It’s been a fun - and intense - couple of weeks at the office, with Black Friday approaching and the holiday retail season “officially” getting underway.  In Europe, consumers start their holiday shopping in early November.  They don’t have Thanksgiving to contend with.  Here, consumers are starting their holiday shopping later each year - and this year looking for that magic phrase, “gifts under,” their queue to save.

Budget gifts, green gifts, online gifts  - we got ‘em, along with an array of creative pitches to light up holiday gift guides.  Here’s a 360 holiday “wish list” for you and yours as you hit the stores for Black Friday and beyond (all 360 clients, of course!):

For family fun under $40, try Winning Moves’ 2009 version of the classic board game PAY DAY - cha-chink!   Need to really stretch that holiday budget?  Bendaroos offer hours of creative play time that’ll challenge the kiddies and keep mom and dad smiling, costing less than $20.

Got a gadget-guru on your list?  Oregon Scientific’s ECO+ line of clocks and weather stations are sleek and solar-powered, for a true “green” Christmas.

Don’t want to venture out?  Online subscriptions are easy to give.  For your favorite home cook, an Allrecipes gift membership offers access to premium content and features on the #1 food site.  (Check out Allrecipes.tv live stream the day before Thanksgiving for turkey prep tips & more.)

And who can resist a cuddly Snuggie? Look for the new red microplush Snuggie in store, online and on-air this weekend. We’ve sent Snuggie blankets custom-stitched with network logos to morning show anchors and broadcast talent hosting the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and big games.

The point is, we want you to get out (or get online) and shop!  There are some great deals to be had and fun gifts to pick up, and this Friday should be Black, not red.
