A Twist on Freebie Friday: To Give and To Get

A couple of years ago we received a terrific gift - - a subscription to Netflix.com (thanks Rick, Darice, and Kayla, again!). This service allows you to select from 100,000 titles of movies online, and have them mailed to your home for viewing, or choose from a more limited selection and view them directly online.

I practically feel deserving of a commission from Netflix, given the number of friends I have encouraged to subscribe. While it’s terrific for any age group, it’s also ideal for senior citizens who may be less inclined to make the trip and rent DVDs from the video store. You can choose from a variety of plans starting as low as $4.99 a month, practically the cost of one rental at your local video store.

It is not only a wonderful gift to consider for those on your holiday list, but here's the best part, you can also sample it with a 2 week free trial. What a great way to spend some down time with your family and friends during your upcoming vacation.

You'll be amazed at the variety of choices: documentaries, comedies, and independent films, films you missed in the theater or on TV, foreign films, and romance, sci-fi, you name it. We love the variety and the fact that they are delivered right to our door, especially during the winter months. Pop it back in the mail and the next one will soon be on its way.
