Need some extra dollars for Christmas shopping?

Sometimes, we may want to earn a little extra money to go towards Christmas expenses.

But for many of us, especially those with young children, or even children at school, it's not really worth getting a potentially stressful holiday job to make that extra money. The kids need looking after, meals still need cooking, house work still needs doing. 

So something you can do from home would be best.

One little site I use to earn money is a site called Bubblews.


Bubblews is a site that pays you for writing for them. It really is that easy.

You join up and create an account, write posts that are a minimum of 400 characters long....that's characters, not words....(paste your post into wordcounter to check how many characters it contains) and publish your post.

You can write about ANYTHING....the funny thing your kid said last night, your fabulous recipe, your views the government, why people should skydive.

You are paid per view, so connect to other writers on the site, tweet your post, add it to your facebook account and share in on google plus.

Make sure you play by the rules: do not copy/paste from other sites, do not plagiarize, credit images to their source and no blatant self promotion.

Pay-outs happen when you reach $25 or above, just hit the big green REDEEM button on your account.
Link your  Bubblews account to your paypal account and after 72 hours, you'll get notification the money is in your account.

Easy. 

I have been paid out five times now, so this site is definitely worth your time.



Don't forget about gift certificates

Gift Certificates can make great gifts for at Christmas.


Sometimes, it's hard think of something to get for a particular person. It’s not that they're too picky or that you’re not great at picking out gifts, it’s just that they love shopping for themselves, or maybe you don't know they're interests well enough.

If that’s the case, then gift certificates can be a great idea. When you give a gift certificate, there’s never any doubt that the gift is the wrong size or color or is something the person already has. And this way, the recipient can enjoy a holiday shopping spree of their own.




To make it a stress-free shopping experience for you and the recipient, many online stores offer a variety of different denominations in certificates. No hassle of standing in lines after the holidays, the person can log on to their favorite online stores and browse while in the comfort of their lounge. Gift certificates can be used for anything under the sun.

They can buy items from health and beauty or can pick out a favorite book. They can order movies, music or clothing. The list is endless. Giving someone a way to make their favorite choices is a way of saying that you respect their desire to bring into their life things they want. There are hundreds of online stores that carry certificates and many of those don’t have an expiration date.

And there are SO MANY gift certificates to different stores and restaurants!




Which also means the receiver of the gift certificate can shop for things at their leisure, then wait another month and get something else. They can wait for a sale or for when the item they want is on clearance, to make the most of the money on the certificate.

Gift certificates come in different designs with colorful artwork that will fit whatever the interests are of the person you're giving it to. For example, Mom may enjoy a certificate with flowers or dolphins, whilst teenagers may prefer something a little funkier.


Two more benefits of gift certificates: 


  • They are REALLY easy and cheap to post!
  • You CAN buy them at the last minute if you've left Christmas shopping a bit late.
