With Christmas around the corner,there are so many irresistible offers coming our way. However, the one offer that cannot go unnoticed is the Direct Satellite TV. Know what? You can now avail 150 plus digital channels for as less as $1 a day.

Santa Claus is a Month Early? Cheap DirectTV Subscriptions!

Supposedly recession is behind us (though I am yet to sense it), and so if you notice all companies have started to raise prices on their stuff back again, and that is the worst part - when you are still feeling the pinch of economic downturn and the prices have started to rise again.

It was then that I saw something that made me extremely happy. You can now watch DirectTV for as less as $1 per day. And that is not all, there is a Directv holiday promo going on which is offering discounted prices and also a $100 free prepaid VISA card with purchase of Direct TV.

I know how you must be feeling - Is Santa a month early this time around? LOL NO. It is just that DirectTV has always been that loving money saver as always.

What Gift To Buy This Christmas


There is a funny incident that happened to us last Christmas. My sister was just newly married then and there was this travel agency guy who was quite prominently advertising his highly discounted air tickets to Goa for the New Year season.

I secretly decided to get it for my sister and brother in law. And a week before Christmas so proudly gifted them the ticket; only to find that not only had my parents purchased the same gift, but my brother in law had himself got a couple of tickets to surprise my sister. It was so awfully funny.

This is what happens when you get gifts for people when you don't know what their own plans are. It is always better to ask them what they want before getting them the gift. So, what do you get them for Christmas or New Year? I get them gift cards from Shop.com.

There is an amazing collection here that you would fall in love with. Simply pick a card to let the recipient know how much you care for them. And for actual gifts, ask them.

Controlling the shopping crowd during Christmas season

Christmas is fast approaching and if you are a retailer, it is that time of the year when your sales can zoom. But then, with every rose comes a thorn and so is the issue of crowd control.

What we do in our area is that we get in touch with our local police officers to enable the deployment of barricades, stanchions and velvet rope around our area in such a way that people who visit our shopping area can easily move around without being heckled in the crowd. The organized shopping experience also gets the word out and more people choose to visit our area than the other shopping places in the city.

How do you manage the crowd in your area. Please do tell us in the comments.
