Not Your Average NurseryJanuary 30, 2009Posted by: Laura S.
With over 50 artists creating 600 plus artworks, there's no shortage of options to fit your taste and your wallet. Whether it's on the more whimsical side or gender neutral, a great piece of art can transform an ordinary room into your dream nursery minus all the wallpapering and "baby-fying". And the best part is, they donate a portion of their annual sales to kids charities, so you can set the right example for your little one. It's a great gift for that new baby in your life. |
Burn Baby BurnJanuary 30, 2009Posted by: Gillian J.
Each scent is designed to compliment every room in your home or vacation home (if only). My favorite is the Redwood Den Candle with its cedar and huckleberry tones, it evokes a cozy night-in feel. Made of soy-based wax, these 16 oz candles come encased in beautiful blown glass and have a burn time of 70 to 80 hours. I doubt the host will be able to last that long! Check out the rest of Lafco's collection for more domestic scents to warm your home. |

No Brainer Gifts for Your CrushJanuary 29, 2009Posted by: Dan T.
As we all know, the first stage, also known as the “Crush” stage may be the one that’s the most fun- or at least it is until you get to the Boyfriend (or Girlfriend) stage. Valentine’s Day offers a great opportunity to take all that flirting and innuendo to the next phase with a gift that makes intentions a little more out in the open. But at the same time, a gift for a Crush still leaves things light hearted and loose. No need to go too fast at this point! So feed his ego a bit with a fun gift such as the “Chicks Dig You” cereal bowl. He’ll laugh, he’ll like it, and maybe just importantly, he’ll know the ball’s in his court to reciprocate- hopefully in the near future. |
The Gurus Invade the Gift FairJanuary 28, 2009Posted by: Dan T.
Fatboy is in the business of putting a new school spin on the old school bean bag chair. There are Fatboy models for kids right on up to adults. Their contemporary style will look great in rooms of the young and the young at heart. My pick is the Fatboy Junior- the perfect accessory for logging tons of comfy TV and video gaming time. Stay tune for more of the Guru picks this week. |
Gifts for GametimeJanuary 27, 2009Posted by: Dan T.
If you’re a Cards or Steelers fan, the first thing to do is update your gear. The next thing you should know is how your tailgating tools stack up. If you’re hosting a party, you’re going to get a lot of heat if your game day spread isn’t up to snuff. Likewise, if you attending a Super Bowl party, you should really think about bringing a little something for your host. A fun football gift for the hosts is a sure way to get the party call for next year. BTW: Gift Guru prediction for the big game? I like the Cards in a good old-fashioned upset. |

He’s the perfect man. Cheer up your single gal pal or yourself with this MUST HAVE Valentine’s Day accessory. |

CES 2009: HD RadioJanuary 22, 2009Posted by: Dan T.
A great feature on some iPod docking HD Radio receivers is “iTunes Tagging”. If you hear a song you like on HD Radio, press the “Tag” button on the HD receiver and the song information will be uploaded to your iPod when docked. Then, the next time the iPod is synched with iTunes, the song(s) will show in a “Tagged” play list for easy purchase in the iTunes store. |
The Lowdown on Guy GiftsJanuary 22, 2009Posted by: Dan T.
First is easy- shop now. Take the hassle of scrambling around to find him a gift at the last minute out of the equation by shopping now for that thoughtful gift. Then, you can subtly let him know you got him a great gift putting the pressure ON HIM (sorry guys) to come up big for you February 14th. Second Guru tip- If you’re in doubt about a Valentine’s Gift, think about the stage of the relationship your in (like the “Crush”, “Puppy Love” etc.). For example, a gift for the “Together 4 Ever” relationship is all about getting something thoughtful (not necessarily expensive!) that reflects his personal style or interests, if it happens to lean towards the romantic side, you’ll get some extra points. Some ideas for the “Together 4 Ever” stage I like are a new fragrance you love (and think he’d like too) or a sampling of his favorite food or beverage. All it takes is just a little something to remind him no one in the world knows and loves him more than you! Anthony Logistics for Men Grab + Go Portables starting at $35.00. |
