Amazon.com Has the Best Black Friday Deals

Black Friday is in full swing, and it's hard not to know it with the constant stream of commercials on TV and Black Friday E-Mails pouring into my inbox.  I think many people have forgot that a few years ago this day was simply known as "the worst shopping day of the year," and the main idea behind it was people shopping for Christmas presents early. 

These days "Black Friday" is an event that is all about competition, stampedes, and probably some early Christmas shopping still in there as well.  This year as I checked out the deals at various stores, nothing really stood out to me as worth getting up at 5 a.m. or anywhere in that time frame for.  15% off, 30% off, are those numbers really enough to set up a tent outside a store for? 

One of the main parts of Black Friday that I was interested in was seeing what kind of crazy deals Amazon.com would offer, as they usually let you vote in rounds on some mega deals, and then offer the deal that wins to select people.  I never got offered but was still hoping to catch something one day.  Well this year all of that is off, and Amazon has been doing Black Friday deals all week on various items.  Nothing really stood out until today, and Amazon is throwing out great deals left and right.  They put something up, then show you what % of the item has been claimed, once it's at 100% the deal goes away.  We're talking 5 dollars or less for DVD's, Blu Rays for 10, and video games at 50-80% off here.  The video games especially stand out, because these are new games that are hot yet majorly discounted. 

So if you have the itch to shop on this worst day of the year, yet shutter at the thought of crowds and parking nightmares, I highly recommend shopping the Amazon.com Black Friday Deals.

Netflix Makes a Good Christmas Present

Netflix, Inc.

A Netflix Gift subscription makes a great Christmas Present. I just bought a 12 month netflix subscription for someone special. They also have 1,3, and 6 month gift subscriptions.

Most people like movies. Why give a DVD someone won't like or might watch only once? For less than the cost of 1 DVD per month, you can rent movies several times. Starting at only $8.99 a one month Netflix gift can make the perfect stocking stuffer. Netflix allows you to sent the gift by email or print out a certificate. The recipient then transfer the subscription to his/her account.

Christmas Shopping for Picky People

I'm always keeping my eye of for unique Christmas presents and special Christmas shopping deals online. I look at a lot of blogs as well as major sites looking for ideas.

I cam across a link today that promised gift ideas for picky people. As in, What do you buy for the person who has everything? I don't know, let's see what they suggested.

They suggested wireless headphones for the gamer or audiophile. Good idea.

Another gift was a cell phone charger pen? I'm not sure that one makes much sense to me. As a gimmick, maybe, but does anyone want that?

Other suggestions were not really that unique in my opinion. Included were a shower mirror radio, an organizer/charging station for electronics, a weather station ( that one might be neat for some people), and a reading light.
