Need help on your shopping? Shopwiki.com can help. I confess that I’m clueless when it comes to choosing the right lamp, bedding and furniture. What I do is check websites with buying guides like Shopwiki so I’d know what to look for. For example, when it comes to buying comforters, I just check the design, thickness and that’s it. I get the cheapest with the nicest design. What I didn’t know is that you can compare them better based on fill power ratings. The higher the rating, the better the quality. This explains why some of them are more expensive when they actually look the same.
I’m also an avid reader of ShopWiki’s home decorating style guide. This is what every Do-It-Yourselfers need to read to avoid turning your place into a hodge podge of styles. The common mistake is that people buy things that they think will look good, without considering the overall look and feel of the room. Another thing that I’ve learned is how to shop for desk lamps. Aside from how nice it will look on your work area, you need to consider other requirements such as the ability to direct the light, multiple brightness settings, flexibility, shape and size, even energy statistics of the bulb. I love fancy lamps especially those that use stained glass however, I doubt if it will meet the requirements for my work area. I need something more flexible and one that can provide enough lighting coverage without affecting the whole room. Shopwiki helped me filter my options that I saved a lot of time and effort finding what I really need.
I’ve never seen so many video games in my life until I visited GameStoreUsa. This site offers Xbox games, PS2 games, Wii games and more. You can choose from new games which are factory sealed or if you don’t mind buying used items, you can purchase used games - all buffed and resealed and still contains the case, original artwork and game manual. Just Search for any games that say Mint or Mint Sealed. Not all of these used games are cheap though because some of them are rare and more expensive than other brand new games.
Personally, I’m not crazy about video games but if ever someone will give me Xbox for free, I’d definitely buy the Karaoke Revolution game or Virtual Tennis. As for my daughter, I’m sure she’ll love some kiddie PS2 games like Dora saves the Mermaids, Nicktoons Attack of the Toybots, and Winnie the Pooh Rumbly Tumbly adventure. There’s no doubt on what kind of games my husband will buy. I’m sure he’ll go crazy when he sees that there are tons of cheap used racing games available. In fact, I might just go ahead and purchase two PS2 games as a belated father’s day gift.
We’re going on a much-deserved getaway this Friday. We only booked one night but since it’s my birthday, we might consider staying another night. The travel, I hope won’t take that long because it’s been a year since we tried traveling with a toddler. And that was in my in-law’s car where we watched movies the whole time. She didn’t mind the three-hour drive because she spent it watching all her hi5 and Harry Potter DVDs.
Just this afternoon, it suddenly occurred to me that we should go ahead and purchase a dvd player for our car. It will definitely make the travel more tolerable for the little one. We have been looking for car DVD players for some time now but still unable to find one that’s right for us. I saw some brands for a folding DVD player at Shopwiki and instantly like the fact that they are lightweight but sturdy. The prices are so much lower too compared last year. There are also headrest monitors but you can’t take this anywhere else once you installed it.
I’m still keeping my options open. I asked my husband to scout the local malls tomorrow and see if he can find a good deal. I’m sure there are 0% interest promos at this time of the month.
I just saw that my cell phone, Nokia E65 now costs $281.99 from buy.com. I bought it nine months ago at $500 and now it’s almost half the price. Talk about depreciation. Well that, or cell phones are just insanely cheap when bought online.
I also saw a Nokia 95 unlocked phone and couldn’t believe that it’s being sold for only $478.99. Man, I better take advantage of this before my client comes home this July. He asked me if there’s anything that I want to buy online so he can bring it with him. Of course, what I really want is an iMac but there’s no way I can afford it right now. A new phone, on the other hand, to replace my now cheap E65 is a great deal. I could always sell it, for a higher price if I find that I don’t like it. 
Ever heard of vegan shoes? These shoes are designed to protect our environment by using recycled materials such as car/bike tires, rubber, plastic and inner tubes. They also use organic cotton, and other natural materials like cork, jute, bamboo and hemp. Everything is 100% environment friendly that you can wear it in front of any hardcore save-the-earth fanatics without hearing any criticism. I love the site’s design and the slogan too - shoes for a happy planet. They have sandals, sneakers, bags and accessories for men, women and kids. I enjoyed looking at the materials on each product. This GT Janie have buttons are made of coconut, uses a bamboo lining, have recycled car tires for outsole and 100% post consumer paper pulp foot forms.
Great huh! Check it out, buy a pair and save the planet while you’re at it.

For newbies like me, I find their gear guide very helpful. The racquet guide was very detailed on explaining various racquet technologies like aerobeam, dual woofer, flexpoint, intellifiber, string dampener, etc. You’d definitely find no problem choosing between Wilson tennis racquets and Head Racquets after reading this guide.
