Cheap Gift Ideas for Guitarists

Last Christmas was made so much easier by utilizing the Internet for all that it is worth. I actually purchased every single present online this time. I didn’t have to go to the mall or to Walmart or Target for anything, 100%. Except of course for any of the groceries or items that are sold at the grocery stores. Now that is what I’m talking about!

I did all of my research online as well. There is so much good information out there – it just amazes me. By using sites that offer advice, like the one that I used to find a cheap gift for guitarists which gave me good info that I actually used to help decide a couple of gifts with. I don’t think there really is a music store here in this town. Other than what Walmart and Target have to offer, and that isn’t much at all. So online is the way to go unless you want to drive over an hour to the next town over that has a small music store in the old town district.

Surprised Kitty Video on You Tube

I love finding cute videos on You Tube, the ones with puppies and/or kittens are my favorite. This one just cracks me up each time I watch it. They actually had this on The Animal Planet Channel two nights ago so I rushed to my computer yesterday to see if I could find it on You Tube and sure enough it was there. Gotta love You Tube!

Combonation Pain Relief With Electric Impulses

My mother asked me to Visit LGMedSupply Online and what I can find out about the Combo TENS Unit and Muscle Stimulator that my father has decided to purchase this type of electric impulse pain relief product. His back has been bothering him, big time, for the past couple of years and his doctor just keeps trying to get my father to take narcotics and participate in some therapy. Of course Dad wants nothing to do with either suggestion right now and he is getting grumpier and grumpier which effects everyone in numerous ways, especially my mother!

However, he has consented in trying this combination unit that allows you to receive relief with a double whammy.  This is something that he can do when he needs and wants to do it, having total control over the situation. He has always been a “control freak” so this might just be what we all have been looking and waiting for.

So far I have taken a quick peep at the site and managed to read their online customer blog on YouTube which was well made and interesting. I have been having a hard time posting videos here on my blog. I hope that this one will come through alright, I miss being able to share videos on here.

So far I am impressed with what I see on this medical supply site. I will be over at their house in the next day or two and will talk to both of them and share my thoughts with them at that time. It’s a busy time of the year, but a persons health is the most important thing, ever.

Cheap Eyeglasses Are A Reality

I learned so much about eyeglasses when I worked for the Christmas shopping season at the mall years ago at a small kiosk that sold sunglasses. I never imagined how many varieties, styles, brands, sizes, price ranges, and all of the options that are out there these days for eye wear. I enjoyed working there and the experience has made me more aware of the importance of sunglasses. But I have to say that I was surprised to see how much money some of these sunglasses cost and how many people were willing to shell out some big bucks for some of the famous designer sunglasses. They just felt the need to over pay for these items, paying for the brand name is what they were doing.

Anyway I came out of the deal with enough money to have a good Christmas as well as several pairs of sunglasses that I got while they were on sale and while using my employee discount as well. We all know how easy it is to lose or break your glasses and I’m no different from anyone else and I find myself down to only one pair and that will never do. So I’ve been looking around online to see what I could find there.

I ran across an article in the Examiner that was discussing Zenni Optical and how easy it is (and affordable) to find almost any type of eye wear on their website. You can even download a picture of yourself and they have it set up to where you can virtually try on all the glasses that they sell. You name it and they seem to have it there, good quality eye wear for cheap prices.  I’ve had fun experimenting with it all and I’m placing my order next Friday. I’ll let you know what I think when I receive my order. Might even post a picture or two!

A Good Quality Raleigh Cleaning Service

Spending some time online looking at gift options for my sister. I think she would really appreciate a raleigh cleaning service that would come into her house and get it a good cleaning, from top to bottom. She has been very overwhelmed with the new baby and her two and a half year old, which isn’t allowing her the time that she needs to get everything done that normally she would be right on top of.

The Other Woman, Inc sounds like they would be the perfect fit for what sis needs and wants. I have heard about The Other Woman from other people and they all seem to be satisfied with them. Word of mouth is still the best way of advertising, with the Internet falling right on it’s heels. I hope that this gift from me to her will make her Christmas a good one and that we have many more Christmas holidays ahead of us all.

Online Shopping Is The Only Way To Go This Christmas

This year I am trying to purchase as many gifts as I can online. I hate everything about the holiday shopping madness that we find ourselves in each year and last year was the last of it for me. I can’t stand the crowds, the Christmas music, the loud and unruly kids, the weather, the parking and everything else that we have to go through each Christmas. There are plenty of great deals to be found using the Internet. You can find just about anything that you could imagine online. And more people are turning to the Internet for their purchases, what with free shipping, promo codes and coupons a plenty, merchants are bending over backwards to accommodate the growing population of online shoppers like myself.

My sister is also trying to avoid the mall and the other merchants like Walmart, Target and the like. So we are bouncing ideas and web site links back and forth to each other more and more as Christmas is fast approaching. She found some decent Best Buy promo codes over the weekend and shot me off a quick email with the link to Savings.com to see if I could find anything that I would be interested in. Right now that are advertising: 10-50% Off DVDs: Select Titles $6.99 And Under which is a good price, DVDs are always a good gift to give to just about anyone these days. I have found that they are offering “Save $15-$70 on Select GPS Receivers & GPS Accessories” which is a chunk of change to knock off of the total price at checkout time.

With deals like this out there who needs to go out to get ready for the holidays?

Fashion Jewelry For Christmas Gift Giving

You really have to check this site for fashion jewelry, for the up and coming gift giving requirements, that are looming right ahead of us, The Jewler’s Wife! I remember ordering several pieces from them last year right about this time and was happy with the whole process and the products that I received as well.

I really hate waiting for the last minute to get all of the gifts purchased, in my spare room, wrapped and ready to go for all the people that I end up buying gifts for each year. Online shopping is the way to go these days. You won’t catch me in any old brick and mortar stores during the long and tedious holiday shopping frenzy!

Zenni Optical Online

I love how the Internet makes it possible to research products and compare prices, at my convenience and letting my fingers do the walking on my lap top’s keyboard. I just got back from the eye doctor and it seems that I need new eyeglasses. Not just any type of eyeglasses mind you but bifocals, ugh……………In my mind I’m way too young to be needing bifocals, but the doctor knows best, right?

With money being so tight I was leery of going next door and purchasing my new glasses at the optical store which is so conveniently located right next store to his office. I wanted a chance to do some comparison shopping to see what types of deals I could find on my own. I’ve heard good things about Zenni Optical so I took some time this afternoon during my break at work and checked them out. When I Googled Zenni Optical I found an article that enlightened me about Zenni Optical. Did you know that they start their eyeglasses at $8.00, now how cool is that to be able to get good quality glasses at a nice low price? I’ll let you know how it all pans out and I might even post a picture of me with my new glasses on…………………….

Fun With Photos

I’ve always been a bit leery of sites that offer you to make funny pictures of the photos that we all have stored on our PC. I’ve been using the computer and the Internet for many a years, but I have my strong points and my weaknesses as well and photos are one of my weaknesses. I mean I know how to take a picture, but then having to download it to my PC is another story, I can never find the right cable and then to top it all of with I can’t seem to figure out where the best place to download the buggers into. Something so simple can really mess with my mind, silly but true.

Anyway, once I’ve downloaded them they usually stay right there, but since my good friend Judy came over last night and showed me a great website that allows you to create funny pictures from your photos store on your computer’s hard drive, I think that I finally have the whole thing figured out and under control. I’ve got a lot of great pictures that have been sent to me throughout the years and I came up with one that was taken of me a few years back at an office party that I decided to play around with and I came up with a few fun photo effects that I thought were playful enough to continue messing with!
