Many of us know the feeling. Especially during the holiday season when the children rise up together to demand the current year's hottest toys and play things. the Nintendo Wii, Cabbage Patch Dolls, Transformers, Zhu Zhu Pets, The litany of in-demand gifts grows every year. Even the adults in our lives want that particular special something that they were made aware of from work place gossip or the latest fashion magazine and that everybody else want's right then too.
Given that's it's a gotta have it, the good news is there's one less gift idea we have to conjure up. It's ready made and waiting to be graciously accepted. Except for one little problem. It's not in stock. And we don't have time to constantly re-check the shelves and inventories of our local purveyors. Or feverishly search for these highly demanded gems online or refresh our internet browsers every two minutes. Besides the impracticality of it, the odds are not really in our favor unless we choose to become all-consumed by our gifting expedition.
At the same time, we know there is no choice in the matter...there will must be done.. We have to look these folks in the eye come that fateful moment of gifting.
Fortunately, we have another friend we can rely on. A faithful servant even. It's our constantly changing companion who's always busily updating to suit our ever present needs. That would be technology. In this case, a convenient little helper that toils in the back ground while we go on about our lives thinking of what must have item we want in turn as a gift.
Our virtual gifting assistant calls itself the AZ-GRABBER. It's a nifty tool that keeps a tab on Amazon "items in stock". Amazon has just about anything and everything and its proven consistently dependable for online shoppers over the years. The store that is Amazon is an efficient way to meet our gift-buying needs.
And AZ-GRABBER works perfectly with Amazon to alert you when an that maniacally in-demand item has come into stock. It really really alerts you with an alarm that sounds like it came off the Queen Mary. Another great feature is that it lets you know when your targeted item is available at retail price, and not at the exorbitant markups 200%, 300%, 500% and more that third party vendors demand for these popular favorites.
It works very simply. Just find the "item number" of the gift you want to monitor on Amazon's site, known as the "ASIN" under "product details". Copy and paste it into the proper AZ-GRABBER field and as soon as it's available, you'll be soundly "alerted" to go grab it before anyone else comes poking around. It's very easy to use but there are video tutorials available if there's any confusion.
You'll be the hero of gifters and looked at with astonished amazement at how you managed to get that.
The magnificent Zhu Zhu Pets Princess Castle
