Secret Santa Sale - 20% off store-wide
As we move into the main stretch of the Christmas 2009 Shopping Season many stores are running time specific deals.  Similar to Black Friday or Cyber Monday something special is being offered.  The Discovery Store from the Discovery Channel is running a 20% off if you order through their special links and banners that they are offering to their affiliates.  I have always like The Discovery Channel.  I admit I am a bit of a science and techie geek but that doesn't mean that the gifts offered at the Discovery Channel Store won't appeal to the masses.

timemgmtOne of the greatest gifts you can give someone going to college/university or entering the real world in their first jobs is the gift of learning to manage their time.  There are debates about whether you like one approach or another but the most important thing is to use a system and a method that will work for you.  I have older nieces that have been to college and one of the greatest weaknesses I saw them face was the proper use of their time.  Being on your own for the first time can be overwhelming to many.

kidjourneyGraduation is a big deal!  We've entered commencement season and many of us need to consider getting graduation gifts for our loved ones.  Graduation gift ideas are not that hard to come up with if you take the time to know the graduate.  Many of us are far removed from the graduation experience and need to take ourselves back to both the exhilaration and fear that accompanies this great accomplishment.
