Last week I posted part one of the Top Ten Electronics Gifts for 2009 covering my picks for numbers ten through six. And now we have, live and in color, without further ado: THE TOP FIVE.

Pause for applause.

Cue Queen's "We Are The Champions." Thank you, thank you. Okay, enough with the second stage comedy, let's dive right in.

Kicking things off this week in the number five spot:

The Holidays are approaching and that means you no doubt have a few eggnog laden nights in your future. It's the time of year where you'll be hopping from party to party, trimming trees, giving thanks, collecting gelt, or just being merry with friends. But with all the expenses of gift giving and travel, who wants to add a Holiday party wardrobe to your list of expenses?

Not you, Savvy Saver!

With just a few simple accessories, you can wear the same basic dress to any occasion. Save money and time--and look great doing it.

If you are involved at all with any social networking sites, it's probably a safe bet to assume that you have at least a few pictures of yourself up and maybe those of some close friends as well. Even if you are a novice participant in those arenas, you probably have a blog or at least a cool image that you have set as an avatar that you share with others on your IM program of choice.

As more and more people open up large segments of their lives to the ever-expanding online global community, the popularity of websites dedicated solely to photo sharing continues to grow. Sites like Photobucket have been used for years as huge image repositories for blogs and websites.

These types of sites have led to the birth of massive photo sharing hubs such as Shutterfly, Kodak EasyShare, Snapfish, Flickr, and SeeHere, just to name a few.

So this week, as promised, I am kicking off my list of top ten holiday gifts in the consumer electronics realm. The following represents the types of products that look to be hot sellers this holiday season. To make the list seem less broad, in some cases I have picked specific brands that will likely be at the top of everyone's wish lists in their respective categories.

I really tried to focus this list on those items that have been reduced in price and--coupled with some great Black Friday sales or Cyber Monday deals--could be scooped up at a tremendous bargain. After part two next week, if you agree, disagree or are left wondering why your most sought after item didn't make the cut, drop a comment and let's keep the discussion going until the last of the turkey is gone and the mistletoe starts to whither away.

With Black Friday fast approaching and the holidays right around the corner I thought I'd highlight some great green gifts that might not be on your list, but would make a great edition, particularly for that hard to shop for fuddy duddy. These trendsetting green gadgets and gizmos aren't only environmentally conscious, but they'll also turn your friends green with envy.

The Holiday season is upon us. Time for mistletoe, eggnog, brisket and big savings. It's a great time to start stocking up on gifts for everyone in your life. I personally love giving and receiving bath products. They are always useful, they're not fattening, and--through the magic of gift sets and promo codes--they are a fabulous bargain.

There's a perfect gift of beauty for everyone on your list. Check it out!

I never started paying much attention to nutritional supplements or vitamins until my doctor told me that I could be prone to early-onset osteopenia (bone density that's lower than normal peak) after seeing my X-ray results for a fractured ankle a few years ago. Given my strong family history of osteoporosis, my aversion to dairy, and body frame size, I knew I had to do something to reverse the silent disease that, left untreated, could be more of an eventuality than a speculation. The ankle break was a misfortune but the resultant "wake-up" call was certainly welcome news to me.

Many medical professionals are skeptical of the benefits of herbs and supplements. And, perhaps rightly so, as we should all try to incorporate well-balanced diets into our lifestyles that ensure we get all the daily recommended nutrients and vitamins instead of relying on supplements to replenish the deficit.

But when you can't always have that lunch break or get all the leafy greens into your system every day, many Complementary Alternative Medicine Doctors and Practitioners recommend supplements to ward of disease and maintain health.

After my luggage was lost on my last flight, I vowed to try to make my next trip with just a carry-on. This might sound like a small feat, but for someone as indecisive as me, it isn't. ("What if I want to wear the boots instead of the flats? I'll bring both. And the t-straps. Just in case.") Sure, I packed lighter when I was younger, but I usually ended up looking like a grungy teenager.

Since tomorrow I'm headed to San Francisco for Save Up, I grilled friends, scoured the web for packing tips, and hit up fashion magazines for the best advice on packing light while looking right. As always, I found a way to make sure your biggest travel expense is your plane ticket, not your wardrobe.

Ah, Thanksgiving. Such a cornucopia of culinary delights. Such a delightful melange of seasonal flavors. So utterly impossible to match with wine.

You can pair each individual Thanksgiving dish with a wine, of course. But finding a wine to complement the whole meal is a different story. You may have herbal notes in the stuffing, buttery mashed potatoes, marshmallow-y yams, white or dark meat. And let's face it, one tart mouthful of cranberry sauce and the whole wine pairing plan gets shot to heck.

So what can you do, besides pretend you forgot to buy cranberry sauce? Choose a crowd pleasing favorite that goes with the widest range of flavors.

We've got your list here.

Thinking about a destination holiday this Winter season? Maybe an exotic Christmas or New Year's? Eco-tourism has become big business and a viable travel option.

Eco-travel is typically based on principles of respect and working with the local community. Eco travel destinations usually buy local, hire local, and often reinvest funds to help the local community. There are some pretty amazing options out there for eco-friendly travel, but even if you're just confined to going to Grandma's this year, there are still things you can do to off-set your carbon footprint.

Halloween is this weekend which means it's the time to embrace all that is dark, macabre and spooky. And though everyone might bust out their best Monster Mash, there are some spooky icons who get ghoulish 24/7.

Wanna bring a little "Day of the Dead" into your everyday? Pick your profile poison: Are you a Vicious Vamp? A Fresh Faced Freak? Or a Glamorous Ghoul? Below I've got ideas about how to make their looks wearable, even after Halloween is over. And of course, dear reader, I've also got coupons and deals for you. Because spending too much on beauty and fashion? Now that's scary!

Get inspired by the spooky styles of three classic, creepy but well-heeled ladies, just in time for Halloween. Read on--if you dare...

Travelers looking for the real Halloween travel deal--or a summer, fall or spring deal as well--might consider an Eastern Europe vacation for a splendid trip that offers all of the history, culture, and natural beauty of Western Europe at roughly a third to half the cost depending on the venues you choose.

This region is home to Transylvania, summer nights where midnight is light as day, medieval villages, and regional cuisines and wines that keep visitors coming back. Each of the following destinations is popular among tourists, yet surprisingly affordable. Even so, you can take even more of the price of a trip with Orbitz travel coupon for $50 off a 4 night stay or Travelocity hotel coupons, including one for $100 off.

Here are some highlights to a mostly overlooked and under-priced travel destination:

Recently Mainstreet had a post about cheap natural remedies and on the same day, Wisebread posted seven natural ways to fight the flu. Tylenol, Pepto Bismol and NyQuil may be OTC standards, but there are simple and natural alternatives that deserve space in your medicine cabinet.

Here's a list of five of my favorite natural basics to cure what ails you:

Recently arriving on the scene to take the digital camera world by storm is a brand new offering from Samsung. The new TL220 DualView digital camera is not only being lauded for its deeply innovative features, but also for its simple to grasp interface and the great price attached to it.

Our love affair with the Internet is at an all-time high. As a result, we are constantly seeking out new ways to connect with friends, family, and vast stores of digital information no matter where we happen to be throughout our day.

This week I want to talk a bit about wireless internet connectivity. Specifically, I want to offer some tips on the cheapest ways to use wi-fi. What is Wi-Fi exactly? Very simply, W-Fi enabled devices allow you to connect to the internet from any location, indoors or out, as long as you are in close proximity to a wireless network. Interconnected access points, often colloquially referred to as "hotspots," serve as the central connection zone that can be anywhere in size from a small room to a large area covering several miles.

Here are the two main ways to save while connecting online via Wi-Fi technology:

Something about fall makes me want to shop. Maybe it's a lingering effect of years of Back-to-School shopping, maybe it's the crisp autumn air and the unfortunate fact that a moth ate my three favorite sweaters sometime between now and the last cold snap, or maybe it's the crazy fall deals that abound.

You don't need a new wardrobe (or pay raise) to look stylish this fall--just score these five key pieces to update your look with three easy tips to keep it on the cheap.

A while ago I posted about how you could celebrate Halloween year-round thanks to some scary video games. As the holiday quickly approaches, I thought of a couple more to get into a more macabre state of mind.

Here are three games that will be sure to give you nightmares when you turn the lights off and play alone late into the night.

As the home video gaming phenomenon has grown, so too has the offshoot market of portable video games. Portable video game systems are not new however. They have been around in one form or another since the early '80s. But with the dawn of the iPhone, PDAs and the dominance of the Nintendo DSi, the game has truly changed.

Significant developments have been made over the years in the overall quality, graphical presentation and complexity of the systems available to the public. Many portable games may not be up to the exact level of their console counterparts, but they are becoming pretty close. From adventure games to sports simulations, complex puzzle games to the return of side-scrolling classics, there is a lot of fun being had on trains, planes, and in outdoor areas across the world.

Halloween is a great time to go all out with wild costumes and makeup--but it's not Halloween yet. So why are you wearing a mask? You're not? Well, your clown costume is really cute. Oh, it's not a costume? Um...

Yes, bold is great sometimes. I'm in full support of the over-the-top looks from Dolly Parton, Charo and the cast of Cirque du Soleil, but there's no need to spend so much time and money on an everyday look. If "clown face" IS your everyday look, check out our Halloween deals. If not, here are a few tips for making yourself UNDER, so you have a natural, confident look that won't have strangers offering you mini candy bars.

Sometimes it ain't easy being green, particularly when green items are sometimes marked up from regular priced items just because they're labeled "green." But switching over to more eco-friendly products doesn't have to be a choice between extra chemicals or extra cash.

This week, we take a look at some great green make-up steals that make you both look good and feel good for going green.

AM, FM--these former stalwarts of traditional radio are quickly becoming dinosaurs associated with a past life defined by strict corporate control, static-filled reception, as well as uninspired and repetitive music and talk rotations. The future of radio is satellite and the future is now.

Actually, the future has been here for quite some time. Recently, however, the satellite radio market has truly taken off with consumers and experts alike. No longer do you need to worry about losing your favorite station when you leave town or drive out of broadcast signal range. Satellite reception guarantees that the signal will reach your receiver anywhere across the country.

If you are ready to jump on the satellite radio bandwagon, there are a few things you need to know before making that first key purchase.

The eccentric designs. The stoic models stalking down the runway. The eager celebs in the front row. Anna Wintour. Last week, New York got swept up in its most fabulous tradition: Fashion Week. Spring/Summer 2010 saw some new trends, as well as more of the same. Like a villain in a horror movie, the prevalence of neon colors suggest the 1980s throwback trend simply won't die. Likewise, feminine, cinched waists suggest the MadMen style meme is going to last well into 2010. Over all, it was an impressive week of wearable and flattering designs.

Even Fashion Week wasn't immune to the effects of the recession--many of the styles on the runway were grey, black or neutral. Designers like Marc Jacobs showcased their lower cost lines in New York last week. Throughout 2009, fashion shows, once a paragon of decadence and frivolity (for better or worse) have scaled back, having fewer lavish parties and more pret-a-porter looks.

Although it wasn't as ostentatious as in years past, New York Fashion Week had no shortage of eye popping, drool-worthy styles. I scoured the pictures from fashion week AND hunted for the best deals, so you can look 2010 in 2009 on a dime.

While some travelers simply can't live without their yearly beach vacation, others can't wait for an autumn getaway to the mountains or ski chalet rental in winter! As summer winds down, travel discounts are just getting started. Individuals or families looking to travel this fall have a great array of choice destinations to choose from.

Below are five of the most popular adventures for autumn travelers.
