X-Mas Shopping Guide 2007

It’s that season again. I do really like X-Mas but every single year I am telling myself to start shopping earlier next year. Because every time I am totally stressed out and I am worried if things getting to everyone on time. Here I will mention couple of sites where I will do my shopping with some tips here and there.

First off: If you are planning on giving someone the Wii Console as a present.

HURRY! I really mean it. Because this year again, there will be a Wii shortage drama. Amazon shows it. Amazon itself doesn’t have any Wii Systems in Stock only 90 New&Used items are via the Amazon Market Place available. That was how we got our system through Germany (… 1 week after X-Mas) but was really the only way to get our fingers on the Wii Last year.

But no panic .. if you shop now for it you will get one. Here are some places you can still get one:

• Amazon Marketplace
• Shop.com
• Wal-Mart but only as mega bundle
• Ebay I have seen a great bundle with 5 games for $399 - NEW!

Other high demand gifts this year will be the iPhone:

I found this one at Cellular Blowout for $589.95 it’s more expensive at first then the one from ATT but it’s unlocked!!!!!

Apple iPhone 8GB Unlocked Version 1.1.1 w/ GPS, YouTube and More Use any SIM card from T-Mobile, Rogers, Vodaphone or any GSM network or carrier in the world ! Comes preloaded with GPS, YouTube and several games and applications that you cannot find on a standard ATT activated iPhone.

And of course the new generation iPod (especially the iPod Touch) will be under thousands of x-mas trees this year.

All available at Amazon.

We still have a little time to watch the prices on products, especially electronics.

This price Alert system works for:

• iPods
• TVs
• Digital Cameras
• Mp3 Players
• GPS
• Video Games Consoles
• Video Games: Wii, xbox, PS3, PS2

You can sign up for price drop alerts for individual items via RSS. MrDealio just recently got featured on the site "The Bargainist" as a source to find cheap iPods.

Some of you already have seen the RGS Shop which could also be a great resource to find some great gifts:

There I am listing over 200 handpicked items I personally think are cool. Even though I have been a little lazy adding new products there since the server move but by clicking on the following link you will get listed all RGS posts under the Gift Idea Category.

Following is just a joke … but in case you need a cheap ass present for your mother in law check out:

LOL … everything is one dollar! Up to 25.000 items especially on Sundays. But this is not a joke … I actually still keep finding great deals on that site. Some of the highlights:

• Books for a buck
• Video Games for a buck
• DVDs for a buck
• Toys for a buck
• Antiques for a buck
• Everything else for a buck

Now I will point out couple of sites as shopping resources and inspiration … This list I will use to do my shopping this year.

• Amazon (of course) their gift certificates are great for lastminute present.
• Thinkgeek
• j-list
• Hammacher
• Audio Cubes
• Gnr8
• Lighter Side
• Home Shopping Network
• SkyMall
• Sur La Table
• XTreme Geek
• Design Within Reach
• Discovery Channel Store
• Uncommen Goods
• IWOOT
• Firebox
• Boys Stuff
• Perpetual Kid

Pant .. pant.

Really whored myself out with this post But you should be able to do all your xmas shopping with this list.

There will be no presents for Mike and I since I went a little too crazy with our trip to Asia and the move to Spain (we are going to be in Valencia January 3rd to look for apartments) so if you enjoyed RGS this year feel free to snatch something from my Wishlist:

It’s Amazon Germany and things will be shipped to my mom … In return I will mention your site / blog one or the other way No need to be afraid of the site being all in German and stuff .. if you used Amazon before, you know what to do. And if this is too complicated you can just send a little something via Paypal - Every little helps.

Thank you all for the support and for reading RGS. And I apologize if you find this post annoying. I can totally see if you do … so please forgive me.

XOXOXO
