Fab Gift Idea: Get Threadless Tees for Just $9.99

by Lisa on December 12th, 2011

We included a few items from Threadless in our 2011 Holiday Gift Guide. I live in Chicago and I’ve been a fan/supporter of this Chicago-based company almost since Day 1. Threadless tees are super high quality and the designs – the majority of which are submitted by normal people like you and me – are super cute.

Off the Resevoir Threadless Tee

I love the Threadless spin on the movie Reservoir Dogs! This Off The Reservoir Tee normally costs $20, but thanks to this sale it is $9.99.

Haikus Are Easy, But Sometimes..

This Haikus Are Easy But Sometimes… Tee has long been a favorite of mine.  Story time: My first job after moving to Chicago was a real snoozer of a job. It was just awful. We were editing textbooks. 5th grade textbooks. zzzz…. We weren’t allowed to be on the internetz, so my coworker and I entertained ourselves by writing Haikus back and forth and passing them over the walls over our cube. I know, that doesn’t sound so fun but it’s all we had. Anyhow, I got this shirt for that coworker and she loved it. Normally $20, it’s now $9.99.

Threadless is guaranteeing delivery by December 24, so a Threadless tee could be a great gift for many people on your list.

All $9.99 are marked accordingly. No coupon is necessary. Offer is only valid through the end of the day tomorrow, December 13, 2011.

3. Ben Sherman Eau de Parfum – Nordstrom – $55

I would love for my guy to smell like “bergamot, tangerine, lemon, cardamom, lime, and mint.”  Enough said.

4. St. Louis Cardinals Tie – ABC Neckties – $25

No worries if your guy isn’t a St. Louis Cardinals Fan.  ABC Neckties has many different sports ties, and the reason I like theirs is that they’re not obnoxiously obvious.

Ultra lightweight, greaseless, SPF20, and travel-sized.  This might be the perfect moisturizer.

Fab Gift Idea: The Sound of Music Limited Edition DVD Gift Set

by Lisa on October 17th, 2011

The Sound of Music Gift setThe Sound of Music just might be one of my favorite movies of all time.  I remember a few years back that I decided to watch it and had such a good time singing through all the songs that I put it back on and watched it again.  That’s right – I had nothing better to do than watch 8 hours of Julie Andrews singing her way through Austria.  It was awesome.  Also – the only full episode of Oprah I’ve ever watched is when she had the full cast reunite.  It might have gotten a little weepy in my house.

If you know someone that would thrill from having this The Sound of Music (45th Anniversary Blu-ray/DVD Combo Limited Edition) Gift Set, hurry on over to Amazon now because this is one of the Gold Deals of the Day. Normally $89.99, it’s just $32.99 today.
