Give it a Second Spin

Posted in Ecofriendly Shopping, Games, Great Ideas, Housekeeping, Movies, Music at 4:05 am by Deb Savvy

We’ve all seem to got loads of DVD’s and CD’s around – and games, too – and for some reason they just aren’t the disks we want.  And they’re pilig up all over the place!  Here’s a terrific solution.  Give them a chance for second spin – and replace them with something you and your family prefer.

SecondSpin.com 

SecondSpin.com is the internet’s largest buyer & seller of Used CDs, DVDs and Games, meaning you’ll find a huge selection and big savings if you’re buying. And if you’re looking to lighten your load? You can also sell unwanted music, movies and games for cash or credit. Reselling and/or buying used media is also a great way to be a bit kinder to our environment.

May the Force be With You

Posted in Memorabilia, Movies, Unusual Gifts at 7:24 pm by Deb Savvy

It’s crazy how certain movies work their way into the fabric of our everyday lives.  I was having dinner with friends recently and at one point in the conversation, Stacey asked the group ‘what was it that Yoda said?’.   We all answered in unison ‘do or do not.  there is no try.’  Wisdom often comes from unusual sources.

StarWarsShop.com - More Product. More Exclusives. 

And so does fun, by the way.  At their wedding last fall, Michael and Julia posed for pictures while dueling with Star Wars light sabers.  It was really cute and the pictures turned out great.  For the right people, light sabers could be a terrific gift.  It’s just silly enough without being tasteless (to the right people) and certainly memorable.

The only time I ever brought DVD’s with me on a vacation, the disks ”mysteriously”  disappeared from my checked baggage.  That will never happen with downloadable movies.
