Week 9, Volume 6 : There is a season…(turn turn turn)

Happy Hallogivingmas!

With the holiday season starting to rev up into full swing, the time just seems to fly by.  Personally, I sometimes forget if I should be giving my loved ones candy, stuffing a turkey, or wondering what their heart desires most….and where I can buy it for a discount on the internet! 

Regardless of how you feel about the holiday season, I think its sufficed to say that everyone wants to feel just a bit special or just a bit more loved around this time of year, and why not?  Of course, everyone is going through a rough spot with the economy the way it is, but instead of spreading doom and gloom I like to remember the old addage…”its always darkest before the dawn”. 

Being a self proclaimed pragmatist  I always think of a multitude of different ways to get my loved ones something that they need and would actually like without completely breaking open the piggy bank.  Luckily, here at HG we have a multitude of different “stocking stuffer” gift ideas that follow my vein of thought. 

7000 Pisa Spinning Tower Clock

 I’m not sure what it is about these clocks, but my first day here at HG they caught my attention in our showroom and I spent a good 2-3 minutes spinning the face of these clocks.  They have a classic look with a modern flare that just really catches your attention.  Then again, I’ve always had this adult onset A.D.D. when it comes to neat gadgety things.

T301 Samba Digital Photo Frame

 Speaking of gadgety things, the T301 Samba is a standout among your everyday digital photo frame.  Yes, its not super flashy or overloaded with 4 billion pixels, BUT it has a nice look and feel while its size makes it convenient for an office desk or a frame for your home computer room.

T730 Rave MP3 Speakers

Now I’m sure everyone out there has an MP3 player by now, if not…for shame!  Just kidding   I actually have one of these sitting on my desk and I have to say it is one of the most convenient speakers I’ve ever come across.  I can literally listen to my MP3 player while I jog in the morning, plug my MP3 player into the car while I listen on the way to work, get to work and listen to my music with this discrete speaker plugged into my computer.  Can’t get much better than that, especially for a music snob like myself. 

T701 Juba Portable Media Player

As I’ve mentioned before, most people nowadays do have an mp3 player, BUT if you have yet to discover this wonderful little piece of technology…have no fear! HG offers a nice assortment of MP3/Portable Media players including the Juba and the Jive!

T700 Jive Portable Media Player

It never fails really, every year I plan and plan and plan to be ahead of the shopping curve and make sure that everything is done so it’s not 9:45PM, Dec. 23rd and I’m bouncing from store to store to store trying to find last minute gifts for all the people that I should’ve had gifts ready for months before.  As I sit in the sea of traffic, filled with the millions of others who are desperately seeking gifts for their loved ones…I realize that no matter what…its a labor of love. 

Before I get all teary-eyed like those ladies in the Hallmark commercials, just a reminder to stay safe out there and have a very Happy Thanksgiving
