Frugal Friday: Aerobie Football

Friday, May 29th, 2009 | Frugal Friday, Gift Giving Philosophy, Gift Idea

I swear, I am not in any way affiliated with the folks over at Aerobie (although I just signed up to be notified of their new products – yeah!). I just love any of their products I’ve tried so far (and, judging from all the positive reviews on so many of their products, so do lots of other people!).

So, imagine my surprise and delight as I’m walking through the store and I see the Aerobie® Football?!?!? What??? I didn’t even know they made a football!

This is exactly like the football I got! Pretty and fun – the best of both worlds.

Well, you know I had to get it as a gift for my boyfriend who just loves footballs or any type of sports related ball. He even taught me how to throw a …read more

Memorial Day Thank You Gift Ideas

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009 | Gift Idea

Memorial Day weekend is almost here and people will be outside eating, drinking, playing and celebrating. It feels like the kick off to summer in a lot of ways. Even in Boston we are starting to see the warmer temps and are going to get some “Partly Sunny” skies! I’m ready!!!

So, when you go to the neighbor’s, your family’s or a friend’s house for a get together, what are you going to bring as a thank you gift?

A lot of this (obviously) depends on the people you are getting gifts for. Even so, we seem to fall into the same ruts over and over again. Alcohol, flowers or nothing at all. Bringing a bottle of wine or your good friend’s favorite beer is a nice gesture, as are the flowers. The problem with these old stand-bys is that they are so predictable and …read more

College Ave. Series – Part 4: Sweet Dreams, Toy Store

Friday, March 6th, 2009 | Gift Idea

Gift Detective Approved!
Sweet Dreams, the candy and gift shop I blogged about yesterday, also has a sister toy store! The sister store is named, Sweet Dreams, Toy Store and is located at 2921 College Ave., in gorgeous Berkeley, CA.

Toys, of course, make great gifts for children, but I highly recommend going to a toy store to find presents for adults that are fun loving too.

This store has a wonderful assortment of toys – just as a toy store should be! Everything is well organized and easy to find. They have a great range of prices – very inexpensive items, fun for novelties, stocking stuffers, advent calendars, etc. to your more expensive items.

I got some very fun items while I was there!

I got this wonderful Aerobie Pro Flying Ring. We have had it for less than …read more
