Public Service Announcement or How Your Christmas Gift Shopping Can Benefit My Christmas Gift Shopping

I figured I might as well just call it what it is.

Remember how at the beginning of this year this here little website received a visual upgrade?

And at the time I mentioned an affiliate program that I participate in through Amazon?

You know, the Amazon you already use to purchase clothes and games like I Spy and splurges like a Cuisanart ice cream maker?  The Amazon where you already enjoy your prime status that allows the miracle that is free shipping to bring the world right to your red door?

Yes. That Amazon.

Well. I’m still participating. The link is right over there on the right top of the ad banners.

Here’s how it works.

You think to yourself, “I think this afternoon is a good time to do a little online Christmas shopping. The kids are napping.  Trader Joe’s just released their seasonal sipping chocolate and I have ten extra dollars in the bank. Let’s go crazy.”

Next you visit this website. Not to shop for your children’s stocking stuffers but just to click on that little Amazon link.

Your computer performs some technological feat and connects you to Amazon – your gateway to cute pajamas, water bottles and zip lines.

That’s it.

You are done with me. And I get a small kickback from Amazon for encouraging you to spend your cash on their website.

That’s the entire story.

No mystery and no drama.

You buy what you were already going to buy. The end.

And I say thank you. Thank you very much.

No. Seriously. I say thank you. I know it’s just a click, but it’s an extra click and an extra thought and sometimes when you’re living the kinds of fast forward lives we are all living, an extra click and an extra thought feels like a lot.

So. For real. Thank you.
