      <content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p>It's projected that consumer spending will be down - way down - over the holidays. With unemployment up and credit card companies <a href="http://www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,1853129,00.html" target="_blank">decreasing lines of credit</a> it's easy to understand why. There is uncertainty carried on the cool winds of autumn. Winter, many believe, will be crueler than ever. And while there are no bigger cheerleaders for a brighter tomorrow than the folks here at SmartyPig, let's face it. This is not the time for splurging.  </p>
<p>Of course, many, if not most of us will still purchase gifts this holiday season. Obviously, the holidays are a time for putting our troubles aside and focusing on the good things in life. But in these times, why not give a gift that can help give someone you know and love a leg up, a chance for a dream to come true or just a crash course in how to handle money? <a href="https://www.smartypig.com/gift-cards" target="_blank">SmartyPig gift cards</a> help you Give the Gift of Saving. If ever people needed a sound financial tool in their stocking it is now.</p>
<p><img title="SmartyPig gift card" src="http://www.smartypig.com/ImageDisplay.aspx?ImageId=f3999205-9aa7-dd11-b1f6-001a4b338aac&isthumb=N&type=Generic" alt="SmartyPig gift card" width="400" height="457" /></p>
<p>Know someone who needs to get on the right track? Have a family member who is in dire need of a vacation and just needs a nudge to start saving for it? Need to inspire and educate your employees about how to get to the light at the end of the tunnel - and a canned ham just won't do the trick? SmartyPig Gift Cards can be your saving grace. You give. They learn the basics of creating a goal, saving for it and earning interest, as well as a head start -instead of the fruitcake. Now that's a gift that will keep on giving and giving and giving. </p>
