    Over this Christmas and New Year period, the chocolate has the place of honor.

    Of course, we have naturally the traditional chocolate boxes that we love. But tasting chocolate is an art. With this initiatory box, discover how to well eat chocolate, by following the indicated order. Chocolate is perfect to be in high spirits, but it is also good for your skin. Your body will love cocoa butter and this moisturizing cream.
    The amateurs of fashion did not miss the 2008 Cadbury Chocolate Couture Collection Fashion Show who recently took place in Toronto. For those who were not there, here you have some pictures!

    Discover the very competitive new Smartphone of the Australian manufacturer Kogan.

    smartphone

    Beautiful design, with a multitude of features (sensitive touch screen and QWERTY keyboard, GPS) and a very good connectivity (3G +, WiFi)…

    Its low price is also a good surprise! We can say that the Agora model from Kogan has a very good value for money.

    The first model costs 299AUD (what is 171 euros) and the professional model costs 399AUD (229 euros). You have also to include 34€ of Delivery fees… It remains interesting!

    The only curb we can see: the after-sales service which is a little bit far in case of problems!

    The New Year’s Eve approaches and, Ladies, you wonder what you are going to wear to be the most beautiful for this special night? Just opt for the little black dress, the famous one!
    Do you know that it is the French fashion designer Coco Chanel who has created and popularized “the little black dress” in the 1920s?
    Today, it clearly stands out as a basic, in the same way as the jeans or the white shirt. The fashion designers decline it in all materials and for all budgets every year. Here are some examples of black dresses which you can find on Web without having to break your moneybox. Let’s choose one and then, send me the pictures! ;)

    Patricia Field: £65

    New Look £15

    Don’t forget the batteries!

    Who has ever seen the dismay of the small brother or the cousin who discovers that he cannot use his magnificent electric car on Christmas morning because his parents forgot to buy the batteries?
    It may quite possibly be the biggest crime of the Christmas season!  This year, to avoid tears: anticipate! Get your batteries ready, and what’s that? Save the ecosytem, too?
    This year, forget the expensive alkaline batteries, which you have to throw away after one use, and try rechargeable, eco-friendly batteries instead!  They will prove to be a profitable investment!  Happy Holidays! And don’t forget the batteries!

    Facebook!

    The bargain of the day would have to be: “Facebook“! Almost everybody was shocked by the initial, exorbitant valuation of Facebook being worth 15 billion USD last January. After the financial crisis, suffering stockmarkets and the deep plunge of the share price, Facebook was re-evaluated to be worth between 3-5 billion USD in the middle of 2008. The latest valuation estimate we received from Valleywag puts Facebook at a bookvalue of 1.3 billion! That means that it is worth less than 10% of its initial evaluation at the beginning of the year!

    Initially we thought that Kelkoo was a bargain after having been sold for less than 100 million Euros in November 2008. That means a loss of nearly 350 million Euros of its value since its takeover by Yahoo for 475 million USD in the year 2004. Facebook being worth 10% of its price in January 2008 is a real bargain!!! Wouldn’t that be a suprise under the Christmas tree?

    Personalized Stickers

    It seems that everyone is equipped with a laptop, game console, mp3 player and a cell phone, and with more consumers than models, its likely you’re carrying the same models as your friends and neighbors.

    This can be a big problem. What was once exciting and original is nolonger impressive when it’s in the hands of everyone around you. Solution? You could go buy the latest model, but the problem is bound to return.

    Instead, why not try an affordable, creative and exciting solution: personalize with stickers!

    For about 15 euros, you can purchase the decorative decals of your choice for your pc, console, mp3 player and more. And, if the designs available arent to your liking, upload your own photos and favorite designs!

    Happy Birthday to you, “Mouse”!

    Already 40 candles on the birthday cake!! The LetsBuyIt-Team would like to congratulate the birthday “child”… the mouse! The computer mouse was born on the 9th of December 1968 and has come a long way since having left its father, Douglas C. Engelbart, and its birthplace, Stanford Research Institute.

    What used to be a chunk of wood has been transformed into a small, agile, and practical “mouse”! In addition, it has evolved into the most wide-spread and probably the favorite computer accessory of all time!  Can you even imagine a day without “right-mouse-click” or scrolling! Thank you very much, Mouse, for your loyal services!!

    Check out how modern the mouse can look these days:
