Holiday Gift Baskets For Women

A little while ago, I wrote a post on freebies for women. Little did I realize that there are also holiday gift baskets for women! Come to think of it, if we really spend time in selecting gifts, surely gifts for men and women are worlds apart.

Gourmet Gift Baskets came up with the idea of gift baskets for women only for this Christmas and New Year. I think that it's great that as a gift giver, we don't have to bust our mind thinking of what to give. All we need to do is just make a selection from a well-thought out range of gift items suitable for the beloved women in our life!

If you have not prepared any gifts yet, what are you waiting for? It's less than a month to Christmas time!

Predictive Index® Doggie Posters

I am sure you already know that I am a dog lover and I try my best to look for freebies that have a doggie theme. I hit the jackpot when I came across the doggie posters given away by Predictive Index®

PI Worldwide is a management consulting organization and they created these posters to help companies focus their energy in team building and realize that their strength lies in their staff. Hhmm I think my company needs a poster too so that they would treat me better.

Well, since these posters are serious stuff, I did not request for one. If you know of any doggie themed freebies that are not serious like this, do drop me a line! Thank you!

Digital Scrapbook Place

I received feedback that my posts on digiscraping are great. People have been looking for freebies. Let me tell you, I so want to start a hobby on digiscraping myself too but I can't seem to find the time! Anyway, my search on all things free for digital scrapbooking hobby will come in handy one of these days when I could find the time to start this very refreshing hobby.

Today, I discovered Digital Scrapbook Place, a site that has so many freebies for us to download. And it seems that the free scrapbooking kits here are specially designed for members, and not something recycled from elsewhere on the internet.

If you are looking for something different that you have not seen on any other website before, simply register with Digital Scrapbook Place. I know I will!

Where To Compare Prices?

If you are shopping for HDTV, you may want to check out the prices first. I heard that the prices have continued to fall, making it more affordable to the average Joe. So, where do you turn to for information on specifications, reviews, prices and which is the store near you that has your HDTV in stock?

I went to Krillion.com recently to look for a samsung 46 inch LCD. My father was looking for one but what was available here is just too expensive. I wanted to compare prices and true enough, at the prices that we get here, it's totally not worth buying.

Even when we check for information online, we need to know where to find accurate info too. Check out Krillion.com for home appliances and other electrical products.

Free Tagboard

If you are a blogger or blog reader, you probably have seen one too many blogs with a chat widget on the sidebar. Well, although I have many blogs, I do not even have one implemented with the chat box.

I admit that when I was a new blogger, I went searching for the ultimate chat widget but after sometime when my portfolio of blogs grew, I could not be bothered anymore. Well, it used to be fun to be able to chat at your own blog but not when there were too many to catch up with.

However, if you would like to have this chat widget, or better known as tag board on your blog, then the better one seems to be the one from CBox. You can try it out for yourself. It's very simple to implement and start chatting away!

Free Recipe Center Software

Image courtesy of Recipe Center

I used to keep a stack of recipes some years back. What I would do was clip out whatever recipe I could find from magazines and newspapers and stick them on a book for easy reference. I no longer have the time to cook and hence, my hobby in collecting recipes died off too. Collecting recipes takes up a lot of time too, you know?

A couple of nights ago, while surfing the internet looking for freebies, I chanced upon Recipe Center software, software that was created specifically for chefs, cooks, homemakers and anyone who collects recipes.

This recipe center is free to download and use. What it does is to store your recipes electronically and you can print them out too if you wish. You could also share the recipes you have in your collection with friends and family via email.

This is a great tool to have if you have a big collection of recipes. Get it quick before your collection becomes unmanageable.

Quality Used Cars and Trucks

If you are somewhere in Texas and looking to trade in your car for another "second hand" or used car, then perhaps you should check out Quality Auto Group. This is a company that specializes in used Used Cars Victoria, Corpus Christi and other locations in Southern Texas.

Even if you have no plans to buy from or trade in your vehicle to Quality Auto Group, you can still sell your used-car to the company. They would gladly transact with you.

Quality Auto Group is the best choice for people who do not have a rosy credit history because of their affordable used car prices. The best thing about it is that we can shop online and purchase our car or truck and Quality Auto Group will deliver it to their nearest dealer.

Create Cool Slide Shows

I came across Rock you a couple of evenings ago. From what I see, the main feature of the site is providing a tool for users to create slide shows for our social networking profiles.

The slide shows that could be created are only limited by our own creativity and talent. Basically, we could add in any element to our slide show and embed the code to our site.

Other than this sideshow feature, Rock You also has many different products to spruce up our social networking activity like games, shout outs, cork board, horoscope, avatars and glitter text and photo just to name a few.

Free Digital Scrapbooking Designs

Of all the websites that I have visited, generally, digital scrapbooking sites are all very tastefully done. Somehow, I think that scrapbooking hobbyists are a very creative lot and it does show even in the layout of their websites.

The Digital Srapbooking Free Site is a resourceful website with digital scrapbooking ideas, free downloadable digital scrapbooking kits,.elements, backgrounds, overlays, templates and many more digital scrapbooking items from talented designers.

What I like about this site, apart from the items that we could download for free is their list of why digital scrapbooking is so much more enjoyable than traditional scrapbooking!

Merchant Loyalty Programs

I don't know about you but I am registered with many loyalty program that this Christmas shopping has been tough in deciding whom to shop with! It would have been easy if I had only one loyalty bonus but since almost all merchants are offering similar loyalty programs, the deciding factor would be which merchant is offering BETTER benefits.

A company that I came across called webloyalty is hired by clients to come up with ideas to garner customer loyalty. They have to create loyalty programs that would keep the customers of their clients coming back.

This sounds like a great job to be in and going to work would be fun. If you were given the task to come with a rewards program to secure the loyalty of customers, what will it be?

Save Snow Stickers

I came across this website of Aspen Snow Mass a couple of weeks ago and I think it's of a ski resort. I am not sure. Anyway, I'm only interested in bringing you freebies and Aspen Snow Mass is giving away save snow sticker packs for free. From what I understand about this "save snow" campaign, I am thinking that perhaps they do not have much snow up there as they used to have due to global warming. Am I right?

This sticker pack would be great for people who collect stickers. I used to collect them but no longer do but I certainly can understand the passion. So there you go, free sticker for you!

Free Business Web Page Templates

I am sure you know that I have been looking for just the right template for my personal website. Sometimes I think I am a perfectionist trying to look for the perfect template for my site that I end up wasting too much time and not getting anything done at all. I mean, it's time to move on, I know, but then I try not to settle for second best.

I came across this website called Steve's Templates. Although they do not catch my fancy because I am looking for templates for a personal site, Steve has many templates that are suitable for business websites. Most of the templates here are free and the only thing the user has to do is to keep all credits in tact and provide a link back to the website of Steve's Templates. This link could be removed if you upgrade your free template to premium.

If you are looking for no nonsense business templates, perhaps you should check out Steve's Templates.

Free MySpace Quizzes & Surveys

If you don't know what is MySpace then you must be living in a cave. It is the most popular social networking portal and has been the leader of such social networks for the past few years.

Honestly speaking, though, I have no idea why MySpace is so huge but if you are an American teenager, then chances are you are spending almost two thirds of your day on MySpace. According to my younger cousins, what makes MySpace different is the community of members.

While my own MySpace profile is bare and using the default template, MySpace profiles are actually highly customizable. Most members have taken the trouble to spruce up their profiles and encourage participation from readers and casual browsers by place Myspace surveys and quizzes on their pages.

I came across a site this morning at http://www.quizmymates.com where you can create free MySpace quizzes or surveys and embed them on your page. You can also share what you have created with other registered users of Quiz My Mates.

You have the liberty to create any kind of surveys you like with the tools provided by Quiz My Mates. The good news is that if you do not have a MySpace profile (horrors!) then you can also use these surveys and quizzes on Xanga, Friendster and Hi5.

Free 2-week Trial @ Audibles

Image courtesy of Audible

Audibles, the audiobook portal, is giving away two weeks free trial where you will get to download two copies of ebooks completely free. I know that many of us have now switched to listening to books instead of reading. I know I have because it gives me a chance to rest my eyes and listen to westerners pronounce certain English words. Haha Yeah, weird, I KNOW!

So what do you do with your audio ebook? Load it to your iPod of course! It would look so cool, don't you think so? The good news is that all these audio books work with 230 other devices too, and it's stated in the website. I didn't know there are so many devices!

Oh yes, I just would like to mention that while looking for sweepstakes for this blog, I stumbled upon a couple of home based business opportunities. Let me check them out later and see it they work. Well, it's time to diversify, you know?

Famed Beauty School

In my country, parents would send their daughters to take up a skill if they are not that smart enough to cope with academic studies. They could enroll into a trade school instead, or a tailoring course, beautician course or hairstyling course. These are just a handful of more popular courses that girls attend.

However, my sister told me that in America, people purposely enroll into such courses to make a career out of it. She showed me the website of a beauty school and I am impressed with their professionalism.

From what I understand, graduates from this beauty school are recognized throughout the United States. Here, we would call such a school a "fame school" where people fight to get a placement.

Anyway, students in this school provide discount salon services to gain as much experience as possible. Of course, this is always under the guidance of their faculty. I sometimes also go to students for a haircut when I feel brave enough. Hah!

20% Off Camping Gear

I stumbled upon this website called Shop 4 Camping Gear and I thought that they have a very unique way of running a promotion. The site says that if you make your order of camping gear from Shop 4 Camping Gear on your mobile phone, you will receive a 20% discount off your order.

Shop 4 Camping Gear has teamed up with a mobile shopping site so to encourage more people to shop from their mobile phones, they are giving away hefty discounts off their already low prices.

I think this is a good promotion provided you have an unlimited data plan or all the savings would not be enough for you to pay your bill! Haha!

Free Christmas Graphics

Image courtesy of Christmas Graphics

Christmas is just a month away and cheapo webmasters like me will be all over the internet looking for Christmas website themes, layouts, backgrounds, graphics, audio files, clip arts and what not for our websites. It will be a busy time for me as well to change my own site to a Christmas theme like I do every year.

So, to save YOUR time, I am going to share my recent discovery.

On Christmas Graphics, you will be able to download whatever you like and use on your own website. All are said to be copyright-free but if you come across something that you know is copyrighted, do let the webmaster know about it.

Meanwhile, I will be busy browsing through the site and downloading files for my own website.

Free Hoodia Diet Offer

I came across this website that is providing a free hoodia diet offer. I have heard so much about this weight loss product called Hoodia but I don't know how effective it is. None of my friends have used this before but some are looking for further information as they would like to shed some weight.

So I think this is a good chance for people who would like to try the product out without spending too much money on the full product package.

This free Hoodie diet offer includes a free Hoodia diet patch as seen on Oprah. If you would like to try this out, check this out before the promotion expires.

Free Digital Scrapbooking

Image courtesy of Free Digital Scrapbooking

I was searching for more sites on digital scrapbooking because I thought that I would have some free time nowadays and can start a new hobby. I have seen many bloggers showcasing their very beautiful creations on their blogs and I am simply enticed to the hobby as well.

If you check out this website, Free Digital Scrapbooking, I am sure you will agree that this is a very cute site! Like I mentioned in an earlier post, digiscrappers are so creative!

Since I am just starting out, I think this is good site for a newbie since there is a good tutorial for newbies. There are tons of freebies for digiscrappers as well that are suitable for new hobbyists and more advanced digiscrappers.

15-Day Free Trial of Property Manager Edition

If your company is involved in property management, then there is good news for you. Buildium, the number one company in online property management, is giving a 15-day free trial of their very popular Property Manager Edition software. By using this web-based software, your company will be able to manage your property holdings no matter if you have a couple of condo units or a string of properties.

By using this web-based software, the person in charged of managing these properties would be able to do so from anywhere in the world as long as he has access to the internet.

Information On Oregon Mortgage Refinance

If you are in the market looking for a mortgage refinance or also known as remortgage, then I know that you will have to read a lot. I was told that although there are quite a handful of financial companies that offer mortgage refinance, not all would be the same. It is up to us to check them all, compare and then only apply for one that most suit our needs.

For example, if you are looking for Oregon mortgage refinance, you may want to check out the website of DeMark Financial Services, where you can find Oregon's Best Mortgage!

I believe that if you have any questions or doubts regarding Oregon mortgage refinance, you will be able to find it in the Questions and Answers section of the refinancing section on the website. There is a wealth of information there and it is up to you to read through them and use the tools like calculator and checking of payments.

I know that now that the interest rates have dropped a little, more and more people would be interested in checking out and applying for remortgage. Do it if there is a significant advantage over your current situation with your loan. In any case, it won’t hurt if you get to know the market a little further by reading the website of DeMark Financial Services.

Be In The Loop For Executive Jobs

A friend asked for my help in looking for a suitable job which he could apply for as he is unhappy with his current job. I told him that it is not easy because senior management posts are scarce and unless he s very qualified, he should stay put, taking into consideration his age too.

Another friend of mine suggested that we look for an executive search firm where the chances are higher in our search because the staff know exactly what employers are looking for because they worked in their respective fields too.

I told my friend, the job seeker, to bookmark the site and subscribe to the RSS feed of the blog so that he could easily keep tabs on new vacancies. Career opportunities, especially for high level positions, are not easy to come by so if he really wants to change jobs, he cannot afford to let even a single opportunity pass him by.

Fun For Your Mobile Devices

Once in awhile, I get bored with the theme of my mobile device just like how I change the wallpaper of my desktop computer every couple of days. But then with Nokia E61i, it is not an easy task looking for games, themes, wallpapers and what not.

I stumbled upon Mobile Fun as I was searching for something for my own mobile device. This site looks like it has lots of themes, games, screensavers and videos for Nokia and Sony Ericsson mobile phones.

To grab this, you will have to register with the website. I did a quick search but could not find anything suitable for my E61i so I left but you may find them useful for you.

Free Favicon Generator

Image courtesy of Favicon Creation

If you are a webmaster, I am sure that you would want to do all that you can to make your sites stand out from the crowd and not spend too much money. Do you now that I try to get everything free from my sites from fonts to buttons to backgrounds, templates, header, clip arts, audio and video clips?

At Favicon Creation, you can upload your photo and allow the tool to generate a favicon for you. This is a free tool and is rather nifty. Once you have the file to your favicon, you can add it to the header of your template.

Although I have favicons for my sites as well, they were not generated by Favicon Creation because I did mine a long time ago but I just discovered this site a couple of days back.

At the time of writing, the site is down but I trust that it will be online once again soon. Have fun.

TV Products For Less

I have written quite a lot of websites and on this blog, I try my best to look for something that is free, low priced or a chance to win something. This is the niche of my blog.

A friend told me that she wanted to buy something that she saw on TV. You know the kind of advertisements that we all love to watch? I also watch them but I never bought anything before because I think the prices are outrageous.

However, this friend, who has bought many of these products before told me that I could buy the cheaper than then price shown on TV. She sent me a link with a simple message, "click here for discounts".

If you fancy buying products seen on TV at a great discount, check out the website.

Get Connected With Cheap Moving Companies

I came across a moving company with a website at MovingCompanies.tv a month ago when a friend told me about the mess she had with her moving company. She said that she will no longer approach the companies herself but rather go though an agent company that has pre-negotiated with the movers that have a good reputation and offer more competitive prices.

According to my friend, at movingcompanies.tv, they will match the customer with a Cheap Moving Company which can meet her requirements.

Pricing is one of my friend's main concern, as well as reliability and customer service and it is easy to look for a company which can provide all three thanks to the matching services of MovingCompanies.tv

Free Celebrity Wallpapers For PSP

Image Courtesy of Celebrity Wallpapers

I was playing with a friend's PSP when she told me that she is looking for free wallpapers for her PSP. I was a little surprised that they even have wallpapers for PSP! I did a search on the internet and yet, I came across a few websites that give away free downloadable wallpapers for PSP.

This site that I came across called Celebrity Wallpapers has one of the best celebrity wallpapers for PSP. Of course, they also have wallpapers for desktop computers.

If you have a PSP and would like to dress it up a little, you may want to use some of the wallpapers found here. I tell you, the celebrities are so hot you don't want your kid to get to see them on your PSP LOL

Want To Be A Florist?

Image Courtesy of Florist Direct

When I came across this website, I thought that I would write about it because it's different from what I usually write about and it has no freebie to give away. Yet, I think that it's great because it provides people with an opportunity to earn from home with their own online floral ecommerce store.

From what I understand, we can register with Florist Direct and set up an online store without any cost and we would not even need to know anything about flowers or how to handle or pack them.

What we need to do, however, is to market our floral store and every order that we received will be handled by Florist Direct. What we receive shall be 5% commission from sales that we generated from our store.

However, if you would like more control over your flowers and products and more profit, you will have to upgrade your membership and pay a monthly member sheep subscription.

Information On Drug Rehab Centers & Programs

I received a message from a friend who wanted to know if I could help him look for information on drug rehabs and their effective programs.

To be frank, I already have the information on my blog, only if he did a search. Of course, since I already covered this issue, I told him to read my blog because I would not look for them a second time.

To look for my old posts is fairly easy even though Blogger does not have the category feature. All you need to do is to key in whatever word you are looking for in the search bar and click the search button, that's it.

While I am writing this, I would like to say please do a search first before requesting for information. Thank you!

Low Cost Home Medical Supplies and Equipment

I was surfing the internet looking for low cost medical supplies. I am sure that most of us have a need for medical supplies of one type or another so I was thinking perhaps buying online would be cheaper.

I compared a few similar sites and yes, Allegro has one of the lowest prices. Allegro Medical carries a wide selection of medical supplies and equipment. The only thing is that they do not shop international. What I don't like about shopping online is the need to keep checking which state has the highest tax. It's confusing to me.

Anyway, I wanted to look for gloves for carpal tunnel relief but it is no longer necessary because I do not suffer from the numbness anymore. I don't know why it is gone but I am glad.

Creating Surveys With Stat Pac

Image Courtesy of Stat Pac

Stat Pac is a software that you can use to create surveys whether online or paper surveys. However, if you are using the free version, you can only process the first 35 records of any data (too little!) so to use Stat Pac to its full potential you will have to buy the software and you will be given a licence to unlock it.

This file is rather large and according to the website, to download the file on a 56K modem dial up internet line, you will need a little more than an hour. WOW!

Since I run an ecommerce store, I have often wondered what my buyers think and I have not found the chance to create a survey and collect feedback from them. I have always wanted to do this but have not found the time because the other tools that I came across are not that friendly. Perhaps this one will be easy for me.

Free Mobile Content

Image Courtesy of The Unlocker

You most probably have read before that I am using Nokia E61i. No, I don't expect you to remember, lol but then I came across this mobile content site called The Unlocker, a UK based site that allows us to download free themes, ring tones, real tones, wallpapers and lots of other goodies for our mobile devices.

Unlike other similar sites that offer free downloads of mobile content, The Unlocker also has tools for us to create our own themes or ring tones online. I did not try these online tools our because I prefer to download the creations of other people since mine all suck!

However, if you would like to try out your creativity and share your work with other members, try out The Unlocker. Have I already mentioned that membership is free?

Free JourneyLite Seminar

I came across this website called JourneyLite that is for people who are contemplating lapband surgery and do not know if this is the procedure for them to lose weight. I have heard that some people have been very successful with this but then every patient reacts differently towards the procedure.

JourneyLite is conducting a series of free seminars on this surgery and everyone is welcome to attend. Oh yes, you can also read other people's experiences and testimonials from the site or participate in their discussion board.

If you are thinking of getting a lapband surgery, you may want to do some research and comparison first, checking on price, quality of service and of course, the necessity of going through the procedure.

Play Games Online For Free

Image Courtesy of Play Online For Free

I know I mentioned that I do not want to play anymore online games because I get totally addicted to them when I could not afford the time. I know fully well that these games are serious time wasters, AND YET! Haha!

But then yesterday, someone showed me the website called Play Online For Free. Seriously, how could I resist that? off I went to check the site out and spent a considerable amount of time playing those games.

Sites like these are way better than playing games from Yahoo! Games or MSN Games because on those sites, it is not easy to find a game that you like playing. I don't know why!

If you have time to waste, you may want to check this site out. Hah don’t say I didn't warn you, though!

Unique Singapore Weekend Getaway

Image Courtesy of Visit Singapore

Although I live in Malaysia, I have only even been to Singapore once. Ya, call me jakun but then I have no occasion to be there. Things are way more expensive than what I can find here in Malaysia. Ya, I know they are not the same but then if you are a cheapo like me, you will understand the pinch I felt when I was there!

I saw the banner for Visit Singapore when I was browsing through another site so I clicked on it because there is a chance to win a trip for two to Singapore. I know you most probably will say that it's not worth to WIN a prize to Singapore when I live so near but then a prize is a prize!

Register with Visit Singapore and to receive their regular email updates and stand a chance to win a weekend getaway to Singapore in a lucky draw. To know if you are eligible to participate in this drawing or not, check the terms and conditions.

Lila Guide - The Guide For Parents

I know that most of my friends are already parents and being single, it could be rather awkward because we do not have similar topics of interest anymore. At least it seems so to me. From the few times that I joined them in their mini get-togethers, their chats will always be about their kids and their parenting skills, or lack of!

Lila Guide is a website that I came across specifically for parents that I introduced to them. Hopefully, they get to share their experiences as a parent with other members who are also at this juncture in life.

Lila Guide is also a place to consult when you would like to buy baby related products. Which retailer offers the best prices, customer service, discounts, etc. All these are discussed on Lila Guide.

Carve Your Love On A Virtual Tree

Image Courtesy of Forest Of Love

This site is so unique I just have to feature it. The Forest of Love is a virtual forest with trees that you can select to carve your love on, declare it publicly to whoever cares to read. To do so, you would have to register with the site, it's free!

And then you get to select the species of the tree that you will be carving your love on. Once your tree is carved, it will spot the date that is was planted.
It's so innovative, right?

At the moment, I don't have anyone to declare my love to this way but when I do have someone to declare my love to, I most probably will never let him know of my tree, whoever he is.

Check out this site. Perhaps you would want to declare your love by carving a virtual tree?

Free Digital Scrapbooking Software And Stuff!

Image Courtesy of Scrapbook Flair

Well, well, well. I certainly am on a roll looking for scrapbooking sites that give out freebies. If you have read my earlier posts, I have already featured quite a handful of posts on digital scrapbooking. The more I look at these sites, the more I would like to get involved but seriously, I lack the creative flair. Besides, I don't even know how or where to start, except most probably download these scrapbooking kits.

I think that of the few digital scrapbooking sites that I went to, this is the only one that offers digital scrapbooking software that we could download and use for free. The other sites recommended other professional imaging software which I don't have, by the way. Free software sounds great.

Other than downloading this software, you can also browse and download templates, backgrounds and embellishments. This is a very cute hobby which I hope I can find the time to indulge in but if I have the free time, it means business is not doing well. Bah!

14-Day Free Trial To PowerOptions

A friend told me that he is interested to invest into options but does not know where to start. Being exposed to so many websites, I remember coming across a resource and information site on options investing and trading where members are able to compare and analyze over a few hundred thousand options and receive professional tips and advice.

Membership for real time data display is only $79.90 per month or $800 per year, a savings of 16%. Benefits that come with a membership includes toll free customer support service, newsletter, cheat sheets, strategy tip sheets and a session with an expert.

The good news is that you can test out the site with their 14-day free trial without having to provide your credit card details so you will not have to worry about being accidentally billed.

Free Tattoo Designs

Image Courtesy of Free Tattoo Designs

I was looking for something else when I came across this website that gives out free tattoo designs. You can just copy the designs of the site by clicking on the image and then print it out or something.

Although I am not personally into tattoos, I know a guy who is a tattoo artist whom I think is very creative. His own body is full of tattoos. Did you know that the older generations still think that tattoos are bad and people who spot tattoos are baddies? That's the reputation they have to carry!

The other day, I was surprised to find a tattoo parlour in a shopping mall in my home town. haha I have this idea that this place is dead, is not in tune with the latest trends but I guess I am wrong.

If you looking for free tattoo deigns, you may want to check these out. I have come across sites that sell tattoo designs and they are not that expensive but then free is always better, right?

The Birth Of A New Golf Blog

Yesterday, my friend showed me a new blog that she set up for her husband to write about his golf hobby. I was surprised that he could write so well despite not having blogged before!

But I guess, when you have a passion for golfing, you can write well about it. This holds true for any other topic too, of course.

As for me, I cannot bring myself to "feel" for golf balls or irons or anything golf related.

However, after reading the blog, I am thinking that although I don't personally like golf, it is great to read the experiences of a golfer trying to make it big.

TV Stands & Mounts Clearance


My cousin brother, who works as a manager in an AV equipment company, asked me to help him look for a supplier of tv mounts, shelves, cabinets, racks, stands and other home entertainment equipment accessories.

He said that although he already has a supplier for all these, he needs more variety to cater to the needs of his customers. Besides, it would be great to have companies competing to supply and at good prices too.

I found this Stands and Mounts online store which I will show to my cousin and see what he thinks. Perhaps a deal could be struck or something.

Win MAC Cosmetics From Temptalia Blog Contest

I was blog hopping and checking out blog contests when I came across this blog called Temptalia. I have never heard of this blog before but it looks really popular. It seems that they have contests every month and November is no different.

This month, they are giving away MAC cosmetics. And to stand a chance to win something from the large pool of prizes, we just have to subscribe to their RSS Feed via email. Yes, it is that easy.

I have no use for cosmetics so I am not going to participate. However, if you would like to get your hands on some of these attractive prices, head over to Temptalia and subscribe right now. They pick winners throughout the month!

So I am having iPhone fever once again and I suspect I will continue to blow hot and cold until the darn thing is in my hands and only then can I decide for myself if it's as cool as it is made to seem.

Anyway, I checked a couple of sites that offer free stuff for iPhones and I discovered iPhone Gold. This is an iPhone news site that also offers free wallpaper and games.

I would like to point out in particular their list of 100 free iPhone games. That's a lot of games, if you ask me but some of them are the same game but were developed by different companies. So the number of DIFFERENT games maybe totalled about eighty but that’s still a lot!

I wish my iPhone is here already so that I could install all the games right now!

Free Feed Ticker

I was looking for a way to cross promote my blogs by placing a running feed on my sidebar or something like that when I came across Ticker My Feed. If you remember, I used to have my feeds on the sidebar via Feedburner but I noticed that it slowed down the loading of my blog so I have to regretfully strip it off.

Now that I I discovered this, I may give it a try. Apparently, we can add whatever RSS Feed that we link and there are a few ticker formats that we can choose from.

Oh yeah, it looks like we can upgrade our membership to an Ad-free ticker. I haven't checked out how much that would cost but if you are into this big time then I believe you would not want your feed ticker to have any advertisements other than your own, right?

Win A 3-Day / 2-Night Stay At Karisma

It's a trend to go on an all inclusive holiday nowadays, especially honeymoons. Just now, I was told by a friend that she is planning to make reservations for an All Inclusive Mexico wedding package.

I was surprised because Mexico, as I know it, is not a popular honeymoon destination for people this part of the world but she said that her friend told her that it was the best vacation of her life so she is willing to give it a try as well.

I went to the website of Karisma Hotels and Resorts and noticed that their all inclusive vacation packages are very popular. If you would like to win a 3 day/2 night stay at one of the many Karisma hotels and resorts, check out the website for more details and information.

Get Paid For Your Media

When your page rank is tanked, it is time to look for more avenues to make money from the internet. I know that there are ways just that we do not have the time to keep searching.

I just found this site called Image Cow that supposedly pays us something for each visit to our image. Create an account to better manage our images and track our earnings.

I am not sure how the pay rate is or if anyone I know has gotten paid for their images but since everything is free, I am willing to give this a try. Now, where is my digital camera already??

Free Logo & Graphics Generator

I am sure very webmaster would want his site to look different. Well, even though I am just an amateur webmaster, I take pains in making my sites stand out with unique font, colour and graphics.

I think I spend half my online hours looking for new stuff online and when I do, as usual, I love to share them here and on my other Freebies blog.

Today, I came across this free logo and graphics generator. They have a huge database of logo and font styles that we can use freely. I have already installed some fonts on my word processor and will be spending the night playing with them.

If you are bored already with the fonts that you have or plan to create a new logo, check out Cool Text.

Lowest Priced Automobile Radiators

Radiator.com is a specialist online store dealing specifically in automobile radiators. When I first went to radiator.com, I was surprised to see a full list of car manufacturers and I have to admit that I have not even heard of half of them!

However, if you are searching for a radiator for your car, it is a very simple process as you follow the links given. I tried looking for a Mustang Radiator so from the homepage, I just looked for the link FORD Radiator. From there, at the bottom of the page, I selected my model, Mustang.

When you have reached the page of your car model, at the bottom of the page, you can look for your year of manufacture. For Mustang, the available radiators are for models from 1964 to 2006. That's a pretty extensive collection of radiators, if you ask me.

I hope you will successfully find the radiator for your car!

Free DigiScrapping Kits

In my search for all things free for digiscrapping, I came across this site called Shabby Princess. In the first place, I don't even know why the site is named such because it certainly is nowhere near shabby!

If you are into digiscrapping, you should check this site out. Its layout is so pretty and the digiscrapping kits are just as endearing. The owner of Shabby Princess has made it easy for us to download all these kits by breaking them up into a few parts so that those of us who are still on dial up internet access would not have a problem downloading the small files.

There are two years' worth of creations here ready for download so if you love digiscrapping, check it out :-)

Digital Scrapbooking Freebies

I don't know what has gotten into me. Suddenly a thought struck me and I had an idea of starting a blog on digital scrapbooking. I know I have been blog hopping too much and had been in awe of digiscrappers and the wonderful things they do.

The funny thing is that I don't even know what is required to start a digiscrapping hobby and in the first place, I am not even a very creative person. Plus, I don't have a good enough digital camera and I hardly even take photos.

Anyway, I did a Google Search (please slap me!) and found this site that has digital scrapbooking freebies. I understand that some sites sell them so I was so happy when I came across stuff like this for free.

On Digital Scrapbooking Freebies, if you want to download their archived freebies, you would have to pay as well but it's not that expensive. Enjoy!

Rare Coin Dealer & Resource Site

Although I am a coin collector, I do not do it as an investment but as a hobby. However, I know of people who are into collecting in a big time with the hope that their collection will turn a profit at a later date.

If you are looking for rare coin like the morgan dollar, you should check out Monaco Rare Coin. They are one of the leading coin dealers in the United States and specialize in Morgan silver dollar coins.

Even if you are not a coin collector, Monaco Rare Coin is a good information and resource that we can read through if we wanted more information on rare coins. It's interesting to note the history of some rare coins.

By the way, you could request for a free copy of the Morgan Silver Dollar report where you can learn more about the coin.

XnView: Free Image Viewer & Converter

I handle a lot of images in my work. While most of them are in .jpeg format, sometimes I come across some weird file extensions that I don't even know what programme to use to open the images. Anyway, I came across this image viewer which is a freeware but only for private non-commercial use, educational or non-profit organization.

I have not tried it yet but apparently it could support more than 400 graphic formats and it's very user-friendly. One thing about programs is that the easier to use the better it is for me!

So I'm going to try to use this to view some of the images I have and hope they could be displayed!

Free Reciprocal Link Exchange Service

I've been looking at ways to bring up my rank once again so I've been thinking of joining one of those link exchange websites. I wonder if it works. This site featured today is called Link Dash. They have two types of linking: One way links and reciprocal links. For one way links, we will have to pay $9.95 but for reciprocal, well, it's free.

One thing that is in my mind is if Bad G will penalize us for joining a program like this. What do you think? I checked a couple of blogs in the blog category and I saw a Malaysian blog in there with a PR3. Not earth shattering also.

Let me search out more link exchange sites and see how things go.

10% off The Nest Orders

If you are looking to buy baby gifts, you should buy with coupons. Do you know how expensive they can be? Well, if you shop at The Nest, which has the widest range of baby products and accessories, then I am sure you will be delighted to know that they have a 10% discount for you.

If you are a regular buyer of baby products, I am sure that you know how expensive these things could be, especially around to help with the kids so I think that any savings, even if it is for 10% only would be welcome.

To qualify for this 10% discount, you would have to sign up to their email newsletter. That’s it! Easy, isn’t it???

Free Seasonal Screensavers

I am not sure if I have featured ScreenSaver on my log before. Perhaps I did. Whatever the case, I am featuring them again because it's the holiday season soon what with Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year and they have a new batch of seasonal screensavers.

If not mistaken, Sreensavers.com is an old site and their database of screensaver is pretty impressive. If you have your computer switched on for most of the way, screensavers could help you make your computer seem more interesting.

Check out the site for some of the best free screensavers found online. Oh yeah, I have my pop up blocker turned on and it did block one or two pop ups so you may want to watch out for that.

Free Magazine Subscriptions

Here is a site that I found that provides free magazine subscriptions. To be honest, I never tried subscribing to free magazines before because of my country of residence.

However, I would just like to point out that a long time ago when I featured a similar website that also provides free magazine subscriptions, a reader left me a comment and told me to be careful of such sites.

I don't know what he meant about that, though. Did he mean that we have to provide our credit card details in order to take out a subscription and our particulars may be compromised somehow?

All I can say is to be careful where you want to disclose your credit card details!

Compare Credit Cards Easily

There are so many different credit cards in the market with different benefits and rewards that it really is not an easy decision to make to choose the best one to apply for. However, thankfully, there are websites like Credit Card Search Engine that makes it so easy for us to compare credit cards before we apply for the one that best suit our lifestyle.

My favorite card is a card that gives me cash back or reward points. I am even thinking of apply for one of the very attractive Sports Credit Cards that will give me reward points which I could then use to redeem autographed sports memorabilia. As a collector of memorabilia, I think this is a great chance for me to beef up my collection.

If you are thinking of applying for a credit card, which are you planning to apply for and what's your personal favorite?
