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.

Gift Ideas for Gardening Enthusiasts

in , , , , , by Linda A Kinsman, Thursday, December 02, 2021

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.

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.

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.

As a busy work at home Mom, I love products that help keep me organized and make my life easier at home  and on the go. Somedays, my office is at a local event or venue where I need easy access to my phone, wallet, tablet, or laptop. I don’t want to arrive with a huge bag, so having streamlined products is ideal. Recently, I was asked if I’d like to work with Ekster again for the holidays and I happily said yes. I love being able to continue a working relationship with brands I’ve worked with in the past and truly like their products. Today, I’m sharing two clever gift ideas for busy Moms I think you will really like.

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.
