Best Cheap Gifts
Splurge| Sometimes you just have to throw caution to the winds. And in this recession-era holiday season, that means splurging on a coveted big-ticket item. Really, for how long are we expected to forego our consumer yearnings? It's OK to treat yourself and your family to a widescreen LCD TV or surprise a favorite workaholic or Web-surfing fanatic with an eminently portable netbook. And if you happen to know an exercise fanatic, you could always go with an elliptical trainer or treadmill. The bottom line on these gift items? More than $200... |
Vizio VOJ32
Just think of all those movies you've passed on and football games that seemed so dull. Well, with the 32-inch Vizio VOJ32, you'll get 1080p resolution and sharp and vibrant picture quality. You'll also get three HDMI inputs for a high quality connection to a Blu-ray or DVD player or console game system. Just in case you've got a bit more cash on hand, and a larger viewing room, check out the 42-inch Panasonic TC-L42U12.
Aspire One D250
Some of us just can't imagine going anywhere without some sort of a versatile electronic device close at hand. If you know someone who fits this profile, give the gift of a light, portable, energy efficient netbook, like the Acer Aspire One D250. This model wins plaudits from users for its bright display and snappy performance. Consumers also like the Asus EEE PC 1005HA, and single out its battery technology for particular praise.
