CableKeeps: Nice, Tidy Cable Organizers

by Tazim Damji

CableKeeps

Nice, organized cords and chargers for my devices. Anything that will make cords look better and keep things a bit more organized is a huge improvement in my mind. Think about it: how often do you use and move around your adaptors for your iPhone and iPad? Pretty often, I imagine. With CableKeeps you'll know exactly which adaptor to pull out from the wall or your bag. They are colourful, fun, awesome ways to stay organized.  ...

Britta Ambauen Jewelry – Small Business Style

by Tazim Damji

alexandrite necklace

A beautiful piece of jewelry that brings more love and luck in to my life. One of my favourite things to do during the holiday season is to support local businesses, artists and independent brands. Getting my friends and family unique, beautiful gifts from independent brands is such a joy. The fact that I can do so from the comfort of my home, with a cup of coffee and sweet treats to keep me going, is just icing on the cake. PinkLion is an online boutique where artists and designers can ...

Plumb Artist-Designed Notebooks

by Tazim Damji

You put your most creative thoughts and drawings in to your journals and sketchbooks. Why would you want to use ordinary bound books to capture your creativity? Plum is a new line of notebooks designed and illustrated by contemporary artists. There are a wide variety of sizes and styles to suit all your needs. One of the things I most like about Plum notebooks is that, since they're designed by people who actually use them for their creative needs, they're well-thought out and practical. These ...

Getting Glammed up for Mother’s Day

by Tazim Damji

getting glommed up for mother's day

Do you have a handbag collection? And, you know— a collection is 3 or more of the same type of item. My mom definitely has a handbag collection. She has at least 2 for each occasion. I know she'd appreciate the Brooke Wooden Panelled Clutch Purse, which I just received from O.co. The colourful Mint handbag can be used as a clutch under arm, or as a purse with the gold chain pulled across the chest or on a shoulder.  ...

Quick Mother’s Day Gift Ideas for the Mom who Likes to Cook

by Tazim Damji

mothers day

I actually wish my mom and Greg's mom needed more things for their kitchens—it would make it so much easier for gift-giving! At least, I know I can always get Greg something fancy for the kitchen for special occasions. One of the most used, yet seldom thought of products for gift ideas, is a pressure cooker. The WMF Pressure Cooker we talked about in our Deserted Island series is the one we'd pick: ...

Mother’s Day Gift Ideas for Tech-Lovers

by Tazim Damji

canon dslr

My mom has amassed a huge collection of jewelry, doesn't want new clothing, and doesn't need anything for the kitchen—but, luckily for me, she does want to upgrade her tech collection. For her birthday, in January, she asked for an MP3 player. My brother and I bought her one, and upgraded the earbuds to more comfortable ones with better sound. She recently mentioned that she wants some new wireless headphones that are rechargeable for Mother's Day. This helps me out a lot—and works out well for ...

Guy-Centric Gifts Women Secretly Want, Too

by Tazim Damji

When it comes time for gift-giving, are you thinking of things like jewelry, perfume and candles to give to your female friends and family, and powertools, video games and tech toys for your male friends and family? I subscribe to Sharp for Men's email newsletter, which tells me when new posts have been put up on their website. I don't do this to find tech, auto and home gadgets to give to Greg—but because I (a woman) love finding out about the latest and greatest products in those ...
