she’s thinking about going back to school so a USB drive would be something she can use. Now if only I could find a Brian Vickers one I would be very happy. I’m guessing though that they don’t make one for him as he’s not a big deal driver like the rest of these guys. I do wonder if they make a Kasy one though, my sister would love it for her birthday.

Christmas Gift Ideas: For The Party Person

Holly — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 17:52:42 +0000

We all know someone who loves to entertain, either they have dinners or just full out drunken parties. Either way they would love to have this really cool bar butler that rotates. How many people to you know have something like that? I don’t know many and I think it’s really very cool, though I probably would not use it too much, on the other hand I do love shots.

Right now is the best time to buy something like this as it’s sure to be on sale for the holidays. It would also be a very useful gift right now since new years is also right around the corner and most people who love to entertain will be holding their own parties.

Another cool item you should look out for is the Oster Rechargeable wine bottle opener it comes with a wine chiller and could either complement the above gift or be a really cool gift all on it’s own. One thing you need to remember is that both of these gifts will not come with the liqure or wine, so my suggestion is if you get this and you know you will be over for another party very soon, make sure to bring something to put in these gifts. It’s the polite thing to do.

Christmas Gift Ideas: The Computer Nut

Holly — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 15:28:31 +0000

Sometimes you find that person who you just can’t pull away from the computer for anything. They do everything from watch TV, listen to music and more right on their computer. In fact your sure that they will be spending all of Christmas at the computer this year, again. For this person I would look into something that may get them away from the computer for at least a little while, it’s the Kensington Slimblade media mouse and it’s really a very cool little item. It allows you to play music and go though other media files away from your computer. another cool thing about this mouse is that it will go to sleep when your computer does, that way your not running down the battery all of the time. I love features like that myself and I’m sure others will too.

If you think this mouse may be a gift for someone you know you may also love the fact that right now it is on sale at buy.com for $53.30. A little high for a mouse I know, but think about it, it may just get that huge computer nut away from the computer and actually participating in a few things this Christmas, and if not at least you can know that you got them something different and pretty cool too.

Almost Done Shopping

Holly — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 14:46:33 +0000

I haven’t officially gotten some of the gifts that I am getting, but we know what they are and I’m just waiting for everyone else to get their money together for these gifts. I did get a few things yesterday when I went shopping and I have to say I am very happy with what I have chosen.

I still have to get something for 2 of my sisters but I only have 2 things I’m choosing from for one and the other I have no clue, but I’m hoping to head out Friday or Saturday to get some more shopping done and I’ll probably be takeing my brother along with me. I don’t have much to spend on everyone, but I’ve been doing pretty well the last few days with getting things and I do think they are things that my family will like.
