Unique Christmas Presents

Christmas is approaching in less than a month. I am still sourcing for some unique presents for my girl and hubby. I am thinking of getting a streamlight flashlights for J and a cheap telescope for my girl. Having being married for more than 10 years, romantic gifts are no longer in my list. I prefer to get them something that is useful but reluctant buy during normal days. The Bushnell telescope I saw on OpticsPlanet.net cost only USD69.99. It seems to be a perfect telescope for beginner. I believe the night sky here is a better place for my girl to learn about space, planets and the solar system.

Maybe I will get my hubby to go OpticsPlanet.net to choose a gift from huge selection of binoculars, telescopes, sunglasses, goggles, prescription goggles, rifle scopes, range finders, spotting scopes, flashlights, microscopes, and more.

Press Release:

GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PAST HAUNTS INDEBTED BRITS

- New price saving site launches to save Brits up to 20% this Christmas -

As the nation approaches the final countdown to Christmas, new research rings alarm bells over the financial impact of Christmas in credit crunch Britain. The research from the new money saving website Savebuckets.com reveals that as Brits prepare for Christmas, many are still paying off last year’s festive spending.

With 41 per cent of Britons paying for Christmas on credit last year, almost one in five are still paying for last year’s festivities (17%), fewer than one in three having cleared their Christmas debts when their January credit card bill arrived (29%).

Following a year of consumer confidence in 2006, Christmas spending soared 52 per cent in two years (from an average £548 per adult in 2004* to £837 per adult in 2006), with over one in five Brits spending over £1,000 on Christmas last year (22%). This year, with spending power at its lowest level for 10 years**, consumers are feeling the financial hangover from a more confident Christmas enjoyed on the credit card and loans.

Alarmingly, it is cash strapped youngsters and low income earners who, having spent the most on last Christmas, are most likely to be feeling the repercussions of last year’s spending spree (see figures below).

The research into the financial impacts of last Christmas amongst a GB representative sample of 2,000 British adults was carried out by the new money savings website Savebuckets.com which launches this week to enable Brits to get more for their money this Christmas.

With these alarming figures in mind, Savebuckets.com will give shoppers the opportunity to save up to 20% on their Christmas shopping. Putting consumers back in control of their spending, the site searches over 700 retailers for the best price on around one million products. The site includes a unique price checker which allows consumers to set the price they want to pay for items, notifying them when the price of a product falls to within their budget

Gaining Weight

I am a lazy mummy who hates exercise. I was so happy I lost some weight when I first came to France. I thought being a housewife staying at home with my naughty girl will make me lose more weight due to stress. However, after settling down, I put on more weight while J slim down due to his stressful work. I guessed I have been spending too much time in front of the computer that has caused the weight gain.

To make it worse, I am not sure what my weight is as my bathroom scales broke down few months ago. I came across scalesetc.com while I was surfing the net for a new bathroom scale. They offered digital scales which have lifetime warranting in the US including a cheap digital pocket scales which I am looking into it.

Their food/counting scales caught my eyes as well. This scale can weigh things in grams, pounds or ounces. Interesting part is, it doesn't just weigh things, it can also count them. Check out Scalesetc.com as they sell all kind of scales you can think of.

Do You Use Storage Bins?

We have many different kind of storage bins in the house. Daddy had something like a Tip Bin Storage Unit in the garage storing different sizes of screws. While Shannon had a 8 storage bins shelving to keep her toys need and tidy. I am using different sizes of storage bins for my kitchen to segregate different types of food items as well as a few stacking storage bins for keeping our winter clothing during summer time.

I must admit that storage bins are really useful to keep my house organised!

Garage Storage Cabinets

We have moved to our house for about half a year and our garage is still in a mess. I came across garage storage cabinets which carry over 1000 products to make our garage another room in our house. They have a wide range of storage cabinets which look modern and stylish.

Personally, I would prefer a steel cabinets because they are strong and reliable. However, I will be in France for only 3.5 years, thus I would purchase a wood garage storage cabinets instead. Although it is not as strong as steel cabinets but I believe it will be good enough for us.

I decided to sign up as a member of Trusted Places Community Website while I was reviewing it. It was a community for members to exchange good and bad reviews on the places they have visited. There are reviews on the Restaurants, London bars , Cafe, Culture, Hotel and lots more.

At this moment, the focus in the community will be in UK but will be slowly spread around the world. However it will be really useful enough to us as we will be planning to go London in the near future.
