Today, more and more people are turning to online stores for their shopping and other purchases. Instead of visiting department stores and merchandise outlets, shoppers now choose to just browse and scroll from the comfort of their own homes. I love being able to shop in my pajamas!
And with everything from clothes, appliances, televisions and furniture, up to more luxurious purchases like car accessories, gadgets and smartphones available online, shopping has never been easier. Aside from the convenience online shopping provides, the prices are also often cheaper compared to a physical store’s price. Best of all, the selection is almost always better as well, since the items available don’t have to be physically stocked in-store!
But the one thing that online shopping doesn’t offer is the ability to actually check out a product firsthand. When it comes to expensive items, being able to see, feel, touch and sometimes hear the product can make all the difference when it comes to taking the plunge on a big-ticket item. The best online deal can still cause hesitation if a shopper is worried about product quality. [Read more…]
There are lots of businesses that offer custom t-shirt printing and recently I had a chance to review a promotional shirt from 
When I was given the chance to review an item from any of CSN Stores’ over 200 websites, I knew from past experience that I had to have some direction before I started. I pondered and browsed the website before finally deciding that I wanted something great for my kitchen. Our old chopping board was definitely showing some signs of wear (my husband using it to punch snaps onto his vest had something to do with its current state) and the selection of cutting boards at CSN Stores was so incredible that I knew I would be able to find something that would fit my requirements. When I found the Ginsu 7″ Stainless Santoku Knife with Cutting Board Set, I knew I had found what I was looking for.
The only part of the design that is in any way awkward is the fact that when I wash the cutting board, I have to be careful to keep the water away from the knife slot. I definitely don’t want to risk damaging the board or my knife so I find I have to be very careful to keep the space out of the water. It’s a small price to pay for such a great kitchen accessory though, and since most of the time I can just wipe the cutting board with a damp cloth it really isn’t too much of an inconvenience.
The CLEANCut Touchless Paper Towel Dispenser is a quick, easy and economical way to dispense a perfect amount of paper towel whenever the need arises. I received the CLEANCut in black to review. The dispenser is designed to mount on the bottom of your kitchen cupboards for the ultimate space-saving convenience. I read through the instructions to be sure that I knew exactly how to install the unit.
Aside from the obvious convenience of the CLEANCut, it is also an incredibly economical appliance. The roll of paper towel I put into the machine lasted for over one week, far longer than I was accustomed to, and for those that use paper towel frequently, the CLEANCut saves up to 208 rolls per year!
With two children in the house the challenge is even greater, and for the longest time I didn’t even consider renting a movie or trying to watch some of my favorite television shows because of the children. But then 
We only once had an issue where a movie stopped playing, and when we received a message that our Internet connection had slowed down and Netflix was adjusting the system accordingly to avoid future freezes, we waited patiently…for about two minutes. Then my husband decided to just exit the movie screen and go back to the main page. He was able to see the latest movie that he had watched, click on it, and restart it at the exact moment that it had stopped playing, all thanks to Netflix’s very user-friendly system!
He sometimes succeeds and sometimes doesn’t, but one of the activities which both boys seem to enjoy doing together is coloring. They will sit happily on the floor pulling crayons out of a basket and scribbling in books for almost an hour without a word of complaint, and the sight of them working side by side is just heart-warming. The only downside is that since Benjamin is still so young, he does tend to break his brother’s crayons fairly often. So when I was given a chance to review some of the beautiful custom recycled crayons carried by gaddy nipper crayons, I leapt at the chance.
The company also carries custom crayons shaped like bricks, ladybugs, footballs, racecars, princesses, and almost any other fun shape you can think of! All of the company’s unique and beautiful crayons are handmade using only Crayola® brand crayons for the best and brightest colors. Any child would be sure to love a set of gaddy nipper crayons, and they would make a sensational party favor for a child’s birthday or group windup as well.
