Donate
Donating to a charity of your choice is always nice this time of year. Does your friend or loved one have a cause they are passionate about? Well, donate to the charity in their name, print out the confirmation, and it will be greatly appreciated.

Essortment.com offers the following advice on finding a parking spot:

Consider how far you are willing to walk. Many store parking lots have plenty of available spaces along the perimeter and in sections a little farther from the entrance. If you're reasonably healthy and willing to walk a few extra yards to the store's entrance, you should be able to find someplace to park. Malls and stores usually have other entrances which may not be quite as far, such as the gardening department or automotive repair addition. Most customers tend to aim for the main entrance and will continue to circle the parking lot until a closer space becomes available. You'll save more time and gas by simply parking along the perimeter and walking.

Look for parking spaces on the sides or rear of a public building. Many drivers consider the large parking lot in the front of a building to be their only available option. But quite often the architects also include areas beside and behind a building for 'overflow parking' and spaces intended for employees and vendors. Instead of concentrating on the main parking lot, it pays to drive around the building and look for unused parking spaces. Unless the space is reserved specifically for employees or delivery vehicles, you should be allowed to park in any legal parking space. The store may have an accessible entrance near the side and rear parking areas. If nothing else, there may be another store which shares the parking lot and could make the walk to your original destination more comfortable.

Check the neighboring buildings for available spaces. A popular destination such as a restaurant or a government building may become crowded on certain days or at predictable times. Instead of trying to find a non-existent parking space at the building itself, look for neighboring buildings with unused spots. Many shop owners place warning signs concerning the use of their parking lots, but there could be some exceptions. If you park along their perimeters and leave their prime spots available, the shop owners may not choose to enforce their 'No Parking' rule. Sometimes a neighboring store may not be open on a weekend, so parking on the property may not present a problem. But ultimately a store's parking lot is considered to be private property, so the owner has every right to enforce his or her posted rules. Use your best judgment when parking in a nearby lot- you may be better served by parking in a city-sponsored space or waiting until a better spot becomes available.

Check into qualifications for parking permits. If you have certain medical conditions or are responsible for the care of those who do, you may qualify for a handicapped parking placard. Many people are actually eligible for handicapped parking but don't feel comfortable pursuing that option. Even if you don't qualify for official handicapped parking benefits, you may be able to negotiate an agreement with the store or office building to park in restricted areas. A parking lot owner has every right to say no to such a request, but it couldn't hurt to ask.

Here are some Holiday Shopping and Driving Safety Tips from ComparisonMarket.com:

Always park in a spot where there is plenty of light and if possible, park close to your destination.

Avoid parking next to vans, trucks with camper shells, or cars with tinted windows.

Close all windows and lock all doors.

Take note of where you parked your car and what store entrance it is closest to.

Shop with a friend or family member - having a friend walk to and from the parking lot with you will help keep you both safe and sound.

Place your packages in your trunk or under your seat where no one can see them.

Condense your packages into one or two bags to create the illusion that you did not purchase so many valuable (and theft-worthy) items.

If you run out to your car to drop off packages while shopping, make sure to move your car to a new location before heading back into the mall. This will help lead anyone that is watching you to believe that you and your packages have headed home for the night.

Leave your most expensive purchases until the end of the day when you can quickly hop in your car and go directly home.

Request for a security guard to escort to your car.

When walking to your car have your head up and your keys ready, the last thing you want to do is appear vulnerable to criminals. In addition, make sure to look under and in front of your car to make sure that no one is waiting to attack you.

Do not approach your car alone if there are suspicious people in the area.

Be aware of your surroundings. Often thieves will disguise themselves as normal shoppers who accidentally bump into you stealing your purse, wallet, packages, car keys or even worse, attacking you.

When entering your car, make sure to check your front seat and back seat for anyone that could potentially be hiding in the car.

Get into the car, lock the doors and exit the area immediately. Criminals prey on shoppers who sit in their cars to make phone calls or review their purchases for the day. Don't leave yourself susceptible to such a risk.

Shopping With Kids

The Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children offers these helpful tips on how to get through your shopping trip with small children:
If you bring infants or toddlers on a shopping trip, limit the excursion to one or two hours. Also, make sure your child is rested and fed before you head out.

Remove your child's coat or sweater once you are indoors; overheated children can get awfully cranky.

Shop with another adult, so you can take turns browsing and minding the children.

Keep children close by at all times, and do not let them wander around unsupervised.

Point out security guards, so your child knows where to go for help if he gets lost.

When you have to wait in line, give your child a book, toy or snack to keep him occupied.

Avoid stores with narrow aisles and shelves teetering with fragile items. Be clear and firm about what your child can and cannot touch.

If the cart comes equipped with a harness, use it. Otherwise, bring your own.

If you've got a child walking alongside you, make sure he does not try to climb inside the cart to join his brother or sister. You might want to pack a second child into a stroller or backpack -- it's cumbersome, but safer.

It's not a good idea to let a child push or steer the cart for you. He may not see or be seen by shoppers and could be struck or run over by other carts. Those miniature carts some stores supply for children to push pose the same problem, so stay close by and make sure your shopper-in-training follows the flow of traffic.

Lift toddlers on and off the step. Shoes and boots with soft rubber soles have been known to slip into cracks between steps and the escalator wall, so try to keep those little feet planted firmly on the step.

When you're shopping with a child in a stroller, always use the elevator. Escalator steps aren't wide enough to accommodate a stroller, so its weight may not be evenly balanced on the step; if the stroller tips over, you and your baby could take a nasty tumble. The stroller may also block your view of the bottom of the escalator, increasing your odds of tripping. And the people behind you can bump into you if you don't get off fast enough.

Make sure your child does not lean on the handrail -- the excess weight can slow the whole stairway down and throw riders off balance.

If your child does tumble or get caught, there are emergency stop buttons on every escalator, usually near the bottom but sometimes alongside the stairs. Take a minute to locate them before you get on.

AAA Holiday Shopping Tips:

Go during daytime. If you must shop at night, go with a friend or family member.

Be comfortable. Dress in casual and comfortable clothes and shoes.

Leave the purse and wallet at home. Keep cash in your front pocket. If you must carry a purse or a wallet, make sure to keep it close to your body or in your front pocket.

Avoid carrying cash. Pay with a credit card whenever possible.

Don’t wear expensive jewelry. You may attract unwanted attention.

Watch where you park. Try to park in a well-lit area or near a well-traveled roadway.

Lock up. Close all car windows, lock the doors, and activate the car alarm.

Know your spot. Remember where you parked; it will make the trip back to your vehicle easier.

Put gifts away. Keep purchases in your trunk and out of plain sight.

Watch surroundings. When returning to your car, have keys in hand. If you notice someone watching you or acting suspicious, return to the store and ask for a mall security escort.

Don’t overload. Avoid overloading yourself with too many bags. Always keep one arm free in case of emergency.

Save expensive gifts for last. Save the most expensive purchases for the end of your shopping trip so you can head straight home instead of leaving them unattended in your car.
