So, let me help. The main thing you have to know about Valentine’s Day is your significant other wants something that’s unique and special. She will love store bought items, but would be ecstatic over something you make on your own! I know, that’s scary to think about. But here’s where I come in.

My suggestion:

To have the best of both worlds you should pick several small gifts that you know she’ll enjoy, or one big gift and a few small gifts and then add your special touch by packaging it all in a nice basket instead of spending a ton of money buying a pre-made basket.

Here’s how to do it:

• Go to Wal-Mart or Target or Hobby Lobby (any store with a crafts section) and buy a dark brown, white, red, or pink basket big enough to put the gifts in. (Make sure it’s not too big and has low sides so she will be able to see what’s in the basket.)
• While you’re there buy clear cellophane wrap – it comes on a roll. And Valentine’s Day themed ribbon (Red, Pink or something with Hearts on it.)
• Take the gifts you bought and arrange them in the basket so she can see each of them.
• Cut a large piece of clear cellophane and set the basket in the center.
• Pull the cellophane up on all sides and bunch it together at the top.
• Tie the ribbon around the top to hold it together.

When you give your love her gift put it over the top with flowers from 1800Flowers.com or a gorgeous piece of jewelry from Gordon’s Jewelers. Grab an eBillme gift card and earn cash back rewards on your purchase!

There you go! You will have great gifts she will love plus you’ve added a touch of creativity. I can promise you, she will be shocked to find out you made the basket all yourself! Just don’t tell her you got the idea from us… and we promise to keep our lips sealed too.

If you have any problems picking out the basket, gifts, or difficulty making the basket let us know! We want to help! Good Luck!

Gift ideas:

• Looking for an inexpensive gift? Make a homemade collage of pictures that he or she can hang in their dorm room
• Go to a local craft store and buy melting chocolate and molds instead of spending a lot of cash on designer chocolates. It’s easy to make in the microwave and your Valentine will appreciate the homemade gift or the two of you could have fun making Chocolate together
• Burn a CD of your favorite songs and include a handwritten note about why each one is special
• Leave little notes around his/her dorm room that say why you love them

The point of Valentines Day isn’t to spend tons of money, its to remind the people in your life why you love them. So for this Valentine’s Day, remind your Valentine why they are so special to you that will also save you money!

Here are a few Valentine’s Day facts to get you thinking…

Now… Get your Valentine’s Day shopping on!

Every new year the dreaded question pokes it’s head up – “What’s your New Year’s resolution?” Yep, I hate that question. It forces me to choose something to change, tell someone what I plan to change and at that point I’m forced to stick with said change or else I will fail before the new year even begins.

It’s a lot to think about! So I want to hear from you… Did you make a New Years Resolution? If so, what is it and how are you doing with keeping your resolution?

Or, did you opp for not making a resolution so you can avoid the feeling of failure when you mess up.

Some of the most common resolutions for the new year are dieting/losing weight, working out more, spending less and getting rid of debt. If you’ve chosen any of the above for your resolution you’ll be happy to know that eBillme can actually help you! Check out our Gift Card Mall with over 60 top brand gift cards including NutriSystem for weight management, Champs Sports and other sports merchant gift cards for working out plus all gift cards offer a cash back rewards program on every order so you can start working off that debt right away!

eBillme is a debt free online payment option and your best choice for online payments in 2012!

Cheers to a successful and blessed new year.

1. Keep it in Vision – Keep your shopping or To Do list in a place you look often like your checkbook, wallet, on the fridge, etc. If you’re looking at the list often you’re less likely to be distracted by other things and you’ll be prompted to check things off faster.
2. Keep it Short – Take some time to go through your list and delete anything that isn’t necessary. Maybe you can join 2 into 1 by getting two gifts at the same place. Or maybe you only need to bake 2 dozen cookies instead of cookies plus homemade candy. When you see your time is running out find ways to shorten your list so you won’t feel overwhelmed.
3. Keep a Schedule – Sit down and plan out your schedule for the next week. Make sure you have time for family and time for yourself in addition to planning time to check off your ‘to do’ list.

Remember, don’t overdo yourself over the next week. You don’t want to be too exhausted and under the weather to enjoy your family time and watching everyone open those gifts from your list.

When it comes to finding gifts, don’t forget online gift cards are the perfect gift for anyone – the person who has everything, the one who tends to return gifts or the person that always asks for the newest tech gadget when you have no idea which one to get. A gift card will never be returned and is always the right size, color and price. Shop eBillme’s Gift Card Mall for the most popular gift cards like Old Navy, Gap, Overstock, Dell, JCPenney and so many more! Plus, when you buy gift cards from eBillme you will earn cash back rewards on every purchase!

Good luck finishing your shopping list, don’t let it stress you out, enjoy the fun of shopping, baking, cooking and being with family.

Merry Christmas!

Don’t fight the gift cards.

Your loved ones pick the holiday gift, so they’ll always get what they want! Whether you’re getting a Christmas gift for him or for your teenage daughter, it’s a present that will suit all needs and tastes.

And similarly, a wish list from your loved ones is a big help if you’re bad at figuring out what to give and your go-to gift is a fuzzy sweater – buy straight off the list, or use it to generate ideas and you can always come back to it for another occasion.

Maybe a slick new netbook is something that you or your spouse has always wanted, but it was just out of reach, or perhaps a flat screen TV for the bedroom.

Make your wishlist, and maybe Santa will shop early this year because the Black Friday sales are just too good to miss!

Every year, Black Friday specials are available on everything you can think of. So make your list, check it twice, and then head to leading online retailers like Sears.com for great gifts for your family and home.

Happy Black Friday shopping – hope your Christmas wish list comes true!
