Cheap Oil is Black Gold for Shoppers

Fuel_BarrelsLooking for a last-minute stocking stuffer that is out of the ordinary? Why not choose a miniature barrel of crude oil?

Oil prices have plunged and Texas tea is now so cheap that companies are using it to create hundreds of new products, just in time for the peak buying season.

Here are some great ideas for the holiday and beyond.

Holly and oil. In addition to neat stocking stuffers, tiny barrels filled with real crude oil make great Christmas tree decorations. For a little extra you can buy mini-barrels painted in the colors of your favorite oil companies.

Fuel furniture. This amazing line of furniture has taken the market by storm. A full-size barrel of crude oil makes an ideal stand for a Christmas tree or a TV. If you are already looking forward to summer how about an oil barrel patio table with matching half barrels for chairs? Each barrel can be custom painted too.

Summer strike. Continuing the summer theme, imagine a gurgling oil gusher on your lawn! A new line of lawn accessories includes a miniature replica of an oil rig complete with an ever-flowing fountain of crude oil. Water fountains and ponds are nice, but you’ll stand out from the crowd with an oil gusher in your back yard.

Slick cleaning. Throw away all those expensive cleaning fluids and sprays; crude oil is a low-cost cleansing agent that has multiple uses. Apply it to greasy floors, stained tubs, and food-ingrained counter tops and see the difference in seconds!

Petrochemical fragrances. Crude oil evaporates quickly and is a perfect medium for wafting fresh fragrances throughout your house and office. Just two small barrels of pine- or lemon-scented crude oil fills the whole house with a heavenly smell!

Analysts are unsure how long we will continue to enjoy rock-bottom prices for crude oil, so join the shopping boom now!
