Ready Set Holiday is a new website with useful features for holiday shoppers. Launched on behalf of M80 and Sears, the new service website enables visitors to prepare for the holidays with a complete holiday planner and recipie guide including a message board forum to discuss gift giving ideas. The website also includes merchandise from Sears, KMart, and Lands’ End while allowing users to shop with price comparison and by cateogry of interest.

The website as a whole is a terrific example of blending traditional holiday gift items (some organized as under $25) with new age online shopping. I would highly recommend checkin out Ready Set Holiday.com for your gift giving this year.

This week the company let me test drive their service with a gift certificate. I bought an HP Photosmart C3140 Printer / Scanner / Copier. The thing is pretty amazing for the small $99.99 sticker tag. It has a fast and reliable printing speed. You can print, scan, and copy reliably and quickly - photos as fast as 25 seconds and documents up to 22 ppm black, up to 20 ppm color - with this compact all-in-one. It brings true to life, long lasting photos and documents. You can create briliant photos, reprint, and laser quality documents at home with the HP Vivera Inks that are included.

The whole experience was incredible. The best and last thing I’ll mention is that you have the choice of picking up the item in the store of having it shipped out to you. Enjoy!
