Trying to get some Christmas shopping done

by The Shopping Maniac

Well it’s already November and as usual I still haven’t started my Christmas shopping yet. Oh I know – some of you reading this have been finished for months. I know, I know! Still … there are plenty of you out there that are in the same boat as me – you either haven’t started shopping yet or you’ve only just started … or worse, you might not get started until the week or so before Christmas. I’ve done that too!

I would like to get some, if not all, of my Christmas shopping done before November is over if that’s possible. I’d love to be finished before the stores and malls are crowded with people. Better yet – I might even be able to do some of my Christmas shopping online. I found a site that has some great ideas for personalized mens gifts and that might help me cross a few names off my list.

How are you doing with your Holiday shopping? Did you start yet? One thing that I know for sure – I’m going to try not to spend too much this year!

A cute little craft site takes off

by The Shopping Maniac

My niece has been busy starting her own business. It’s a craft based business where she makes hair clips, earrings, metal art, knitwear, baby clothing and all kinds of things. Everything is adorable!

She came to me a month or so ago asking for advice on how to start a small business and once I knew what kind of business she was working on I suggested that she set up on Etsy. However things have just exploded for her in the last month and I hear that she might be looking into unsecured business loans soon! Yes … that’s how fast things are picking up.

I hope that her business takes off. Of course if it does she’ll probably have to hire a few people to help her out. Anyway if you love craft items or need to get some as gifts for friends or relatives check out Muench Love Creations.

Thinking of Christmas gifts for the kids

by The Shopping Maniac

I don’t think we’ll be buying too many Christmas gifts for our friends and relatives this year due to our poor financial situation, however I’m trying to get a few ideas together for the gifts that we’re buying for the kids.

I think I have the gifts for our nieces figured out, and I have a few creative ideas for the nephews. One of my nephews is really into baseball. He plays on a school team and then in the summer in plays in a community little league. So .. I thought about maybe getting him one of those personalized baseball bats. I think he’d love it. Gifts for the rest of the boys are pretty easy … video games, video games and more video games. They love them!

Guests for the holidays

by The Shopping Maniac

I was talking to my mother in law earlier this evening and it looks like we’ll probably have guests at Christmas time this year.

My brother in law might be coming for a visit from Chicago. We don’t know for sure yet, but my mother in law said he’s going to try to come to the Toronto area if he can .. if only for a few days.

I guess we’re going to have to visit a few cigar retailers to try to find his favorite cigars. He loves nothing more than having a cigar when he comes for a visit to Toronto … only this year he’s not going to have my husband to smoke with since we both quit smoking this year! I’m sure he’ll be disappointed but he’ll get over it.

Are you having out of town guests during the holidays? Do you do anything special when you’re expecting guests?

Diecast Gifts for Truckers Are Valuable

by The Shopping Maniac

If you’re looking for unique gifts for truckers or for anyone who is a truck and/or vehicle enthusiast, you might want to consider giving them diecast toys the next time a present is in order. The idea of giving someone – especially an adult – a die cast model truck may not sound like much of a great gift idea, but for people who like to collect interesting things or those who really like trucks, a detailed model is a welcome addition to their home, office, or wherever else they would like to put it on display.

After all, don’t let the term “diecast toy” fool you. While they certainly can be playthings that amuse children, there are all different types of figurines that make for fabulous showpieces and add to the décor in a person’s home. Furthermore, these aren’t cheep toys. Available in various sizes, colors, designs, and replicas, the majority of die-cast products purchased as collectors items have moveable parts, are a work of art, and are often quite valuable.

Thus, not only are die-cast truck models great gifts for truckers who may want to add to or start building a collection of their own, but they are also ideal for collecting should the gift receiver wish to sell it to other collectors in the future when its value increases.
