What Will Be The Hot Gadget This Christmas

I love to watch ebay for the hot gadgets of the year when they hit the auction block.  Remember “tickle me elmo” and the ridiculous prices people were paying for him because the stores were all sold out.  I remember this one gizmo that was a flash light , I can’t remember its name but it was red and you could bend it and wrap it around things.  While its wasn’t such a hot item on ebay it definitely was selling like hot cakes in the stores.  The last few years ebay has been the place to get all your computer widgets, gaming machine and electronics like playstations, xboxes and the Wii. People were paying ridiculous prices for these types of items well after Christmas just because the manufactures kept demand high by not producing significant enough supplies.  I would just once love to get my hands on a few cases of those dirty blue widgets, or what ever they want to call the gadget just to ebay them and make extra income fast.  Why people insist on spending that type of money for a product that will eventually be readily available in the stores is beyond me.  If anyone has the inside scoop on this years widget that is going to skyrocket in price just shoot me a mail and we’ll all get in on the game.

Not That Norm – Please Read!!!

Ok I just bought this domain a few weeks back because I wanted to create Norm’s world and explore learning web development and get used to the world of blogging.  There evidentally is a Norm Stulz out there that is a comedian.  I keep getting asked to do shows, perform charity functions and sell CDs, which I would love to do, however, I’m not that Norm.  I’m sorry for the confusion but the previous owner decided not to renew their domain and I will be developing my own blog here.  Those of you looking for the comedian I’m sorry that’s not me.

What To Buy My Wife

I dread buying gifts for my wife, every Christmas i seem to get it wrong.  This year I’ve taken a differnt approach and started watching the IE history bar to see what type of websites she’s been going too.  Seems she spends a lot of time looking at websites selling coach designer handbags  and several other fairly expensive womens accessories.  Another favorite of hers seems to be a company that makes beaded purses that aren’t quite as expensive as Coach bags but still arent cheap either.  I bet though with the economy the way it is I can find some Mary Frances designer handbas on clearance. If i strick out I may go a completely diffrent route and buy her a used ladies golf club set she’s said for years she wanted to learn how to play.  Any way I go Im sure I wont get her exactly what she wants.  Perhaps the best christmas gift is just to hand her some cash or stick with old standbys like jewelry and furs.

Christmas Gift For Employees

Its getting close to that time of year again.  I usually by all my employees some sort of gift but each year it gets harder and harder to decide what to buy.  In the past I’ve bought co-workers and employees candy, pen sets, desk sets, office accessories and little odds and ends.   This year I’d like to spend a little more and make it something the will actually remember.  I’ve been considering buying a proof coins set for a commemorative coin set as an alternative to the usual office gift you would receive.  I really like the American Bald Eagle Commemorative Proof Silver Dollar.  It comes in a nice case from the mint and is unbelievably beautiful.  I wonder if buying a proof set for a Christmas gift is the right way to go.  I’ll just have to give it some more thought.   But I did buy my kids each a nice looking American Eagle Gold Set for their stockings.  You can find all types of nice collectible coins directly from the US Mint as well. If coins aren’t to your liking then try to think of something unique to get like books on how to improve your skills to make extra income or something bizarre
