We built this blog to share some of the awesome products and services we find in the day-to-day perusing the internet so we can get and give some joy by sharing….without (always) buying them ourselves!
Some things may be NSFW – mostly for language – so peruse accordingly
Getting Back to It!
Hi all! I’ve been away too long. Real life overtook my time to share products that I want but am trying to resist buying. I’ve been just buying everything! 😢 My first product back at the desk is a conversion kit for your Dyson stick vacuum to use battery packs for popular tool brands. We are a Milwaukee tool…
Mix Tape Necklace
I have a vague belief that I could have posted this before, but whatever… I still love it. I have such fondness for our mix tapes from the 80’s and 90’s – they are some of the only artifacts I’ve held on to from that time. I think I have 3 in my drawer -…
House on a Hill Bowl
Look at this adorable little bowl with a tiny house in the middle. I imagine this being perfect for serving a moat of dip for a nearby basket of veggies or chips. I also imagine the awesome photo opportunities if I make it a bowl for the cats. Up close images of a “giant” cat…
Sequin Jumpsuit
There’s a person inside me that really wants to wear this sequin jumpsuit. The V-neck, the giant sequins, the color – literal perfection to that sparkle monster inside me. I can’t imagine any life scenario I could create that would make wearing this justifiable, but yet… I still want it. (Thank goodness I can tell…
OUISI (we-see) Games
Stumbled across this beautiful box of photo cards that are used for games and activities to inspire creativity. I think this idea is really unique and could be a really good time…for people who have the discipline to sit down and do this sort of thing. I love it, but certainly couldn’t talk my household…
Ready for the 4th of July?
This tee can serve as an early warning system for folks who cannot be trusted with fireworks. (aka – me) I’m quite certain this warning applies for me with many other situations involving fire as well. Safety Third
Is Anyone Else into Balloons Lately?
I just celebrated a birthday recently and treated myself unrestrained balloon and unicorn decorating around my house. I inflated as many balloons as my little helium tank would support and put them around everywhere! Unfortunately, I hadn’t found these balloons yet, I am now into sassy balloons.
Cocktail Flavor Bombs
Found these cute flavor bombs for making cocktails in the shape of fruits. This peach margarita option sounds super delicious for a beautiful Friday. Flavor Bomb
I love … and Tees
I love tees with slogans in this format the options are literally endless. I happen to like this one as I DO love kindness and I DO love popcorn, but this site has a ton of super awesome options. Able Fables
Selfcare Soak Trio
I’ve been consumed with a bit of irrational anxiety lately, so when I ran across this company offering stress destruction in a bath soak…I was all eyes. (not ears – it’s the internet – guffaw) This selection has one of each of the three products for anxiety, sleep and aches. Flewd
It has been too long…
Hey all! Sorry it has been so silent around here. My shopping bug apparently took a break but it is now coming back with a vengeance. Let’s start back up with a super relevant piece, this cute bracelet clarifying your vaccination status. Luckily I was able to get mine pretty quickly so I am now…
Smile Ring
I love this little guy! It’s like a smiley silver balloon animal for your finger. I also like that they have a nice variety of sizes since my fingers are pretty meaty. I am also drooling over that manicure on the model, love those mirror nails! 🔥 Endear Ring
Make Anything into Tongs
I love my tongs, and I’m really fussy about them. They need to be grippy and not make of silicone and not have one flat side and dishwasher friendly. This cool device allows you to make any flatware into a set of tongs. I’m thinking a two-fork tong sounds pretty sweet. To be honest, my…
Send Folks a Tiny T-Rex
I am loving all of these different services to send funny things to your friends. This one is more subtle, including a card and a tiny T-Rex figure. You put in your custom message and they ship it to your desired recipient. I feel this would benefit from being an anonymous gift to really confuse…
Daily Habit Sticky Notes
Sometimes just doing one thing every day can really make a difference. These sticky notes help to break down those big goals one week/daily chunks to make it feel easier. For example, I have a daily goal to “clean something” to help me keep my house clean and organized – I don’t always succeed, but…
For All the Treasured Bobbles
These cool frames safely store and preserve your special little bits and bobs so you can display them instead of losing them in the back of a drawer (guilty!). It has a clear flim that flexes over your stuff and clamps closed suspending the object in the frame. These are so great! Time Clip
For Automotive Enthusiast
This bracelet made from an old ford bronco with the original paint! I love that they give all the bracelets names, this one is “Leroy”. It gives me a combo bo-ho and wonder-woman vibe at the same time – and those vibes go well together. Joyride
Big Stuffed Mammoth
Look at that face! What a cutie! Where were these when stuffed animals were for me, not just for my dogs!? I sorta want to make a pre-historic display of the cute dinosaur creatures from this place on my office couch. Big Stuffed
X-Wing Button Down Shirt
Not that anyone in my house wearing button-up shirts on a regular basis, this little guy is a cute addition. I love a design with a subtle twist like this seemingly normal looking shirt – but the design is tiny X-Wing fighters! X-Wing Shirt
Combine Affirmations with Handwriting Practice
I don’t know about you, but I have nearly lost my ability to write by hand. With careful effort I can make some passably legible scrawling, but certainly not good. I found this cool workbook that combines lettering practice with the practice of daily affirmations… now that is quality multitasking. Mindful Lettering Book
Bathtub Float System
This looks so delightful, a system of two flotation devices to make your bath time even more relaxing – without having to use effort to keep yourself from drowning in the water. I also think this would be super nifty in a hot tub to max out the relaxation without having to get a full…
Animated TV Pins
With our newfound love of vintage TV thanks to Wandavision. This pin brings that aesthetic to mind with a collection of stickers that you can wear on your wood-grain TV Pin Ellingson TV Pins
Cool Artsy Sunglasses
These are the most unique sunglasses I have ever seen. I wonder how well you can actually see through them, but for the right moment, it would be worth the sacrifice. Spunglasses
After Dinner Challenges
Whenever we can get our friends together for a dinner party again, this game can provide some additional entertainment. These cards have seemingly impossible challenges for guests or groups of guests to perform…with the detailed instructions on how to perform them. For example… opening a wine bottle with a shoe. I need these for my…
Moving Sand Art
I feel like I have a childhood memory of art like this in homes – maybe in the 70’s? I guess everything comes back into fashion. This freestanding sand art is super cool and you can put on your desk to watch while you spend your days on endless conference calls. Sand Art
Irrational Urge for Sequin Pants
I discovered these pants while browsing some clearance stuff and I’m in love. I love the fancy baroque style and sequins and not-black navy color and even the wide/bell style leg… *chef kiss*. I also realize I’m a 40-something homebody in the midst of winter and a pandemic… these do not need to take up…
Bird Cocktail Glass
I can imagine a white cosmo with a rosemary sprig peeking out as the bird’s tail – a thanksgiving favorite. I have also struggled with a dream of putting cotton candy on a drink and this might solve that. I bet a bird could have a fluffy cotton candy tail and it would not instantly…
Glass Ceiling Necklace
I love this, but it makes me ache a little – to acknowledge that I don’t know if I have broken any glass ceilings. I just work and do pretty well, but I don’t know that I have conquered any unseen barrier that has blocked others. Anyway… it is a super cool and pretty piece…
Decorations for Your Dishes!
These are permanent stickers for your dishes. You stick them on, then bake the thing and they stay forever. (If you don’t put them in the dishwasher) They have super cute designs, so maybe a fun way to revive a boring dish or vase you inherited from someone. Stick and Dine
Best Valentine Card Ever
I want to buy this card for all of my friends and hubs for valentine’s day! This is the exact sentiment I hold for everyone I love… including you! Thank you for being weird with me. Happy barely-time-left-to-order-something-for-valentine’s day! Valentine Card
Send Your DNA to the Moon!
So it turns out you can send a sample of your DNA to the moon (or just your name or someone’s ashes). This feels like super cool gift for someone you know who has a fondness for the moon or is a big fan of ancient aliens. You can send bundles of DNA from your…
NunChuck Nun Tee
I love these retro style tees. This tickles my delightfully absurd funny bone just the right way. NunChuck Nun
Can I wear a ring that is wearing a ring and a watch?
It turns out, no, I cannot wear a ring that is wearing a ring and a watch because it is $10,000. I really love looking at it, this is such a fun design and really well executed. I sure love it, I wish they had a costume version because I would totally buy it. Hands…
Clear Puzzle
They SAY that this is medium difficulty puzzle, it seems to me like it would be super difficult to assemble a puzzle that doesn’t have an image and the puzzle pieces don’t have a top or bottom. On the up side, it does say there are multiple solutions so maybe this is more of a…
Shooting Star Backpack
Can I PLEASE be 12 years old so that I would feel normal sporting this sweet backpack! I love stars, glittery stuff and backpacks…this is really calling my name.
Sweaty Hands?
I have super sweaty feet so whenever I run across a product to manage sweat I take note. This one was apparently developed for video gamers who get sweaty hands while playing. It comes in a bunch of different scents, I might give this a try for my sweaty feet! Gamer Goo
Build a Tiny TV
This looks super cute and could be a fun project. You assemble a tiny TV and remote control that can play videos you upload to the SD card. It says it assembles in 5 minutes, but I’m sure you can savor the process it for at least 10. Tiny TV
Cassette Tape Art
I just found a few mix tapes from high school recently and was stumped on what to do with them. I don’t have any way to play them and they probably would break anyway, and yet.. I feel compelled to stash them away in the back of the drawer to be found again on the…
Knit Faux Loafers
Love these little fake loafers, they are knitted with the details but are really more of a flat. I’m also super into this color this year, I’m certain a dark turquoise like this works as a neutral so I’m wearing it with everything. Deep Sea Loafers
Space Time Mementos
Pick a date that you want to immortalize and they will make a cool disk with the orientation of planets in the solar system on that day. It’s a super cool idea, and as usual, I’m trying to think of dates to immortalize that might be funny or unusual…. like the day I got a…
Last Gasp of Cute Before We Forget the Child
Now that the Mandalorian has come to a close, I’m sure we’ll collectively forget about Grogu and our Mandalorian friends soon enough. Until then… you can eat them up in adorable marshmallow pop form! Mandalorian Marshmallow Pops
Stay Weird Tank
Since my pandemic uniform largely consists of tees with cardigans. The quality of my tee collection has been moving up considerably. I think this makes for a nice addition and could go with some of those light colored cardigans that I rarely wear for fear of coffee spills. Stay Weird
Zebra Blowing a Bubble Vase
I love zebras for some reason, sorta in the same way I love unicorns. Like a horse but with some flair! This little vase takes that flair to a new level by having our zebra blowing a bubble. I really want this for my desk! Zebra Vase For the Giraffe Fans…
LED Gloves
I think this is what I always wanted from a headlamp but my fingers kept getting in the way! I have a painting project on my list of things to do this weekend, it would be awesome to have these to help me see in all those corners and edges. LED Gloves
Aspirational Kimono
I aspire to be that person who wears a kimono while relaxing at home or stylishly zooming through my work day, but no… I’m wearing flip flops and a sweatshirt as usual. If I was to become that person, I love this one. Kimono
Is it Too Soon for Bunnies?
Look at this adorable plate held up by cute bunny feet! Of course, I have to do the conversion on cm to inches…so that’s about 7 1/2 inches…which feels like it could delightfully hold 3 cupcakes or maybe 4. Maybe I could make a little veggie platter to sit on the plate – healthy new…
Make More Biscuits Tee
Stumbled on this cool site the BS – The Bitter Southerner – that is striving to reveal the awesome secrets of the south and breaking stereotypes. That is a truly noble endeavor and as a generally embarrassed southerner – I applaud them. They have some AWESOME tees, books and products. More Biscuits Tee
Guitar Legends Alphabet Book
What a fun gift idea for the child of the local guitar legend in your life to teach them the things they need to know – letters and guitar legends. I bet this would be fun for your local guitar legend as well. Guitar Legends Alphabet Book
IceBeanie for Migraines
As a person suffering with a sinus infection – the idea of an ice beanie sounds super delightful to help with the pain in my head right now. I think something like this might be nice to keep on hand for those headache emergencies or for the summer when I’ve been working out in the…
