December Holidays That Aren’t Christmas
December 3, 2013
Christmas is a behemoth. It’s the mother of all holidays. Why else would we spend so much time preparing for it? While Christmas is definitely the headliner holiday of December, let us not forget lesser known days like “Bacon Day” or “Bake Cookies Day”.
Oh…you’ve never heard of these days?! Don’t worry; we didn’t know about them either until we found DaysOfTheYear.com. Here’s a few of our favorite December “holidays”, courtesy of DaysOfTheYear.com, and how Organize-It can help you celebrate these joyous days.
Did you know the December is Tie Month? Well, you do now! Whether you like them skinny or wide, solid or pattered, Organize-It has many tie organization options to make sure your ties are kept neat and tidy all year long, like this Lighted Revolving Tie Rack. This tie rack can hold up to 64 ties and has 8 storage hooks for belts.
This Aluminum Jelly Roll Pan would be of great use on Brownie Day (December 8). This pan is 17.25 inches by 11.25 inches and has a pebble texture that helps food brown evenly.
What better way to celebrate Bake Cookies Day (December 18) than with this OXO Good Grips Cookie Press ! This cookie press comes with 12 different dough disks to make a variety of different shaped cookies.
Bacon Day is December 30. I know what you’re thinking: “Isn’t ‘Bacon Day’ everyday?”. If you’re a bacon lover, than this OXO Splatter Screen will help protect you from rogue grease flying when you’re frying your bacon.
Black Friday Bicycling – Making it Tolerable
November 28, 2013
Some people really look forward to the holidays, and everyone has their own reason. Maybe you just love to drink eggnog. Or maybe your favorite meal is slightly-too-dry turkey. And maybe you are one of the good people in the world and you really just look forward to spending quality time with your family. There is one huge sub-section of American that looks forward to the holidays for one thing – Black Friday. Let me tell you why this Friday after Thanksgiving I will be Black Friday Bicycling.
You see, my sister loves to get up super early the morning and go hit up all the classic stores. You know, Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Sports –Mart – pretty much any place that has the word “Mart” in it is on her radar. And a long time ago I lost a bet, which we definitely don’t have time to go into right now, and I have been forced to go with her on her Black Friday shopping spree. I am 4 years into a 10 year sentence.
And every year it gets worse and worse. Stores open earlier, more people line up beforehand. There are more and more “Mart” stores every year! The only way for me to maintain my sanity is to go Black Friday Bicycling.
Instead of driving with my sister and listening to her gloat about her victory a little under 5 years ago, I will ride my bike from store to store. And knowing how ridiculous traffic gets on Black Friday around these parts, I fully expect to beat her to every store. Maybe this Black Friday Bicycling will show her how awesome riding is. Maybe she’ll even buy me something while she is out shopping – maybe something like the Pablo Two Bike Rack with Shelf. It would look great in my closet and maybe numb the sting of defeat just a little bit.
Folding TV Trays For Turkey Day Touchdowns
November 27, 2013
One of the best things about Thanksgiving is all of the football that there is to watch. There are almost always classic match-ups, with the Lions and Cowboys traditionally being featured. These two historic teams have a lot of heated rivalries, so it always makes for an entertaining day. However, when the game gets exciting during mealtime, it is great to be able to move to the couch and use folding TV trays to eat with!
Folding TV trays are not just a great choice for the holidays; they are a great accessory for any meal. Whether it is March Madness, the NHL Stanley Cup or even the Pro-Bowl, these trays come in handy and make it easy to eat on the sofa and in front of the TV. The Bay Shore 5 Piece Rectangular Tray Table Set is a great choice.
I mean, folding TV trays are pretty much one of the most American things in the world. So why not utilize them on what is probably the second-most American holiday (behind the Fourth of July of course). That way you can feel really great about how patriotic you are while you watch enormous men beat the pulp out of each other while you simultaneously consume way too much stuffing.
And folding TV trays are great because they also give you the ability to stow them away in a closet. There is nothing worse than having TV trays that cannot be folded sitting all over your home, making you look like a cluttered slob. These amazing folding TV trays can be discreetly placed behind a door, in a small linen closet or even under the sink!
So this year, don’t miss a single exciting play from America’s Favorite Team, or the Detroit Lie-Downs! These trays will revolutionize the way you enjoy your turkey feasts. Just be sure not to get too excited and spill the cranberry sauce!
