The Cheeseboard Deck by Meg Quinn

Ever seen a stunning cheeseboard on Instagram and wondered why you can’t seem to assemble one yourself? That’s because neither you nor I are actual food stylists like Meg Quinn. But, the good news is that Meg is willing to spill her secrets and teach us her ways. You may know Meg from her Instagram @ainttooproudtomeg where she shares the most beautiful food boards imaginable. Last week, she published The Cheeseboard Deck which is packed with tips and ideas for your own entertaining. I love that she put her ideas into a fun deck instead of a traditional cookbook, because the…

Foot Measuring Device for Adults and Children

Yes, this is a special ruler for your feet. The kind you probably haven’t seen since you were a little kid. Why on earth aren’t more people talking about how useful these are? They’re great when you’re trying to figure out your own size in an international size range, but this is also SUCH a help when sizing kids’ feet. My children grow like weeds and I’ve had to return an absurd amount of shoes because I hadn’t sized teeny toes correctly. This is the tool that will help you get it right and save headaches (and return shipping costs)…

Sweater Pill Remover

Oh yes friends, it’s that time once again. Time for sweater rehabilitation! As you unearth your beloved sweaters only to discover that last year made them look a little too… loved, this pill remover is my favorite for saving your sweaters from a shabby appearance. I’ve used many, and since my sister-in-law texted me yesterday asking me for my current favorite, I thought I’d share it with everyone. It’s this guy.

Florex Carpet Cleaner

If you have kids or pets (or both, good heavens) you need this magical Florex carpet cleaner in your life. It has been wildly effective for us, but once I shared it on my Instagram Stories yesterday, I was absolutely inundated with messages from people saying it is ALSO their saving grace. I even got a message from a follower whose father owns a professional carpet cleaning company and he swears by it! It’s the real deal.

Velvet Ribbon in Every Size and Color

I was on a perpetual hunt last holiday season for quality velvet ribbon in various sizes and colors and was shocked by how difficult it was to find. This year, Amazon has yielded strong and prime-eligible results in the form of this product: velvet ribbon that’s great quality and comes in every possible color and size you could imagine. Wrap it around your tree, tie it in a bow around dinner napkins, use it for gift wrapping—the opportunities are endless!

Ribbon & Tape Printer

Gone are the harsh plastic labels with robotic font. We can now explore all sorts of ribbon and tape styles and customize them to create labels of all sorts. I recently purchased this ribbon and tape printer to personalize gifts—particularly to have a message and date printed on the ribbon of a Christmas ornament for my nephew. (This way, when he hangs the ornament on the tree every year, he can be reminded of the fact that it was I, his Godmother, who gave him a stinking ornament instead of an awesome toy.) This little machine is amazing for customizing…

Listerine Whitening Mouth Rinse

Attention everyone whose tooth enamel is screaming after the obscene amounts of sugar you consumed yesterday! While nothing beats professional services, I recently visited my dentist who told me the method she swears is ideal for maintaining healthy white teeth between visits: (1) floss your teeth, (2) use Listerine Whitening Wash for 1-3 minutes, (3) brush your teeth (she said this Crest toothpaste is great) and (4) finish with a classic Listerine Antiseptic. I was surprised to hear her suggest the two different types of Listerine, but she had the perfect, ultra-white teeth to show for it and she said…

Gold Display Stands For Frames, Books and Plates

If you’re someone with lots of cherished items to display, but not a lot of wall space (or a lease that prevents holes in walls), try displaying photos, cherished books, etc. on these convenient little stands! They come in multi-packs and help you display the items you love (and change them as you like!) truly effortlessly. I have them scattered all over our house and love to use them for displaying art, mirrors, beautiful books and even china.

If you love entertaining but aren’t yet utilizing Mrs. Alice’s Tablescapes, you’re in for a treat. The brand curates gorgeous coordinated collections every season and now is the time to peruse, you know, before holiday gatherings pop up on your calendar like wildflowers. I recently bought this tablecloth to coordinate with these napkins I got last year, though I have a feeling more purchases are imminent. You really need to check out this site if you’re planning any holiday hosting!

Yeti Cooler Ice Pack

We love keeping drinks on ice outdoors when picnicking on the beach, but on particularly hot days it’s more like keeping drinks on… water. Yeti’s “ice” blocks keep everything colder, longer, so drop a few of these in your cooler along with your ice and bask in the need for fewer refills. I know I don’t need to tell you how well the product works because Yeti is involved and they can do no wrong… but look at these ratings!
