My shopping list includes a personalized duffle bag

I’m planning to do some shopping for Christmas gift online (that is if I get my earnings from my online job on time). I don’t want the hassle of going to the mall and get caught in traffic for hours like what I have experienced in the past. I spend practically hours scouting for gift items and end up with the product that doesn’t conform to my taste. I also promised myself to stick with the list to avoid the tendency to overshop. What do I propose? Shop for inexpensive items online and I want it personalized. At Posylane.com they offer lines of colourful and personalized duffle bags, insulated lunch tote and even laundry bags. These bags are created with Mint’s signature fabrics. I personally like the duffle bag because it is big enough to be used for an overnight stay. For just $20 you can have a beautiful duffle bag shown on their webpage. You can request for your recipient’s name embossed on the bag. Lunch tote is a hit for school-age boys and girls. Their favorite food will remain fresh the whole day at school. You can make this insulated lunch tote presentable by putting the names of your favorite niece, nephew or godchild’s name on it. Who knows an embroidered lunch tote may enhance the appetite of picky eaters. 🙂 To complete your gift ideas for bag, why not include mint laundry bag with a shoulder strap. This bag is best paired with your overnight bags. You don’t want your neatly pressed clothes mix with your soiled clothes do you? Once you have placed your order you only need to wait for three to five working days and your items are ready to be displayed underneath your Christmas tree. Once I’m done with online shopping I will have more time for my family.

My blogs got ranked

This is a late post but I’m still sharing it. Last Saturday I was surprised to discover that my two blogs got ranked by Google. It may mean nothing to some but for me its important its like a ticket to more possible opps. And more opps would mean additional help for my family. From PR1, Mom writes for a cause is now PR 2. And this site got its first Google page rank of 1. But about three or four weeks ago my Mom writes’ page rank went down from 1 to N/A. I’m not expecting the positive development to happen this soon. It was an early Christmas gift from Mr. Google. Thanks Mr. G!

Chic eyeglass for my daughter

I think my daughter needs to wear a prescription eyeglass soon. She has persistent headache and couldn’t see or read clearly from a distant when she’s in school. She started to experience these symptoms when she got hooked on reading books. The last time she had an eye check-up was in 2006 when she was just nine. The eye doctor measured her visual acuity at 20/25 then. I’m sure there is a big difference now that she’s 12. I promised to bring her to the eye specialists this month. So while we are waiting for her schedule I will let her pick from new arrival frames that I saw on zennioptical.com. I hope to get an $8 Prescription Zenni Glasses for her. And she would love this Holiday Fun Eyeglass that I’m thinking of buying for her this Christmas.
