Today I’m sharing six practical gift ideas for women as a kick off to the holiday shopping season. I know practicality may seem a little boring, but as a woman that receives and gives my share of gifts each year, I can attest to the excitement of receiving something I need and will use.

in , , , , , by Linda A Kinsman, Monday, March 04, 2024

Happy March friends! Did you know that March 23rd is National Puppy Day? I found this out while I was researching good gift ideas for big pups, because now that my daughter has a fenced-in backyard, she and her boyfriend are planning a big pup sleepover at their house and I get to spend time with them! I couldn’t show up empty-handed, and as luck would have it, I was offered some useful dog supplies I’m excited to share. I even have a fun pup movie giveaway!

10 No Tech Holiday Gift Ideas Sure To Please

in , , , , , , by Linda A Kinsman, Monday, November 13, 2023

In an effort to not rush headlong into everything Christmas, I waited until I knew most people had started holiday shopping, or at the very least, asking for their loved ones' gift lists. This year has found me enjoying offline hobbies and events, which led me to compile 10 no tech holiday gift ideas sure to please most adults on your list. This is a switch from my previous holiday gift idea lists because I’m not covering kids' gifts. As an almost empty nester, it’s going to be a few years before I need to shop for little ones again.

 When the calendar turns to May, I shop for Mother’s Day gifts. I try to keep ideas for the extraordinary ladies in my life all year round so I don’t have to rely on last-minute options. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve never met a Mom who didn’t like being remembered, but if you want to move on from books, scarves, and chocolates, take note of the five Mother’s Day Gift ideas in today’s post. I think she’ll find them delightful.

Winter has us in its grip this week and has covered a large portion of the US in snow and ice, so to combat the bad weather, I’m focusing on the fun of Valentine’s day gift giving! My shopping style has changed now that my daughters are older. It’s not all hearts and candies (although, I still love giving and receiving those). Now, I look for gifts beyond the candy aisle!  I’ve found four cute and clever Valentine's Day  gift ideas for the whole family to share with you today.

I normally like to share reviews on films one at a time, but with the holidays and a new award season rapidly approaching, I'm playing a little catch up by sharing eight recently watched 2022 films with you today, which hopefully, can help you decide if they are worth watching or gifting. I've tried to make each a no spoiler review.

For all who celebrated Easter,  I hope you had a wonderful day. Easter to me, is the beginning of the spring get together season. From Easter dinner, to simple family movie and game nights to pot-luck family style dinners, this is the season to welcome all to our home. 


One way I love to welcome my family and friends here in any season, but especially now, is with the delightful aroma of fresh baked bread, but with warmer weather calling me outdoors, I can’t always find the time to make our family favorite, sourdough bread from scratch. Thankfully, I’ve found the perfect Sourdough Bread Delivery Subscription box for Mother's Day and beyond.

The last week of November flew by me in a blur and now I’m welcoming in December with my last official holiday gift ideas list. I had a couple of other gift list ideas I had planned to share, but sadly, packages didn’t arrive in time. Today’s Gift Ideas for gardening Enthusiasts is a favorite of mine. If you’ve read my blog, or followed me on social media, you know I adore flowers, herbs, and nature, so I’ve tried to cover a wide range of gift ideas.

Happy October my friends! Are you ready for all the seasonal goodness that Autumn brings? I sure am. One of my favorite things to do when the seasons change is switching out my dishes and glassware along with my home decor  I love using fun seasonal coffee mugs, festive dinner and serving plates and of course my glassware gets an update too. I was delighted when I was asked if I’d like to learn more about Neutrall, a woman led, Austin TX. Based company making cute and eco-friendly glassware you didn’t know you wanted until you saw them.

What’s your favorite Star Wars movie? When I’m asked this question, usually on May 4th, I reply I can’t choose a favorite and I stand by that. I love so many of the Star Wars characters, from both the new movies and the classics! Imagine my delight when I learned that Cratejoy has a Star Wars monthly subscription box! I’m geeking out over here and thought I’d share this cool find too.

Around this time each year, my husband and daughters start asking for gift ideas for Mother’s Day.

Happy June everyone! I’ve been a little quiet around here because we are in starting a major home renovation project. We had a water leak in the kitchen overnight that led to water damage in roughly half our home! Everything from flooring to cabinets will need to be replaced, so I’ve decided to share the process here on the blog. Today though, I want to start a new tradition here on the blog- gift guides! Brands have been asking me for years if I do then, so I decided to seize the day and start with Father’s Day! I’m sharing three smart and useful gift ideas I think the men in your life will love.

Need a cool gift idea? Check out Groupon!

in , , , , , by Linda A Kinsman, Monday, April 11, 2016
Shopping for friends and family can be a lot of fun- if you know the person’s likes, or have a general theme in mind. For instance, if you know your brother loves golfing, you can find a golf related gift easily. But what if you need a gift and you have no clue what to buy? Sometimes, you can simply run out of gift ideas for a particular person. We had this problem with a family member recently. We were stymied as to what we could buy. Then we logged into Groupon and found several cool gift ideas.

My thanks to Groupon for sponsoring today’s post. All opinions and love of saving and shopping are my own.

find cool gift ideas at Groupon



We use Groupon often for food and entertainment savings in our area, so I usually go straight to those categories and do a quick search for a certain type of cuisine or event, usually on my phone, so I’d never taken in the full site on my laptop until recently and I was pleasantly surprised with the site. It’s easy to navigate, with six main categories on the home page. 


Groupon categories makes it easy to shop for gifts

Thinking of our gift recipient, I chose Goods and found wonderful offers from stores like Bath & Body works (my daughter’s favorite store) along with Walgreens and Kate Spade, but those weren’t quite right for my needs. Then I saw a Macy’s sale, which is always a favorite shopping destination, so I clicked there. Several really nice savings coupons were listed, which helped me narrow down my gift shopping theme even more.

I was able to find a cool gift quickly and affordably using Groupon! If it’s been a while since you used Groupon coupons, log on today and check out them out. I bet you’ll be find several cool gift ideas in record time as well. Be sure to follow Groupon on Facebook and Twitter for more savings and shopping ideas.

Last month I wrote a review on L’Oreal’s newest skincare line, Age Perfect. I was in love with these products then and I can happily say; I’m still using them with great results. If you’d like to learn more about this new line, please read all about them on my review here, but here’s a quick overview:


#L'Oreal Age Perfect skincare #beauty


Why try L’Oreal Age Perfect cell renewal? L’Oreal says:

"As your skin ages, skin cell renewal decreases significantly, leaving your skin looking dull and dry. Age Perfect cell renewal accelerates skin cell turn over, bringing millions of new cells to the surface each day. The result?  Fresher, re-plumped, visibly renewed skin." You can learn more about the ingredients and product usage by visiting www.lorealparisusa.com/cellrenewal .



Since the love is still there for me, I want to share that love with you by offering you a $2.00 off coupon for any L’Oreal purchase!

Just click on this link and you’ll be able to print of the $2.00 coupon. This is such a luxurious and beautiful looking skincare line, it could be a great present for that special someone on your list who loves looking their best and enjoys trying new skincare products.
