Neti Pot

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

This fall season has brought on nothing but sinus, colds and headaches for me and my family.  Luckily, my online friends and others were in the “know” and told me about the Neti Pot.  This fabulous little gadget can have you feeling better and much less “stuffed up” in no time.  It really is a “miracle product” I tell you.

It’s also inexpensive and easy to use.  I was a little shocked about how you use the Neti pot itself, but none the less it was a great way to ease the pain and pressue associated with your sinus issues and help you to breath easier.  Plus, it requires no harsh chemicals or medications for those of you who like to use more natural means of healing.

The Neti Pot will have you feeling better in no time.

List Caddy

Sunday, October 19th, 2008

For a mom of three little ones a trip to the grocery store is a bit chaotic whether I take 1 of my kids with me or all three, and the truth is, it’s rare that I go alone.  So, I often need an extra set of hands when I’m perusing the grocery aisles.  Which is why this gadget is perfect for me.  It’s a list caddy, virtually an extra set of hands that holds my grocery list for me.  It not only clips to your grocery basket, but it is also magnetic so that it stores safely on your fridge when you’re not using it in the store and is a perfect place to keep your running grocery list until your next trip.

It also has alternative uses such as holding your recipe card when you’re cooking or using it on your golf cart for your score sheet.  I’m sure there are more ideas that you can come up with as well.  It comes in a variety of colors and personally I think it’d make a great gift.  I’m certainly thinking of buying some for family and friends this Christmas.

Digital Picture Frame

Wednesday, October 15th, 2008

Christmas is just around the corner and I”m sure you’re going to be looking for the perfect gift for loved ones.  No matter who the gift is for there is one option that could be great for almost anyone on your list.  This gift is a digital picture frame.  I was at a party at a friend’s house the other night and noticed this simple wooden picture frame on her counter, but after glancing over at it a few times, I realized the picture in it was changing ever so often.  She later told me actually hers had about 30 different pictures in it but could hold more.  This was a digital picture frame, where she could load in pictures from her digital camera and they would flash at different intervals of time.

It really was neat as pictures of her family, friends and her newest addition, a baby boy, flashed upon the screen.  There were some kids at the party and they sure found it intriguing as well.  So, it could really make a great gift for almost any age.  You could pre-load a bunch of pictures if the gift was for a grandparent or leave it to the person to load themselves, either way it would make a perfect gift.

Mail Minder

Thursday, October 9th, 2008

You love to hear those words coming from your computer’s speakers, “You’ve Got Mail”.  What if you could hear those words when you received mail in your outdoor mailbox as well?  The Mail Minder does just that for you.  It alerts you for when the mail is put into your outdoor mailbox.  If your mailbox is down the road like mine this can be a great thing.  It keeps me from going to check the mail repeatedly only to find it hasn’t come. 

It also features a chime and a light that can remind you if you’re unable to retrieve the mail the moment it comes.  It is fun for kids too as they enjoy hearing it chime and going out to retrieve the mail.

This wireless gadget would make a great gift too, just think about the many people in your life who would love knowing that their mail has arrived, no more wondering, “Has the mail person run today?”

Eco-Friendly Washing Machine

Saturday, September 27th, 2008

washingI am guilty of not using cloth diapers when my children were younger. I wish I did, cloth diapers have become quite sophisticated, making it difficult to tell the difference between cloth and disposable from a distance. If you are one of the smart, eco-friendly Mom’s who use cloth diapers or plan to, this little device might save you some money. This little washing machine is ideal in soaking the diapers until you are ready to wash a load.

This little handy machine can also be used to wash your delicates. It hooks up to a sink and can accommodate up to two pounds of cloth. It comes with three manual settings: wash only, rinse only, or soak. The nice thing is that it is easily portable, so you can travel with this machine. I love the idea of washing my bras and underwear in this little washing machine, in normal size machines I have damaged more delicates then I care to count. And the soaking feature is perfect for cloth diapers, stains, etc.. until you have enough
