I have two sons to purchase gifts for this Christmas. I think I’m going to get my oldest son his own Zune player for the Holidays. He’s only 9 but he’s been using mine for a long time now and I think it’s time he got his own media player. I think I will buy a Zune 120 for him so I can load some of his favorite tv shows and movies on it. He likes to watch movies on the Zune and we use it to entertain him on road trips and other times when he’s bored.

My younger son is a lot easier to shop for. He likes toys and games and sporting equipment. I’ve been looking for some deals online and found I can get free shipping promotional code deals for kids Christmas presents from Toys R Us and 1-Coupons.com which will save up to 60% on clearance toys. That’s a good price break on name brand toys and being a favorite place for us to shop the Toys R Us coupons may just help out.

1-Coupons.com has some great discount coupon codes for top shopping destinations including Best Buy, Musicians Friend and Guitar Center for the music fans here. Their shopping tips and gift ideas are a nice place for you to start if you have no clue what you’re doing.

The holidays are normally the time of year when many of us gain weight. Common ogic is that many of us overindulge starting at Thanksgiving and the food doesn;t stop until your New Years resolution.

I do feel like the focus on food and drink over the holidays will bringonthe weight for a lot of people I think other factors such as winter weather and lack of physical activity have as much if not more to do with it. Ijust feel like I gain an automatic 10 pounds each winter season and there is not much I can do about it. I call it my winter coat and I would assume other animals out there naturally do the exact same thing.

It’s colder and our bodies want to stay warm. What better way to do so then a nice layer of body fat to keep you warm during those wicked winter storms? Some of take precautions during this time of year and embark on some form of diet just before and during the holidays in order to keep the weight off.

I’m no fan of diets but lots of readers are. My advice would be to find some good diet reviews and consider all the variables in your life. Do you excercise? Has your food intact increased? Why are you having a weightproblem.What diet reviews can do for you are present the various types of diets there are and allow you to decide which one best suits you and your lifestyle.

Beware to read diet reviews from someone who is not trying to sell you on one specific diet because as we all know each of us needs a different diet based on our eating habits and physical form. Some people do better with on a diet and still others are better off with increased excercise and a slightly modified diet.

As many of us expected the Zune has gained in popularity at the expense of other media players and not the iPod. Studies show that the iPod gained in popularity with teens from 80 to 84% this year with 79% of those claiming they will buy a media device in the next year saying it wil be an iPod.

No shock here as these numbers are right in line with the last 2 or 3 but the real surprise here is that of those considering a new media device in the next year a full 15% of them expect to purchase a Zune. That leaves about 6% of the market for the other guys and shows that Microsoft and Apple now dominate the mp3 player market.

Zune’s popularity increases in teen survey

Piper Jaffray’s bi-annual teen survey includes some positive news for Microsoft’s Zune music player.

Picture

Yes, the survey says that Apple’s share of the portable media player (PMP) market among high school students increased to 84 percent, up from 80 percent a year ago.

And, yes, a whopping 79 percent of teens who said they planned to buy a music player in the next 12 months said they expected to buy an iPod, up from 78 percent a year ago.

But the Zune’s share of the teen market is up as well — to 3 percent, from 2 percent a year ago.

Moreover, 15 percent of teens surveyed who said they planned on buying a music player over the next year said they expected to buy a Zune, up from 13 percent a year ago.

Keeping with our theme of holiday shopping and gift ideas I was hunting for a quick easy way to cover a bunch of people with a holiday message and I was going to try an e-card from one of the many online email card services out there but the trouble with those is that not everyone I know has an email account and the ones who do will most likely read an email once and delete it if they even read the whole thing.

I think mailing Holiday Cards would be a better idea and a far more personalized way to say hello for the holidays. These Holiday Cards can be mailed out weeks in advance and may end up being used as holiday decorations in someones home where it becomes much more useful than an email.

Cards can be sent toanyone and everyone you know or just to contact a select few of the people you know. You may use Holiday Cards to say hello to those friends not quite close enough to earn a Zune or maybe you will reserve a special card for those friends who are close and deserve a special mention this year.

Whatever your reason to send one a card for the holidays is a fast simple way to let people know you care.
