I Admit It…

Posted in Cocktails, Father's Day, Gifts under $30, Hard to Find Items, Valentines for Him, Who We Are at 5:37 am by Deb Savvy

It’s not that I’m such a serious drinker. The truth is that I actually don’t drink that much. Despite this fact, I must admit that I really do want a small flask of my very own.

Nothing fancy. Nothing big. Something small and simple but with a little bit of style. Something exactly like this Round Celtic Flask. At 5 ounces it’s the perfect size.

I found it amongst the hundreds of flasks over at FlaskShop.com.

A bargain for only $27.50 – at this price there’s no reason not to indulge my flask desire. Many other styles and designs are available in the same price range, making a flask a wonderful and affordable gift option.  An especially popular gift with the guys – but like I said, I really want one for myself.

And Speaking of Apples

Posted in American Regional Products, Edible Gifts, Fruit, Gift Baskets, Gourmet Shopping, Groceries, Hard to Find Items at 6:16 am by Deb Savvy

I’m here in the heart of apple country – Oregon.  I attended a harvest market last week and tomorrow I plan on going again.  They’re famous for a lot more than the apples here, of course, but it was the apples that really rocked my world.

There must have been at least 30 varieties of local apples from which to choose.  Loads of ’boutique’ varieties from local growers.  And lots of free samples!  The tasting almost made it harder to choose, but since I knew I’d be able to go back again, I felt a little less pressure.  My current favorite is the Hidden Rose – a small apple with light green skin, pink fruit and a sweet yet tangy taste.  Like a Grannie Smith with honey.  YUM! And it didn’t stop at apples. That was just the beginning! There were pears galore. Local wines. Smoked salmon. And lots more.

World of Wii

Posted in Electronics, Fitness, Games, Hard to Find Items, Toys at 9:43 pm by Deb Savvy

Everybody I know is going Wii crazy these days. And I’ve hopped on the bandwagon. I was lucky enough to be invited to a few Wii marathons with friends and all I can say is Wii Wow! How fun! And what a great way to exercise, too. The Wii Fit is awesome. And the Wii sports. And the games. What a blast.

GameStop, Inc.

The weird thing is that you’d think that the infamous Wii Christmas shortage would be over by know – but it’s not. Game console systems can still be hard to find. And so can some of the accessories and games. I’ve been surfing like crazy and cannot report any place (other than eBay) where you can simply order a console that’s in stock and have it shipped right away. I have found a terrific source for games and accessories in GameStop.com. They’ve got HUNDREDS of Nintendo Wii items IN STOCK and READY TO SHIP. With bricks and mortar locations all over the country, many items are even available for in-store pickup. They also offer some ’system packages’ that include the basic starter package along with additional remotes, accessories and games. Their packages are fairly priced, particularly when you compare them to some of the packages offered by the Wii-only websites that have sprung up out of the Wii drought. If you’re Wii shopping like I am, take a surf over to GameStop.com. You’ve got nothing to lose but a few clicks!

Posted in Gifts, Hard to Find Items, Jewelry Storage at 12:41 am by Deb Savvy

Shopping for a jewelry box can be a pain, whether it’s for yourself or as a gift for someone else. Most department and jewelry stores will have a nice but far too limited selection. The same is true of gallery type stores – what they have is probably beautiful but most likely not exactly what you’re looking for.

Shop at JewelryBoxes.com

Forget about settling on something that’s just ‘okay’. Avoid the need to run from store to store. Find exactly the jewelry box you’re looking for at what can only be described as the world’s biggest jewelry box superstore – JewelryBoxes.com.

We’re Heading to Wicked

Posted in Event Tickets, Graduation, Hard to Find Items, Theatre at 3:50 am by Deb Savvy

Duncan is graduating from 8th grade and big plans are in the works. In and among what I’m sure will be a week long celebration, she and I are going to see Wicked! I’m not sure which one of us is more excited.

Get tickets for premium and sold-out events

Like always, I kind of waited until the last minute to take care of the ticket thing. By the time we decided on the day we wanted to go and I finally got around to shopping there were ZERO seats available at the box office or through Ticketmaster. I must admit I was a bit panicked. No worries, though. I found a great selection of excellent seats at WeHaveSeats.com. And I got our Wicked tickets for far less then I was afraid I’d have to pay.

Pocky Talk

Posted in Candies, Chocolate, Hard to Find Items, International Foods, Snacks, Who We Are at 4:59 am by Deb Savvy

I’m not sure why I like Pocky so much. Maybe it’s because I actually lived in Japan as a little kid back in the 60’s when Pocky was first introduced. Maybe I saw an ad and was mesmerised as a three year old and hypnotised into loving Pocky. Who knows? Maybe I just tried it back then, loved it and have been addicted ever since!

It was actually called Chocoteck back then. The name was changed after a couple of years to Pocky – to honor the crunchy munchy sounds they make when eaten. It’s funny – sometimes I see Pocky everywhere I go – at Walgreens, 7-Eleven even the corner store. Never the new or more exotic flavors, of course. But enough to satisfy a serious Pocky craving.

Asian Food Grocer Snack Pack

And other times it’s just nowhere – except AsianFoodGrocer.com. In ALL possible flavors. Even new flavors that can be really hard to find here in the States. And you can even buy large boxes of single Pocky packs – perfect for munching and crunching with a cup of coffee. I’ve been known to carry them in my purse – just in case I have a Pocky emergency.

Want a Wonderful Water Feature?

Posted in Art, Fountains, Garden Decor, Hard to Find Items, Outdoor Decor at 5:20 am by Deb Savvy

With the spring gardening well underway and the summer outdoor entertaining season about to hit full swing, many of us are busily sprucing up our outdoor spaces. One way to add a lot of punch to your garden is a fountain or water feature. The problem is that a really nice water feature can be difficult to find. Unless you know where to shop. For a HUGE selection of unique and beautiful fountains don’t even bother to take a trip to your local garden center – shop the specialists. GardenFountains.com. In this case, it’s all in the name. Fountains are what they do best.

Weathered Sphere Outdoor Water Feature

I’m currently enamored of this Weathered Sphere Outdoor Water Feature ($374) but it’s hardly representative of the huge selection of fountains of different styles, materials, sizes and price points.

If you want a wonderful water feature take a surf over there. You’ve got nothing to lose but a few clicks.
