Getting good online deals for Christmas & birthday gifts

By Conor Farrell

So Christmas is coming up and you still need to do some last minute shopping? Well you still have time!

The first problem many people encounter is that of not knowing what to buy. A good ideas is to buy something that's useful and in demand. For this article I'll use electronics (such as computers, media players, cameras etc.). Such electronics gadgets are very useful - MP3 players provide entertainment for all, laptops are good for students or businesspeople who are always on the move, televisions and sound systems are a great idea for the home cinema enthusiast.

So now you have an idea of what you'd like to buy, next problem is the cost. Electronics and gadgets can be quite expensive and it's always a good idea to shop around. Many people go to 'real' shops on the high street, but online shops such as www.TechPhreek.com can often provide better deals and give you the comfort of shopping from your own home.

So let's look at a few products and compare some prices.

A popular MP3 player lately is the Apple iPod Nano. This little MP3 player comes in a 2GB and 4GB capacity. From the Apple Store itself, the iPod Nano 4GB costs £179. On TechPhreek! however, it costs £174.98. The 2GB model on TechPhreek! is £138.

If you're looking for an MP3 player with a smaller capacity, check out the Creative MuVo TX 512MB. This one is a personal favourite of mine. From Creative Labs this costs £60. On TechPhreek! it's available for £54.

How about a portable DVD player? These are very convenient for small spaces or long journeys on the road. A popular portable DVD player is the Toshiba SD-P1600. As well as DVDs, this will play DivX films, VCDs and MP3 CDs. From Electrical Discount UK this costs £193.98. A much greater saving from TechPhreek! is available at £129.99 - a saving of £64!

If you don't want to spend much over Christmas you can also get good savings on computer games and entertainment from the TechPhreek! website. To search for non-electronics items on TechPhreek! use the search bar at the top of the homepage (www.TechPhreek.com">www.TechPhreek.com">www.TechPhreek.com)

Microsoft's Age of Empires III is the new installement in their classic and hugely popular series. TechPhreek! can offer this game at £26.99 - a saving of 23% from the list price (£34.99).

So you can see - even after just looking at a handful of products - it's easy to say that great savings can be when shopping online once you know where to look. Hopefully this article has given you a few ideas for gifts, and if you're interested, pay a quick visit to www.TechPhreek.com, which specialises in electronics, but all kinds of products are also available from here. If you're not based in the UK, use the currency convertor at the bottom of each page to change to your required currency.
