Are you feeling giddy? Giddy with glee because you have some money from overtime and shifts that you took because you wanted to make this christmas special for others and yourself to enjoy?
Well, I had that same thought in mind. University is coming to a close, finals are almost upon us, we are all buying gifts, putting up trees, and getting plane tix.
I am still do all of that, this year we will get a fresh crisp real tree, the last time we did so was 2 years ago and then 3 years, so we like to interchange. But I digress...
So I have been looking through different stores, genres, and places (all while studying for finals and spending quality time with friends, bless the soul) and have come up with a list of my favorite things that are good for the HER or HE or YOURSELF on the list. So here is my Rum Tummy Holiday (Target inspired title from the Target Christmas Lady Singing) Gift Guide.
FOR THE TECHIE ON YOUR LIST:
On the Cheap: The Amazon Kindle Fire Touch Tablet $199 Here
I have went back and forth between this and many others and the features on this is worthy of the price and the upgrade is so good. I still have my Kindle 3G keyboard from last year but I may upgrade to this or the NOOK (hushh). It has many features such as listening to songs, magazines, books, tv show watching, applications to play with, and web browsing. You can also play games and such.
On the Pricier yet fancy alternative, you can go for the Apple iPad for $499 and up. Here
