-Cap and gown. Many community colleges and universities offer e-courses. You never need to step foot on campus to earn degrees in finance, English, accounting, or whatever else suit your fancy.

-Steals and deals. If you're looking for some of biggest discounts and best selection for anything from electronics to groceries, books to automobiles, Web is your marketplace.

-Cash flow. The Internet can work for you, as well, if you are on other end of cash register. The Web provides an unparalleled avenue to sell goods. It can link you to interested buyers if you're only looking to unload a few knickknacks to unclutter your home. If you have enough stuff to open a garage sale, you can do that, too, without time or space constraints. Or try your hand at a full-time online business if you get bit by entrepreneurial bug.

The Internet can open up outside world to you for all of these benefits, but you need right set of keys to open door. Your first "key" is type of Internet access you use. You'll need to weigh your budget versus how fast you want to navigate on Web. Cable and DSL hook ups provide zippy access but can cut into your profit margins. Dial up, on other, can be cheap or even free, but can slow down your productivity.

Look for certified schools to take courses at and secure shopping zones to purchase at. When selling or starting your own business, do your research to find most trusted and thrifty auction and classified sites. The right classified sites can be like your neighborhood paper, except they reach millions of people around globe. In many cases, best classified sites will also charge no start up or transaction fees and offer safe ways to communicate and do business with clients.

In time it takes your child to take a nap or watch an episode of Blues Clues, you will be able to earn 4 more credits to your finance degree, buy a new mp3 player, and sell a closet's worth of stuff.

Now i will let you into my perfect baby gift. I normally get a personalised gift, a wooden picture frame which inside i have a thick piece of white card which i have written following poem on:

Sometimes I might upset you Just because I'm small By leaving fingerprints of mine~ On a table, chair, or wall.

But everyday I grow a bit And I'll be big one day When all my tiny fingerprints Have long been cleaned away.

So keep these prints of my hands, To help you recall Just how big my fingers were That time when I was small

Once you have written this leave a little room for some baby hand prints whic parents can print later. Then buy some baby paints Blue, yellow, red & rreen work well. This means you have given them all they need to finish present.
