  <body>&lt;p&gt;Two exciting new features are now online, I wanted to take a brief moment to alert all to their existence, and how they might be useful to you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Gift Guides&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With the holiday season now here, the perenially challenging question is once again upon us:&amp;nbsp; what do I&amp;nbsp;get for Joe Bob when all I know is that he likes the outdoors?&amp;nbsp; What are some quirky gifts for grandma?&amp;nbsp; What is cool for under $10?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bonanzle.com/gift_guides&quot;&gt;Gift guides&lt;/a&gt; allow our community to answer these difficult questions for you.&amp;nbsp; Browse by personality type, price level, and a smattering of other classifications.&amp;nbsp; As it continues to get used, I&amp;nbsp;suspect that gift guides will become the most efficient way to shop when you have a particular occasion coming up.&amp;nbsp; After the guides get built out over the next few days, we'll be adding a link to them directly from the home page, so this will be a high exposure affair.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you're a seller, a list builder, or a person that just likes browsing, why not consider making a gift guide yourself?&amp;nbsp; It's as easy as creating any other hand picked list (My Bonanzle -&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;Buying Activity -&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;Hand picked items).&amp;nbsp; The only difference is that when you are setting up your hand picked list, you choose the gift guide category (or categories)&amp;nbsp;that your list fits into.&amp;nbsp; Once your list has enough items, it will be automatically added to our index of gift guides.&amp;nbsp; Sales and fame  ensue.&amp;nbsp; Why not give it a shot?&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bonanzle.com/gift_guides/Geek?ref=303&quot;&gt;I&amp;nbsp;did&lt;/a&gt;!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Price Markdowns&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Price markdowns are a new promotional tool available for our &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bonanzle.com/memberships&quot;&gt;premiere members&lt;/a&gt; that are described &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bonanzle.com/site_help/booths_setup/markdowns?layout=&amp;amp;title=markdown+manager&quot;&gt;in detail here&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; The gist is that you can setup sales that last for longer than the three hours a Bonanza affords -- in total you can have sales lasting up to seven days per month.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; While your items are on sale, buyers will be able to see that they are getting a special deal by the price being visibly reduced:&amp;nbsp; from your booth, when looking at the item, and even from on-site search results.&lt;/p&gt;
