Happy new year! Can’t believe it’s already week 2 of 2010!

What am I going to do with my Christmas Present Ideas blog all year — till the next holiday season rolls around?

Maybe I’ll post ideas for Birthday gifts, and Valentine’s gifts, and so on

Meanwhile, let’s get this year off to a great start…

I mentioned the free ecourse here:

http://www.TurboSelfGrowth.com

But when I did, there was a problem with the domain — I somehow forgot to renew it in time, but it’s all fixed now.

And those edible gifts? They’re good for year round!

Go get them still if you haven’t already.

Also, here’s a free video by a friend of mine (it’s very cool). if you’re at all interested in internet marketing or making money online in any way, you’ll like it.

It’s Jason’s Free Video

Hope you enjoy it!

And have a fantastic 2010!

So you want to treat someone — or yourself — to a gourmet gifft basket?

Gift basket always have the feel of luxury. And if you assemble them yourself, keep in mind what the recipient likes.

Fancy cheeses, chocolates, truffles, preserves, caviar… Just go to your favorite gourmet store and have at it.

There are so many possibiities.

Of course you can also make some of the gifts yourself — check out my FREE edible Christmas gifts and you’ll get the recipes for some great stuff you can add to your own gourmet gift basket.

Meanwhile, why not check out my new Squidoo lens with some great tips on how to create a super gourmet gift basket?

Do your kids want pets? Zhu Zhu hamsters are the perfect starter pet…

Seriously. They’re seriously cute, and as the kids interact with them, they’re getting a feel of what it’s like to have a pet of their own.

Check out my Squidoo lens about Zhu Zhu hamsters to find out more…

If you want a pet that’s cute and cuddly but low maintenance, yet keeps your kids occupied for hours, zhu zhu hamsters are the way to go…

There’s still time… but some people like to get their presents early so they don’t have to rush and pick through the leftovers during the last few days of shopping season.

And of course, what are the perfect last minute gifts? Well…

You COULD get your FREE edible gifts book and make your own gifts — I mean, you can make them in the morning of the 25th to bring for lunch if you wanted to! Talk about last minute.

Or you could get virtual gifts. Very popular, especially in these financially challengin times, is a book that presents 20 ways to make money online — all of them legitimate! All of them written by people who do those things themselves, and desribed clearly step-by-step.

I have to admit that you may want to get some additional material if you get serious about some of these, but it will tell you enough to get started and to get a good idea of what’s involved. Great stuff. I’m using several of these techniques to make almost all of my income these days. Imagine — making money in your jammies! And it comes with an “instant paypal cash” affiliate program! Of course that means, that I’m an affiliate too.

Or you could get a stash of gift cards from Amazon.com so you can have them handy to pass out at a moment’s notice. They sell them in boxes of 50 cards:

Or get just a few…

One more instant gift… If you’re time challenged and feel like it’s holding you back in your business, you might really like this amazing time management course (I prefer to call it time mastery course):

Time Mastery for Internet Marketers (and other busy Professionals)

It is very different and much more effective than most traditional time management courses, and it’s a steal too! It even comes with a “day job liberator” module!

Santa (aka Elisabeth)

Are you “ready” for the Holidays? Or are you getting burned out on Holiday preparations already?

If you’re like a lot of us, all the extra tasks we are expected to keep up — all the while “enjoying” the Christmas spirit can be wayyyy too much.

But it doesn’t have to be…

I just had an article published at Ezinearticles.com where I make a few suggestions for reducing holiday stress.

And here are the promised links (promised in the resource box of the article):

1) Free Stress Tips Report.

2) Family Holiday Traditions

And my stress relief ebook can help you stay calm as well… And it too comes with a total bargain of an offer for my full-sized ebook with LOTS more stress relief strategies, some of them VERY powerful.

Meanwhile…

About the Stollen… The best of them are made with butter, rum, and marzipan (and raisins etc.), and they’re a German Christmas specialty — that is traditionally store bought! Yay!

It’s been my favorite holiday potluck dinner bring-along for years — and always well-received.

If you want to be totally decadent, you can even add a little buttter, but well, that’s up to you Just make sure it’s some of that really classy Euro-style butter — and unsalted — for best effects. But that’s probably too rich for most people — and really not necessary.

Anyway, Happy Holidays, and please check back soon for more Christmas Present Ideas (and, obvously, those stollen make great Christmas presents too!) and will help reduce the overall stress because they save you time and energy, and are guaranteed to please.

Okay, so you want to give Christmas presents to all your loved ones but you don’t have any money (or hardly any money).

My next idea is a bit tacky — and it won’t work for family members, but it can work GREAT for gift exchanges or relatives who don’t live with you:

Go shopping on our book shelves. I mean it. Check out all the things you bought over the last year, from books to DVDs or CDs and other such stuff that looks good as new. Wrap it nicely, and voila! A gift that didn’t cost you a penny (more than you already paid).

Even better…

Get together with some friends and exchange those gifts so you’ll be able to broaden your selection — and give such gifts to members of your family too. After all, they haven’t seen THOSE on your shelves all year.

OR…

If you want to generate some quick holiday cash, you can sell some of that stuff on Ebay or Amazon.com Marketplace.
