Gifts on sale

For those of us who have any money left after Christamas and New Year - now is a good time to take advantage of the sales.

But remember, it's not a bargain if you didn't need it in the first place.

Think about stocking up on gifts for upcoming birthdays, or even next Christmas.

As always, check out www. giftbrainwave.com for ideas.

Avoid last-minute desperation buys

Christmas is fast approaching and lots of us have that difficult present to buy which we will put off til the last possible moment, hoping that inspiration will strike. When inspiration fails we end up rushing our selection, usually spending more than we budgeted.

With http://www.giftbrainwave.com/ you have hundreds and hundreds of ideas to choose from, all in convenient lists. Among these lists there will be a present that's right for everyone and you can decide what to buy before you even reach the shops, taking all the stress out of the Christmas shoppping experience.

Make your own gifts

Some of my favourite ideas on www.giftbrainwave.com are the ones you can make yourself. I love these personal gifts.

I recently made jars of berry jam as Chistmas gifts for friends and family. Picking the berries and cooking the jam was a fun family activity. The jars of jam look great with their personalised Christmas labels. And all for a very low cost.

Cookies or fudge are also great ideas!

Gift ideas website up and running

Hi all,

I am using this blog to record the journey of the website http://www.giftbrainwave.com/.

Thi site is all about gift ideas and not sales. I have been frustrated in the past when I am looking for ideas for gifts that all I can find is sites that sell things. I really wanted a site that just had lots and lots of ideas only.

The site is finally up and running and generating small amounts of traffic.
