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.

Trying to find a special gift for a friend

by The Shopping Maniac

One of my friends is turning the big four 0 soon and I’m trying to think of what to get her for her special birthday.

She’s not one to even celebrate her birthdays let alone expect extravagant gifts, however I want to get her something nice. Something that she’d use and hopefully enjoy for a long time.

I’ve been looking at some personalized gifts. She’s a photographer so I was thinking that a personalized photo frame or something similar might be nice for her.

Of course I’ll probably get her something else as well – maybe a gift certificate for a spa day or something like that.

What would you get for a good friend who’s turning forty?

Why do stores have fall clothing already?

by The Shopping Maniac

I find it funny how stores advertise or stock their stores for different seasons.

A couple of weeks ago I was in a department store and I decided that I wanted to look for some summer clothes – things like shorts and light tops – and I had a hard time finding anything. I couldn’t believe that it was the beginning of July and they already had a good selection of fall clothing.

I’m sure it won’t be long before I start seeing ads for Halloween and Cyber Monday sales. LOL

How are the stores in your area? Do they still have a good selection of summer clothing or are they like the stores here in Toronto – filled mostly with clothes for Autumn?

Spa, shopping and dinner with the girls tomorrow

by The Shopping Maniac

I’m getting together with a few of my girlfriends tomorrow. I’ve been on the phone all evening it seems putting together an interesting weekend.

We’re going to meet downtown for lunch and then we all have appointments for facials at a spa. Sounds good? Uh huh. Then if we aren’t too relaxed after our time in the spa we’re going to go down to the fashion district and shop till we drop!

I just have to try to keep one of my friends out of office furniture supplies stores! LOL She just got a new job managing an office -actually setting up the business – so I’m sure she’ll have work on her mind since she’s responsible for buying all the furniture and supplies they need to set up shop.

Once we’ve finished shopping we have reservations at a fantastic french restaurant. I haven’t been there for a long time so I’m really looking forward to dinner. Then we’ll see how the rest of the evening goes.

I have a feeling I’ll be sleeping in on Sunday!

Coupons and discounts – all right!

by The Shopping Maniac

Over the last few months I’ve become quite the frugal shopper.

I’ve almost always been the kind of person that compares flyers and looks for sales in order to get the best price for things I want to buy. Especially if it’s a big purchase! I also use a few websites that offer coupons. I just select the coupons I want and they mail them off to me. I love that!

I’m happy to say that I’ve found a new site for coupons! The site has listings for coupons and discounts for over 800 online stores. Isn’t that great?

I’ve only just started looking at the site and I’m hoping that some of the great deals that I’m seeing apply to me as a Canadian online shopper. I know that I have a lot of American readers so even if I can’t get much use out of this site I’m sure they will. Everyone’s looking for deals and discounts these days.
