As we start to see the light at the end of the tunnel of the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s a good time to think of all those people since last March who have helped you. From doctors, nurses, and EMT personnel to delivery drivers, restaurant owners, and volunteers of all kinds, a lot of people stepped […]

For some reason, I am really, really allergic to just about everything you put on your skin. I can’t use lotion, insect repellent, underarm deodorant, or sunscreen without really bad allergic reactions. As a result, during the summer while everyone else is at the beach, in the woods, or playing summer sports, I’m usually cowering under […]

Basketbox – T-Shirts, Onesies, and other Clothing that Let You Wear Your State Proudly
June 8th, 2016 · No Comments · Disability
I was born in New Jersey and spent most of my life there before moving to New York about 10 years ago. While to most casual observers outside of this area New York and New Jersey are pretty monolithic, the truth is long-time residents of each know that each has its own very distinct culture. Even though I’ve […]

Thick, Soft, Warm Socks made from Bison (Buffalo) Down #comfysocks @unitedbyblue
May 25th, 2016 · No Comments · Conservation
When you think of luxurious socks, you’ll usually think of sheep and goats. Sheep’s wool has had a monopoly on warmth for centuries, while the wool from cashmere goats are what people think of for softness. The one animal that people don’t usually think for both warmth and softness of is the American Bison. But […]

Baby Bib from World Vision
May 8th, 2016 · No Comments · Children's Charities
I usually post about World Vision every year around Christmas. But being a new parent, World Vision’s mission is especially poignant this year as the first-ever Mother’s Day and Father’s Day for our family roll around. Being a new parent has been an amazing experience. I’d heard people tell me that fatherhood would change my life […]

Mystery Box of Handcrafted Charity Gifts
April 8th, 2016 · No Comments · Developing Areas
A few weeks ago I wrote about the FabFitFun box, something I dubbed “the ultimately goodie bag” for women. Recently, I came across GlobeIn’s Artisan Gift Box. It also follows a similar model of being “mystery” box where you (or your gift recipient) receive a box in the mail and enjoy the pleasure of opening up being […]

A FitBit for the Kids…Sort of
March 10th, 2016 · 3 Comments · UNICEF, World Hunger
It’s not hard to see that one of the hottest gifts this year is going to be wearable electronics for the purpose of tracking your fitness and exercise. For years, of course, people carried around pedometers to track their steps. The advent of smartphones changed all that. Suddenly, you could do more than just see how […]

Life is Good Book – the history of LIG and wisdom from the guys who started it
February 19th, 2016 · No Comments · Children's Charities
For years you’ve no doubt seen this smiling Life is Good guy everywhere. I remember seeing my first Life is Good T-Shirt back in the 1990’s and smiling. There was just something about the smiling stick figure (whose name is Jake) as he went about his life doing “good” things, from camping to biking to playing with the dog. I […]
