Wish Lists Beat Out Gift Cards This Holiday Season

PASADENA, Calif., Nov. 17, 2011 — It happens every year. You received a gift and you know it's going to be bad. Although the snowmen on the wrapping paper are smiling, there is no holiday joy in this occasion. You are getting another tie for Christmas. But, how can that be avoided this year?

Wish Lists vs. Gift Cards

Gift cards appear to be the obvious answer, but there is still an element of chance that could leave you with a gift card from a store you've never heard of or an amount that is too small to get what you wanted.

The real solution is wish lists. Like a wedding registry, wish lists are created by adding specific products to the user's account for the gift givers to view. Wish lists are the best option for holiday gift buying because they allow the gift giver to see precisely what the gift receiver wants to receive.

Wish Lists also reduce miscommunication between the gift giver and the gift receiver. So, someone on your list wants a drill. Is it an 18v or 12v? Is it a hammer or a compact driver? Is it a 3/8 or 1/2 chuck? And, do you even know the brand? With a wish list, all those questions can be avoided.

Maximize Your Wish List with Reconditioned Tools

What's better than getting everything you want this holiday season? Getting more of it! The best way to maximize your wish list is with reconditioned tools. Buying reconditioned tools means getting a like-new quality tool at a 20-30% savings, which means more tools for the same price. One of our customers told us, "My sister wanted a nail gun and a compressor for Christmas. I couldn't afford that. Then I discovered Reconditioned Tools. I was able to buy her both tools, and they looked like new."

Some shoppers hesitate to purchase a reconditioned tool as a gift because they are worried that the tool may be defective. Our reconditioned tools are inspected and restored by factory-trained technicians and backed by a full manufacturer's warranty. "We wouldn't be one of the most highly recommended sites on the Web for reconditioned tools if that were so. D.I.Y. forums are frequently referring their members to our site for the largest selection of tools in the best condition," states Rob Tolleson, CEO of CPO Commerce, the company that operates ReconditionedTools.com.

Dreading another ugly tie? Take action. Create your wish list on ReconditionedTools.com and get what you really want this year, without breaking the piggy bank.
