Last week Easton listed websites where you could find some great Cyber Monday deals. Well...the start of the holiday shopping season is upon us and I have some picks of my own as well as some places to go for the deals.

First my favorite gift ideas:

Sony Cyber Shot 7.2 Mega Pixel Camera - This camera retails Circuit City for $195 (with Cyber Monday discount) but I found it on Amazon for 189.00 with free shipping! Hey, $6 is $6.

8GB iPod Touch - At the top of my wish list this year...to get the best deal on it though, you may have to jump through a few hoops. Several retailers have it on sale for as low as $284...however Circuit City is the only one I saw where you could order it online and get an extra 10% off for picking it up at the store. Just use this coupon code: PVAB4Q7AAT (see promotion details and instructions).

Flip Video F260W Ultra - Walmart has a great bundle on this one including the digital camcorder, a case and a tripod. Ideal of the amateur film maker in all of us.

Interactive Video Journal - A great alternative to the traditional journal for tech savvy kids. It's on sale today at Toys 'R Us for $19.00; $10 off the regular price. The only problem with this one is that the color could be considered girly (the product copy is even written for girls)...I don't know if my boys would go for it.

Mr. Potato Head Spider Spud - This is a cute and irresistible fusion of a classic toy and a favorite super hero. Also at Toys 'R Us.
