And on a More Cheerful Note
It's holiday shopping season! Well, holiday shopping season starts for me as early as possible. I like to have it all done by Thanksgiving, as I hate holiday crowds. I've got my list about halfway done (the writing of it, not the actual buying part), but having a plan is half the battle. We do as much online shopping as possible (again, because of the crowds and hassle), and more and more you can find coupon deals for things like free shipping through sites like couponchief.com.
I don't want to give away what I'm getting for everyone, but I'm looking at some electronics for the parents, so I will probably go to the Best Buy bricks-and-mortar store to test drive some things, then look for deals online. I hope to find a great GPS navigator for my dad (I can say that here, because I'm pretty darn sure my dad doesn't even know what a blog is...)
Then there's the obligatory photographs of the Bug, which I always do through Snapfish. And we always do a big order through Amazon for Christmas. Lots of people on our list get movies, music, or books. And I'm so excited now that Amazon is carrying so much more. I just ordered shoes the other day through endless.com, which is an Amazon partner site. I've finally accepted the fact that I wear a wide shoe, which is hard to find in real life. Enter virtual shopping. I don't see any coupons on Coupon Chief for Endless, but they do have some for Zappos. Same deal. How can you resist when you can look at 15 different views, search by color, style, heel height, and size; they send the shoes overnight with free shipping, and if you don't like them you can send them back for free too! I think I will never set foot in a shoe store ever again. Yes, I do end up doing some Christmas shopping for myself too...
