What to Get?
Do you go blank when you sit down to write out our gift list? I found a great shopping guide in Real Simple magazine - even if there's nothing on this list for your giftees, it will jumpstart your thinking process. Click here to see topics, then click heading for specific lists.
Tip # 2
Avoid "Oh . . uh . . thanks."
If you're not sure of somebody's tastes, gift cards from AMEX, Mastercard or Visa only (you never know which businesses are going to survive in this business climate).
And if it's "someone who has everything, consider services, such as massage, golf lessons, etc.
Tip # 3
Worth a thousand words
If you have been meaning to get all those old pictures or home movies digitized, do it now - they make great gifts. Once you have it done, copies are cheap. Check out your local camera stores, Costco or Google 'film to DVD', or 'photo to DVD'.
Tip #4
The spice of life:
Take this opportunity to clean out your spice cabinet and ensure that your holiday dishes taste great. Spices don't keep their flavor Check your old spices here.
Tip # 5
Toys, Toys, and more Toys...
Take the time to clean out the kids bookshelves and toy chests before they get another slew of stuff to add to their collections, you'll be thankful later.

Greetings!
Here we already, 'tis the season,parties, gift lists, family plans. A time of joy - and a time of stress for many of us. I'm re-gifting you a few ideas for managing your holiday season, so it doesn't end up taking over. As always, I look for feedback and ideas, so please share your own strategies for holiday tasks, as well as your feedback to me on how I can help you better.
Please pass this newsletter along to anyone who may benefit from this information.

- I have taken a Disaster Planning course provided by the American Red Cross. An interesting fact is that in our area fires and floods are the disasters that we need to be prepared for. If you are interested in setting up family plans and get your kits together give us a call at 484.432.8692.
- I have eliminated my PO Box (simplifying, one less place to stop, although I did like stopping into the PO), so all mail should be sent to 22 Leopard Road, Berwyn, 19312.
- I have also eliminated by business line in my office and am running my business using my Blackberry for all telephone communication. I am able to get more calls directly and respond to you in a more efficient manner (another simplification, one less voice mail to check and one less bill to pay).
