Gift of Giving

So this is pretty cool. When thinking of ideas for business gifts for your friends or relatives this year, why not get charity involved? You as the buyer of the gift card or certificate choose the amount of money, and the recipient of the gift card or certificate gets to pick the charity of their choice. That is the ultimate Christmas gift and what this time of year is all about. The Charities are not informed who has given them the donation, your privacy is protected and you get the warm and fuzzy feeling knowing you gave the gift of giving. I can't think of a better gift to give. What a great example of the holiday spirit.

Breakdown Insurance

You know, if there is one thing you could learn from a horror movie or any movie about any sort of cross country driving experience, mechanical breakdown insurance is a must! How many times do these people's cars go off the road or break down? It's crazy. In a horror movie it's pretty predictable when these things are going to happen, but in real life it can happen at any time, anywhere. These things tend to happen at the worst possible times and when your broke. It's good to have insurance in these situations. When it rains, it pours so you need an umbrella.

Shoes

I am in need of a new pair of shoes. A decent pair that is not going to fall apart. I saw a commercial for thoseMBT shoes. They look pretty neat, I like the pink ones. They call them the anti-shoe. They are supposed to help you walk with better posture and get rid of knee pain. Not to mention help you burn more calories and tone your body. There are similar shoes out on the market right now but I kind of like the looks of these ones,

Presents for Husbands

I swear my husband is hard to buy for. He likes to pretend he isn't materialistic but yet at the same time, he wants the best of everything and is quite picky with the things that he wants. I'd consider getting him some golfing stuff for Christmas but I don't know much about Golfing and I don't want to waste money on something he won't use because it isn't what he wanted. Buyingauto accessories for his Dodge Ram is another option. I don't know much about all the mechanics of the car but cleaning kits and things like that are always good. Either way Christmas is coming on us fast again this year, it's crazy.

Owning a franchise

After having worked in a number of retail places and seeing how the big boss man has to bend over backwards and touch his toes quite often to please certain customers, I have often wondered how stressful it would be to own afranchise. Some people really go for that sort of thing. I guess it could be considered a big business opportunity. If you can handle the stress it might be rewarding. It would be interesting to open up a subway or something some day.

Facial Cleansing

You know, I always, always see the Pro-Active commercials on tv. I don't get pimples often but am always wanting to try it because people on tv say how great it makes your skin look and feel. However, then I go online and read some reviews and while alot of people say it works, many say that it makes your skin really, really dry and not as soft as they claim it does. So for a REAL acne treatment for those of us with skin that tends to get dry anyway, i'd keep searching and checking out websites that have reviews on REAL acne treatments. Never trust what you see on tv fully. You just never know.

Greatfull

I can't say how greatfull I am enough for Tricare insurance. Some people say it isn't that great, but it's treated us very well. However, not everyone is in the Military and most people have a very hard time finding affordable health insurance plans. Having health insurance is a must these days. Especially with all the flu bugs going around. You can find some affordable plans online if you do some research. Try looking up Blue Cross North Carolina to see some great options. Before I met my husband I was working at a Hannaford in Maine and did NOT have any insurance. I went over two years without seeing a dentist because I just couldn't afford it.
