Holiday Shopping - Cheap.

Well, the holiday season has descended upon us right smack in the middle of an economic downturn - fun! So not only are most people, myself included, rolling pennies (seriously when my jar is full I know I have $5) to buy morning coffee but buying gifts are taking precedence over parties, the must see teen/romantic/vampire movies and my phone bill.
After assessing the financial cost of my social life I have become a certified couch potato - luckily I still have cable. AMC is one of the best stations; non-stop movies, all the Rockies are on and various other movies you might never watch. The other amazing thing about AMC is the constant stream of products offered only on TV. My gift giving budget is saved! I have just found a way to stay at home, save money, remain entertained and buy gifts cheap without ever leaving the comfort of my couch!
First we have the Snuggie, http://www.snuggie.ca. Hold on to your socks because the Snuggie is amazing. It is a huge blanket with sleeves! You’ll never have the annoyance of wriggling your arms out from under a blanket when someone dares to phone you in the middle of your shows!
Despite not having a hood, this product is delectable, and the price is right baby - $29.95! That’s right, and if you buy now you get a second one free and a reading light. That’s, like, three presents right there for way cheap.
My other favorite available-only-on-TV product are the minted-limited edition coins. Sure, they’re American but what grandpa doesn't have a random collection of coins or stamps. These coins are always different because they’re so limited! All the more reason to buy today! Have the coins shipped right to your door - I love TV and my Visa (which I promise to pay off right after Christmas).
And for my own special present, from me to me, I think I’ll pick up a Tony Little Gazelle performance 300. It’s like an elliptical machine but without the electronics, and I can do it in front of my TV - perfect.

Happy holiday shopping!
