Holiday Spending

Everywhere you go there are flashy sale signs, mark downs, "free offers," this and that — so we all have to beware of our wallets! Not that you need pocket protectors or anything (unless you're into that sort of thing). Nope, it's just nice to keep a little plan in mind as to how much you're going to be blowing out of your bank account this holiday season.

With the economy like it is, everything is unpredictable, so this year I've decided to hand-make everyone's gifts. Here's why:

1. It's a bit more personal
2. It's a little easier on the budget, and well...
3. It's just so much cooler!

Now I do always keep an eye out for big red "Sale" signs, and try to think of ways I can get a bigger, better gift that my friends will like, but of course...at a lower price. It's a great time for bargain hunting, so make sure to browse around before settling on the price of a certain MP3 player or video game.

Of course, I do save up to buy those fancy new monthly items at GCK, but come on! We all have to splurge a little on ourselves once in awhile!
