Give the Gift of Learning this Christmas Season!

Hello!

Thanksgiving is here and Christmas lights are going up as we speak! Have you started shopping for Christmas yet? Well, I've got some great ideas on how you can save money while giving some great toys that are both fun and educational for the important children in your life.

---

1.	Create a Child dt Wishlist!
	Look through the catalog with your child and select his / her favorites... Pass around a few catalogs and copies of the wishlist to friends and family... Collect orders - whether they're gift choices for your child or for their own family- then... Earn free toy credit based on your sales total! Use it on your own child or to buy something special for that other important child on your shopping list!
2.	Host a dt Party!
	Pick the date, place, and time... Invite as many people as you can... I'll bring the toys...then you'll... Earn free toy credit based on your party's sales total! Use it on your own child or to buy something special for that other important child on your shopping list!
3.	Buy a "Gift of Learning" Bundle!
	Save 10% - 15% on an infant, toddler, pre-school or family games "bundle" of toys... Give the whole bundle to that special someone in a lovely eco-bag that's provided...or... Break up the bundle and pass out the toys to several children as stocking stuffers or gifts!

Let me introduce you to Swap-a-DVD!

I just got an email today from Swap-a-DVD that a DVD on my wishlist is on its way: Yoga For Beginners

I chose it based on both the remarkable reviews on Amazon and the life change I've witness in a friend's life. Soooo...why post about it? Because I got it for FREE!

Well, ok, maybe not for FREE free...but it might as well have been! I "swapped" it for a dvd that was gathering dust near the back of a media drawer...hmmm, what was it called again? oh yea, Blue Collar Comedy Tour.

*blink blink*

In case the wonderful soul who found it fit to gift us this gem happens to read this, I'll just say, we never watched it. yea...*eyes roam*, we were too busy.

Yea, so...and my point is? Stop throwing away your money buying DVDs you'll hardly (or NEVER) watch...and post them on Swap-a-DVD! You'll pay for postage to send it off...but then the person who happens to be clearing his/her DVD shelf of a title YOU "wish" for...well, then they pay shipping to you.

As for this yoga DVD...it's not something I'd pay money for at this point...but with the possible life-changing benefits it might bring...it's sure worth a dusty unwrapped DVD I was never going to watch anyway. Besides, even if yoga doesn't work out for me (and given my track record with self-help fitness DVDs, the odds ARE somewhat doubtful), I'll just swap it at swaptree for another cookbook. :)
