Jun 052010

Check out this deal on a product recently featured on ABC’s prime time reality TV show Shark Tank as well as the June/July Grilling Issue of Everyday with Rachael Ray:Grill Charms™! It makes the perfect Father’s Day Gift for the dad who likes to BBQ!

Grill Charms™ offer an entirely new concept in outdoor entertaining. Grill Charms™ are dime-sized solid stainless steel charms that are placed in food BEFORE grilling. The serrated stem holds the charm in securely while flipping, moving and grilling food like the “Grill Guy” normally does. Grill Charm™ food prior to cooking to distinguish spices and flavors, steak temperatures, or to avoid health or allergy issues. They stay in before, during and after grilling so when dinner comes to the table, simply look for your Grill Charm, and everyone knows which one is theirs.

GRILL CHARMS™ COLLECTIONS

There are four “hot” collections to choose from. These collections also help with health or allergy issues. With Grill Charms™, if someone has a specific health or dietary need (such as needing a no sodium, low sugar or possibly a gluten free spice alternative) Grill Charms make it easy for people to identify their food before, during and after grilling, without any confusion or effort on the part of the grill master.

With The Spicy Collection, Grill Masters can now offer Mild, Medium and SPICY sauces and rubs without any confusion. With Grill Charms™ those who like it hot, can have it HOT, and those that walk on the milder side know exactly which one is mild. Backyard cook-outs and barbeques just got a lot more interesting with hosts now able to offer different options on the grill.

For a truly unique grilling and dining experience there is The Charmed Life Collection and The Pink Collection. These are the newest collections and each has six different charms so food can be personalized prior to grilling to distinguish spices and flavors, to avoid health or allergy concerns or for any reason you can dream up!

Then there is the no brainer, The Steak Collection. When still uncooked you Grill Charm™ your steak or burger with the desired charm (MR for Medium Rare etc…) so when it comes off the grill, you don’t have to cut into all the beautiful beef to try to find the one you want. You simply look for your Grill Charm™.

The Deal:

Grill Charms™ can be purchased at www.grillcharms.com for $19.95 but if you put “grilling” in the coupon code, you will get $5.00 (25%) off!

How to Use Gifts to Help Loved Ones with Financial Problems

Jun 042010

The majority of Americans struggle with some kind of financial issue. According to statistics, nearly half of American families spend more than they make each year. The average household has about $8,000 in credit card debt and personal bankruptcies have doubled in the past decade. Since money can be a taboo topic for friends and family members, why not use gifts to help your loved ones with their financial problems? Here are some ideas.

Books

There are lots of great financial books available. If there is a money book that has inspired you, why not give your loved ones a copy, too? Jean Chatzky’s Money 911, Suze Orman’s Women & Money or Dave Ramsey’s “Total Money Makeover” are all popular financial books that make great gifts.

Debt Diet DVD

Oprah recently launched the Great American Debt Diet. Not everyone can catch her talk show, but in The Oprah Store you can pick up the Debt Diet DVD series which features five episodes of the Debt Diet series. The DVDs show financial experts working with three typical American families as they climb their way out of debt. Your loved one may be inspired by this gift.

Financial Software

Help your loved ones get their finances in order with the gift of financial software. Crown Money Map Financial Software will get them on the road towards becoming debt free. They’ll be able to build a budget and get financial advice.

The Envelope System

Being organized can help ease money problems. Get your family members or friends off the credit card crutch. Give them The Envelope System, a unique and easy-to-use program that will help them stick to their budget by using cash– not credit.

Gift Cards

Giving your friend or family member cash may not be the best gift– especially if they’ve been known to spend it unwisely. Instead give them a gift card to a grocery store or drug store so you can be fairly sure the money is going to a practical and useful purpose.

Pre-Paid Energy Bills

If you know of a family that’s struggling to make ends meet, take some of the weight off their shoulders by pre-paying their electric or water bill for six months or a year. It’s a practical gift that will help lift some money burdens and hopefully get them on the path towards financial freedom.
