Holiday Shopping Online

When I was little, my sister and I used to sit at our Grandmother's kitchen table with the J.C. Penny's catalog, a pencil and paper, and the knowledge that Santa Claus was going to get our letters. In school, every year, there was a Santa's Workshop where we would take our saved money and buy Christmas gifts for our parents, friends and family. Nothing too exotic - I distinctly remember "rabbit's foot" key-chains being a popular choice.

Needless to say - christmas shopping has changed quite a bit for me!

But I hate going to the mall, and I hate wrapping gifts. A few years ago, I started to do ALL of my Christmas shopping online. And I love it.

Most orders are shipped free and there's the option of having it gift wrapped as well. And its convenient.

Whether I'm just getting home from work and I only have a few minutes to shop, or it's a lazy weekend and I don't want to get out of my bathrobe- no worries!

And most times, as a reward to me, I often indulge in an eBook. I mean, I've been good too, right?

Another good way to go, is to buy gift cards. Many people say that they don't like buying gift cards because it feels impersonal. But isn't it the thought that counts? The thought that you are giving a gift that can BE any gift. And it allows the one you're shopping for the freedom to indulge themselves with a purchase they wouldn't ordinarily make, all because of you.

Do yourself a favor this holiday season and simplify your shopping!

Random Review #1: The Kindle

  

My Store

I was extremely hesitant at first, to put myself into any type of eBook. I always enjoyed the feel of an actual book. Holding a device to read off just felt unnatural. The I decided to give it a try.

My eBook choice was the Kindle. I also purchased the cover for both the reading light, and to protect the device. The best part about the cover actually turned out to be the 'feel' of the Kindle in the cover. It felt just like an actually book. I can't wait to try the Kindle Fire HD too!

It was very easy to set up an account, make my first purchase, and start reading.

If you're looking for a basic e Reader, your best bet would be to try an first, if you have a smart phone.

I have only used the iPhone app. I found it to be very convenient to use. There is a ton of media to choose from at Amazon.

A personal favorite of mine is the 'Wheel of Time' series by Robert Jordan and Brian Sanderson.



All of these items can be found in the 'Kindle' section of 'My Store' up above.
