However, don't jump into using credit cards to provide gifts that you can't afford. First you need to make a list of those you plan to buy for. Next, begin thinking of ideas of what you might buy for them. If you need a list or a few ideas of places to start, go over to my new website, www.YourHotSale.com. It is still in the early stages, but if you click on the Gift Ideas button near the top, you will get some ideas and suggestions for him, her, Mom, Dad, Teens and pre-Teens.
My intention with this new website is to provide the best deals that I can find on the web each day. Thus helping you through the Christmas season, then as my website expands, for additional gift giving days (birthdays, anniversaries, Mother's Day, Father's Day, etc.) or just shopping in general. So check it out.
Now, due to the economy being so far down in the dumps, you can expect early sales before Black Friday (day after Thanksgiving), as well as after Thanksgiving.
So, here are the tips for you.
- Make out your list of names
- List potential Gift Ideas
- Estimate how much each will cost and plan your budget
- Begin searching for deals online now and make notes about prices
- When you find the price you are willing to pay, buy it, don't wait, popular items may sell out especially if it is a good price. You won't be the only one hunting for a bargain.
If you follow these tips, you will be a frugal, smart shopper, and will avoid the post Christmas surprises when the credit card bills come in.
And don't forget to check out my new website, www.YourHotSale.com. Oh I almost forgot to tell you, I also have some Travel Journals that I have posted to share with you. These are from our personal trips to Hawaii and Italy. I plan to add others including trips to Ireland, London, France, Prague, Switzerland, Munich, Greece and others from the Carribean. I am adding slowly to them but typing is slow. Any volunteers? LOL!!
Happy Shopping!!!
