Down Comforter Duvet for down home comfort in the sack
During the summer, I love keeping things chill, except in the bedroom. Whether it’s winter, spring, summer or fall, I still love to cuddle up under a comfy and cozy down comforter, even if it means I have to crank the AC down to a cool 65.
Now I can get down all summer long without having to pay a fortune to Florida Power & Light thanks to my new Light Warmth Down Comforter Duvet from The Company Store.
It’s like sleeping on the beach, minus the sand in your pajamas.

iPad Case – House your iPad in style in a sleek leather case
I told myself I wasn’t going to buy an iPad.
I usually refrain from the practice of standing in line for hours and paying hundreds of dollars for the next great device. I still don’t have an iPhone and have heard one too many jokes comparing iPads to feminine hygiene products.
So I told myself, I’m not buying an iPad. Period.
But if I were to buy an iPad (not saying that I am), I would surely accessorize it with this sleek leather iPad Tablet Case from Fossil.
It provides maximum protection against spills.

Pet portraits from photos - Turn a photo of your pet into a custom portrait
Something I’ve noticed recently amongst dog owners is that every pup parent thinks their dog is the cutest dog at the dog park.
Whether they own a doberman with a drooling problem, a mastiff with a massive underbite or a pug with a rather fugly face, they firmly believe that their precious canine is the most adorable mutt ever to tinkle on a fire hydrant.
Now you can celebrate and immortalize that face that only a pet owner could love. Treat yourself and man’s best friend to a piece of custom artwork that captures your dog’s likeness to a t (as in terrier) with Luna Toons Custom Pet Portraits from In the Company of Dogs.
Best of all, your pooch doesn’t even need to pose, sit, stay or heel for this pawtrait.

Personalized name art - Frame Your Name with personalized art frames
What’s in a name?
As Shakespeare’s ill-fated heroine Juliet declared,
“That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet.”
I doth agree Miss Capulet, but artwork personalized with that which we call your name is even sweeter.
Frame Your Name with Personalized Name Art from Frames by Mail for a gift that has their name written all over it.

Mini air purifier – Mini sized purifiers that kill germs and odors in the air
I’m very particular about the air I breathe.
I don’t like people in my face, breathing over my shoulder, coughing near my cubicle and I despise close talkers. It’s even worse when I fly. Whether I’m sitting in the aisle, the center or the window seat, I always get stuck in close proximity to a child with enough snot running down their face to infect everyone flying first class… and the first six rows of coach.
I love to travel, but they won’t even let me bring a full bottle of hand sanitizer onto the plane these days, so what’s an airborne gal to do? Invest in a Mini Air Purifier from TravelSmith.
It makes flying the friendly skies so much friendlier.

Craft blocks – KraftyBlok glass blocks for endless crafting possibilities
I’m crafty.
Allow me to clarify. I am not by any stretch of the imagination considered a deceitful, underhanded, cunning or sly person. I am crafty in the literal arts and crafts sense of the word. I paint, I Photoshop, I stencil, I sew, I quilt. If you can think it, I can craft it.
I didn’t score my Creative Director title for being anti-crafty.
I’ve been working diligently on my granddaughter’s quilt that will be completed any day now, so I’ll need a new crafting project to keep my idle hands busy. Thankfully, I just found a new crafting wonder that will keep me occupied for hours on end – the KraftyBlok craft block from Delphi Glass.

Unique mom gift – Give your mom a beary unique gift this Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day is just around the corner and I’m wondering what gifts my kids have in store for me this year.
Last year my daughter surprised me with breakfast in bed.
That porridge was too hot.
That very same year my son gave me cash.
That $5 bill was too cold.
This year, I want them to surprise me with a gift that is just right…
Something that lets me know what a beary special Mom I am, like this Unique Mom Gift from Bears in Chairs, Gifts You Design!
Now that would deserve a bear hug.

Beef short rib meal – Gourmet beef short ribs for two
The closest I’ve ever come to preparing an impromtu meal is microwaving a Healthy Choice dinner I accidentally found in the freezer at work.
When it comes to cooking, I can’t just throw things together. I have to make a list, shop, check the nutritional content and prep, all of this before I even pre-heat the oven. As a busy working mom, who has the time?
It was a rainy Friday night when my husband and I decided to consume our recent gourmet indulgence, a succulent Beef Short Ribs Meal that we ordered from Impromptu Gourmet.
It made that stolen Healthy Choice dinner taste like chopped liver.

Chi ceramic flat iron – Flat iron with Chi ceramic heat makes your hair sing
I’m having a bad case of the weepies and for the life of me, I can’t figure out why.
I’m healthy.
I’m employed.
Today is hump day, so I’m more than half way through the work week…
What on earth is making me feel the same level of anguish I endured when my pet hamster accidentally died while doing laps on my record player?
Hold the phone. I got it. I’m having a bad hair day.
It’s been scientifically proven that having a bad hair day can increase depression levels in women by 57.5%. I’m pretty sure I read that somewhere.
My hair is frizzy, dry and overall, one melancholic mess. Rather than have my shrink fax over a prescription for Prozac, I’m getting to the root of the problem. This CHI Ceramic Flat Iron from Folica.com will help me get my head on straight for only good hair days ahead.

Secret safe keeps your super secret valuables perfectly safe
Every time my cell phone rings, the same thought always comes to mind…
This is going to cost me money.
You see, everyone is on my bank roll. My daughter, my landlord, the IRS… even my neighbors want me to cough up a few thousand dollars to pay the vet bill for our community mascot cat who got into a bloody rough and tumble with a rabid raccoon.
I’m through paying you people off, so instead of hiding my money under the mattress (my daughter looks for it there), I’m hiding it in my beer can.
Yesiree Bob, this Beer Can Secret Safe from Self Defense Devices will ensure that I keep my fortune and continue living the Miller High Life.

Car care kits for the perfect car wax every time
I’m the first to admit it. When it comes to my car, I have the tendency to get a little geeky with it. It has to be clean, it has to be shiny and don’t even think about eating an ice cream cone all up in here.
I’ve finally found a shop that embraces me for who I am in all of my car geeky glory. I have found a new friend and auto confidante in Autogeek, which is where I scored my new Wolfgang Deep Gloss Car Care Kit. It’s changed my life, and enhanced my relationship with my car.
We’ve never been closer.

Inflatable Movie Screens – Watch movies outdoors on an inflatable screen
I consider myself a great outdoorsman. I enjoy fishing, sailing and taking leisurely dips in my pool. I also enjoy watching television, but I don’t feel very outdoorsy while watching the boob tube from my couch.
Now I can maximize my love for being outdoors and still get in a healthy dose of entertainment with one of these ginormous Inflatable Movie Screens from the Improvements Catalog.
Forget about Drive-ins, welcome to my Swim-in.
