Be in Command of Your Straps!

Stocking Stuffer Product: Bra Barrette

Plain. Charmed. Crystal. A Barrette for every Occasion

Stocking Stuffer Highlights: Finally, a strap holder for every woman and outfit.
For many women falling bra straps are a daily frustration. The Bra Barrette is the relief women have been looking for! The Bra Barrette was the first strap holder designed to work on more than bras, it works great on tank tops and swimsuits as well. Now, the Bra Barrette is the first strap holder available in three sizes, because not every woman or outfit is created equal and one size doesn’t always fit all. The larger size Bra Barrette is perfect for larger women, or those who don’t like how tight traditional bra strap holders pull the straps together. The smaller size Bra Barrette is perfect for Pre-teens who love to wear trendy fashionable tank tops but need a way to keep their straps in place. The medium works for almost any woman, to keep her straps in place under clothing, and bring confidence to her wardrobe. It’s time for a bra strap holder that meets the needs of women – multiple sizes to fit every fashion situation and every size woman!

Retail Price: Prices range from $3.99 (clear) to $39.99 ( Swarovski crystals) Visit www.brabarrette.com

Chief Blonde’s Remark’s: I have been wearing a regular Goody barrette on the straps of my camisole’s for years. Being a rather large chested woman, I have always found this a pain. This beautiful little device solves this, plus it looks nice! No, it looks lovely! They are 100% guaranteed and MADE IN THE USA, which I LOVE!!! We women over 45 have great use for this product as ANYTHING that provides more support in the breast area is truly appreciated!

Handmade Wool Felt Pet Products

Stocking Stuffer Product: Lollycadoodle Felt Snake

Prefect for Fido!

Stocking Stuffer Highlights: Lollycadoodle is a designer and wholesaler of 100% wool pet products. All toys are handmade by skilled artisans in Nepal. The wool is hand-dyed and sculpted into beautiful, natural and durable pet toys. Dogs and cats are attracted to the wool smell and additionally benefit from the dental cleaning that accompanies the chewing of the toys. These products are natural, made from a renewable resource (sheep wool), biodegradable and leave a small carbon footprint in the manufacturing process. Lollycadoodle supports employment that provides a fair wage to the artisans while preserving their traditional craft. The manufacturer has been certified with Fair Trade status in Germany and is in the process of becoming certified with International Fair Trade status.

Retail Price: Unknown, Visit www.lollycadoodle.com for merchant locations

Chief Blonde’s Remarks: At first I didn’t know what to make of this toy when I received the snake. But once I realized it was Squeaker free (hugely important), pet safe, and something my brother’s two big Portuguese Water Dogs would battle over, I was SOLD! So many other cute designs. I have shown pictures of those above. Has won Toy of the Show at various Pet/Toy venues. Women over 45 can get a kick from this toy because if you have two dogs, the will fight over this for hours (or at least until they pull it apart!)

Missing for 10 years…

Stocking Stuffer Product: Dr. Hess Udder Ointment

Old-time Skin Care Remedy, Returns to Its Family OriginsStocking Stuffer Product Highlights: For over 100 years, Dr. Hess Udder Ointment has been providing relief for all skin needs including dry skin, chapped lips, cracked heels, diaper rash, athletic chafing, eczema, burns, abrasions and more. Originally developed for cow’s udders in the early 1900’s, farmers were soon remarking on the incredible healing effects it was having on their own worn and weathered skin. This soothing ointment soon became a staple in medicine cabinets across the country. Great Grand-daughter of founder J.L. Clark, Polly Clark Tribe, has recently returned Dr Hess Udder Ointment to the market after a 10 year absence. “There is simply nothing else like it.” Tribe says. “I am thrilled to bring it back to the family and especially back into the market. Our past customers are ecstatic. When you find a product as good as this, you never want to lose it.”

Stocking Stuffer Retail Price: 2 oz jar Ointment $6.99. Lip Balm 4/$10.00, Find Dr Hess Udder Ointment and other great Dr Hess Products at www.udderointment.com

Chief Blonde’s Remarks: I was able to sample the Ointment (don’t you just love that work—ointment, it sounds so mystical!) and the Lip Balm. I loved the minty smell (kind of reminded me of winter green but the smell actually comes from Menthyl Salicylate). I would highly recommend going to the website and reading the “Our Story” tab. It reads like the Great American dream. Excellent site to do a classroom report from..anyway back to the Product. I used it on my extremely dry winter chapped legs. They felt smooth and moisturized without feeling greasy. I think women over 45 would really enjoy this product as we suffer so severely from dry skin! You can also get a Free sample on the website and Dr. Hess even pays the shipping! GO FOR IT!

We felt that these hats were the Best of the Best. Everything was the highest quality from the website to the catalog to the product itself. The 2010 selection is awesome with a great collection of Winter and Summer Hats. A cool feature that we liked is that the hat’s are adjustable with a draw string inside.

I am hoping to try the summer line once the summer returns. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
