We don’t really have a music store around town - and the one that we have it’s pretty small - so thank God for internet where one can get just about any musical instrument that you want - like the alvarez guitar that I’ve been eying on for a long time now. I have a fender as you can see on the top - so if anyone is interested in trading - I really won’t mind trading. The Alvarez guitar is about the same price of the Fender that I have and if I’m into classical - actually the spouse wants to take up classical - so I’m getting one for her - and since I’m not using the Fender - I’m selling that one online too. With free shipping, that’s a bonus for anyone who wants to buy online, most times when I get something online - I don’t have to consider it because the shipping already saved me a lot of moeny.
As parents we are always looking for cool stuff for our kids and this OFFI’s MyPet Lamps collection is a great gift for those endless baby showers yo8u have to attend. This lamp is friendly at night and gives out a soft light to help your child dose off at night. And if your kids are creative - give them a washable marker and they can create their own design on the lamp for their room. Lamps from OFFI do not come cheap - but check them out at FAB for half the price. $37 is a cool price to pay for a baby shower.
For those who have kids - I’m sure you’ve heard of Melissa and Doug - for they produces educational toys for kids and i’ll have to say that things you buy from Melissa and Doug - they really can stimulate your kids and they are quality stuff. My daughter received a drawing/coloring book by Melissa and Doug from a friend this Christmas and you can see the quality is really different from the dollar store coloring book and those from other store. It even teaches my daughter how to trace and how to do proper coloring. So this City Ramp Racing set is not just your ordinary boy toy - kids gets to learn to build their racing tracks - plus all the colors on the ramp would certainly fascinate your child for quite a few hours. So if you like stimulating toys - don’t buy dollar store toys please.
Since Valentine’s Day is just round the corner - I figured I would share some of the best Valentine’s Gift I’ve found on the net to share with you. The first gift are chocolate truffle gifts - why chocolate truffle? because everyone loved chocolate truffle - who can resist them especially the good kind. Even my diabetic spouse loved truffle and truffle comes in a lot of kind - check it out.
A box of 36 Assorted Truffles would surely win you some brownie points - share it with her in bed on Valentine’s day with a bottle of champagne. Think of all the kinky things you can do after having some truffles with champagne.
Now for those whose spouses are diabetic - have no worries - we have the 36 assorted sugar free truffles - now this one is a real winner !
And truffles in a Valentine Box for the love of your life - now that would take her breath away.
We thought it would be a great start of the year to get a new mattress for the new year - maybe a memory foam mattress this time. Why? because they say - the form mattress molds to the shape of your body - thus giving you better support and circulation. It reduces the stress on y our body - giving you a better night’s rest. Now everyone can use a good night sleep right? I’ve been having problems with my mattress for the last few months - so any mattress at this point of time would be a good change.
Now I would have loved to own this bunch of vintage cameras had I known they were on sale. Not that many would work now - but it’s pretty cool to display these vintage cameras at our store. For $300 I could definitely afford to get them - and would be a real cool collection. Alas, they were sold out when I saw them! darn! just my luck!
The spouse told me that she wanted to go tint her eyelashes in which I asked her what eyelashes? because her eyelashes are so short - you could hardly see it - so if she went for the tinting would it make a difference? In which she got upset - because I was being honest - so she wants to look for eyelash growth products to prove me wrong and make me regret for saying my mind. So for those who don’t want to get smack by the spouse - the next time the spouse tells you she wants to do anything to her face - or facial hair -just nod and say - yes dear. Else you are going to be like me - ending up looking for eyelash growth products every time you go shopping with her. JOY!
For those who loved traveling like we do - you may want to take advantage of this deal - $12 for an entire year subscription to Travel & Leisure on FAB. But you have to be living in US of course. Lots of tips and information for places you are thinking of going but don’t know much about. I’ve read the magazine before - so I know that it’s a pretty good magazine and a lot of advertisement. Travel smart is the way to go.
The spouse said that if someone sent her these handcrafted sugar from Japan - she would be delighted because they are so pretty - she exclaimed. Well, if someone gave this to her - it would be on display and never used knowing the spouse. It’s like a work of art to her but to me - it’s just colorful pieces of candy - no coloring - handmade and only used the best sugar to make. I guess if you are into high tea and stuff like that with the women’s club - you would want to use them for your friends.
They come in gift boxes, definitely a great gift for anyone who loves and enjoy food or the arty farty relative of yours during Christmas. Order them from http://www.chambredesucre.com/
