DealDash Bidding to Donate

Shopping and bidding on DealDash is perfect for Christmas toys, but once you have won toys for all of your friends and family members, why not win some toys to donate?

DealDash is here to help you figure out how you can be a great person by donating to the less fortunate, but being a savvy shopper as well. With DealDash you don’t have to choose being kind or saving up your money, DealDash can help you get some wonderful things to donate but help you stay frugal as well.

Christmas is a wonderful and fun time for everyone, especially children. Unfortunately there are many families out there that are having trouble paying their bills and don’t have any extra money set aside to get their children presents. By saving money and bidding and winning your own family’s gifts on DealDash you can use the extra savings and turn it into a few toys for the less fortunate children in your town.

If you’re wondering where you should donate your toys, there are many places that distribute toys to children during the holidays. If you’d like to select a child or a family yourself instead of just dropping toys off, you can pick a child or family off the “Angel Tree”. They always have these trees at the mall, and sometimes at other stores, and sometimes the angel trees are available at churches as well. If you would like to drop toys off, there are many Toys For Tots donation drop offs. You can look them up online, and if you drop the toys off, you don’t even have to wrap them! If you would like to donate to older children or teens who aren’t interested in toys, you can always buy clothing or toiletries and give them to your local DSS/DCFS/Social Services offices so that they can distribute them to the kids and teens that are in foster care.

DealDash has not only toys for children, but also some clothing and beauty items that would be great for young adults or teens. Remember, just because a 17-year-old isn’t a cute little kid anymore, they would still love something to unwrap on Christmas.

As with all auctions on DealDash, if you don’t happen to win these items when you bid on them, then you can always BIN (Buy It Now) for the retail price, get all of your bids back to use again, get free shipping, AND get to keep of the clock time that you earned as being the highest bidder.

I hope that you have found this article helpful for thinking of ways that you can donate and become a hero for a less fortunate child. Thank you for reading! Go check out DealDash at this link right here. Good Luck and Happy Bidding everyone!

Who Has a Sports Fan at Home?

DealDash has lots of great presents for the sports lover in your life. Here are some gift suggestions that you can use.

Do you know a sports lover? Do you have a child in soccer, a grandchild that loves basketball, or maybe a husband who just can’t get enough football? If you’re struggling to find them the perfect gift this year DealDash can help.When you get someone in your family sports equipment for a Christmas gift it’s like getting the whole family a gift, since most sports equipment is more fun when used by more than one person. Here are some gift suggestions from DealDash.

Luckily for you, DealDash has so many different sports equipment auctions. No matter if your sports fans enjoy tennis, swimming, trampoline-jumping, or all of the above, DealDash has the auction for you!

If your favorite sports fan loves basketball, DealDash has you covered! DealDash has both Indoor basketball hoops and outdoor basketball hoops as well. Basketball is a great family activity, because you can have as many or few players as you like. Basketball provides a great workout and is really fun, too. One of the things that I like best about having a basketball hoop at home is the kids can run around like crazy while playing basketball, or the whole family can play “Horse” together and it requires no running – which is a definite perk for me!

Maybe your sports fan is more into baseball. Well, no problem there, DealDash has many baseball-related auctions available for bidding. DealDash has collectible baseball bats, collectible baseballs, baseball hats and gloves, and even this baseball training system that is pictured below.

SKLZ Hit-A-Way Portable Training System

If your sports fan is more into solo sports, DealDash also has swimming pools, weights, and bicycles up for bid. No matter what sport you are looking for, DealDash has an auction to accommodate your needs.

If you’re interested in indoor or outdoor basketball hoops, bikes for the family, baseball equipment, or other sports equipment be sure to visit DealDash. DealDash also carries sporting goods store gift cards. If you’re interested in bidding on anything sporty, check out the Hobbies, Toys, Outdoors, and Games section on DealDash. Good luck and happy bidding everyone!

Video Games on DealDash for Christmas

If you’re wondering what to get your child, teen, or other relative – video games! DealDash has many to choose from…

When you’re looking to purchase (or win!) video games as a gift for someone, the main thing that you have to figure out is what system that they use to play games. Do they use an Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS4, PS3, Wii, a gaming computer, or something else? There are few things more disappointing to a child than to get a really awesome video game, and not be able to play it due to owning a different game system.

The good new, though, is that if they have an Xbox One they are backwards compatible, meaning that if someone already has an Xbox membership, and either digital or disc based games they are in luck, because they will work with the Xbox One.

However, there is nothing to be done if you get them an Xbox game and they have a Playstation, instead. So it’s very important that you get them the correct brand of video game.

Now that you know the most important part, the next step is to find out what types of games they like. There are many different genres of games such as:

Action
Shooter
Simulation
RPG
Strategy
Tower defense
Sports
Trivia
Many, many others

Once you have determined the game system, and the preferred genre of game, then all that’s left to do is choose a game! I have had some luck with getting family members the newest releases in their favorite genre, but if you are dealing with a hardcore gamer, then they might have pre-ordered theirs already. In this case, the smartest thing to do would be to get them a gift card for the game store, or for the Xbox or Playstation digital store.

If you are thinking of getting someone video games for Christmas, why don’t you head on over to DealDash and see what auctions are currently running? There are almost always video game auctions running, of different game platforms and genres. There are also game accessories available. There are also game store gift cards up for auction. Now get out there and find some great auctions! Good luck and happy bidding everyone!

DealDash Toys for Christmas

Shopping and bidding on DealDash is perfect for Christmas toys. Here are some items for the upcoming holidays.

DealDash is here to help you with your Christmas shopping. Later on this month we will talk about some great things that you can win for the adults in your lives, but since Christmas is the favorite holiday of most children, here is a DealDash gift-giving guide for your favorite tiny people.

Playskool Sesame Street Play All Day Elmo

Kids age zero to about 8 love stuffed animals. DealDash has you covered if you are searching for the perfect stuffed animal for a child. They have the perfect stuffed animals for babies and toddlers – they are an animal head attached to a tiny blanket about the size of a washcloth. They are perfect for the baby to cuddle, they are easy to hold, and the baby can even chew on them when they are teething. For preschool age DealDash has the Elmo stuffed animal as shown in the picture above. Preschool kids love Elmo! And for older kids that are in elementary school, they have the Cuddle Pillows that are in the shape of their favorite TV characters. If you’re going to give a child a stuffed animal for Christmas this year, be sure to check DealDash first!

DealDash has begun to offer educational and craft toys made by ALEX for children. These educational and craft kits are fun, great for elementary school-aged children, and can even be a gift given to a family for the children to share among siblings. If you are a little short on cash and have multiple children in the same household to give a gift to this Christmas, an ALEX kit might be the way to go! You can save money by giving a single gift to a sibling group, they can enjoy it together, and their parents will be happy that there is only 1 extra toy in the house instead of multiple.

As with all auctions on DealDash, if you don’t happen to win these toys when you bid on them, then you can always BIN (Buy It Now) for the retail price, get all of your bids back to use again, get free shipping, AND get to keep of of the clock time that you earned as being the highest bidder.

If you would like to get either of these items for the upcoming Christmas season, just search for them on DealDash, then set an alert. Setting an alert is simple. Just search for your toy, click on the item, and look on the right side of the screen. There will be a blue button that says “Alert Me”. Click on the button, and when the item is coming up for auction DealDash will send you an email. It’s the only way to never miss out on an auction for a product that you really want.

Happy Halloween 2016 from DealDash!

Happy Halloween! Here’s to a safe and fun Halloween for everyone.

Halloween is a time for scary fun, and great seasonal treats as well. Halloween perfectly embodies the spirit of the crisp and chilly fall season. The earliest traces of the origin of Halloween are found with the Celtic festival, Samhain, which was the Celtic New Year. Samhain, of course, has very little to do with today’s Halloween festivities, though.

Gemmy Halloween Airblown Pumpkins Stack on Each Other

If you’re wondering why we carve pumpkins on Halloween, carving a “Jack-o’-lantern” originated with the Irish immigrants (Hi Grandma and Grandpa!) brought the tradition to America, where pumpkins were plentiful and far easier to carve than the original large turnips and potatoes that were used in Ireland. The story about the Jack-o’-lantern comes from an Irish folktale about a man named Stingy Jack. The story is much too scary to tell here on this family blog – but suffice to say that carving a Jack-o’-lantern is a perfect thing to do to get into a spooky frame of mind.

Interestingly enough, Halloween is the second most commercially successful holiday here in the USA – trailing after Christmas, of course. You might wonder what all of that money is going towards. Candy is a huge part of it, of course, Americans buy about 600 million pounds of candy each year for Halloween. Also going towards the tally are costumes, pumpkins, party supplies, and decorations. About 50% of households in the US decorate for Halloween, which makes things so much more fun for the trick-or-treaters.

If you didn’t decorate your house for Halloween this year, consider decorating next year. DealDash can help – throughout the year DealDash offers a selection of Halloween decorations, including large inflatable lawn decorations that are usually very expensive. You can get an awesome deal if you win one! And if you don’t win, you can always BIN (Buy It Now) and receive all of your bids back to try again on another auction, as well as getting free shipping. Now that’s a ghoul of a deal! Just click this link here to visit DealDash. Good luck and happy bidding everyone!
