(ARA) – Nearly everyone has a football fan on their holiday list. Instead of going with yet another T-shirt or a tie with a team logo, get creative this season and give a gift that anyone with a passion for the pigskin can appreciate.
There are many ways to enjoy football -- watching at home, tailgating at the game, playing in the backyard and more. True fanatics love them all, so make their football fantasies come true by covering a little bit of everything.
* Give a top-grain leather football for play during the day and a light-up or glow-in-the-dark football so the game can continue well into the evening. Discourage injury inducing tackles by gifting flags for a rousing game of touch football.
* Don’t settle for basic sports memorabilia like a jersey or team ball. Go the extra mile and find an autographed version. You’ll get points if you track down a favorite player and have them sign and personalize something for your gridiron addict.
* Get ready for game day with a basket filled with favorite snacks and beverages to enjoy while watching the action. A six-pack of premium beer, fresh tortilla chips and hot salsa and a gift certificate for pizza delivery are just a few ideas for your snack menu.
* A recent study for Samsung by Kelton Research found that 64 percent of Americans are football fans and 54 percent of them say that if there’s room in their budget, they’d purchase a new television for the start of football season. Eighty-one percent of fans say the quality of the TV picture is more important than the food while watching football. Put a season-long smile on their faces with a Samsung HDTV, the official HDTV of the NFL.
The Samsung HDTV has a huge, 1080p high definition screen and a slim and stylish design with a wide screen, so everyone in the room can see every play. Sharp resolution and multifunctional features like an InfoLink RSS feed and DLNA certification make the TV the digital hub of the living room.
* Give a DVD collection of highlights from a favorite team, and classic football movies like “Knute Rockne, All American,” “The Longest Yard,” “North Dallas Forty” and “Rudy.” You can even find candles scented like pigskin and the grass on the field to make you feel like you’re in the middle of the action.

(ARA) – So you got the new iPod or iPhone for that special someone this holiday season and the next step will be for them to fire up iTunes, and upload all of their favorite music to it. But you know from your own experience that organizing songs with the correct track, artist and cover art can be a challenge. What if there was an easy solution that did all the hard work for you?
"iTunes and the iPod have clearly revolutionized the way we consume music, but there is always room for improvement. When you search your iPod for a favorite band, you want to see album cover art and you don't want their songs to show up under 10 variations of its name," says Gabe Adiv, Chief Executive Officer of TuneUp, a popular iTunes plug-in solution. "These are the most common issues iPod users face and correcting them should be fast and easy. That’s why we created TuneUp."
TuneUp is the most popular iTunes plug-in for Windows and has recently become available for Mac users as well. "I'm a fastidious MP3 collector - I'm a music history teacher, buff and full-time nerd, so I've spent hours cleaning up my own tracks,” says TuneUp user Nathan Sutton. “Tuneup has saved my life -- and my time."
The following common issues can be fixed automatically on your iPod, making your music experience even better: |
