of all, these gifts will keep on giving all year long. Listen to music that moves you - all the time. For those of you who haven't heard - YET - satellite radio is commercial free, with over one hundred channels specific to artist, genre, and decade. It also offers weather, news and traffic all at the push of a button. There is even talk that this new kind of radio will soon replace the need for compact disk players! XM receiver retailers are offering all kinds of holiday incentives, and because of the new technology the price is right. You can purchase the equipment outright, but you'll need to upkeep the subscription which is as little as $9.99 a month depending on which extras you wish to upgrade to. There is also the option of a five hundred dollar life time subscription fee, which to some may be an option. I suggest looking at the holiday packages that includes use in the home, car, and on the go. Just make sure you buy a receiver and something to mount it to. The boom box appears to be popular right now because of it's portability options. Video
Games You really need to see it to believe it, and compare the different options offered by the three major game systems on today's market. They include Xbox, Nintendo Wii, and Playstation 3. While each have their fans, most smart game manufacturers will market their most popular video games in versions that work with all the top systems. Take The Sims, for example. As one of the growing number of women who are active in video gaming, I am most attracted to Sims which offers the opportunity to manage character's lives as they navigate (with your help) their own virtual world. You can build and re-build, decorate and re-decorate your character's homes, dress and feed them, and even make their kids do homework! The characters have “human” needs and responsibilities, requiring YOU need to keep them on task to fulfilling their dreams. If it sounds complex, it is. For adults, however, Sims provides a great way to unwind from the real world... Recommended
Console and PC Gaming online stores: TiVo Hook up this little box and it digitally records shows you watch normally and saves them until it's convenient for you to view them. It can also record whole seasons of your favorites. Finally, create a viewing library by burning complete sets to DVD. Later, save big on buying TV show collections when they emerge into the market. You'll have them already. There are so many types of families TiVo can be useful for: sports fans can tape every game, siblings can avoid the squabbles over the remote by recording their favorite shows separately and watching them whenever they want. Best of all, you can digitally fast forward through all the commercials! There is a subscription fee which will need to be maintained, and a lifetime membership is available for purchase. This gift comes in many different memory grades and with many different options. It is also something that people might not buy for themselves but would rave about it - a gift the whole family will enjoy, over and over again.
