Boston Warehouse

Boston Warehouse has a line of products called Animalhouse. They are kitchen and office supplies with a quirky, colorful sense of fun. I have about half of them all ready. My sister is to blame. She got me a small selection for Christmas. I have this thing with collections. If I start one, accidentally or not, I must finish it. Some of these guys I don’t really need. Like the squid baster. I’m a vegetarian. What kind of veg do you baste? (Is that even how you spell it?) But, I’ll get it anyway. You know why? Because while I might not use that squid the way it is intended, I’m a wizz at modern art. ^_^

Boston Warehouse Animal House

Aren’t they cute! I get positively hyper when I see them. Especially if they are on sale. You can find them online and get them directly from Boston Warehouse, amazon.com, or where ever else you shop for nifty and fun gadgets. Me, I buy mine at Target. That’s where I first saw them and the only local place that sells them consistantly. If you are in the Winston-Salem/King, North Carolina, you can check on Kohls and Pier One (not listed online). The Hanes Point shopping center on Hanes Mall Boulevard has a Target, Kohls, and Pier One all together, so you could try all three stores at once. I love one stop shopping! Now having typed that, I think I have also seen them at Home Goods and Ross’ (just across the street).

The prices will change a little bit between stores, but, for the most part, each retailer will only be a couple of dollars off. So if you find it cheaper one place and bought if for a little more somewhere else, don’t freak. Of course, you could do the cheapskate thing and return the more expensive one (as long as you use good morals and didn’t use it) for a refund and then buy the one that costs less. Just sayin’.

Has anyone else seen these guys? Do you love them as much as I do? Or do you just think ‘way too much color and childishness’ the way my mother does? Better yet, do you know anyone who has them on sale? ‘Cause I could totally use the mouse cheese shredder!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

As I still don’t have internet back (yet), this is going to be a wee bit shorter than I would like. But soon, soon I shall amaze all with my astounding blogging skills! (Oh how I miss writing…)

Anyway, moving on to the main attraction as I know that’s why you are actually here and not at all interested in my mumblings about technology withdrawl. I found a few good sites that I though everyone might be interested in and that are holiday related.

First up, if you have some spare change, plan your visit to Ireland. I didn’t have enough money for that, so I hiked down to the wheel of death and got a very festive Mountain Dew.

Before you go, learn some of the lingo. Or learn it just because! You might also want to try this out and learn more than just a few phrases.

Of course, being a history major, I would also highly recommend knowing some basic Irish history before you head in that direction. Oh, and if you like that sort of thing, you’ll dig the history of St. Patrick’s day. Horray for learning!

Or maybe you’d like to just do the cooking thing instead and celebrate at home.

So, who’s up for buying me a Guinness?
