Morning (Manly) Morsel: World Series DVDs

Kate Blaylock — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 14:25:51 +0000

I woke up this morning to a lovely snowfall and the rare, and therefor exciting, news that church was canceled. I am enjoying the extra time to visit with my grandparents who are here from California and Michigan… and, as I often do when I visit with friends and family, I am multitasking. This time I am shopping for next year’s Christmas gifts (don’t laugh, I have a system). And I think I’ve found a great one for Meijer.

Behold, the baseball lover’s dream:

The A&E Home Video Official World Series Film Collection DVD Set is Perfect for Meijer, his incredible memory, and the cold Michigan nights. At $180 it’s a bit pricey, but my parents may be willing to go havsies with Mr. and me.

It’s officially “on the list.”

Morning Morsel: A Lace Shopping Basket

Kate Blaylock — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 12:25:17 +0000

I found this morning morsel, and thought of myself. And Sweats. It’s beautiful, durable, and practical. (And it comes in black.)

What do you think? It’s the Lace Shopping Basket from the Container Store? Would you use it to shop, organize, or transport stuff?

To: Rich & Sweats… Happy Anniversary

This will be one of those “not much to say, you just got to look at ‘em” posts…

It’s my parent’s anniversary and, although I don’t buy anniversary gifts, I do shop for them…

For Rich, I picked The NPR Map from the Blue Ribbon General Store.

For Sweats I’m going with a set of Wizard of OZ glasses, from Urban Outfitters.

And, if it were my anniversary, and I actually bought anniversary gifts… for myself… or anyone, I’d buy myself the Dinosaur Necklace, by Eden & Eden.

So They Say: It’s Wish List Time

PG and Raj are generous gifters. Every year, since, well… since I can remember, my parents and I (and more recently Mr., my parents, and I) have been required to submit a wish list. Lists are typically due by the end of September, although we get them to California by the first week of October (also known as birthday week for Sweats and I). While working on this year’s list I referred to my 2007 Wish List and was reminded I made some wise choices in the home stuff department.

See for yourself:

As to Christmas List ‘08, I initially thought about luggage, a few organization items, and some work clothes (to mature my wardrobe). However, after more thought I remembered we have a lot of travel over the next few years, so I am tempted to focus on that. It will be a nice outlet for my excitement. Here’s what I’ve got so far:

No doubt I will discuss my additional selections here…

Happy Birthday to Little Reagan

I just became an aunt… To a little sweetie out in Arizona. She has wonderful parents with a strong sense of realistic style and I am so excited to send some lovely stuff their way.

I found the perfect gift back in March when we found out were going to have a niece or nephew. Now I am tempted to change my selection. I will keep you posted on my deliberations.

When Bookmarks Fail

Kate Blaylock — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 04:55:38 +0000

Bookmarks and wists are no longer enough to keep my shopping endeavors organized. So here I am, at Irick Noé, blogging about my finds. And, to be frank, I do this for my own benefit more than for yours. My memory is unreliable, my shopping list is neverending, and my knack for gift finding is ever-increasing.

If you see something you love, please tell me. When I post about something you own, please offer a review for the other readers. And, if you hate an item or site I discuss, please let me know.
