Let’s Go Shopping!

Sloggers

10. August 2010

I needed some garden clogs but couldn’t find anything suitable locally… so ordered a pair of Sloggers clogs through Amazon. They’re remarkably well made and so comfortable I’ve been wearing them since they arrived… and I usually find it preferable to go barefoot! Made in U.S.A., this model is dubbed the ‘premium garden clog’ and [...]

The list: Ranger Up

WB over at Pereiraville posted a list of everything she and her family have purchased from Think Geek. WB is the one responsible for my recent ‘huge tracts of land’ t-shirt. Saw it on her, had to have it, love it madly, wearing it right now. Anyway, we’re on the road to the same purchase [...]

A Coke experiment which should be turned into an ad campaign, because it’s a very ‘feel good’ kind of thing.

We tried pet store options to keep Daisy warm through the recent cold weather, but nothing fit correctly.

Just put 90% of my Christmas shopping to bed, all of it via the internet. If I’d planned ahead a bit better, it would all be done now and there would be no pending mall excursions to dread look forward to… eh, next year. Thought I’d share some of my ‘finds’. And no, I don’t [...]

Cyber Monday

I’m knee deep in Amazon lists of baby dolls, houses and clothes. And let’s not forget Littlest Pet Shop! Or game cartridges! Emails about these important issues have flown at breakneck speeds between OD and I today… and I can promise you one thing: Black Friday may have been a wash, but I’m doing my [...]

Everyone should have an Amazon wish list

Between my busy schedule of cleaning out kitchen cupboards, playing Mafia Wars and chatting with my sister in law via Skype, The Season has completely overtaken me. And not in a good way. Not at all the warm, fuzzy, ‘Turkey next week!’ and ‘Christmas is almost here!’ glow that we all aspire to around this [...]
