Shopping helps and hints

A must have March 13, 2008

I was watching a show last night that had Tori Spelling on it talking about baby products that are a “must have”. One of the items that she said she used all of the time was a baby sling I had to use one of these with Riley…she was only happy when she was attached to me! Back when she was little there were not a ton of options for baby slings. Tori was talking about a site called Slinglings that offered a wide selection of good quality slings. I checked out the site today and they have really cute slings! This would be a great gift for a mom-to-be. I would have really wanted the chocolate & pink one! Right now they are having a buy 2 get one free sale :) They even have adorable little doll slings for your toddler.

 

Beyond… March 13, 2008

I received a catalog from Bed, Bath, and Beyond yesterday. Usually I don’t really look through these very much but this one caught my eye. The entire front cover was all SimpleHuman products. I love Simplehuman! They have the most efficient and functional products…plus they offer really cool design. One of my favorites is my Simple Human Soap Dispenser! I have this in my powder room and it keeps it so clean…no soapy mess to deal with. I fill mine with my favorite Bath & Body Works soap.

Farther into the catalog I came across Slipper Genie Micro Fiber Cleaning Slippers. I gotta tell you…I am very tempted to buy these. I love to wear slippers…I don’t love to swiffer my floor. For $9.99 I can shuffle around in my slippers and clean the floor at the same time :) I bet my kids would think it was fun too. Best part…they come in pink!!

I also came across a new Yankee Candle Fragrance Fan in the catalog. This is a battery operated scent diffuser. It looks like a normal candle…but it is constantly puffing out the smell into the air. Perfect for a place where you don’t want a candle lit. You can choose from the great Yankee Candle fragrances.

You can pick up the Fragrance Fan for $15 when you use the coupon on the back of the catalog. Or for $5 you can try out the new Glade Flameless Candle. I have been using the Glade Flameless Candle and love it! I have the Clean Linen scent and have actually had people walk into my house and tell me it smells good (this is great news considering that I have 2 dogs!). A couple of my friends went out the next day and bought one for themselves. The cool thing about it is that it not only puffs air freshener out periodically (you set how strong you want it) but it also has a battery operated “faux” candle that looks super real! It will turn itself off after 3 hours, but it continually puffs fragrance into the air even when the candle is not turned on. The candle actually flickers like a real candle! Seriously…I love this thing!! You can buy it at drugstores or grocery stores and it retails for around $10. You can sign up here to get a $5 coupon. I promise that this is the best thing ever…and I have never been a user of plug in air-fresheners!

So…I digress…I can’t believe I was inspired by the Bed Bath & Beyond catalog for today’s post. Can you tell it has been a looong week?
