How To Give Gifts to Unemployed Friends

Apr 092009
 
Help Your Unemployed Friends

More and more people are getting laid off every day. Just about everybody either knows someone who’s lost their job or has been laid off themselves. Being unemployed can be a stressful time– so why not help your loved ones through this difficult period with a supportive gift? Here are a few gifts your unemployed friend may appreciate.

The Couponizer

Saving money becomes even more important when you’ve lost your source of income. Help your friend cut costs by taking up couponing. The Couponizer makes it fun and organized by giving you pockets for sorting, surfaces for stacking and tips for getting the most bang for your buck.

A Fun Book

Everyone needs some entertainment– especially when you’ve lost your job. Pick your unemployed friend up a copy of Bitter is the New Black by Jen Lancaster. It’s the confession of a condescending, egomaniacal, self-centered smart-ass or why you should never carry a Prada bag to the unemployment office.

Gift Certificates

Gift certificates can be a great way to give someone a little money without handing them plain old cash. Pick up a gift card for a restaurant, movie theater or store that your friend likes. They’ll appreciate the opportunity to spend money on something they may not normally be able to fit into the budget.

T-Shirt Graffiti Markers

Give your friend a creative outlet– or a chance to put their resume on a t-shirt. The t-shirt graffiti markers are just $12 at Urban Outfitters and could be worth hours of fun.

Slip into THIS!

Apr 072009
 

My wife has been trying to get me to wear slippers for the last 20+ years with little success. I’m not entirely sure men were made to put on this earth to wear slippers. I’m thinking that going “barefoot” is really what being a man is all about.

Old Friend Loafer Mocassins

Old Friend Loafer Mocassins

Unfortunately, going barefoot also means tracking your dirty feet into bed with you, and if there’s one thing my wife won’t tolerate it’s dirty feet in bed. So, who was I to complain when she stuck a pair of Old Friend® Loafer Mocassins in my hands and muttered “My way or the highway.”

Actually the couch is a lot closer than the highway – and that’s usually where I sleep when I get kicked out of bed for having dirty feet.

So who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks?
Maybe the timing was right. Or maybe I was just tired of sleeping alone. But my Old Friend® Loafer Mocassins weren’t just comfortable, heck .

I felt like my feet were getting seduced. And I can’t think of the last time THAT’s happened.

IN case you didn’t know, the moccasin has long been considered as one of the most comfortable shoes, but the Old Friend Loafer Moccasin takes that notion of comfort and improves upon it. A 100% sheepskin insole surrounds feet with warmth and softness while the raised toe area provides feet plenty of “wiggle room” for your toes. A cinch tie keeps the Loafer Moccasin firmly on your foot while the rubber sole keeps your foot firmly on the floor.

Makes perfect sense: foot-in-slipper…slipper-on-floor. My feet are happy…my wife is happy…and I’m happy. What was I thinking all this time?

Allow me to wax philosophic about the entire Old Friend Slipper line of footwear: These are not you father’s slippers. Old Friend was also among the first company’s to offer a 100% sheepskin insole instead of the cheaper processed wool like you find in a lot of other slippers.

Old Friend slippers are created using…well…I’m not exactly sure how they do what they do. What I do know is that their slipper-making process produces an almost silk-like feel to their sheepskin, which not only makes their slippers stand apart from the competition but will make you feel like a million bucks in small change.

And feeling good my friend is what life is all about.

The Old Friend® Loafer Mocassins. Walking around barefoot never felt this good.

How to Fill an Easter Basket with Earth-Friendly Gifts

Apr 072009
 

The Easter bunny will be hopping into homes soon. Why not make sure your little one’s Easter basket is Earth-friendly as well as kid-friendly? Here are few ways to help your Easter basket go green.

Make Your Easter Basket Green

Start With the Basket

Going green this Easter can start with the basket that will hold it all. This Bolga basket is made by artists in a small villiage in Northern Ghana. This fair-trade basket is made from natural grasses by people who have been making them for decades. Pick one up for just $15.95.

Forget the Plastic Grass

Rather than picking up a cheap bag of plastic grass, why not try something a little more Earth-friendly? Try green yarn, strips of recycled paper or 100% biodegradable grass like this one for $2.29 a bag.

Chocolate Can Be Green

Chocolate is usually brown, but it can be green, too. Try these cute organic and fair-trade chocolate bunny twins ; they are just $5.18 at the NaturalCandyStore.com. Throw in some organic jelly beans and vegan gummy bears.

Try Wooden Toys

Wooden toys are a good option when trying to go green. This egg shaker is hand crafted and is colored in natural vegetable dyes. These are sold for $8 at TheLittleSeed.com and are made by artisans in India.

Include a Book

Books made with recycled paper are another great addition to any Earth-friendly Easter basket. Barnes and Noble sells several titles your little bunny will love including this one called In the Garden.
