Hertz and Nickelodeon are teaming up to provide children with an enjoyable entertainment option, while traveling in a rental car. (This move should significantly decrease the number of times frazzled parents hear the phrase ‘are we there yet’, during a long road trip.)
The device consists of a touch screen player that can actually be used inside or outside, of the vehicle. ‘Nick on the Go’, as it is called costs anywhere from $15-$20 per day. It is loaded with 40 hours of Nickelodeon programming, suitable for children of all ages.
Shows include: Dora the Explorer, SpongeBob SquarePants, Zoey101, Drake & Josh and The Last Airbender.
Players can be reserved online, as part of the rental process. It is located in the same section as the booster seats and the Sirius radios.
Don’t know how to dispose of all the things that you no longer use in your home? Put up a garage sale and sell them! The great thing about this is that you do not only reduce the clutter at your home, you also get money from it. As they say, one person’s trash is another’s gold.
But if it is your first time putting up a garage sale, we’ve come up with a list of tips that will help you get started.
- Make sure your prices are reasonable. Prices of used items vary according to a number of factors such as their condition and their value. You can check out similar items on websites such as eBay and Amazon so you can have a rough idea of how much the particular items are sold.
- Inform your neighbors about it. They are your primary customers so be sure to inform them beforehand about this. Give fliers around the neighborhood or call each of your neighbours; whatever way you choose to promote your garage sale, it’s up to you
- Make use of the internet. The great thing about the internet is that you can sell your products even to people who are far from where you live. Again, websites like eBay and Amazon can be helpful in this aspect. The buyers are usually the ones who pay for the shipping, so you don’t need to worry about a lot of things. The websites have reasonable transaction fees which is why you shouldn’t be deterred from trying this option out.
- Check your local laws that may apply to garage sales since there are cities that require permits and fees from people doing it. This will also help you avoid any potential problem with your local government.
