subject: This Year's Holiday Season Is All About Game Consoles And Wedding Jewelry [print this page] By now the holidays are just about over, which to most people means it's time to relax. But why relax when you've got such a good momentum going on? Now is the time to strike! Christmas is over, which means everything's going on sale just in time to ring in the New Year with some sweet gifts. Waiting until after Christmas also gives you the benefit of knowing exactly what the recipient already got or didn't get.
Here are a few ideas to get you started:
A Game Console
Game consoles have come a long way since the days of Pacman. You can watch movies, listen to music and, of course, play games on them but not any ordinary games. Games these days are insane half of them look better than live-action movies. Look into the Wii, X-Box 360 and PS3 if you have a Netflix account you can stream movies through them onto your TV. On the Wii you can also play interactive sports games and exercise, play music, even dance.
A Woman's Diamond Ring
With New Year's Eve just days away, start the new year with a proposal of marriage. It'll be a New Year's Eve she'll never forget! There's a multitude of sites online that have discount diamonds rings for sale.
An E-reader
Perfect for voracious readers don't want to cart around multiple pieces of reading material, e-readers can range in price anywhere from $139 (for the Amazon Kindle) to $829 (for the most expensive iPad from Apple, which is actually a tablet computer with an e-book function). The other most popular e-reader out on the market is the Nook from Barnes and Noble, which now comes in color.
A Vacation
Most people can't motivate themselves to plan a vacation, so why not do it for them? Do a little sleuth work and find out if there are any places the recipient has been wanting to go, and when they have vacation time coming up. Buy the tickets and a few nights at a hotel, and surprise them. Just in case the recipient absolutely can't make it during that time, get them a gift credit card so they can change the reservations.
Gift Card
Speaking of gift cards, despite often being considered a copout, they make great gifts. Think of it this way: if you consider yourself a terrible gift-giver, they're absolutely the way to go. If you're not sure what kind of stores the recipient likes, go with a pre-paid credit gift card he or she can use wherever. They're the best of both worlds: free money that can be spent anywhere.
These are just a few gifts to consider to ring in the New Year. Keep your eyes open for more deals and discounts they're sure to grow in number in the weeks directly following Christmas.
