July 27th, 2009 · 2 Comments
So my significant other asked me to write a post about iPhone cases. Why?

Yes, I called his iPhone “baby”. So I decided to help [...]

Affordable Luxuries: Houseguest Gifts
July 15th, 2009 · No Comments
Maybe it’s because people are taking fewer exotic vacations lately, but I’ve had more people stay overnight in the past month than I have had in the past year. All the activity has has made me think about what makes a good houseguest. What inspires us to invite some people back, while locking the door [...]

Festive Flip-Flop Coasters
These Flip-Flop Coasters make a great hostess gift. The flip-flop was designed (as early as Egyptian times) to stay on the base of the foot but it works great with the base of a martini glass as well! Who knew? The sturdy straps keep your drink from tipping over as you saunter about [...]
