From the good folks at Planet Dog comes the Orbee-Tuff Glow for Good Ball. It’s a 3″ ball (about the size of a baseball) that’s made of doggie-durable silicone. It is really, really bouncy–when I drop it on the ground it bounces back up almost all the way to where it started. If you have […]

John Travolta and Olivia Newton John's Reunion Album for Charity: This Christmas
December 25th, 2012 · No Comments · Children's Charities
I admit, there was a time when I was mildly obsessed with finding some YouTube clips of John Travolta and Olivia Newton John performing together again. Their chemistry in 1978’s Grease was one of the best in musicals of that era, not to mention the chemistry and fun of the case, and both of course […]

One thing I love about Stand Up To Cancer’s charitable efforts is how unique their charitable gifts are. These aren’t your typical cheap promotional logo imprint items–these are real products from great, high-end companies. Not only can you get a lot of these products at great prices, a big chunk of the purchase price will […]

December 18th, 2012 · No Comments · Children's Charities
Well, December is here and the Christmas shopping season is fully underway. Growing up, I always loved receiving the Swiss Colony catalog in the mail. I don’t know exactly what it was, but there was something about Chris Mouse, Petit Fours, and blocks of cheese and sausages that was magical. Mind you, these were the […]

Great Gift for iPad owners: The Thai-Pad iPad Stand
December 9th, 2012 · No Comments · Developing Areas, Literacy
This post and the next post are going to focus on some excellent gifts available at Levenger, a company that describes themselves as “Tools for Serious Readers”. Back in the 1980s, Levenger had a lot of products that focused around fine pens, notebooks, and stationery. They still do those things, but what’s cool is that […]

The Best of Today's Dogg
November 28th, 2012 · No Comments · Animal Causes
In a world where political cartoons in the paper sometimes get too shocking or controversial or just plain maddening, there’s something special and reassuring about Today’s Dogg, a syndicated cartoon by Guy Gilchrist. Each one is a single panel comic by Gilchrist starring various dogs. I wouldn’t say the comics are particularly edgy or roll-on-your-sides […]

Macy's Letters to Santa Campaign and How To Get a Real Response from the North Pole
November 16th, 2012 · No Comments · Children's Charities
Every day on my commute home through Manhattan I pass by the Macy’s on 34th Street. This time of year is always fun, because they’ve just launced the new store windows. Sadly, this year they’ve decided not to put up the multi-window display they do every year that recreates scenes from the classic Miracle on 34th […]
