Where are you with your holiday shopping?  Already December is one-third gone, and before you know it, the time will be upon you to give out the wonderful deals you managed to find.  Or, is it the case that you don’t have any idea where to get the Cyber deals?

I searched around, and I think some of the deals I found you will be pleased with. What if I told you, there are deals for as little as $20.00!  Tom’s Guide had a few links I think are worth exploring.  Click the sale pic to find them.

PC Magazine has the best deals for laptops.  You can click the pic below to find the best deal for your holiday dollars.

Happy Holidays!

Christmas Cheer with the ElfYourself APP

canstockphoto23581046One excellent way to entertain friends and get yourself into the holiday mood is to download the ElfYourself app. To use it, snap photos of as many as five faces — yours and those of friends and family. Then center the faces in a special frame, add a custom text message and press “O.K.” ElfYourself pastes the faces onto animated dancing elves in a short, funny musical cartoon — for example, a Christmas countdown song that includes kittens popping up in unexpected places. You can share the resulting video on Facebook, Twitter or elsewhere. Be prepared for giggles. The app is free on iOS and Android, but comes with just one video — the kitten one. Unlocking more video themes costs $6, for which you get different music styles like hip-hop or an “Oh Hanukkah” video.

canstockphoto7515092How many of you are still struggling with Christmas gift ideas for the little people in your lives?  It’s hard to know what to buy with so much to choose from.  Not to mention that often board games do not seem to get as much publicity as the tech toys.  How can we come up with something that not only the younger generation will like, but will please us, the parents of the children?  I thought I might check with what some of the ‘experts’ for ideas to help you in choosing those last-minute gifts.  Here is what I found:

♦ Little PassPorts: Little Passports is the creative, fun, and award-winning subscription that kids love. Inspire kids to learn about the world with a gift subscription to Little Passports! We offer two gift subscription packages: the World Edition and the USA Edition: via Gift Subscription Ideas & Subscriptions For Kids | Little Passports.

♦ APPS of the week:  If you are planning to give your kids a new phone or tablet check out these Apps to download: via eSchool News | Apps | eSchool News.

♦ The Top Tablets for Your Kids: Considering that children are our future—and our future tech consumers—the computer industry hardly caters to tykes. Just a handful of computers and tablets out there are specifically designed for kids and their little hands.via The Top Tablets for Your Kids – Slideshow from PCMag.com.

♦  Tablets for 2 year olds: Most kids’ tablets are generally aimed at kids from around 4 years upwards. But if you’re looking to expose your 2-year-old to tablets, then there are products available. via Best Tablets for 2 Year Old Kids for Christmas 2013.
