Looking for the best Christmas Gift? Here it is!

reindeerSomeone got a brilliant idea for this Christmas season. Yes, someone thought of selling the ultimate gift this Christmas and posted it on Craigslist. What is this ultimate Christmas gift, you might ask? It’s no other than a baby reindeer! Yes, you read that right! Someone is selling a baby reindeer on Craigslist for an amazing price of $7,000! Probably Rudolph and Donner got too frisky and bored that it seems like out of nowhere, the baby reindeer was born!

Here’s the entire Craigslist ad. “I have for sale a Reindeer Calf. He is brown with buttons (no antlers yet, should have them grown in by mid-March). Rudolph is the stud and Donner is the mare. He is un-altered and would be great for breeding more reindeer because he is just so cute!! He is CKC registered and will only go to a loving home who will keep him indoors, where he belongs. I am asking $7,000. And that’s a steal for a reindeer. Hurry up, this deal won’t last long!!!

Now, to those who may be curious and dumbfounded, this is obviously a joke. Who would want to keep a baby reindeer indoors? And for the price of $7,000, you could buy a lot of reindeers already. Anyway, this Craigslist post is very unique and perfect for the Christmas season, don’t you think?

Christmas is a time for giving and gifts – try bartering on Craigslist

A lot of people are having financial problems lately but it should not stop us from celebrating Christmas and continuing our tradition of gift giving. We may not have money but for sure we have some stuff hanging around our house that we don’t need. Gina and Richard Lavelle came up with an idea so they could give presents to their for children this Christmas. They turned to Craigslist together with dozens of people like them bartering their goods or services for some gift items for the Christmas season.

Bartering is a good idea as you get good stuff and even new ones through bartering. Lots of Americans are experiencing what this couple is facing too. They’ve lost their jobs and are trying to make ends meet and with the help of Craigslist, they are offering their services for money. They are offering their services for just about anything. She would baby sit; split would or even clean the house. Her husband is a mechanic so he could fix cars too. So far, they are getting some responses to their ad already and getting some cash for it. It’s not as good as getting a job but it will surely be enough for this family to survive the crisis and their kids would still have their Christmas gifts this season.
