Of course you've been eye-balling that flat screen TV and could get it for 'her' even though you'll both be using it (chalk this one up to almost-genius moments that end up as epic fails). Or, maybe she keeps talking about getting into some kind of work out regimen, but actually buying her a gym membership could backfire on you. Here are some other ideas you'd better leave in your head if they happen to pop up in the first place.
We know that Santa fills "stockings hung by the chimney with care", but sometimes he gets a little help from us. I don't know about you, but it seems to me that it's ten times more difficult to figure out what to fill those stockings with, rather than the bigger presents under the tree. Here's some help.
In the spirit of the holiday, yours truly Greg "Splashin'" McShea is inviting you to join me and Jeremiah this Friday afternoon from 4:00 pm - 6:00 p.m. at Stewart's Shops in Little Falls for our live broadcast on Big Frog 104. It's all part of the annual Stewart's Shops "Holiday Match Program", which teams up Stewart's, their customers and media to raise funds for local children's organizations.
At Big Frog 104, many of us participate in a "Secret Santa" gift exchange with co-workers during the holidays. In many cases, when you you join in a workplace gift exchange, there's a $10 or $15 limit so you don't go broke. So, what are some gift ideas for that colleague? (Re-gifting may be a bit tacky on this, especially if you recycle that fruit cake your Aunt Jenny gave you),
Like most people my wife and I gave each other some pretty strong hints as to what we wanted for Christmas. But again like most people we both wanted to surprise each other with something unexpected. She got me a new Fender acoustic guitar, something I have wanted for a long time but thought I had kept a secret. And what surprise gift did I get her?
We know you’ll be inundated with gift ideas this holiday season, but after sharing our ideas for gifts for your vet, we couldn’t resist offering a few of our own favorites for the year courtesy of VetStreet’s Dr. Patty Khuly.
The success of "Black Friday" for retailers has yet to be determined but for some shoppers it was the end of the line as far as Christmas shopping is concerned. A Rasmussen Report states that 7% of shoppers have already finished their gift buying and can now relax and watch everyone else go crazy. How many people haven't even started?
With Christmas just days away, last minute shoppers are feeling the pressure to finish buying gifts for those on their lists, including mom and dad. Parents are probably too polite to tell you if you buy them a lousy gift, so we'll help out with a list of gifts to avoid buying
The question remains. What do you get the man who has everything? Let's say the man is Kenny Chesney. A new cowboy hat? A horse? The answer is not what you would expect. When asked recently he gave a surprising reply.
"Every year, my mom asks me what I want," Kenny said. "She asked if I wanted the new George Bush book, but I already ordered it on my iPad. So I'm getting what I got last year: canned green beans. My mom and grandmother can green beans themselves. I love it, because it's what I grew up with.""
