Halloween – Ghoulish Goodies

Posted October 28th, 2009

Halloween is just around the corner and I’ve picked out a few goodies for the kids in your life.

The number one priority for us parents is to keep the little ones safe while running around in the dark – so lighting is key. Of course flashlights are an easy way to let people know you’re coming, but now there are all kinds of cool looking ones available like little kitties, flower wands and even tigers (some of which are below). Kids can even light up those little fingers with cool finger lights or add reflectors to costumes.

Now that they’re all lit up, let’s keep track of ‘em. We can keep tabs on their whereabouts a few ways, both include attaching a device to the child. The first is called the Loc8tor and it’s a tracking device for household items like keys, the remote or your cell phone. On Halloween night you can take one of the 4 tabs and attach it to the child’s costume. If all of the sudden you notice someone’s missing simply press the location button for the assigned tab on the handheld device and the screen will show an arrow pointing towards the tab. A beeping noise along with the arrow will lead you to them. If you’re not the parent walking with the kids but still want to know where they are? A child locator GPS enabled device will allow you to pull up an online map and literally watch where the kids are scoring their loot.

Lastly here are a few more cool treats for the scariest night of the year.

A hot glue gun that casts webs while decorating. It instantly adds that spooky feeling to any home. If you’re looking for a quick fix to get the decor up in a hurry or don’t want to hang anything, check out a decoration projector that flashes spooky images on the side of your house. Having a party? These Jello molds are shaped like different icky looking body parts and once you add different colored Jello to them they make the perfect trick or treat!

Here are some links to examples of ghoulish goodies – have fun!

Makes You Wonder…..

Posted October 16th, 2009

Have you ever wondered how fashion editors are able to identify trends before they become mainstream? Many do it on instinct alone, but imagine if they could tap into a community the size of eBay’s to see what people were searching for and buying to back up those instincts? It would certainly be an innovative [...]

The Readout on eReaders

Posted October 13th, 2009

When the Kindle hit the market two years ago people went nuts. The concept of being able to pick numerous ebooks from a bank of over 350,000 titles and store them in a single book looking device that has a paper-esque screen was pretty awesome to book worms. Several manufactures wanted in and [...]

Chanel Goes Country

Posted October 12th, 2009

As many of you know, country is cool. Country music superstars like Keith Urban, Kenny Chesney, Sugarland, and my personal favorite, Taylor Swift are bonafide chart toppers. But did you ever think that country and couture would mix—and I don’t just mean embellished outfits with sequins and rhinestones. Well, Mr. Karl Lagerfeld certainly does. At [...]
