Gift for children -
- Avoid small items for it can lead to choking hazards, if swallowed
- Avoid items made of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC). Little kids can be exposed to lead contamination
- Avoid gifts with chemical hazards.
- Avoid fragile or brittle items. If broken, they will surely receive a blow on the back from guardians for your gift and it may even lead to injuries.
- Avoid items with sharp edges
- Avoid Aon-organic food stuff
- Avoid too much candy or chocolates.
- Avoid anything that can hurt sentiment of the recipients.
- Avoid anything which makes no sense for the recipients. For example, if you want to irritate me, simply send me a new video game. This is absolutely useless. At the best, I can handover the same to someone more interested in gaming.
- Avoid something really big - Gone are the days when we had a lot of space. We mostly live in small compartments. So, avoid gifts like a big furniture for your sons and daughters unless they have indicated to buy one for them.
- Avoid gifts, which need maintenance - A lot of time we consider home appliances as great gift. But you must double check maintenance needs. The free gift may invite a lot of additional burden for the recipient, if he has to invest in maintenance every six months. He will surely be scared of receiving any gift from you in future.
- Avoid Gift Certificates - Do not consider a gift certificate for someone, who may have difficulties to redeem it.
- Avoid being repetitive - Just close your eyes and think of the ROLEX Watch Email SPAM. If you continue to dispatch the same coffee mug each year, the recipients may not enjoy that at all. Even if you want to stick to flowers, consider a different design this year. The same is true for greeting cards.
- Do not consider a puppy - For God's sake, it makes no sense to consider a playful puppy as gift for someone you love, if she is least interested to take care of this heavenly creature. This will be very painful experience for both.

Big Ticket Bargains
I can not officially warrant exact amount of savings as it definitely fluctuates a lot. But you can expect a 10% - 50% savings on your orders plus extra savings on shipping charges. Particularly jewelry stores are offering insane bargains this Christmas. So, have a look at your favorite jewelry store, in case you have plan to consider a real investment.
There are great bargains on big ticket items as well. Like HDTVs from Sears.com will continue to feature discounts; BestBuy laptops will also exhibit a price cut. Home appliances and fitness equipments like treadmills will be featured at a discount rate as well. Market is really tough - not only for us but also for the sellers. Luring prices are the last weapon they have to attract and keep customers spending. Take advantage of it.
If YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY MONEY AT ALL

Christmas Shopping: I need money! I need money!
I understand you need money for Christmas gift purchase, for home improvement, for emergency repairing, for buying winter garments, and what not. I hope Santa will favor you as well on that big day. For the time being, take a look at websites like Lending Club, CashNetUSA for some immediate cash relief. The processing does not take years. But be sure to make your own repayment plan. If you don't have a solid repayment option - better not to lend money anymore.

Wow! I just want to remind you once more. Did you create your address book for this year's recipients? If not done so already, create the list right now. The list should include name, email address, phone number and mailing address. Consider sending gift cards and certificates by email to pay less on shipping and spend more on gift orders.
The LAST year...
Well we should start planning for Christmas spending much earlier - at the least six months before the Christmas. We need to save a fraction of our monthly income to get the cash in hand just before Christmas. But a lot of us simply ignore the importance of saving money. If you don't have enough money in hand, you can consider taking help from financial services to make emergency arrangements. BUT take an oath. This must be the last year that you will pay later. Start saving money soon after Christmas!

In this jet-age it does not take too long to reach another Christmas. But by that time, you will have enough FUND to buy gifts of your choice. And for this year, start shopping early, may be, right after reading this post. Checkout Christmas coupons for ongoing deals and exclusive offers.
