Soon to be upon us is Black Friday — the time of year when retailers try and outdo each other to corner extra sales. In recent years, retailers have been springing their deals earlier and earlier trying to get a jump on the other retailers. Some amazing deals can be had if you know where and when to look.
In light of that, what things are you hoping for? New computer? Mobile phone? Tablet? Game?
Alternatively, what great deals have you found (both on-line and brick-and-mortar)?
I think it would be wonderful if someone, by posting a wishlist item here, were able to find a great deal known by someone else in the community.

A useful gift can pay dividends for years.
This is what I want from gifts. Granted with 2 young boys there is a fair amount of toys but I try to find ones that they will play with for a long time, thank you lego, but for myself and a number of family member I go for the useful ones. My cousin whom I am closest to got married last summer and bought a house 2 weeks before the wedding. His dad was complaining to me that they were borrowing all of his tools, so for a wedding present I got them a box full of good useful tools. My wife asked me what I wanted for Christmas I my response was a new 18" stihl or husqvarna chainsaw. My little 14" poulan chain saw just doesn't have the power it did new and even if it were new it doesn't really have the power for dealing with 24"+ diameter oaks and maples. Yes I have basically worn out a chainsaw it only took me 12 years, about 600 hours of use, 4 chains, 2 bars and a carb rebuild. It still works fine on smaller stuff like 12" diameter logs but much more than that and it starts stumbling. In my family tools are always good gifts for the adults and get many years of usage.
