About the Setson Brand:
Setson Original Cologne giveaway

“Experience a true original.  STETSON.  The legendary fragrance of the American West.  A rich, masculine blend of rugged woods and spice.”

HEROIC. INDEPENDENT. AUTHENTIC. STETSON.

John B. Stetson headed west prepared to make his fortune. But what he wasn’t prepared for was the wet and cold that followed him every step of the way. So, in 1865, Stetson set out to make the hat that could tame the American West.

The hats were a big hit in the thinly populated West, where being rugged was a requirement for clothes (and for people). The rugged individualism of the West was perfectly represented by a hat that could be shaped differently by each wearer – a punched in crown, a blended brim and a braided leather band were all different ways to make a Stetson one’s own.

Today, the name Stetson embodies the authentic heritage and spirit of the American West. It’s individuality that can never be tamed or fenced in. Authentic style that telegraphs who you are without saying a word. And confidence that comes from knowing there’s nothing you can’t handle.

Stetson Cologne carries on this legacy with fragrances for men and women that represent the pride, passion, and confidence of the pioneers.

Piper Hurricane Set from Kirkland’s – Review and Giveaway {Ends 10/20} #Giveaway

Contests, Holiday, Home & Garden, New posts, , , , ,

Kirkland's Hurricane Candle Set

We are lucky enough to have five Kirkland’s stores within 25 miles of us.  My husband and I both enjoy shopping at Kirkland’s because they offer such a variety of home decor items that are appealing to men and women.  He appreciates that the store is not overly feminine.  My husband loves the Piper Hurricane candle holders just as much as I do and we’ve come up with several ways we can use them every day and around holidays.  This Halloween, we are going to fill the small hurricane with fake eye balls (husband’s idea), the large one with pinecones (my idea), and the medium size one with wrapped Halloween candy (the kid’s idea).  Yum!   At Christmas time, we will tie holiday ribbon around the hurricanes and put candles in them.  Imagine how beautiful that will be!  Now, the hurricanes are on our dining room table, making a beautiful center piece.

Busy moms (and dads) will appreciate that the Piper Hurricanes are easy to clean.  Just use a damp cloth or glass spray and wipe any fingerprints right off.  The Piper Hurricanes’ openings are wide enough to put your entire hand into so cleaning them is not a problem.  I’m sure my kids will find a way to make these into scientific beakers or something.. anything that will make a mess!  I wouldn’t be surprised if I find a frog in one of them, one of these days.  That’s the way my kids roll.

Kirkland’s Piper Hurricanes can change the atmosphere of a room instantly!
Put candles or flowers in the hurricanes to set the mood for date night and for a more fun, vibrant look, you can get creative and fill the hurricanes with crayons, candy, or cookies.

About the Piper Hurricanes, Set of 3

  • Set includes a 7 inch, 10.5 inch, and 14 inch high hurricane
  • Crafted of glass
  • Metal inserts in a bronze finish sit inside clear, glass hurricanes
  • Unique, “floating” design
  • Accommodates 3” pillar or sphere candles; candles sold separately

Priced at just $22-$29, Piper Hurricanes will make a great gift – so order a set for yourself and for a friend.

Father’s Day Gift Idea – ‘reasons I love dad’ collar stays from RedEnvelope.com

Dad, Father's Day Gift Guide, Gifts, , ,

RedEnvelope Father's Day GiftsI struggle with finding the perfect gift for my husband ever since he made gave me beautifully framed photographs of our kids with a little paragraph he wrote about how great our life is in the middle of the photos, for Mother’s Day. How do you top that?  Well, I try.. every year.  This year I think I’ll feel like I’m at his level of gift giving because I’m giving him these ‘reasons I love dad collar stays‘ from RedEnvelop.com.  These are pretty cool and he will use them, 5 days a week!

The 12 stainless steel collar stays come in two sizes (2 ½” and 2 ¾”) and are tucked beautifully inside a compact travel case made of espresso bonded leather and espresso faux-suede interior.  I had the case debossed with his initials which I know he’ll love. He likes personalized things.  I think it’s because you lose your identity when you have kids so any reminder of who you are, is great!

Messages on the collar stays include “I love you because”…

  • you “helped” me with my homework
  • you checked under the bed for monsters
  • you can “fix” almost anything
  • you gave me piggy back rides
  • you are my biggest fan
  • and more..

Some other bestselling gifts on RedEnvelope.com are the locket cuff links, Here’s To Dad gift basket, and personalizable pocket watch.

For more unique gift ideas for dad and if you are looking for Father’s Day gifts on a budget visit RedEnvelope.com.

A Cross Pen – The Perfect Father’s Day and/or Graduation Gift

Dad, Gifts, New posts, , ,

If you are looking for a Father’s Day or Granduation gift that will last a lifetime, a Cross pen is it.  I spoke at a conference about five years ago and received a Cross pen as a ‘thank you’ gift and still have it and use it to this day.  Now I have two beautiful Cross pens and feel spoiled.  What’s the big deal, you ask? When you write with a Cross pen, you won’t miss a beat.  You know how sometimes you’ll be writing and your cheap pen will skip or the ink will clump up on the end of the pen?  That does not happen with a Cross pen.

The weight of Cross pens is perefectly distributed for a comfortable hold resulting in steady, smooth penmanship.  I prefer a narrow pen whereas my husband prefers a wider, heavier, more weighty pen, both of which Cross offers plenty of.  Cross pens are available in Rollerball, Fountain, and Ballpoint writing styles and they offer many different pen styles/designs including sporty, executive, classic, and retro.  I prefer the classic and retro styles.

Cross even has the perfect writing instrument for multi-tasking Moms.. the Tech 3 Frosty Pink Multi-Function pen.  This pen can switch from black ink to red ink to a pencil with the twist of the barrel and all three are sure to product superior results.  I love it! I think I need an engraved Tech 3.

Shop for a Cross pen for the Father and/or Graduation in your life on the Cross website and don’t fret.. refills are available at the Cross website also!
