My tip of the week: Shop Amazon.ca for books and video games

This week I realized that many of my Canadian friends don't know about Amazon.ca. So I am here to tell you that you really should consider buying your books and video games on Amazon.ca and this is why:

- Prices are generally, if not always, cheaper
- Delivery right to your doorstep
- You can pre-order books and video games which will be delivered at the release date (my husband does this all the time with video games and feels like he is receiving a gift every time as he tends to forget he ordered the item..!)
- Delivery is free for most items on orders of $25 or more

Via Amazon.ca

Even if you are not an online shopper, shopping online for books or video games is easy. You don't have to try on the item or inspect it.

So if you still have any one left on your list, you can shop on Amazon.ca and probably still get your order by Christmas, but it will depend on the item. Good luck!

My tip of the week: When in doubt Book + Toy = Perfect gift!

Sometimes we want to give a thoughtful & fun children's gift but are afraid to choose a toy or book the child (or his sibling) may already have. I think it's a pretty sure bet is to choose a book you love or think the child will love and accompany it with a toy that goes along with the same character or theme.

For books I like to stay with the classics (Goodnight Moon, The Hungry Very Caterpillar, any titles by Dr Seuss, Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed (This one is definitely our favorite!), Tails, Guess How Much I love you...).
