A shopping blog of cool gift ideas

Looking back I fell a wee bit short of my resolutions from last year, go figure. But that’s not going to stop me from making some new ones this year. First, I’m planning on running in the NYC Marathon this year. I’ve had the NYC marathon on the “to-do” list for a while, but 2010 is the year it will happen. I’m sure there will be more running-posts throughout the year, stay tuned. Second, I hereby resolve to cut way down on my bad food consumption- chips and candy I’m talking to you. So far in 2010 I’ve been chip free, do pretzels count?

And lastly, I want to conquer the “Curse of the Guru”. The Curse basically means, while it’s my job to find truly awesome gifts, it paradoxically is sometimes a struggle to avoid a mad scramble to give that great gift to he recipient on time. One great way to avoid this problem is to use Jackcards. Jackcards is a service where you pick out great looking greeting cards online line. You then tell Jackcards when the event is and to whom the card will be going. Jackcards then sends you your cards pre-addressed and stamped so all you have to do is to write a message and pop it in the mail. Thoughtful, tasteful and SIMPLE- with no more scrambling!

Happy New Year everyone!
