GIFT CARDS * BEST & WORST ONES


More and more people are turning to gift cards as their holiday gift of choice, and that definitely pleases shops: Consumer Reports estimates that a quarter of all gift cards go unredeemed for a year after purchase, and about 7 percent never get used at all.

If you do decide to give a gift card, know that some are better than others. Script Smart tracks gift card data, and gives tips on the best and worst to choose -- based on hidden fees, redemption policies, and replacement of lost or stolen gift cards.

Read more @ MSNBC.

Best:

* Bass Pro Shops
* American Eagle Outfitters
* Gap (along with units Banana Republic, Piperlime and Old Navy)
* Disney

Worst:

* Rite Aid
* Simon Malls
* American Apparel

NAME THAT ICE SCRAPER SONG


Nothing like a good ole' fashioned ICE SCRAPER to get into some trouble with. And this is what inspired our latest game in the Melissa & Bob Game Zone: Name That Ice Scraper Song!

Melissa scraped a melody with her ice scraper along the ice -- now you just have to guess which song it is. AND THEN YOU WIN!!
