Most people love coffee, I do and so does my mom and my sister. Buying someone a great coffee maker or gourmet coffees would be a great way to show someone your thinking about them and what they like. I thought about buying my mom a coffee maker this year, but ours broke sooner then planned so I just gave her one I had that I had not used yet. I had bought it when I was planning on moving out.

If you don’t know anyone who needs a coffee maker you can always buy them flavored coffees and some other coffee things and make a cute gift basket. It’s not hard to do and really can be a lot of fun.

Are you looking to get a great deal on cable? I know that having those extra channels can be very expensive, but worth it. If you have kids it’s a must to help keep your sanity, but if your like most people right now you just don’t have a ton of cash to be handing out just to have those extra channels.

What if I told you that you could get a great deal on phone, internet, cable with all of the premium channels and a $250 gift card and a chance to win an xbox 360, just for signing up with Charter cable service. If your not interested in the ultimate package you can also get other packages with smaller gift cards that fit what you need. Like just the cable, phone and internet without the extra channels, you would pay 99.00 for 12 months and get a $150 gift card.

This great deal is part of Charter’s black friday cyber Monday promotion. Really it is a great deal and I would love to take advantage of this one if I could. I am going to be calling a few people to let them know about this as I know they are looking for a better deal then what they have now. They need a phone and would love to have more then 2 channels. The best part about this is if you have a tv that won’t work when everything switches over you won’t have to worry about it, the cable box will take care of it all for you.

Looking for a great deal? I always am and now I have found a ton of really great deals at Amazon.com with their Black Friday Promotion. They have everything from digital cameras and bargain books on sale. The best part about buying on Amazon is that you don’t have to leave your home, go out in the rush and try to grab the good deals. Of course since this has started now, I guess you could still do it anyway!

There are so many sales going on right now that you may want to do some research before you buy. Laptops seem to be a big deal right now and you need to make sure you get the right one. Many people when looking for any type of computer forget the big picture: What you are actually going to use it for! I have compiled a short list of things you need to think about when buying a laptop.

1. What do you need it for? Do you need it for business, personal use or travel? These all make a difference in the size and type of laptop you buy

2. How much space do you really need: Look at the programs you are going to use how much space do they actually use.

3. Are clients, or other people who may judge you going to see it. You want a laptop that looks professional if people are going to see it who may order something from you or who may be investing in you. Yes looks matter.

4. Do you need the camera, headset and all the other accessories they offer with some laptops? If you can’t think of when you will use them, do not pay extra just for these features.

5. Mac or PC. There is a difference. If your buying for business use and are not self employed check with your office about what they use and try to keep it the same. If not find out which one you like more by checking out both brands.

Money right now is tight for everyone, you want to make sure that you invest in the right product for you before you buy. Trust me if you don’t do the research the sales person will sell you more then you need. Remember they are trying to make money too.

Christmas is comming early this year and stores are ready to take your money. I would take advantage of these sales and find a few things for people and maybe yourself, remember it is okay to spend some money, it will help the economy.

Who has sales going on this weekend? Well JC Penny has some great deals on coats and more.The big sale is Saturday morning so make sure to check that out. Kohl’s is also having a sale on sportswear this weekend. I’m sure there are many more, so check your local listings to see where you can save and get some of your Holiday shopping done.

Is your child still bothering you for an Xbox but you just don’t have the money to get it? I’m sure many kids are wanting a new gamine system for Christmas or other holiday, but with the economy it’s just not possible. Of course, you could always check out Charter Communications Xbox Sweepstakes. Where you can win one of 45 Xbox 360 ® Consoles being given away.

Xbox includes

XBox 360® Pro Console
XBox LIVE Headset
Wireless Controller
Component HD AV Cable
20Gb Detachable Hard Drive

You can enter 3 different ways, you can automatically be entered by buying a charter product such as high speed internet, cable TV or telephone service. You can also register online using a valid email address, address and phone number, or you can mail in the same information. The only catch is that you must be living in an area that has charter services, if not you can not enter. It’s sad, I know. I can’t enter but I figured someone reading this will probably be able to.

The drawing actually started yesterday, but you can still enter as there are still a few more boxes to give away. I don’t’ have a gaming system of my own and I would love to get this but as I said I can’t, anyone want to win one for me?

I have a 2 year old nephew who is very very smart for his age, and very energetic too. Unfortunately the place he lives in doesn’t like having children run around, they have no park, parents can’t put anything up and they have a neighbor that complains when the kids are outside playing at all. The other day we found the answer to this problem and started looking at the Fisher-Price Smart Cycle. My mom who is a head start teacher loves it because he can learn while getting some energy out. I love it because it’s portable and if he comes over here they can bring it with them.

There are many places to buy this product, if you don’t have much money right now, check out K-mart that has lay away, or if you have the cash, Target and Wal-mart also carry this toy. I think this is going to be a hot buy this year, even though it’s about $100 it’s just a really good toy. It has many different games, like racing, dinosaur games and also great games for girls, like barbie and Dora games.
