I pride myself on getting all my holiday gift shopping done by December 1st. This allows me not only to save money by shopping during sales, and save time by not having to stand in those deadly lines but it also allows me to better enjoy the other aspects of the holiday season.

Sure I still go to the mall. I love to see the wide eyed kiddies sit on Santa's knee and to hear the holiday music and put my toys under the toy drive tree. But I pick and choose what I do. I'm not elbowing some sweet little ol' lady away from the last Tickle Me Elmo (I kid you not, I've seen that sort of thing happen).

One of the things I like to get the loved ones in my life are books. Not only juicy romance novels (I finished Anne Gracie's The Perfect Rake and loved it so much, I ran out and bought The Perfect Kiss too - supposedly there are two more novels in the series), but personal finance books also.

Now, I won't sugar coat it. Most people (nutbars such as myself excluded) don't find personal finance books that enjoyable (adding chocolate to the gift tends to help). That's why I tend to lean towards the softer, fairly number free finance books.

One such book is Kim Kiyosaki's Rich Woman. This is a good book for the very intro investor or finance gal. And if you buy it during the month of October, a portion of the sales will go to Breast Cancer (telling a Mom that, combined with chocolate, MIGHT prevent a book to the head).
