Talk to the Hand – It’s For You

By Jan Carroll

Twenty years ago when someone was walking down the street talking to themselves, it would cause apprehension as it could be a sign this person was ‘off’ a bit and perhaps should be avoided. Now, we don’t think twice about someone walking chortling merrily along having a conversation with an invisible person. With the proliferation of ear-buds, and blue tooth headsets on mobile phones, conversations can occur easily with no phone device in obvious evidence.

And who hasn’t seen someone on the street, on TV or in a movie use the “Universal” gesture for “let’s connect by phone” or “call me” or “talk soon”… You know the one… It’s kind of like the Vulcan “Live Long and Prosper” hand gesture from Star Trek.

Well now, thanks to the wonders of modern technology, they may actually be talking on the phone, not just talking to themselves! You’ll probably see lots of different hand movements,.

When It Comes To Gift Giving Never Forget Your Much Loved Pet

By Jan Carroll

This is a very personal post.

A pet is a very important part of the family. In some cases a pet may be the only family they have. In other cases the pet is part of the whole family. In all cases we love our pet(s) and want to give them all we can for a healthy and joyful life.

On January 5, 2012 our much loved 18 year old cat KC died. It broke our hearts and still is difficult to deal with even a year later. On such a difficult anniversary I wanted to share some things I think KC would have loved.

Whether you give a toy to your pet, a fence to keep them safe, the best food products, a special bed to keep them warm, please take the time to spoil your pet.

I wish I still had her with me so I could give her everything to make her happy, including my hugs and kisses (oh how she loved the belly kisses I gave her, though she would never admit it LOL).

Share your love with your pet, in all ways, while you can. You can find unique pet items here

I miss you KC…

New Year, New You, A New Year Gift

By Jan Carroll

We all know that one of the biggest New Year’s resolutions is getting fit. We also know that it may only last a month, week, or less at a gym.

But what about something you, or a January birthday gift recipient, could use at home that will help you get fit easily. Here it is!

The Foldaway Resistance Gym

The Foldaway Resistance Gym

This is the resistance exercise machine that provides a total body workout. Combining the strength building capability of several bulkier machines, this deceivingly comprehensive trainer uses three sets of interchangeable elastic bands of increasing resistance to enable 50 different exercises for arms, back, shoulders, legs, and abdominals.

This is not only great for those just starting an exercise regimen, but great for seniors who have limited mobility.

It includes an instructional workout guide and a DVD for a structured exercise regimen. This is a great present for someone’s birthday who is starting a fitness program, or a senior who you know this would help them get stronger and healthier.

Close Encounter With Commando Rock Star

By Jan Carroll

If you have read my profile you know I worked in retail for a long time. I started in Big Steel back in Winnipeg in the late ’70’s.

Here’s a funny story.

A very well known rock band came into the store looking for outfits they could wear at a big concert they were doing. They found one piece jumpsuits that they all agreed would work for them. We had them in stock but they had to be altered. Most of them were just pant leg hems, but one guy needed the suit let out a tad at the top of the legs.

So I asked him to go into the dressing room and went and got the seamstress. I explained that he would need it let out in the legs so she would have to cut them open and measure and pin to fit.

I stood outside the fitting room as she started to work. Very shortly after that I heard a scream and she came running out.

She looked horrified.

I asked her what was wrong. As she stood shaking she said that the man in the dressing room had no underwear on and… to try and pin the pant legs she would have to ‘move’ some things. The woman, of course, was clearly uncomfortable and I told her she didn’t have to do it but it was a very big coo for the store.

After talking to her for a great length of time she went back into the dressing room and did the work.

I she think was traumatized for life. The ‘commando’ band member wasn’t fazed a bit. The Winnipeg rock band went away happy.

So the moral of the story is, if you are going to get fitted, whether a rock band or not, make sure you are wearing underwear.

Speaking of underwear I have some Dandy for you and I hope you won’t go commando and spare the seamstress 🙂

What To Give Someone You Love On Heart Day

By Jan Carroll

Make Valentine’s Day the best it has ever been for your love!

Expressing your love to your girl friend, wife, boy friend, husband, partner, or a family is important on ‘love day’. It’s important to show everyone we love that we love them, on this day, and every day

We sure know that is true.

So what do you give them? A phone call, a visit, or a gift?

How about all of them.

Valentine’s Day is only one day a year, and it is to show your love, but it doesn’t have to be just one day.

But one day can mean a lot to your loved one!

If you take the time to send your loved on a gift, give them a call, or even visit can change the relationship in so many ways. It shows them, and tells them, you care, and that gesture can last a lifetime.

I have created a great Valentine’s Day gift page you will love.

Expect the unexpected on this page here.

p.s. Do take the time to remember those who are alone, whether through divorce, or widowed. Reach out to them and give them a smile, or more, that they will always remember. Make this day special for them. They will appreciate it and you will have made their day better.

Gifts For Men Who Are Dog People

By Jan Carroll

Don’t let the title fool you. I don’t mean men act like dogs, although Billy, my better half, has told men are quite a bit like dogs (that’s another subject 🙂

When I talk about gifts for dog guys I mean there is a certain personality that likes dogs more than cats. Their dogs are their best buddies, they rough house, play Frisbee, go for walks, do most things together outside of work. These are men who love company and don’t like to be alone. Highly gregarious and sociable, even their ‘I need my space’ time alone is shared with their dog.

And that’s your clue to what kind of gift they might like. Dog people are more likely to enjoy social types of presents that brings groups of men together, or just groups of people together.

Here are some ideas:

Foldaway Bag Toss Game

This is the wooden bag toss game that folds to less than 1/10 of its setup size for compact storage and convenient portability.

Each board is constructed similarly to a camping table from 10 solid pine planks held together by strong elastic bands. It assembles in just five minutes without tools and folds to just 35 1/2″ L x 6″ W x 2 1/2″ D to easily stow in a vehicle’s trunk or back seat for tailgating tournaments.

Unlike flimsy plastic boards, the sturdy wood scoring surface won’t flex or wobble, ensuring consistent game play. A protective finish prevents water damage and warping.

Includes eight regulation-size 6″ square bean bags and carrying bag.

Instant Badminton Court

This is the freestanding badminton set that instantly creates a court on a lawn, driveway, beach, or any flat surface.

Requiring no tools for setup, the PVC net support extends from its carrying case/base and the nylon net simply slips on to create a regulation-height 11 1/2′ wide court.

The net comes apart as easily as it assembles and all components store neatly in the zippered nylon carrying case.

Includes four rackets and two high-visibility shuttlecocks.

Hey, get him something for his furry best buddy too! They’ll both love you for that! Check them out here!

Dog people are more likely to enjoy social types of gifts so keep in mind outdoor items.

She Loves Shoes But I Am Lost

By Jan Carroll

I hear it all the time that men want to buy shoes as a present for the woman they love but have not idea what type of shoe to buy.

Well that is where I come in.

But before it get into that let me tell you a shoe, well actually a boot story.

I had my big toe broken and had to walk around in sandals for months. Luckily it was during the late summer but as fall arrived I had to put heavy socks on with the sandals.

Now, at this time I was working in the fashion industry so this was not the best look!

In the late fall I went out and found leather boots I loved. I couldn’t wear them but I was so thrilled to buy them knowing that soon I would be able to wear them.

And wear them I did, for years.

These boots went through many snow falls, rains storms, resouls (so many times I cannot remember) and I stilled loved them.

I finally had to give them up. When I did I found so many more that were so right and beyond.

So for you looking to find footwear gifts for her I have gone out and found shoes that I am sure she will love. I have them listed in two places.

1. Personally picked shoe gifts here

2. Fabulous Fashion shoes gifts here

Different pages, different styles, when I see shoes or boots I love I am sure she will love them too.

As I have mentioned before, if you are not sure whether to buy here high heels, flats, runners, etc., have a look in her closet and see what shoes she wears most or what type are in her closet. As far as size, take a look inside the shoes that she has and that will tell you.
