Amazon Black Friday Christmas Sales and Hottest Christmas Toys for 2010

Amazon’s week of Black Friday sales is going on right now, (right now!) with an entire week of Black Friday sales and discounted prices on lots of great xmas gift ideas for kids, teens and adults. While browsing around on Amazon.com to add or edit our Amazon wish list and buy Christmas gifts and toys for the kids on our list, I stumbled across Amazon’s Black Friday deals page.

I am not one to get up before the crack of dawn, one day after Thanksgiving, to go stand in long lines with Black Friday shoppers looking for the best deals in all our favorite stores.

Sarah Palin Calendar & Blokus Board Game #1 Amazon Best Gift

Sarah Palin CalendarAmazon.com announced on Friday that the Sarah Palin Calendar 2009 is currently the top selling item on Amazon’s list of “Office Products and Supplies”. Alaska Governor Sarah Palin may not have made it to the White House, but she is a leader on Amazon’s best-seller list for holiday sales in 2008, saying the 2008 holiday season was its “best ever” with more than 6.3 million items ordered.

The 13-month Palin calendar contains 50 photos of Palin and her family, including some “never before seen photos” taken by long time Wasilla resident and photographer friend-of-Sarah Judy Patrick.

Blokus Board GameOther holiday bestsellers on Amazon included the Nintendo Wii, Samsung 52-Inch LCD HDTV, the Apple iPod Touch and the Blokus board game. Amazon did a great job as usual offering deals and driving customers to its site, adding that “the best possible prices” were frequently on Amazon.com.

More consumers appear to have done their Christmas shopping online, especially during the last two weeks of the season when storms snowed many shoppers inside their homes.

Black Friday 2 has brought an onslaught of shoppers looking for the best deals online and offline. Day after Christmas online sales have retailers and outlets hoping to reap at least some of Amazon’s shopping appeal as the 2008 holiday season comes to a close.
