Early Christmas Shopping

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, toys in every store".... and so goes the song James Pierpont classics as sung by Perry Como. Shopping malls are now starting to spruce up their displays with some Christmas motiff, side by side with Halloween monsters and goblins. I find it funny that the most malls are so desperate to commercialize on the occasion. Anyway, the early Christmas displays reminded me that I need to start shopping for Christmas gifts.

My concerns are my son and Ethan. The girls are more easily pleased and would not mind getting "nothing" for Christmas. These two boys are different though. My gift has to be extra special. Last year I gave each of them a remote control helicopter. They loved it to pieces and they even had a contest on who could fly the helicopter better. This year, my son has been pestering me for a Wii.Ethan, on the other hand is asking if I could give him a toy laptop. Umm... better start browsing online stores now.

ShopWiki: Great Find

I am on the lookout for household and garden items. Being an architect means being on top of almost all the latest on building materials, household gadgets and knick-knocks, furnishings, appliances, outdoor and garden tools and decors and others. The advent of internet technology had made this seemingly hard task of looking for the latest in materials and gadgets rather easier.

What made browsing easier is the genius that is ShopWiki. I only got to know about this site through other blogs that I read. ShopWiki is not an online store, rather it is a site that presents all online stores. This means that a shopper or browser like me can find and buy anything and everything that is being sold in the web through ShopWiki.

The site is a veritable field of information on any subject that you care to know about too. I wanted to know more about the different tropical flowers that will thrive in USA and I was taken to a page discussing such including thousands of online stores where the flowers are available. I needed to find a post hole digger for planting bulbs. One click brought me to a page discussing the different garden tools anyone can possibly need. Clicking on the specific tool brought me to a page where I can avail of the specific tool dependent on the price range that I've set myself. Great site! Truly helpful.
