Is the Consumerism vs. Minimalism dilemma naggin’ at your noggin?
After all, there is so much stuff, yet so little time, money, and space.
Is consumer debt dragging you down?
Are you drowning in stuff?
Do you dream of a dumpster rental to solve your terrible, horrible, no good, very bad mess?
Are you feeling compelled to tidy up?
Dying to spark joy? […]

Inspiring in her humor, artistry, and business acumen.
One of my favorites! Yours, too?
You know Anne Taintor, Inc., the original vintage humor company. The company’s signature style—wry text juxtaposed against images of idealized women from the 1930s, 40s, and 50s—appears on magnets, sticky notes, eco-friendly totes, and dozens of other products that have been making smart people smile since 1985.

Just wondering… do you know anyone who wants these gifts?
1. COZY PJ’s for 20-SOMETHINGS
Perfect for a rockin’ slumber party in their parents’ basement.
They are so cute with those footsies and tails… why, they look like toddlers.
Oh, wait, they kind of are like toddlers.
Oh, well. Arrested development is so definitely under-rated.
I just want to pinch their cheeks!
You can find these hooded, footed jammies in SkyMall.
2. MAGIC WAND REMOTE
For the man who has everything? Voila! Yes, another remote.
It’s sheer magic. Perfect for avid Harry Potter fans, too.

3. “CAT TOILET TRAINING SYSTEM”
“Potty Train Your Cat Faster Than Most People Can Potty Train Their Kids“
Hmm, let me think, is the cat smarter than my kids?
This is a pretty glamorous product. I bet it’s the same system used in the movie “Meet The Parents.” And there’s a video, too.
You guessed it. It’s available at SkyMall.

4. Giraffe
What do you get a two year old who already has a puppy or a kitten?
Yes, a giraffe! “The perfect accessory in a nursery, this eye-catching giraffe is a great addition to any decor!” Hope you have a ladder handy. Wonder how much bamboo and rat guts “Spotty” eats for breakfast every day?
I didn’t have to tell you! SkyMall has it!
5. ELECTRONIC RACKET ZAPPERS SET
Killing insects has never been so much fun! Zap!
To hell with reincarnation. Just pretend you’re swinging at a tennis ball. You can keep score with every fly you swat and spider your squash.
Zap! Zap! Zap! Zam!

I want to thank SkyMall for the bounty of creative and entertaining products! It’s a gift of that keeps giving.
