The holidays always seem to sneak up on us so quickly. Before we know it, we’re setting up our Christmas tree, decorating the house with our Christmas supplies, and wrapping up presents to put under the tree.

Although Christmas is somewhat of an expensive time for just about everyone, it doesn’t have to be! You can have fun, make your own Christmas decorations, and crafts for your home for a very cheap price. If you’re interested in ways to save money on your Christmas crafts this year, consider these ideas!

Around your home: You won’t believe what you can find around your yard and your home. Not only can you use the pine cones that fell from your tree and spray paint them or spray them with Christmas scents, but you can also use old candles that can be re-melted and then turned into pretty Christmas candle decorations for a center piece! Just use the wax from old candles and the colors of your favorite crayons for added color!

You can also consider buying plain things like garland and wreaths to then dress them up with a few poinsettias that you have around the house. There are hundreds of ideas out there!

Michaels: Michaels and Jo-Ann Fabrics are great stores to buy your supplies. You can check out their websites online and print out 40% coupons, or even clip the coupons out of your Sunday paper. Make several trips if you have to, the amounts of money you can save are outrageous!

Dollar Tree: If you haven’t been to Dollar Tree lately, now is the time to go! You won’t believe what they have for a buck! Not only do they have wreath hangers for the door, but they also have Christmas tree bulbs, wrapping paper, bows, ribbon, pretty poinsettias, and just about everything else Christmas related!

Make your own cards: Some people like to buy each individual Christmas card at a Hallmark for $3-$4 each! I say skip that idea and make your own! Get a nice picture of the family, get a nice colored pen to write a message, and make the card out of old scrapbook paper that you don’t use!

Garage Sales: Garage sales are good for more than just buying reused baby supplies and books; you can definitely find great Christmas décor, as well as crafts at garage sales. Often, you can find anything from Christmas trees, to bulbs, and even beautiful wreaths. If you don’t like the items 100%, you can easily turn them into a craft for fixing them up. This is a great way to save money, as well as find a hobby!

There are several ways to save money on Christmas crafts! Whether you make your own centerpiece with supplies from the Dollar store, of you consider using the pinecones out of your back yard, you can save bundles this Christmas season! What’s most important is that you make your home look nice for an affordable price, yet you still have money to splurge on those gifts for the ones you love most.

Long lazy summer days offer the perfect opportunity to clear out the house, and maybe even make a garage sale. While spring cleaning, you’re sure to come up with broken chains, old bracelets, and various precious metals that no longer hold any value to you. Selling them now will afford you an added measure of peace of mind in the winter, when shopping for holiday gifts.

When finding old treasures, it doesn’t have to be only gold. You can sell platinum, silver, gold, or any precious metals. The selling of precious metals benefits everyone, as the added cash flow helps consumers, retailers, and goes all the way up the chain to wholesalers and manufacturers. For the consumer personally, the added cash can be used in two ways.

It can go to widening the gift budget or you may also want to think about revamping your jewelry collection. Any evening wear can be dressed up immensely with the right jewels. If your jewelry has seen better days, this might be a great opportunity to trade it in. Costume jewelry is all the rage these days, and you can get a lot more than you have now by trading in your old gold.

Before selling your gold, make sure you’ve done your homework so you get the payout you deserve. You can sell your gold online, to a local jeweler, or to a pawnshop. It is advisable to weigh the pros and cons of each. When selling to a pawnshop, you’ll receive money upfront with no questions asked, but they may not pay you as much due to overhead costs.

A local jeweler will do the same, but again, he still has to pay a metal refiner to melt the gold down, so that will cut into your profit. An online gold buyer may offer the most due to minimal overhead costs. Many online buyers are metal refiners, so make sure that the company you are using is one. Also, it is important to check references of an online company to ensure that they are reliable.

No matter who you choose to sell your gold to, the profits will definitely help when you do your holiday shopping, whether for gifts, or for your own evening wear.

Bio:
Mark Rich is a gold expert who recommends that consumers should sell gold now, while gold prices are high, and save the cash for the holidays, when extra money is welcome. He recommends Captain Cash for Gold as a reputable metal refiner.

I don’t know about you, but when I think of Christmas parties, I think of warm, toasty get-togethers with family and close friends. A cozy fire complete with sentimental stories. Do we ever really let a year go by without mentioning, “You’ll shoot your eye out kid” from “A Christmas Story”?

Or maybe your idea of a Christmas party is a little more like “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation”? Well, maybe not quite that eventful- but here are a few ideas to start your holiday season off right!

Christmas parties are thrown for a wide variety of guests, and each should be considered in order to be a success. Christmas parties can be for family, friends, office co-workers, or one big combined party. Here are some ideas for different guests in mind:

Activity Ideas

• Christmas caroling party. Go caroling in the neighborhood and invite the group to your house afterward for hot chocolate and desserts.
• Potluck dinners. Arrange for everyone to bring a dish to share. It not only makes it easier for you, but your guests get to try new dishes and show off their culinary skills.
• Christmas around the world potluck dinner. Have guests bring dishes that reflect their ethnicities and countries of origin.
• Volunteer at a charitable organization. Arrange for your group to gather needed items for a charity, such as a hunger center. Get the real “reason for the season” going and give back to the community. Come back to the hosts home and share your experiences over coffee.
• Holiday lights tour. Caravan through local neighborhoods and enjoy the festive lights and decorations.
• Cookie baking parties. Get a large group together and bake up a storm. Divvy up the desserts to each guest so that each has a variety to have for their own holiday guests.
• Christmas craft creations. Have each guest be responsible for one craft to make, including the purchase of supplies. Each guest will demonstrate how to do the craft, and other guests will try to make their own. If you have 15 guests, each will go home with 15 new Christmas crafts to decorate their homes.
• Kid friendly. Any Christmas party can cater to kids by having a separate area for Christmas videos, crafts, and Shirley Temples.

Games

• Pin the nose on Rudolph
• What’s in the bag? Take a bag and put in Christmas items such as a stockings, candy canes, etc. Each guest reaches her hand in the bag and must guess the item. The best guesser wins a prize.
• Christmas trivia. Test your knowledge about popular movies, TV, pop culture, and other trivia.
• Christmas bingo. Create a bingo card with a Christmas-related theme in the middle, such as a snowman.
• Christmas word scramble. Think of words such as reindeer, stocking, etc, and scramble them on a small cardboard page.
• Name that tune. Play a Christmas CD and the first to guess correctly, wins a prize.

I hope these Christmas party ideas helped spark some fun ideas for your upcoming celebration!

During the warm days of summer, Christmas is usually the farthest thing from most people’s minds. However, summer may actually be a great time to do some pre-planning and organization for the holidays, because we aren’t yet inundated with parties, gift shopping, family gatherings, and the other usual holiday distractions. In this article, we’ll explain how you can get yourself prepared now so that you’ll have more free time to spend with family and friends when Christmastime actually rolls around.

Getting organized and prepared for the holidays can take on many forms. When it comes to little details like planning meals or gift shopping, these tasks are best left until closer to the Christmas season. The best way to spend your holiday organizing energy during the off season is in organizing decorations. Many of us keep our decorations stuffed into a variety of boxes or bags, crammed into corners, closets, and dusty attics. In January, we’re usually anxious to take decorations down, so it may seem more convenient to just put it all away, even if it is a garbled mess, and deal with everything next November. But in reality, if you take a little time to organize your holiday decorations, they will be easier to find and use when the time comes, making for a smoother and less stressful holiday season.

There are many different ways to arrange seasonal storage items; you’ll want to choose the one that works best for you. One common organization strategy is to categorize your items into groups by type. For example, all the Christmas lights go in one box, ornaments in another, and so on. This can be a very effective strategy, thought it does depend somewhat on how extensively you decorate your home at the holidays. If you have one or two primary rooms that you decorate, this method of organizing will work well. However, if you have a very large home and you have unique decorations for every room of the house, you may want to employ a different method. In this situation, it may be advantageous for you to store decorations by room of the house. So all the decorations for the kitchen are stored together, items for the foyer go in another box, so on and so forth.

Regardless of how you group the items, pay careful attention to the way you store them. For example, try to choose airtight containers whenever possible, and preferably something that pests cannot get into. Holiday decorations of any type, whether its lights, wrapping paper, an artificial tree, or anything else will last longer if they are kept away from extreme hot, cold, and humidity. In general, cardboard boxes are the worst type of storage container, because they are easily penetrated by pests and dirt, and they wick up moisture easily. Clear plastic totes can work well for storing items, because they keep things clean and items inside are easily identifiable. Another option that might work well where space is limited would be special storage bags designed to hold whatever item you’re storing: wreaths, ornaments, an artificial Christmas tree, etc.

So while you’re lazily enjoying the long, hot days of summer, take a few hours or even a few days to think toward the holidays. Any time you can dedicate to organizing your holiday decorations is time well spent, and when Christmas rolls around, you’ll be rewarded with more time, less stress, and a beautifully decorated and organized holiday season.

The Christmas Tree Storage Shop offers free shipping on all seasonal storage products, including ornament storage, wrapping paper storage, and more. Visit us today at http://www.christmastreestoragebag.net/

“Kick off November in grand style!” That’s the advice from my writer friend Marcia McClure of Monument, Colorado. With each newsletter I receive from Marcia, I realize why she’s such a hot topic in “Romance Writing”. She’s so attentive to the details of life. Her energy is contagious! But what does that have to do with Christmas Shopping?

While the rest of the world is still struggling to get their plans in order for Thanksgiving, you could be organizing Christmas for a more relaxed and enjoyable holiday season. Here are some suggestions of things you could do early to be ready for the holiday season.

· Wrap and package all gifts you’ll mail before Christmas.

· Bake some extra “stuff” to freeze for gifts later.

· Start now to make some of those delightful hand made wonders, your family and friends all enjoy.

· Clean the house and prepare for Christmas decorating.

· Consider painting any rooms that need freshening up before Thanksgiving.

· Get all your snow removal and fun equipment ready NOW.

· Do the winter chores early.

· Send out the linens for professional cleaning.

· Rearrange your china cabinet to make Christmas serving dishes readily available.

· Wrap all the gifts you’ve shopped for and label them for under the tree.

· Collect wrapping paper and ribbon accessories in preparation of a marathon wrapping spree.

· Order greenery early (Boy Scouts are sending out orders now for December delivery).

· Order in books, games, movies, and entertainment for the season now, so it will be waiting for you during the holidays, when you’re ready to enjoy.

These are just some of the early things you can do to speed up your decorating efforts through the season. Make time for more fun by getting the work done early.

I traveled across the country a lot for my job recently and thank goodness I had a Blackberry with GPS. The bad part about it was that it ate my battery up like nobody’s business. By the time I arrived at my destination I had to quickly find a plug to recharge it.

I almost always declined the navigation systems that you have to pay extra for with the car rental because I had my own. The one time I did get it – boy, what a disappointment. So, since I really enjoy writing reviews I thought I’d take a look at some of the GPS navigators on the market as I know they can’t all be as clunky as the ones they offer you at those car rental places.

I was pretty shocked to find that there is more to these little buggers than I would have thought. Much more than is available on my Blackberry that’s for sure. As I got into it, my research finally led me to the Garmin nüvi 255W 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator.

What to Look for When Buying a Portable GPS System

It didn’t take me long to realize that there are a few basic things to consider when buying a portable car GPS. They are:

Screen Size
Directional guidance
Portability

All the other bells and whistles are gravy. Any there is a LOT of gravy with this one. But, I will focus on the basics.

If you just buy the first  portable navigation system  you see based on price alone then you are destined for trouble particularly if you are going to be using the GPS on a regular basis. So stick with me here as I will be explaining each of these in relation to the Garmin nüvi 255W 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator.

Bigger is Better

The 4.3 inch diagonal widescreen of the nüvi 255w is larger than previous versions. A wider screen allows you to view a larger map area through which you are driving. To minimize the difficulty of daytime viewing of the screen Garmin has added anti-glare to its 2D and 3D perspective views. What this means is no more squinting or having to pick up the device for a better look. With the brighter, larger screen you can view the map and driving directions in greater detail. It also adjusts to a dim light for night viewing.

Left. Right. Left – Right – Left.

The directional guidance offered with the  nüvi 255w  includes a variety of options: turn-by-turn voice directions, 2-D, and 3-D maps. A voice prompt not only tells you that you need to turn soon but it also tells you the name of the street on which you need to turn. In the maps mode you can also adjust zoom levels to get an idea of the surrounding terrain.

You CAN Take It With You

So you arrive at your destination and you want to do some sightseeing, right? Remember, this one is portable. Take it off its vehicle suction cup mount and start walking. This handheld portable GPS is small enough to fit in your purse or pocket. Also, you don’t have to worry about accidently touching the onscreen navigation and messing up your settings. There is a screen lock feature that allows you to pause your navigation instead of having to completely turn it off when you want to take an extended pit stop.

How Much Should You Expect to Pay For A Garmin Heart Rate Monitor?

The Garmin nüvi 255w  is available on the Garmin website for $179 but you really shouldn’t be paying any more than $130 for this unit. The cheapest I have seen it is on Amazon who consistently sell this GPS for under $120.

What’s Included With The Garmin 305

• nüvi 255W
• Preloaded City Navigator NT for North America or Europe (full coverage)
• Vehicle suction cup mount
• Vehicle power cable
• Dashboard disc
• Quick start manual

Does it include a Warranty?

Yes, the Garmin nüvi 255w includes a 1 year warranty.

What Others Are Saying

Over 1,400 Amazon reviews of this product culminating in an average of 4.5 out of 5 star overall rating means a lot of positive feedback. It’s pretty tough to keep a high rating with that many reviews.

Here are some of the comments to date:
• “ Love it! A GPS skeptic now believing…”
• “ Great product- very happy”
• “ Great widescreen, street naming unit at a budget price”
• “ LOVE the Garmin Nüvi 255W”
• “ Great GPS for Cheap!,”
• “ Best In Its Class – Great For Traveling”
• “ This gave me more that I was expecting…,”

Any complaints?

The complaints I found seemed to mostly center on refurbished models. A variety of operational issues were reported on the refurbished ones. I recommend only buying the Garmin nüvi 255w new if you can afford it.

Where Can You Buy the Garmin nüvi 255W 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator?

You can buy this Garmin nüvi 255w from  Amazon.  At the moment they include free shipping and when comparing prices with other online merchants, Amazon currently has  the best deal  especially with the free shipping option. Click here to view on Amazon.

Looking for the best heart rate monitor? Join the crowd. I owned a Polar Heart Rate Monitor about 10 years ago. Don’t ask me what model. It’s been 10 years, I said. Anyway, at the time I never really understood target heart rate zone or any of that stuff so I just gave it away. My mistake.

Well, it seems like the idea of target heart rate being a factor in athletic performance and weight loss is here to stay. So, I decided to take a look at what Polar has been up to these days. During my research it became painfully clear that I should have done this research when I purchased my Polar Heart Rate Monitor years ago. Oh, well.

Anyway, there is more to picking a heart monitor watch than price and in-store availability. Give me a break, o.k., I was in my early 20’s and didn’t know a thing about fitness. I just bought the coolest looking one for the price.

Fast forward 10 years. My research of Polar heart rate monitors led me to the FT40 Heart Rate Monitor by Polar. Stay with me and I’ll let you know why this is my “educated” pick.

Best Heart Rate Monitor – What to Look For

As I kind of mentioned already, it didn’t take me long to realize that there are a few important things to keep in mind when buying heart rate monitor watches. And they are:

• Measurements

• Training functions

• Design

• Alerts

Keep reading since I’ll be explaining each of these in relation to the FT40 Heart Rate Monitor by Polar.

Polar Heart Rate Watches – Key Features

One of the most important components of a heart rate monitor watch is the variety of measurements it can provide to the user. The FT40 offers at least 8 of which 5 are truly unique to Polar. The others are fairly standard with other monitors I reviewed:

• Average and maximum heart rate during training

• Target heart rate zones

• Manual setting of target heart rate zones

Three of the remaining five measurements give the Polar FT40 an extra kick. They are:

• Polar Energy Pointer: An onscreen display that lets you know if you are in the fat burning zone or fitness zone. You can adjust your intensity during your workout to get you into either one. Very motivating especially if you are trying to lose weight.

• Polar OwnCal: Yes, it lets you know the number of calories YOU have burned during a workout session. It also allows you to see the sum total over several sessions. Definitely more accurate than those estimates on gym equipment – even if you enter your weight.

• Polar Fitness Test: You can measure your aerobic fitness at rest in about 5 minutes.

The FT40 Heart Rate Monitor gives you the information you need to make your workouts effective without bogging you down with a bunch of technical information.

Polar Monitors Function Like Personal Trainers

The training support built into the FT40 includes a visual display on the watch of how you are training in relation to your preset workout goals. You determine the intensity or type of training you wish to perform and the watch will let you know if you are staying within the zone, above it or below it via audio and/or visual alerts.

This Polar is definitely for those who prefer less structure in their weekly workouts. If this sounds familiar – Monday is running, Tuesday is kickboxing class, Wednesday is weight training, etc…then the FT40 would be an appropriate choice. If however you are in need of more structured support then the Polar FT60 would probably be a better choice. The FT60 has a built in training program to help you stick to specific performance goals.

Polar FT40 Design

The watch is small and casual enough to wear when you are not working out. However, one reviewer said she would not wear it to work if she worked at a bank or in another conservative environment. The green color is not very subtle. But, don’t worry. It’s also available in gray. It has many of your standard wristwatch features: backlight, date and weekday indicator, time of day (12/24h) with alarm and snooze. So you could actually wear it even when you’re not working out.

The buttons are on the side of this Polar heart rate monitor which can be a challenge if you are trying to access your training information during an intense portion of your workout. The best way to overcome this is by turning on the HeartTouch feature before you begin your workouts. It allows you to access different training information by bringing the watch close to your transmitter strap.

Hey – Step It Up!

While the watch won’t speak to you, it will alert you when an adjustment to your intensity level is needed based on your preset workout goal. Visual and audio alerts are standard on the FT40.

How Much Should You Expect to Pay?

The FT40 Heart Rate Monitor by Polar is available on the Polar website for $179. The cheapest I have seen it is on Amazon for under $150.

What’s Included

• Polar FT40 training computer (watch)

• Polar WearLink®+ transmitter

• Manual

Does it include a Warranty?

Yes, the Polar FT40 Heart Rate Monitor has a 2 year warranty.

Heart Rate Monitor Reviews – What Others Are Saying

This heart rate monitor has received rave reviews from most consumers on the net with an average of 4.5 out of 5 from most reviewers on the Amazon website. As of today, no single review for this product has received less than a 4 star rating.

Here are some of the comments to date:

• “ Great tool for weight loss…”

• “ Nice product…nice price”

• “ Wonderful Fitness Tool”

• “ MOTIVATION x2”

• “ So glad I got THIS one!,”

• “ My wife LOVES this thing”

Any complaints?

With no single rating less than 4 stars on Amazon (to date) there were no complaints about the heart rate monitor’s performance. The recommended improvements appeared to be more related to personal preference. One recurring theme was the color of the watch. Some would have preferred a more neutral tone. It was also noted that it can get dirty pretty easily.

Where Can You Buy the FT40 Heart Rate Monitor by Polar?

You can buy this FT40 from Amazon. At the moment they are offering a few Special Offers and Product Promotions when you purchase this item. So, when comparing prices with other online merchants, Amazon does currently have the best deal especially when you factor in the special offers. Click here to view on Amazon.
