It's the middle of winter, and much of the nation has been in the grips of a brutal cold snap. So we think now is the perfect time to bring a little color into your life with the Rainbow in My Room projector. This nifty gadget projects a glorious rainbow across your walls and ceiling and turns any room into a happier place. Rainbow in My Room uses a variety of multi-colored LEDs to create the arc of colors and also features a window prism disk for real daytime rainbows. 

And let us just say that while kids of all ages love Rainbow in My Room, we have ours set up in our offices and all the grown-ups love it! So say goodbye to those winter doldrums and add a little color to your dreary winter day!

Perfumed candles flickering, lock the door and start the music, softly. Dim the lamps. Slip your shoes and stockings off, and slowly unbutton . . . Whew -- is it steamy in here, or is it us? No, this isn’t the beginning of a romance novel – but it could be the start of something even better – your bath!

Everybody appreciates pampering now and then, and a long, luxurious bath need not be an expensive extravagance. It may even be a necessity. Enhance your bathing experience with the Taymor Bath Caddy, which includes a removable, adjustable reading rack (for above romance novel!), loofah scrubber, pumice stone, mesh body sponge, and nail brush.

A luxurious bath is whatever you need it to be. Ease a hangover, relax after a hard day or cozy up with your sweety -- a soak in the tub will wash away your cares. Get those taps running, light the candles and pile your Taymore Caddy with everything you might need. Lie back and take it easy. Your bathroom is magically transformed into a haven of healing and relaxation for the body, the mind and the spirit.

Sometimes the solution to a problem can be a problem itself. Breaking an arm is a problem, so is walking around with a cast for six weeks. Changing a ceiling light bulb is a problem, so is climbing a precarious 20-foot ladder to do it. That’s how we feel about mice, rats, rodents and other pests. Yuck and double yuck! Crawly things around the house are a horrible problem, and up to now, the solution hasn’t been much fun either. We’re talking about shelling a lot of bucks out to call in a guy who will spray nasty chemicals around the house, worrisome exposure to kids, foods and pets.

That’s why we are excited by Riddex Pulse Digital Pest Repellent. This product uses patented digital pulse technology to transform the wiring in your house into an invisible pest repellent field. It’s easier, it’s cleaner, it’s safer and, so important in these tough times, you will save hundreds of dollars a year.

Just plug in the marvelous Riddex Pulse, and you will immediately create an irritating environment for pests inside your walls. They will skedaddle now, and Riddex Pulse will also help to prevent future pests from taking up residence. This product has already sold more than a million units, and after using it, you’ll quickly understand why.

Digital technology has revolutionized just about every aspect of our existence, and it is no surprise pet eradication joins the long list of fields welcoming new, modern technology. Out with the old smelly, bothersome sprayed chemicals and in with Riddex Pulse!

Once in a while a simple product comes along that changes your life in a small, but noticeably good way, and that’s how we feel about both of these bath products from eBubbles - one of our new favorites!

Soapy Soles Foot Scrubber
If you’re not terribly happy about twisting and balancing on one foot on a slippery surface to scrub your feet, Soapy Soles Foot Scrubber is the bath and shower tool for you! It’s the safest, easiest and cleanest way to make each foot a cheerful sole. Add a little shower gel and drag each foot over and back across Soapy Soles, and then in circles – creating a little foot massage with the Soapy “fingers.” Your feet will be so grateful that they’ll stop grumbling and complaining immediately. Afterward, rinse your pretty pastel Soapy Soles and stick it to the side of tub or shower for drip-dry and storage.

Skin Polishing Towel
We call it “Buffy.” This Skin Polishing Towel lathers luxuriously with a drop or two of your favorite shower gel. And the result is a glowing and polished you! It’s big enough to exfoliate that hard-to-reach back area, or you can bunch it up and use it like a sponge for all-over squeaky scrubbing. It beefs up circulation, but it’s easily tolerated by sensitive skin – it's even gentle enough for your face. We like this towel much better than washcloths or loofahs, and it does a much better job than an unwieldy bath brush. Forget about those little follicle bumps on your forearms, because the Skin Polishing Towel clears them right up! We think this nifty towel will make a great stocking stuffer...

Trying to coax a few more good years out of that mattress? That was a challenge we faced here at It’s Good Stuff. Yes, we would love one of those $5500 memory foam mattress sets…but, you know, “champagne thirst on a beer budget.” So, we opted for a more realistic and affordable solution to our chronic stiffness and discomfort upon rising from bed each morning. 

The Sleep Better Visco Elastic Memory Foam Mattress Topper proved to be just what we needed. This innovative mattress topper is designed to reduce nighttime tossing and turning by contouring to the body and relieving pressure points. It features temperature-smart, open-cell foam that breathes freely to facilitate air circulation and keep the body cool. The material is hypo-allergenic and can be spot-cleaned. And, did we mention, the topper is made in the good ol’ USA? We found the creases and slight odor disappeared within 24 hours of unpacking (we left it on the floor of the guest room for two days before sleeping on it).  

Oh my, what a difference! Until we hit the lottery and can afford that $5500 model, we are more than satisfied. We are still the same age in the morning…we just feel 10 years younger!

When you come across children's furniture of this quality and imaginative design, it is never too early to shop for the holiday season! This Safari Table with 4 (not the typical 2) safari animal chairs is made of high quality Russian Birch and sturdy hardware…and it will provide the perfect environment for hours of jungle adventure for preschoolers. Whether drawing, writing, playing or eating, that preschooler will be in good company…of the animal kingdom variety.  The animals, including a zebra, a lion, an elephant and a giraffe, are sure to delight any preschooler (recommended for ages 3+).  

Get a head start on your holiday shopping list (don’t even tell us if you are just finishing up!) These “safari buddies” will become family heirlooms…after years of service to every preschooler in your family.

Just think about it. You have insurance on your home, you have insurance on your car, you even have insurance on yourself! So why not subscribe to a program that immediately takes away the worry and concern about what to do when the air conditioning system breaks down or the refrigerator goes dark?

That’s the idea behind 24-7 Home Warranty, a company whose guiding principle is “deliver more than you promise.” There are three programs available, including everything-under-the-roof coverage to less comprehensive but still valuable Home Appliance coverage. Under the 24/7 program that lives up to its 24-hour a day, seven days a week promise, your next home breakdown will be taken care of by one of 24,000  pre-screened, licensed repair professionals.

Here’s how it works: There are three one-year plans available. No home inspection is required. Household system components and appliances are covered regardless of age, make or model. And here’s the clincher, if a covered item can’t be fixed, 24-7 will replace it.

There is a lot of stuff to worry about in these hectic days. Just getting through the day with its deadlines, challenges, and workplace stresses is plenty for anyone to worry about. Add to that the bummer of a heater that won’t heat or a refrigerator that won’t cool and it becomes just a little too much. 24-7 Home Warranty takes care of those problems with service day or night. For most people, their home represents the largest single investment they will make. Taking care of that investment just makes good sense.

Are your family members dragging their feet about getting involved in recycling? Let Suncast Recycle Bin Kit help. These heavy plastic, stackable bins are the perfect solution for getting everyone to pitch in. The lids open easily and wide enough for large items like milk jugs, without ever having to remove the top. Even the smallest of recyclers will find easy front access through the flap.

These spacious bins are bright-beyond-cheerful and color-coded. They eliminate litter and truly make pitching in fun for everyone! The entire kit takes up very little space and eliminates the need to clutter the kitchen with piles of empty jars, bottles and cans.

The three bins are so handy and attractive that you may opt for another set and begin to separate plastics, aluminum, tin, paper, newspapers and plastics bags. Beyond recycling, there are jillions of other possible uses for these handy-dandy containers: gardening (dirt, compost, tools), toy containers in the kids’ rooms, pets (food and kitty litter), organized storage in the basement – just to name a few.

When you order the Suncast Recycle Bin Kit, your only regret will be that you didn't do it sooner!
