Amherst, MA, November 26, 2008 --(PR.com)-- With the economic meltdown, consumers are spending less and less, and making more & more trips to WalMart (or other big box stores) in an attempt to stretch every holiday-gift-dollar. In response to this trend ODT maps of Amherst MA, a publisher of innovative and thought-provoking maps, is offering 22 map items for $15 or less. The theme of this holiday outreach is “Stretch your dollars… stretch your mind.” Price reductions range from 20% - 80% as ODT makes new world views affordable for everyone's gift list.

Odin Wortman, ODT’s web-designer in Maryland, says, “I’m a father and I’m often surprised by how interested my teenagers are in world events. Anything that helps to stimulate a broader world view comes up high on my shopping list.” Learn geography, country shapes, currencies, and world flags with a SNAP deck of 52 cards for only $5. Self-Esteem Passports are another favorite stocking-stuffer for only $6.95. And $25 laminated Population maps have some creases and are selling for 80% off – only $5, while the supply lasts (note these $5 maps are huge at 35” x 52” and will definitely not be able to fit into a stocking). The whole list is at http://odtmaps.com/cheap-gift-ideas.asp . Whether you want a traditional map (like a Mercator) or an innovative map (like the Peters or Hobo-Dyer) you can find just about everything a globally-curious person might want for the holidays. Included in this sale are four different mind-stretching maps with South at the top – how’s that for a new point of view. There’s even a Butterfly world map created by a self-taught nuclear theoretician. The sale also features stickers, magnets, inflatable globes, Peters Atlases and Handbooks, DVDs, and a music CD about geography recorded by a team of synthesized robots. All items on the sale page http://odtmaps.com/cheap-gift-ideas.asp are $15 or less.
