Every so often when I visit the beach on an especially relaxing vacation, I’ll scoop up some shells or some sand and bring it home with me. At the time, my thought is that if I’m ever stressed or need a reminder of more calm times, I’ll look at them and a piece of my [...]

Pork Rinds for the Super Bowl!
January 28th, 2013 · No Comments · Disability
Most of the world knows February 3, 2013 as Super Bowl Sunday (or for those companies that don’t want to pay a licensing fee, “The Big Game Sunday”). Last year, Rudolph Foods, the world’s largest pork rind manufacturer, did something clever. They proclaimed that Super Bowl Sunday would be “Pork Rind Appreciation Day“. I admit [...]

Book Pillow from India
January 5th, 2013 · No Comments · Developing Areas
Last month, we highlighted two great products from Levenger, an iPad sleeve and an iPad stand. Funny thing about the iPad stand; I actually went on vacation to Indonesia and had a chance to lie my head on a Thai pillow that looked just like it in a beach bale on the beaches of Bali. Here’s [...]

Goat’s Milk Soap from Nourish – All Natural, Handmade, Allergy-Free Soap
December 31st, 2012 · No Comments · Children's Charities
By far the most fragrant package to arrive on my door this holiday season was a box from Nourish Natural Bath Products. My skin is the most sensitive of just about anyone I know. If I put on so much as a thin layer of sunscreen or deodorant, I’ll get a bad rash and itch [...]

Durable Rubber Ball for Dogs
December 30th, 2012 · No Comments · Animal Causes
From the good folks at Planet Dog comes the Orbee-Tuff Glow for Good Ball. It’s a 3″ ball (about the size of a baseball) that’s made of doggie-durable silicone. It is really, really bouncy–when I drop it on the ground it bounces back up almost all the way to where it started. If you have [...]

John Travolta and Olivia Newton John’s Reunion Album for Charity: This Christmas
December 25th, 2012 · No Comments · Children's Charities
I admit, there was a time when I was mildly obsessed with finding some YouTube clips of John Travolta and Olivia Newton John performing together again. Their chemistry in 1978′s Grease was one of the best in musicals of that era, not to mention the chemistry and fun of the case, and both of course [...]

These aren’t your typical cheap promotional logo imprint items–these are real products from great, high-end companies. Not only can you get a lot of these products at great prices, a big chunk of the purchase price will [...]

Buy 72 Petits Fours from Swiss Colony, a Gingerbread House goes to a child in the hospital
December 18th, 2012 · No Comments · Children's Charities
Well, December is here and the Christmas shopping season is fully underway. Growing up, I always loved receiving the Swiss Colony catalog in the mail. I don’t know exactly what it was, but there was something about Chris Mouse, Petit Fours, and blocks of cheese and sausages that was magical. Mind you, these were the [...]
