Send a Buy.com Gift Certificate

Running out of time for your holiday shopping? Gift certificates are often the best choice at such a time. Here’s a link for purchasing a gift card from Buy.com with an option to send the certificate by email or postal mail. Considering today’s Wednesday the email option is looking very attractive, especially when you consider the crowds at the shopping malls.

A Buy.com Gift Certificate makes it easy for you, and easy for the person you send the certifcate, too. Neither one of you will have to deal with the traffic, the parking lots, or the crowded stores. The entire shopping experience can be handled from the comfort of home.

Gift certificates can be made out for any amount from $10 to $2,000. So be an Instant Santa! Get a gift certificate from Buy.com for your Holiday presents! Order before 12/25/09. I know, the “12/25/09″ in the link is a little scary, but have no fear, the expiration date applies to the link, not the gift card.

Once your friend receives their gift certificate they have up to a year to deposit the funds from the gift card into a Buy.com account. Once they do that the funds are good until spent. The funds won’t expire.

Dell mini 9 Netbook (Hot! Hot! Hot!)


Did I say “Hot! Hot! Hot!” already?  Lemme look …. hmmm (looks up a little bit) …. yes … yes, I did. Okay.

The Dell mini 9 Netbook is one of the hot items for holiday shopping this year.  It’s not Cabbage Patch doll or a Wii.  (Who remembers the Cabbage Patch doll craze?)

Save $250 on the Inspiron 1525 laptop! Only $599 after Instant Savings!

The Dell mini 9 is a small — every dimension is under 10 inches — and incredible light at about 2 pounds. Yet very powerful computer.  My favorite part is the Flash, or solid state, drive. That’s where everything is stored.  The Flash drive has no moving parts so its fast and durable, and durable is what you need with a machine so small you can take it just about anywhere. That’s great if you getting one or more for your kids.

It’s also great for business people who need to travel light and fast. My friend, Evantz Saint-Gerard of Nationwide Equities Corp., tells me his business partner, Dean Graber, is crazy about his mini 9, and now Evantz can’t wait to get one, too. Tami Racaniello of It’s Time To Get Fit, is also considering getting one, too. I’ve been recommending this computer left and right.

I’m mentioning it again because if you act fast you can get one today from Dell for $299.  That’s after a special today only savings of $50.

The base unit — which is completely customizable when you order — is Alpine White, and runs on Linux (Ubuntu v8.04.1), 1Yr Ltd Warranty and Mail-In Service, 512MB RAM (Memory), 4GB Solid State Drive, an Intel® Atom Processor® N270 (1.6GHz/533Mhz FSB/512K cache), a glossy 8.9 inch LED display (1024X600), and a Wireless 802.11g Mini Card.

Save $250 on the Inspiron 1525 laptop! Only $599 after Instant Savings!

Want more deals? Okay, I know, who doesn’t.

Another “Today Only” special offer from Dell is a 1 terabyte, that’s 1,000 gigabytes, of external storage for only $189 after $80 in savings.  That is a really great deal, and I’m offering it to you through this link: Get the 1TB MyBook World Edition 2 Drive for only $189.99 after $80 Instant Savings!

Make someone smile with a letter from Santa

Young children around the world send letters to Santa Claus every year, but how many of them get a letter from Santa?  An actual letter, not an email. This year any or all of the children in your family could get their very own letter from Santa.  Or perhaps your entire family would like to hear from St. Nick?

Sent By Santa allows you to order and send your very own letter from Santa to any member of your family, or your entire family. Each customized letter signed by Santa and sealed in an envelope postmarked from the “North Pole” (if ordered bye Dec. 6).

Sent by Santa provides you with sample text to work with. Any and all of the message can be altered by you online. The basic letter includes the child’s name and hometown.

Each letter is $9.95 which includes the envelope, a customized letter, and shipping with no hidden extras. If you order 3 letters, you get the 4th one free. There’s also an option to get a ”postcard from an elf” for $3.95.

Also on the site…

The site also has features for emailing your friends about the Sent by Santa service.

They also have two Flash animated games for older kids and adults that can be played online. One games is a memory game, and the other is a snowboard race game.  Fortunately, the memory games isn’t timed because I took way too long to finish.

Most interesting on the site is a list of gift ideas “for him” and “for her”. The suggestions include Rolex watches, iPod Nanos, Louis Vuitton bags, GPS units, Mandarin Oriental Spa gift packages, and HDTVs.

So take a look at the site and the service. And order your letter(s) by Dec. 6 to get a genuine North Pole postmark. Santa will think I’ve been good this year if you do.
