Children are notorious for leaving their toothbrushes all over the bathroom. If they don’t have a specific place to put it, they cast them down without any thought of germs or hygiene. The Gel Toothbrush Holder works to solve many toothbrush holder issues as well as serving as a cute bathroom accessory. Not only is it quite attractive, it conveniently sticks to mirrors, tile or glass. This keeps it clean and out of the way, giving more counter space. A great gift for younger children or teens. Who says getting kids to brush their teeth isn’t fun? They will love to use the Gel Toothbrush Holder. Read more »

We all get gifts that we either don’t like, don’t need or already own. Whether it’s a sweater that’s too small, a gift card for a store you don’t care for or a gadget you already own, there are easy ways to get rid of gifts you don’t want. Here are a few of the best ways to unload your unwanted items.
Swap or Sell Unwanted Gift Cards
Gift cards are great, but sometimes plain old cash is better. At GiftCardRescue.com you can easily find out the redemption value of your unwanted gift card. Usually it’s between 60-80% of your card’s value. Ship the card to GiftCardRescue.com and they’ll give you the cash via PayPal. The site is also set up to allow you to exchange your gift card for a different one. If your grandma gave you a gift card to Sears, but you’d rather have Starbucks, GiftCardRescue.com can help.

I am happy and proud to announce that Alison (our lovely Contributor) and Tim (her husband) returned safely back home after riding two Vespa scooters for 6 days accross The Carolinas.
They are an extraordinary couple, trying to make the World a better place for everybody.
Their trip was all about raising money for people who currently do not have access to clean drinking water. Their project is called 2 Wheels 4 Water and their message is SAVE GAS. END THIRST.
In a previous post, Give the Gift of Water , Alison explained her decision to start this project. If you’d like to find out how YOU can help or just read more about their efforts to help bring clean drinking water to people who don’t have it, please visit www.2wheels4water.com.

Shopping for gifts online is convenient and quick. But one of the major drawbacks of online shopping are shipping costs. No one wants to have to pay an extra fee for buying something on the Internet– especially if you’re buying it from a store you could just drive to. Here are three places to look that will help you find free shipping for your next gift purchase.
FreeShippingOn.com
FreeShippingOn.com is for people who love shopping online, but hate paying shipping costs. Through this site you can search for listings on Amazon or Ebay that have free shipping.

FreeShipping.com
One way to get free shipping is through FreeShipping.com. You must pay a membership fee, but that entitles you to always receive free shipping at over 1,000 online retailers.

UPDATE: FreeShipping.org
At FreeShipping.org you can find free shipping by Store and by Category. For your convenience, Free Shipping is also categorized by “soon to expire” and “most recent”.

Today we are all about being “green”. It makes perfect sense to incorporate this green trend into gift giving. The Eco Picnic Basket for Two is a beautiful choice for both giving a great gift and for helping the environment. An ideal choice for someone who likes enjoying the outdoors and who will genuinely appreciate the handcrafted design of this willow basket.
You will be letting someone dine in class with this basket. Included with the basket are bamboo plates, 2 wine glasses, embroidered natural cotton napkins, cutting board and utensils are made specifically for two. Impressive that such a striking picnic basket would come with so many included items. All that’s missing is the food! The basket is handwoven willow and made completely of all natural and renewable sources. Read more »

Some of us call them collectibles, some others call them handcrafted toys.
But no matter what you call them, they have the same effect on you: they make you smile!
About the Artist
The creative mind behind all these unique products is Ms. Heidi Kenney. She finds inspiration in ordinary objects of every day life or nature and turns them into extraordinary pieces of art. Ms. Kenney regularly participates to Craft Shows and Galleries; you can check her upcoming shows on her BLOG.
About the Artwork
They are all made by hand; the main material is soft and colorful plush. Most of them are intended as toys; however, there are a few pieces of furniture (pillows), too! What I love the most about all these products is the character and colors.
I have to say that I had a hard time trying to decide which pictures I wanted for this post as they are all cute and special. You can see the whole collection and read more at MyPaperCrane.com. You can even BUY some of them. MyPaperCrane Store is updated every month with new, ingenious items.
And because they are so cheerful, I would recommend them as GET WELL gifts! Also, I would recommend the unique pillows as a perfect gift for a FIRST TIME HOMEOWNER.
Let’s Talk
I’d love to hear your experience with this type of gift in comments below. Would you offer it to someone? Or yourself? And why. Happy reading!

Between birthdays, graduations, and weddings greeting card costs can really add up. Many of them can cost $3-$4 each. Throw in Christmas cards and the whole process might be setting you back far more than you think. But you can still be thoughtful without those high costs.
Make Your Own
Head to the craft store and pick up some supplies to make your own. Not only will you add your own special creative touch to the cards, you’ll save money too. Check out Michael’s for supplies and have fun.
Go Electronic
These days there are lots of options when it comes to electronic greeting cards. Send your message straight to your loved ones’ inbox and you don’t have to worry about forking over 42 cents for a stamp. Some to check out are HipsterCards.com, Hallmark.com and Someecards.com.
Buy Bulk
You know you’re going to need birthday cards throughout the entire year. So rather than running to the store every time you need a card, try buying them in bulk. You’ll save money and time. Read more »
