Virtual Yard Sales

The last time I held a yard sale I swore that I would never, ever do that again and by golly I meant it. There is so much time and work involved in pulling off a good prosperous yard sale, garage sale, lawn sale, moving sale, or what ever you want to call the reselling of your unwanted personal items to the general public.

Just collecting the stuff, cleaning and fixing what needs to be done in order to get $ for it and then having to figure out what price to charge and put a price tag on each and every piece of merchandise is enough to through me over the edge. You have to be careful on what type of price tag to use and where to put it in order to not damage the item and reduce the value just because the placement of the right type of price tag wasn’t thought out. I know I am a bit OCD when it comes to things like that but we all have our quirks right?

Dealing with the public is another issue. The early birds that come to get the best deal are a real pain in the neck. All you want to do is get your stuff out there and set up and you have these people digging around and asking you questions! And then there is the clean up and figuring out where to put all the stuff you didn’t sell, ugh.

It’s no wonder more people are turning to the Internet for deals at various virtual yard sales and other websites other than eBay and Craigslist.

Panton Chairs

After I wrote my last post that was suggesting the use of the now popular Panton Chairs – I started thinking that I should take a look at what types of Panton Chairs and other furniture  are available today. I found some wonderful websites and gained a good amount of knowledge about this space aged look type of chair. I would love to try one out and see how comfortable they are. I love the look, but with furniture I must insist on sitting on it, if that is what it was intended to be used for!

These are so abstract and the colors (and believe me there are plenty of other colors available as well) are so brilliant. They just seem to cheer me up. Check out and tell me what you think about these chairs and/or any of the other wonder products that they have there that have me so excited.

Toddler Room: Panton Chair, Toys and More

Do you have a kid who is starting to learn how to play games? Do you plan on building a playroom just for him to enjoy? Are you having problems on what to place inside this room once it is finished? If your answer to all these questions is a resounding yes, then you should continue reading.

In any type of room, proper furniture and fixtures should be placed to add life and beauty to the room. The same is the case when developing a toddler’s room for your child or children. Here are some of the objects which should be present inside the room:

  • Toys – These things should always be present inside the playroom. Aside from the fact that they are the primary entertainment of your kids, they also keep them busy while you are doing the dishes or ironing the clothes. However, you have to make sure that you only place those toys which have been certified safe for children.
  • Coloring materials – According to research, there are two main activities which children do inside a playroom – play or color. Once they get tired of playing, they will look for another activity that looks fun but does not require as much energy as playing does.
  • Books – If your child has already reached five or six years old, it would greatly help him if you would include some educational books to entertain him. Make sure to spend some quality time with him every once in a while.
  • Panton chair – A room would not be complete without a decent and quality piece of furniture that your kids can sit on. This particular chair is not only safe, but also comes in different colors.
  • Mat – A playing mat or foam is vital in any playroom. If possible, it should cover the entire floor area of the room to keep your kids away from injuries due to excessive playing.
  • Air conditioner – Of course, you would want your child to feel comfortable whenever he goes to the playroom. If this is not possible, two electric fans would do.
  • Miniature playground – This is definitely not a requirement, but if you can afford it, then make sure you provide it. You may place a small seesaw, swing, and slide inside the room to keep your child and his friends busy.

These are just some of the objects, things and pieces of furniture which you should include inside your child’s playroom the moment it is finished. Among all these factors, the Panton chair may be one of the most crucial. Getting a sturdy and stable chair is very important to avoid accidents and other untoward incidents.

This specific chair design has been developed several decades ago, yet it has still managed to become popular in this time and age. Sporting a future and space theme, the Panton chair is a chair that will definitely get the attention of kids. And because it has a unibody design, you would not need to worry about creaking parts and features which get damaged easily.

Gift Cards!!!

I really love how gift cards have become so popular for people to use and receive as presents these days. I managed to receive a nice little bundle of them this year and look forward to using them for things that I find and want. I love the challenge of researching and comparing products online. It beats the heck out of going out and dealing with all the issues that go along with shopping and believe me I have a lot of issues with shopping. I’ve become so spoiled by the Internet that I just don’t see the need to go out when I can stay in and get much better deals, better service and a whole lot bigger selection online.

I have a few items that I will be looking into soon, some new linens and bedding for my new mattress is definitely in order. I’ve been waiting for after Christmas see what selections are reduced. From Clothes to Home Furnishings and Decor, there are just a massive amount of savings to be found with having Internet access, you gotta love it! I use ShopWiki.com a lot and would urge anyone into checking them out when venturing out there.

Flat Panel Stands

Hubby and I had recently gotten married and have finally moved into a home we can call our own. We have all of the furniture, pictures and décor up, but are lacking on flat panel stands for our new TV’s we have accumulated over the last couple years together, and a wall mount for my daughter’s TV. A few family members have offered to give us a table or something nice to put them on, but we want to buy a new mount and stands.

I searched throughout all the stores around town to compare prices but didn’t find anything that fits our taste or our budget. I came to the conclusion that I might be able to find something I’m looking for a little easier online. I took a night to search around the net and it didn’t take me long to find some awesome deals for some outstanding stands and mounts for our TV’s at a unbelievably great price.

I ordered 2 flat panel stands and one wall mount, and shipping was absolutely free! When they arrived at our home, we couldn’t have been any happier to set them up and finally put our TV’s to good use. We are all very thrilled to have home completely done up and ready for us to spend a great deal of time together in and enjoy all the years ahead.

Popular Birthday Months

With some of the tax money that I have finally gotten back from the IRS I will be able to purchase a few birthday gifts that are needed for the busy birthday month of May. May and September are popular months for so many of my friends and family for some reason. With the month of March coming in third place. I didn’t have much cash (and I’m not using my credit cards for presents) in March, so it will feel good to be able to have a few bucks to make sure that the folks that celebrate their birthday in May will be happy with me this year.

My brother has been talking about position indicators, so I thought I would look around online and see what is out there. My mother is hinting at needing new drinking glasses. I have all ready found the perfect ones that I am going to order this weekend. My niece is a whole different issue. I still can’t figure out the perfect gift for her. Tweens are so difficult to buy for. Besides she is spoiled rotten and is given any and every thing that she needs and wants. One of lives many challenges when it comes to buying appropriate gifts that will be appreciated.

Today’s Gift Baskets, A Great Gift Idea!

I’ve come up with a perfect gift giving idea to present my manager with at work on Friday. She is turning fifty and we have been planning a surprise party for her for the past several weeks, it should be a blast. Surprise parties are the best, especially when they really turn out to be a real surprise, which I think we have been able to pull off so far.

My manager and her husband are the proud parents of a new baby girl, so they don’t get to go out as often as they are used to being able to do, so I found a great selection of movie gift baskets on the Internet that I think will really float her boat and that they will both enjoy together.

She had the baby shortly before Mother’s Day, so we all started looking online at some nice Mothers day gift baskets to take over to her (being the new mom and all) and her new family, which was a big hit and earned us all brownie points, it was a success and  worked out real well. She is a great lady and we want to keep her happy, which will keep us all happy in the long run.

Plastic Surgery

It is amazing what cosmetic surgeons can do with a body these days. One day I would really like to get a nose jog. Nothing major, just a little minor adjustment so that I wouldn’t be so self conscience about it for the rest of my life. My whole family has nose issues, so I got mine honestly, but it doesn’t mean that I have to like it.

I’ve been looking at some Before and After Photos online lately, trying to get my courageup and getting some ideas and price ranges. The Internet makes something like this a much simpler task and it has an educational as well as entertaining experience thus far.

Printed Envolopes Discovery

It hurts the whole family to see my mother and stepfather’s business going under worse and worse with each coming month. They have an appointment with a lawyer to discuss their options and bankruptcy is one of the options that is leaving a bad taste in everyone’s mouth. My mother worked her fingers to the bone for their mail and packaging store, before their health started declining and of course the economy being still in such turmoil has made it all too much for her to handle much more of.

I have been going down to their store for the past couple of months at least once a week to help out in any numerous ways that are needed. I’m real good at getting other peoples stuff sorted and organized, so I have been doing as much as that as I can. I have been discovering things that I had no idea about and stuff that they had completely forgotten about throughout the years. I found two boxes of their envelope prints that they got such a good deal online a few years about and then forgot all about, so now that I have uncovered them they are thinking of ways to put them to good use as soon as possible.

Womens Ski Jackets

A few months ago, a girlfriend of mine I work with was thinking about both of us going to Maine for a week for the past year or so, and stay at a ski resort and learn how to ski and or snowboard together. I thought it was a great idea, we were both in need of a vacation after a long hard year. We did come across a problem while planning our vacation though. Both of us needed a warm, thick, but stylish ski jackets, but neither of us knew where we could find any Womens Ski Jackets at a good price. So both of us took a night off after work from our busy lives, to sit down at the computer and search the net to see if we could come across any deals or good buys.

It didn’t take long at all for us to find the perfect site that we both really liked. Neither of us could decide which jacket to pick, they were all such great quality for such an awesome price.  We ended up randomly picking one they suited both of our personalities. It was immediately shipped to our homes and when I opened my package I was amazed at how nice it really was. We were both very satisfied with the results of our search. Our new jackets kept us warm and cozy couldn’t be any happier with our choice of ski jackets for us awesome trip to Maine and long after.
