Christmas gift ideas

Stuck for an idea and running out of time? Saw the Fisher-Price Smart Cycle on the Gadget Show the other day and thought it would make a great present for a child. A way to have fun and give them some exercise at the same time! Available in US and UK. More gift ideas coming soon!

Property boom indicators

Related to my mention of new developments near where I live, I found this bbc online article which suggests that the following are signs of an "on the up" area.

• Ethnic Cuisine
• Thicker telephone directories
• Crowded public transport
• Better school results
• Neighbourhood watch schemes
• More burglar alarms
• More skips and scaffolding
• Graffiti disappearing
• Planning notices appear
• More traffic wardens

If someone could somehow gather all this information, quantify it and create a google maps mashup, I think it'd be a winner!

Rent out your parking space

Finding a parking space near your train station or place of work is difficult to start with, finding a cheap one is nigh on impossible. So, someone made ParkatmyHouse.com. Seems like a great idea. They take 10% of the rent, but that seems reasonable!

More Entrepreneurial ideas

In addition to the ideas I've described the last couple of days, here are a few more free entrepreneurial ideas. Coincidentally, the current series of Dragon's Den ended today but if you're interested, there's a sort of online version called Running the Gauntlet.
