Outdoor spring clean up is a bittersweet task. On one hand, it’s good to know that better weather and outdoor fun is just around the corner, but on the other hand, it’s still a lot of hard work to the yard back into ship shape. One thing that can make it a little more tolerable (or even fun?) is the additional of a new tool to the handyman’s arsenal.

The Black & Decker Alligator Lopper is a no-nonsense tool that will help chop, prune, and clear away months of yard debris. Downed branches, small trees, overgrown bushes are all no problem for the Alligator Lopper. It’s the kind of tool guys look for an excuse to use. He might just end up clearing the trees in the whole neighborhood!

As much as you may not want to admit it, your soon to be 21 year old friend/relative will be drinking on their 21st birthday. And as much as you might hope that that means a delicate sampling of this years' vintages from Italy, it probably is more along the lines of these unique shot glasses shaped like a billiards rack. 

We've all been there and survived…somehow…and know much, much better now. Give them something fun to, hopefully, remember their big night with. If you want to encourage responsible drinking a fun cocktail mixing book or a nice wine bottle holder could help guide them to the mature side of the drinking table. Either way, we can't deny that turning 21 is all about the party so give them something fun to commemorate. Cheers!

Spring is here, and with spring comes the wedding gifts season. And as far as wedding planning is concerned, my advice to the groom-to-be is be patient and don’t get in the way. My other piece of advice is don’t wait until the day before the wedding to pick out a nice gift for your groomsmen. These guys have been by your side through the best (and maybe worst) of times, and they’ll be by your side on the big day. Let them know you appreciate them with a little something. 

To make the gift selection process a little easier, think of groomsmen gifts coming in two categories. There’s the traditional groomsmen gift- think classic stylish gifts often monogrammed and there’s more non-traditional gifts- think fun, whimsical but still something tasteful.

A safe and classic call is personalized cuff links. I have a few pairs I’ve picked up as a groomsmen over the years, and when I wear them (which admittedly isn’t too often) it always takes me back to my friend’s big day. 

Good luck fellas!

It seemed like this day would never come, but it's finally the first day of spring. The flowers are blooming, the birds are chirping, well not quite in my apartment building, but in my imaginary backyard I'd be all set for spring with this beautiful porcelain bird feeder. 

It's rounded egg shape is perfect for nesting birds like Wrens and Chickadees, and great for Easter. And it's glaze finish helps to offset extreme hot or cold temperatures, keeping your feathered friends safe. Spruce up a loved one's garden, and let the season begin!

It seems like toys just keep getting crazier, more expensive and more elaborate. Really, what will they think of next? But sometimes it's nice to go back to basics. For example: this adorable Noted Petit Coco Kettle.

This charming French pot comes chockful of seeds and peat pucks (like basil and mint) for planting. Kids can start by growing them in the kettle then, as the plants grow, move them to a larger pot or flower bed and start over with new seedlings. I think it makes a delightful spring Birthday gift, one that will last far longer and is way more educational than some electro gadget.

Noted Petit Coco Kettle starting at $11.99.
