About The Product/Company~

IG Charcoal BBQ is a state of the art stainless steel, charcoal barbecue. Sitting on 4 four inch casters, you can roll the barbecue to any event. The modern IG Charcoal BBQ is a state of the art stainless steel, charcoal barbecue.

This is indeed a special barbecue with multiple unique qualities and features. Resting on 4 four inch casters, two of which have stops, you can roll the barbecue anywhere in you outdoor space, yard or even to a picnic or special event. The legs go inside the body chamber with ease and without the need of any tools.

They come out of the body with the same ease. This feature makes the barbecue very compact in size and transportable in your car or for storage with minimum space.

The other features include a grill top for cooking that can also be removed to accommodate skewers for Kabobs and skewer type barbecues.The barbecue has a movable charcoal holder, unique in design, for raising or lowering the charcoal for faster or slower cooking depending on your needs and the quantity of food being barbecued at one time.

To make it all further unique and easy to use, you do not have to scoop or vacuum the ashes from the burnt charcoal like barbecues of the past. The ash collector tray collects the spent ashes and can slide in or out and the ashes dumped! Once the ashes are thrown away you slide the ash collector back in.

Finally, the modern IG BBQ has side trays on both sides that can be raised for placing the food: cooked or uncooked without needing other tables or furniture around. These side trays can fold down after use to occupy less space if needed.

In addition to the two side trays there is a full-length bottom tray for placing utensils and food. This bottom tray is also removable.

All in all this is the best barbecue in the market at an incredibly affordable price and design and features in stainless steel.

  • Folding Side Trays
  • Rotating Charcoal Handle
  • Ash Collector Tray
  • Stainless Steel
  • 18″ W x 61.5″ L x 36″ H. Weight: 71lb

My Review/Thoughts~

My Eric loves to BBQ and we have a gas grill that we love but that was until we received the IG Charcoal BBQ Grille. Eric now calls it the Cadillac of charcoal grills. When the box came, I was shocked at how excited he was to put it together. All he could talk about was how we needed to go out and buy charcoal. Eric then told me that he missed the taste of food grilled on a charcoal BBQ grill something I never knew. The IG Charcoal BBQ Grille is the perfect holiday gift for any foodie on your gift list and if you do not have one then you need to buy one for yourself by going HERE. It is sold on Amazon as well as other fine retailers so you know you are getting the best price.

 About The Product/Company~

JORD is run by artists, designers, marketers, and minders. We spend our days creating, considering, arguing, and hopefully agreeing. Then we’ll scrap it all for the joy of starting new. We have fun. This is our journey.

We are focused on creating timepieces that are modeled after a modern lifestyle. We value sustainability, efficiency, and experiential living. We make our watches for people who don’t just have somewhere to be, they have somewhere to go.

The value of a watch is not in being able to tell how much time has passed, but in being aware of the need to make that time count. Moments are bigger than minutes and your watch should tell more than time.

SIER Arcadia~

Classic minimalism designed for versatility The All new Sier Arcadia is an evolution in natural timepiece construction. Clean lines and simple styling with a complex story. Each one of a kind watch dial is rough cut from white marble and hand polished to a beautiful luster. Complimented by interchangeable leather and metal mesh band, Arcadia was made to be worn at any occasion.

Your purchase of a SIER Arcadia timepiece includes a $60 replacement metal mesh band in Rose gold. Bands can easily be swapped between leather and metal using our quick-release pin system (no tools required). An elegant presentation coupled with an alternative metal band to your timepiece versatile for any outfit or occasion.

My Review/Thoughts~

I have been in love with JORD wooden watches ever since I found the site. That had to be several years ago. I was thrilled when the offer to review the SIER Arcadia watch for inclusion in my 2018 holiday gift guide. When I took the watch out of the box, I was immediately impressed with just how classy and sophisticated it looked. I am in love with the classy minimalist design it has. The combination of the rose gold and the while marble was enough to convince me that this will be my go to watch. Not only will I wear this watch for special occasions and a night on the town but It would be perfect for everyday. Not only does JORD have watches for women but they have watches for men also. Another thing I love is that they do watch engraving. I think that is going above and beyond as I would love to put a personal text on the back of the watch. If you have that hard to buy for person, techy or fashion conscious person on your gift list then I highly suggest this watch as you most certainly will wow them. You really need to even buy one for yourself by going HERE.

My Review/Thoughts~

My pets mean the world to me and I treat them like so. We have carriers for all of our pets. My greatest fear is that there is a fire and we would just grab our pets and run but what happens when we get outside as we have 2 pets that would shriek continuously as they were not in their surroundings and another 2 pets that would take off if they were not in a carrier. This is why I was so thrilled to include Ware Pets in my 2018 Holiday Gift Guide as this would make the perfect gift for anyone who has pets on your gift list. Not only was this very well made and has all the bells and whistles you would expect from a company who only does anything pet. These had to be the best priced products and you can go HERE to buy a pet item for yourself or that animal lover on your gift list.

I give Ware Pets my highest recommendation and my thumbs up.

TI:ME Slippers #Review #HGG18 @timeslippers

2018 Holiday Gift Guide, Reviews · 

I received the below mentioned complimentary product either for free or a discounted price for the purpose of this post. All opinions and thoughts are 100% my own.

About The Product/Company~

Our name stems from the idea that time is the ultimate currency. If everyone watched their minutes and seconds like they do their dollars and cents, they’d be a lot more relaxed.

TIME Slippers are designed to help you recharge so you can spend your life doing what really matters. They serve as a reminder to let go of the nonsense. To do less – better. This is the philosophy of High Performance Relaxation, and it’s infused into every aspect of our products. From stretch laces and flexible outsoles to a plush wool lining and yoga mat insoles.

We make the world’s most functional slippers.

We’re here to help you relax with purpose.

Men’s Low-top Slippers

The elastic laces and general flexibility of TIME slippers allow the uppers to form to your feet. For this reason we only carry whole-sizes in men’s slippers. Your slippers should feel slightly tight at first. After about two weeks of use, the uppers will relax and mold to your foot for a perfect fit. Do not go up or down more than a half-size away from your average size in other brands.

A custom rubber compound makes every step smooth – TIME Slippers move naturally with your foot.

With 10mm stretch laces, there is no tying necessary. You’ll wonder why you ever had shoe strings in the first place. Take comfort wherever you go with 6mm of yoga mat that is designed to ease stress.

My Review/Thoughts~

Slippers are the items Eric and I always ask for as a Holiday Gift. I spend 24/7 in my slippers and Eric puts his on as soon as he gets home from work. So, We put a lot of wear and tear on ours. This is why he chose to review the TI:ME Slippers. From the time he put them on his feet, He was sold on them. Eric says they are the most comfortable slippers he has ever worn. 1 week later and he refuses to wear anything else. I cannot say how much it means to me to have him not complain about his feet. If you have that hard to buy for person on your gift list, You really need to go HERE to buy a pair for yourself and for them.
