Since the crazy shopping frenzy is now officially over and most of us are still happy over all the cool gifts we got this year. I wanted to share with you all the top ten holiday gifts of 2011. I am only doing this post as an informative way to share with you this cool list and hopefully some of your gifts will be present here. This list was taken by the sales purchases of major retailers leading up to Christmas eve.
I really feel that this year the cash registers broke major records due to the large number of crowds to hit the stores this year. Which is a good sign for the economy as consumer spending is 70% of the GDP. The true test will be revealed as retailers will eventually release official numbers in the coming weeks to the media.
Top 10 Product Categories:
-Apple Products/Tablets
-Clothes/Outerwear
-Coffee Makers
-Cologne/Perfume
-Video Games/Toys
-DVD/ Blu-Ray Movies
-Books
-Cameras
-Shoes/sneakers
-Tickets to events
I know most of you reading this list received at least one of these list categories as a gift. I got some cool clothes that I can use in the new year. What did you guys get? Comment back to let us know.
The link listed here is the top items for Amazon.com the most popular online retailer. http://money.cnn.com/2011/12/29/technology/amazon_holiday_sales/index.htm?iid=HP_LN

OK so there you have it one list is a generic top ten of items while the second list is a record of amazon’s online top ten purchased categories. Just an informative way to share with you what was purchased this year. Also in the future before purchasing any item online or at a store, compare the same item with amazon because 9 out of 10 times the item will be less expensive at amazon.
After this holiday season we all watched our money fly into the cash registers. HaHaHa.
I got an MK purse that I returned because I felt it was an expense that we could not afford. My kiddos got a couple of great gifts and I put some money in their bank accts thanks to their uncle El.
@Ing- Thanks for the cool comment, yes we are all more conscious of our spending. Glad they got some good ol fun gifts.
