I am currently spending time with my kids who are off from school, so I am not working on any reviews right now. But I am working on some contests where I will be giving away a Smartshopper, and 2 Land's End products. One is for a women and the other will be the choice of the winner it can be a children’s P.J Set, women's or men's slippers. Be sure to be on the lookout for these contests coming for the New Year.
I am giving away the Sherpa Fleece again since the winner I choose did not respond so she forfeited her prize. Anyway we had an awesome Christmas and my kids and I were so excited with the presents we all received. Hubby was happy with his presents as well. I hope you all got everything you wanted and then some!

Smartshopper
By allkinds on Dec 16, 2008 | In Cooking, Food and Drink

Everyone does grocery shopping and most of us walk around with lists written on paper with what we need from the grocery store. Sometimes that can be a pain if you wrote something down and you are not sure what you wrote, or if you need to remember that you have a coupon for that item.
I really didn’t think there was a better way, that all changed when I tried the Smartshopper. The Smartshopper is a voice recognition grocery list organizer. You just push a button, say the name of the item you need to buy and it gets added to a list that you can print out and take with you to the store. The Smartshopper is programmed with over 2,500 items in its library, and you can even add stuff to the library if it’s not listed in the Smartshopper. The Smartshopper automatically organizes your list into categories and it also keeps track of errands. You can keep 2 separate lists at a time. This device’s internal thermal printer is ink free and it comes with 3 rolls of paper, a built in magnet so you can hang it on the refrigerator and it also has wall mounts (I have mine on the refrigerator), you also get a master list of the pre-loaded items.
I must say that love this device, but at first I was really frustrated, because I could not get it to list the items I wanted. I would say one thing and it would show me another. But after about a half hour I got it to recognize my voice. I took the list with me this past Friday and it was wonderful. I also have to mention that the Smartshopper also has the ability to flag coupons. Which means you can flag an item on your list that you have a coupon for. The Smartshopper will add a coupon icon next to the item.
Right now the Smartshopper is on sale for $79.99 and if you order now until the end of December you can have it shipped for free. Those of you who are interested in the Smartshopper can use the exclusive code HH28192 until December 31 to receive $5 off your order. YOU MUST ORDER BY DECEMBER 18TH TO GET IT IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS!

Great gift idea for that special guy
By allkinds on Dec 16, 2008 | In Gifts,Handmade and Personalized, Apparel and Shoes

Now just like I wrote in my previous post you still have time to whip together a great gift. Now it’s the guys turn, you can also make up a gift basket for that special guy. What guy does not want to look good? Now buy the gift basket, tissue paper and cellophane at the dollar store. You can also find razors, shaving cream there as well. Maybe throw in some sweets for your sweetie or what every he likes. But don’t forget to add a pair of Low Shearling Moc Slippers from Land’s End!
My husband loved these; he said it was like walking on clouds. He said they were so comfortable that he would even sleep in them. The reason why he said that was because it felt like you didn’t have anything on your feet. I have to agree they were very comfortable, when I put my feet in them. They are on sale right now for $36 the normal price is $45. The Slippers have 100% shearling lining, Soft sheepskin suede upper/leather trim, Padded footbed for walking comfort, Flexible; durable sole works indoors/outdoors. If you wear ½ sizes the best thing is to order the next size up.
And again you can get them by Christmas if you place your order by December 23rd.

Great gift idea for that special woman
By allkinds on Dec 16, 2008 | In Gifts,Handmade and Personalized, Apparel and Shoes

If you still don’t know what to get that special woman in your life, I have a great suggestion. Make her a spa gift basket, with very simple items and then adding that very special item like a Women's Regular Terry Travel Slippers with Bag from Land’s End.
Here’s how you do it, go to your nearest dollar store and buy a basket and some ribbons, tissue paper and cellophane. You can also find some spa items there like soap, bath pillow, body wash etc… Neatly put the tissue paper in the basket and add your items in it in a way that is appealing. Make sure you leave room in the middle to add the Terry Travel slippers. Wrap the basket with cellophane and tie it with a ribbon.
This will make a wonderful gift and you still have time to order the Women's Regular Terry Travel Slippers with Bag from Land’s End. Land’s End is giving you up to the 23rd to order in order to get them in time for Christmas. You can buy these slippers for $20 now regular price was $25. It’s available in 4 colors and you will receive monogrammable travel bag!
These slippers are very comfortable and I like to lounge around with them on after having a long day. The slippers are slip resistant and are made of terry cloth. What I like about slippers is that you can put them in the travel bag and take them with you when you go on vacation and they don’t take up a lot of room in your bag.
You can purchase these at the Land’s End Website. Or just click the link http://www.landsend.com
