Shopping for the men in your life can be very difficult sometimes. Whether it be a son, father, brother, boyfriend, husband, uncle, nephew or friend, sometimes you just don’t know what to get. We’re going to try and lend a hand in the “gift ideas for men” department, with this week’s installment of PennySaverUSA‘s Steals of the Week.

We’ve used the PennySaverUSA.com online classifieds as our inspiration during our search for Holiday gift ideas for men. Here’s what we recommend:

Men’s Clothing Accessories

One of the easiest things to get for any guy in your life are clothing accessories. You don’t need to know a specific size, and they will have a use for it at some point in their life.

• Money Clips
• Cufflinks
• Tie Clips
• Collar Stays

There are always variations to choose from, designs, type of metal, but you can usually make the right decision based on someone’s personality. If they’re not too flashy, maybe stick with something classic like these Antique Silver cylinder Flip Cufflinks. If they’re a sports fanatic, then it’s a safe bet to go with something emblazoned with their favorite sports team’s logo on it like this Oakland Raiders 3-Piece Gift Set or Ole Miss University Rebels Money Clip

Sports-themed Gear & Accessories

Piggy-backing on our recommendation earlier, sports teams-related gear and items are always a hit (if they don’t already have it). Along with clothing accessories, tech accessories are also great gift ideas. If the guy in your life is an iPhone-addict, then get them an iPhone case that has their favorite team on it. Choose from a wide variety of NFL Team iPhone Cases from this seller on PennySaverUSA.com. If they’re not the tech person, then a hat is always a safe alternative. If you don’t know their hat size, then get an adjustable hat that has the snap-back and they can adjust the hat to fit the size of their head.

Video Games

Video games have evolved over the years, but their addictive qualities are the same. If someone you know is a video game junkie, then you can never go wrong getting them a video game. If they don’t already have the newest and most coveted video game, then you’re going to earn a tremendous amount of brownie points if you’re the one that gifts them the hottest game of the season/year. Just do your research before hand, and get

the game for the correct gaming console that they have. If they’re not already hooked on video games, you can be the enabler in this situation, and get them an entire gaming console for the Holidays! Just be prepared to not talk to or see that person for a few days, since they’re entire days will be consumed with playing with their new toy. There are a lot of deals on consoles during the Holiday Season, and you can even find some in your local classifieds, like this deal on the Sony Playstation 3 Bundle.

These are just a few last-minute “general” gift ideas if you’re at a complete block on what to get for the guys in your life.

What are some “general” gift ideas for men that you recommend?

The Holiday season is in full swing, and PennySaverUSA.com wants to help spread the joy. We’re happy to announce our special limited time holiday icons and packages that you can add to spruce up your online classified ads placed on PennySaverUSA.com

You can choose to just add a single Holiday icon to your online classified ad, or you can get the premium package, which includes an icon, border and premium listing.

For the single icons, you can choose from a Santa icon, snowman icon, or Christmas tree icon, each priced at $5 (pictured below).

If you want to opt for the premium package, in addition to premium placement, you get a red border around your ad, and a sleigh icon in the corner (pictured below). The price on the premium package ranges from $22 – $52.

If you were planning on placing a classified ad in the next few weeks, give into temptation, and add a cute icon or package to your online classified ad, and give it that extra oomph!

It’s already the end of the year, which could be argued is the best time of the year. Holiday music, laughter, baking, family-time are just a few of the things that make this season great. For this installment of PennySaverUSA’s Steals of the Week, we’re going to highlight some of the best Holiday/Christmas finds that you can get on PennySaverUSA.com. We’ll focus on tress and decorations for today, and give you our picks for gift ideas in our next post.

If you’re looking to save money on your holiday decorations for this holiday season, one of the best places to look are online classifieds, and why not start with PennySaverUSA.com!
Here are some steals that we found, while perusing the online classifieds:

• Holidays are a great time to get your “craft” on. If you’re looking to get some Christmas cards for your projects, check out this listing for a variety of new Christmas cards for $3.00

• If you celebrate Christmas, you’re probably going to be in the market for a Christmas tree. Some people like the fresh scent of a Pine or Douglar Fir Tree in their home, but others prefer an artificial tree. This tree is from “The Country Door” Catalog, and stands at 7 1/2 ft tall with realistic-looking snow covered branches. It’s listed as in perfect condition and is going for $45.

• If you want to find a nativity set, and live in Florida, then maybe you’ll be interested in this beautiful 16 piece nativity set for $180

• Maybe a nativity set isn’t your thing, why not get a Christmas village with lights. This Christmas village is going for $80.

• If you want to spread the magic of Christmas in your home, then consider this Hallmark Polar Express Talking Plush Santa Claus for $10. If you want to hear him speak, push the right hand to hear “Remember the magic of Christmas lies in your heart”.

These are just a few of the Christmas/Holiday-themed items we found. There are many more, so start searching the online classifieds on PennySaverUSA.com to find what you’re looking for in your area.

Didn’t go shopping on Black Friday? Feel like you missed out on some great deals? Don’t. Lucky you for evading the crowds and throngs of people fighting over TVs, laptops, game consoles and panty bins. You get even luckier today, because it happens to be Cyber Monday, the biggest online shopping day in history. Exaggerating much? No. For the past 2 years, Cyber Monday has been the biggest online shopping day, and this year will undoubtedly continue the tradition and make it the third year in a row.

Most people find that it’s easier to just get on their computers, browse the internet, peruse the deals, add to cart and click checkout. No battling of crowds, getting pushed, spending money on gas to get to the mall, or wasting 20 minutes of your life trying to find a parking spot. Yes, some people do enjoy the interaction with others, and the adrenaline rush of finding the last item in stock hidden on a shelf no one thought to look…but for those that don’t, Cyber Monday enables you to snag some great deals with a mouse click, in the comfort of your home, or even on your lunch break during a busy day at work.

Many stores begin their deals at midnight, and offer extra incentives to ensure that you make your purchase. Some places will offer free shipping, 40-80% off merchandise, or coupons for a certain amount off of your bill once you meet the required amount threshold (ie $25 off $125). It can be overwhelming and exhausting to try and remember all of the online stores that are having Cyber Monday promotions. So to ease that burden for our readers, PennySaverUSA has compiled a quick list of some popular stores, and their specific Cyber Monday promotions for you to take advantage of, accompanied with some of our top picks.
