Despite an increase in the popularity of artificial trees, there are still tons of families that opt to purchase a real tree. Like me, some people love the smell of a pine tree in their home. Our family also hikes out into the woods at a tree farm and we cut down our own tree and throw it on top of the car. It’s a great tradition and a lot fun.

Whatever your preferences, here are a few safety tips for Christmas trees:

1. To ensure that the tree doesn’t dry out, cut one inch off the bottom of the trunk to enable the tree to drink better.
2. If you’re artificial tree contains metal, make sure that you aren’t using electric lights.
3. If any of your lights show wear and tear, discard them and buy new lights. Christmas lights are relatively cheap!
4. Prior to turning in for the night, it’s wise to turn off your Christmas tree lights so they aren’t on all night (this will also save energy).
5. For real trees, always make sure that you give it plenty of water – don’t let it run out and become dry.
6. Trees should be positioned away from vents, radiators or anything that could remit heat.

Each year the holiday shopping season brings new, hot gifts to the forefront of the minds of consumers. These “must have” buys such as: iPod’s, TeVo’s, PS3, etc., dominate the season. This year, we’ve highlighted 10 potential “hot buys”. Each of these has the potential to become the craze this year.

1. The #1 ranked item has to be the iPhone! This product is very popular and will certainly be a hot buy during the holiday season.

2. Hannah Montana items are still very popular worldwide. Especially for young girls this phenomenon will continue this holiday season. 

3. Nintendo Wii was popular last year but remains the gaming console that is considered a must have.

4. Anything Personalized is also a great gift. Things such as picture frames, t-shirts, etc. Personalized gifts make the recipient feel like you went the extra mile.

5. A wireless reading device is a nice popular gift this year. They are expensive but very cool and becoming popular.

6. Guitar Hero is a very popular game that everyone seems to enjoy. A great gift that has been popular for the last couple of years.

7. Pleo the dinosaur is a popular gift for kids. Apparently its some sort of robotic dinosaur…very expensive. Google the term and you’ll find a plethora of ways to purchase.

8. Digital photo frames are very popular right now. Lots of big retailers carry them or you can always search them out online. Seeing them in person at Target is better though.
