Holiday Gift Ideas


OK for those of you that still have holiday shopping to do and you still don't know what to get I have a few ideas for you... These are a few of my favorite things... you may have heard of some of them...



BACK MAGIC; What a great invention for those that suffer from back pain... This product, used just 5 minutes per day helps to stretch your back muscles and eliminate pain. Are you skeptical? I tried it and after the first use I had absolutely no soreness the first night... I workout a lot and of course play a lot of golf and "BackMagic" really does the trick in eliminating soreness! You must check this out! http://www.backmagicworks.com/



NEAT RECEIPTS; Do you save your receipts and paid bills in a drawer or a box? Or are you more organized and use an A-Z or 1-31 file? "Neat Receipts" revolutionizes personal record keeping. Just scan your receipts and the Neat Receipt software does the rest. It keeps a copy of your receipts and will run any number of reports that you require... You can run a report and it shows you every place that your money went... You can run a report sorted by vendor, by date etc... And it is great for keeping tax records... Save it to your thumb drive and off to the accountant! http://www.neatreceipts.com/news





GARMIN personal travel assistant; The Garmin nuvi 200W/250W (Navigation system)... For those of you that do not have navigation with your vehicle this travel assistant is awesome! It uses satellite to always give you real time directions, detours, saves your favorites, gives you local points of interests... It tracks your time of arrival, it gives you a read out on the screen and voice directions to ensure you are always on the right path! https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=9121



LASIK PLUS; The best thing that I did for myself this year was to have Lasik surgery... Wow! I can see again! I no longer have to fumble around with my glasses and squint to see things! All I can tell you is if you or any of your loved ones have ever considered doing it, there is no time like "right now"... After wearing glasses for most of his life, my son had the surgery last year and he too is still extremely pleased. He said that it gave him added confidence because he no longer worried about his contacts "popping out" while playing football. We used Lasik Plus here in Houston... they also have locations in several states.... And they offer 12-18 months zero interest... http://www.lasikplus.com/



GOLF'S SHORT GAME FOR DUMMIES; Of all of the books available on teaching golf for beginners and other weekend warriors this one really explains it in terms that will help you improve your game. If you have aspiring golfers on your Holiday gift list I highly recommend this book... I struggled with my sand shots and after reading the chapter on sand play I have been able to get out of the traps every time! http://www.amazon.com/Golfs-Short-Dummies-Sports-Hobbies/dp/0764569201



BOBBY JONES HYBRIDS; Even though I have no personal experience yet... the golfers in your life (If they don't already have hybrids in their bag) would really love the H2, H3 H4 Bobby Jones hybrid set! They may not help the game but they sure look good! Just kidding, this is really a shameless plug for my own Holiday stocking! Honey are you reading? They can be found at most of your local Pro Golf stores... http://www.bobbyjonesgolf.com/hybrids.html

IPOD SHUFFLE; I love my Ipod Shuffle... I often hear the younger crown say "it only holds 250 songs"... to that I say "so what"... I run about a 2.5 mile circuit through the neighborhood three days per week and I have only loaded 149 songs... never during those few miles have I listened to all of them... :-) Seriously though whether you are running, riding your bike or working out in the gym the Shuffle is about the size of a postage stamp and has a great sound! And at around $80 bucks it is affordable... and it comes in a variety of colors.
