Dear Staples, I Love You - I Just Really, Really Love You

Joi — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 20:39:10 +0000

Suffice to say I’m all atwitter. So much so that my cat’s looking at me like, “Are you going to be okay? Cause if not, who’ll feed me?” Her concern is touching, actually.

One of my favorite stores is Staples. I could, literally, spend hours in a Staples or browsing Staples.com.
I am completely and utterly obsessed with candles, favoring the Mercedes of candles, Yankee Candles.

I’m sure you’ve guessed where I’m heading with this. Yankee Candles are now available from Staples. Sure, your local Staples will probably have a killer selection, but you HAVE to check out all the different Yankee Candles on Staples’ website. Yankee Candles make great gifts – the recipient knows you got them something verrrry classy and it’s something they’ll use often. Know this about Yankee Candles, they last forever and a day and they fill the room with an incredible scent.

There’s just really nothing like them and I’ve yet to meet the candle that can… well hold a candle to Yankee Candles.

I’m nothing if not festive, so the candle I chose to show above is the beautiful Yankee Candle® Christmas Eve Candles. Click through for more information about this beauty as well as the countless other candles. Make no mistake about it, this candle addict wants them all.

Magnetic Decision Maker - A Fun Office Gift Idea

Joi — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 19:07:47 +0000

Looking for unique, fun office gift ideas? The Magnetic Decision Maker, shown above, would love to throw its hat into the ring. It’s seen by many as kind of a fun desk toy and novelty office gift but for my middle daughter (Brittan) and I, it could be a sanity preserver. For whatever reasons, we are the most indecisive two people who ever lived. We LITERALLY have drawn names out of a bowl to determine where we’d eat lunch before.

Inevitably, we disagree with the first choice, then move on to the second pick. Half the time it sounds good and off we go. The other half of the time, we draw a third choice. Felling sorry for my husband and other daughters yet?

Product Features

Add a fun diversion to your workspace with this Decision Maker
Provides a meditative focus when you need a break from daily tasks
Dangling ball swings like a pendulum or spiral
Made of metal
5.88Hx3.05″ dia.

Product Description

Decision maker Is the art of management meets the science of magnetism in the pendulum decision maker.
Although it spends some time oscillating, vacillating and waffling between its six choices, the pendulum will eventually settle firmly on one.
Even if you don’t agree with its decision, you’ll be mesmerized as the pendulum mysteriously makes your mind up for you.
* Its sophisticated.
* Operates by a magnetic field.
* When you hit the ball it moves all around and stops in answer.
* Stands 9.4″ tall and bottom is 4″ around.

See Magnetic Decision Maker for a closer look.

Oh Nuts! Oh, Superior Nuts!

Joi — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 17:48:27 +0000

The vision of yumminess above is the “Colossal Pistachios 20oz Decanter” from Superior Nuts. This particular decanter is just a little over $20, making it not only a great Christmas gift for co-workers and/or associates, but a great little, “To me, From me” gift as well.

From the Web Site:

Beautiful decanter filled with Colossal Pistachios. These Colossal Pistachios are Huge. Only the largest are chosen, then roasted in small batches and lightly salted to bring out their best flavor. The best Snacking imaginable!”

Superior Nuts has every single kind of nut you can think of and they really outdo themselves on finding ways to present them – glass jars, decanters, baskets, tin cans, etc. My personal favorite nut is the Cashew and the things they do with it makes my head swim. The “Giant Cashews (2.5 Pound Glass Jar)” (pictured below) kind of makes your mouth water, doesn’t it? Click through to see even more mouth-watering deliciousness.

Great Looking and Gently Priced Office Gifts and Office Supplies

Joi — Tue, 12 May 2009 13:07:01 +0000

I’ve found a new website that I’m absolutely addicted to – Useful Things.com. They have gifts, gadgets, gizmos, and goodies that you literally just won’t find anywhere else. Best of all, everything is on the very, very cheap.

The first thing I ever got from Useful Things was the Posy Desktop Photo/Memo Holder you see pictured above. When I saw its price ($12.95), I kind of thought, “Uh oh, this is going to be a hot little mess,” but I was delighted to see that it’s not only very well made, it’s a knock out!

It’s perfect for showcasing pictures of loved ones, whether they’re sweethearts, kids, pets, or yourself. Whoever motivates you, inspires you, and makes you smile. My favorite use for mine is this: I like to put my most important To Do tasks on an index card – ones that are more like Gotta Dos than To Dos – and then I stick the index card into one of the slots.

No excuses then! It’s right there staring at me along with my cats’ smiling faces. This process has honestly helped a great deal, because you know how To Do lists are – they get misplaced, stuff gets piled up on them, you forget if this was yesterday’s list or last week’s (hey, it happens).

Find more Office Gifts at Useful Things.com. While on the site, check out the other “shops,” like the ones for the kitchen and the home. You’ll find them under the Shop Menu tab at the top. You’re going to love these, I guarantee it.

Speaking of love, three words: See Star Trek. Three more: Best Movie Ever.

Office Gadget for the Office Shark

Joi — Sat, 05 Nov 2005 15:54:28 +0000

Remember the post about What Your Office Decorations Are Saying to the World? We saw how the things in our office pretty much profile our personality. For example, Garfield figurines would indicate someone who loves to laugh and have a good time. Cubs merchandise would indicate a very patient, loyal soul who would LOVE to laugh and have a good time.

In October.

Just once.

Well, in keeping with this philosophy, I’ve found something you can get for your office’s biggest mouth this Christmas. Check out the dentally imposing SHARK BITE STAPLER.

You wouldn’t have to tell him or her any of the back story. But it’d sure be a good laugh each time you saw one shark using another.
