39" Giant Horse with Sounds

[Scroll down to view product info]

Kids nowadays are often seen glued to their computer, tablet, smartphone, or anything else that has a screen. Whatever happened to children just going outside to play or having some good old-fashioned fun with some classic toys like action figures, Rock'em Sock'em, board games, or the Easy Bake Oven? Sadly, those days are gone, but you may be able to bring it back with the 39" Giant Horse with Sounds. It's great that this toy can still engage a child's imagination without it having to be plugged in. Although this horse does not rock the like the original rocking horse, your child can still dream about being a cowboy riding in the Wild West instead of playing a video game or app. I admit that sometimes it's just easier to give my son my smartphone to keep him busy, but I try not to let him get too dependent on those type of electronic devices. Sometimes it's refreshing to see my kids entertain themselves with classic toys like the 39" Giant Horse that we grew up on. Not only that, but if your daughter asks for a pony for Christmas, you now have a gift for her without having to get a real live animal that you have to take care of.

Now that winter is here, staying warm will always be an issue for many people across the country. Don't underestimate what an exposed neck can do when the temperatures drop. That is why the Enzo Mantovani Cashmere Blend Scarf is as essential as a thick jacket when going out. Usually inexpensive scarves (like the $10 ones at Old Navy) don't do too good of a job keeping you warm, but because this is a blend of wool and cashmere, it'll help you stay warm better than other scarves. It's great that it isn't expensive at all, so you don't have to spend too much on a decent and stylish scarf. That and this scarf can be used by both men and women, so anyone can wear it. This scarf does come in various colors like black and blue, so you can wear this scarf for all occasions: work, social events, parties, or just around the house when you don't want to turn on the heater and save on energy costs. You won't regret getting the Enzo Mantovani Wool Cashmere Blend Scarf when it's keeping you nice and warm.

Sabatier Expandable Colander

[Scroll down to view product info]

I bought a colander similar to the Sabatier Expandable Colander at Costco in the past. I liked the concept but the one I bought was just too bulky for my sink and countertop, even with the arms folded in all the way. But the Sabatier Expandable Colander seems a bit more compact but still does its job when it comes to holding fruits and vegetables over the sink while you wash them. I would buy it for cooked pasta and for that it does a good job. No need to use a plate underneath a standard colander to catch the water dripping from the cooked pasta. I would just have the Sabatier Expandable Colander over one side of my kitchen sink while keeping the other side free for when I need to wash something else. In my kitchen, space is a premium so the Sabatier Expandable Colander is a good tool to have.

Chillax Parachute Silk Double Travel Hammock CCLH20-33

[Scroll down to view product info]

My family and I love camping since we get to enjoy Mother Nature and be away from school, work, and the daily grind without having to spend a whole lot on a vacation. Unfortunately, camping can be a quite a hassle. You literally have to bring everything: food and cooking equipment, sleeping bags, tents, chairs, etc. All this stuff has to be lugged from your car to the campground and back. One thing that is pretty useful when you do go camping is the Chillax Parachute Silk Double Travel Hammock CCLH20-33. The Chillax CCLH20-33 Double Travel Hammock is compact, portable, light, and easy to set up. Now you can easily have a place to lay down and take a nap when you're just hanging out in the campground. It's versatile too, so you can use it even when you don't go camping. You can set it up in your backyard, patio, or outdoor deck. It's not as expensive and bulky as a regular hammock for the backyard which would normally have a metal frame. You won't regret getting the Chillax Double Travel Hammock CCLH20-33 when you're one with nature.

If you have a bar or a counter and want something a bit fancier than your standard bar stool, then consider the Bayside Furnishings Swivel Bar Stool at Costco.

Smartworks Smart Design Pop-Up Organizer

[Scroll down to view product info]

I've always had a tough time getting organized. After cleaning the house, the house always seems to get messy within only a few days. We tend to accumulate a lot of stuff and clutter just builds up. Even if you have a cleaning person to come in to help clean your place, you still have to clear the clutter prior to the cleaning visit. That's why with the Smart Design Pop-Up Organizer Tote, you can easily organize your things into one consolidated place. That way you won't just leave things lying around when you have a specific place to put it away. This tote goes a long way in preventing clutter from accumulating so fast. Clutter will always accumulate, but it's just a matter of limiting it. The Smart Design Pop-Up Organizer Tote is definitely great for the house, but also works well for the car trunk if you go grocery shopping, the garage for tools, laundry room, etc. It has a bunch of pockets, so you can easily get organized. It features easy-to-hold handles, so that you can carry the tote around even with its contents. But what's really cool is that you can fold it up and put it away when not in use. Its folded up form is so low profile that it doesn't take a lot of space when you need to stow it away. The Smart Design Pop-Up Organizer Tote is a very practical item to have around in your house if you constantly have the problem of clearing clutter like I do.

Hamilton Beach Hot Oil Popcorn Popper (73302E)

[Scroll down to view product info]

My family and I absolutely love going to the movies. We enjoy the big screen, the surround sound, and let's not forget the movie theater popcorn. The drawback though is that it can be kind of expensive for a family of four. Not only that, but you have to get there early to find parking, get good seats, and sometimes you have to deal with people talking on their cell phones during the movie. It can be a hassle. That's why we love staying in and making it a movie night with a couple of dvds. We have a big enough tv and a good entertainment system to replicate the theater experience, but microwaveable popcorn and popcorn popped from an air popper just isn't the same as in the theaters. That's why the Hamilton Beach Hot Oil Popcorn Popper (model 73302E) is essential for movie night. What makes movie theater popcorn taste so good is that it's popped in oil. The Hamilton Beach Hot Oil Popcorn Maker kind of does the same thing where it uses hot oil to pop the kernels. It even has a stirring arm giving unpopped kernels a better chance to reach their potential. I hate it when I microwave a bag of popcorn and I try to pop all the kernels and the already popped popcorn gets burnt since it's been in the microwave too long. This is definitely great for movie nights and parties when you need a quick snack for you guests. You won't regret getting Hamilton Beach Hot Oil Popcorn Popper (73302E) if you enjoy movie theater popcorn at home.
