If you’ve never used LUSH Cosmetics, you’re missing out. If you’ve never used any of their limited edition holiday products, you’re really missing out. Now’s your chance to experience both their amazing Christmas items and their year-round products, with the annual LUSH Cosmetics Clean Slate ‘08 Promo.

Essentially, the promo boils down to this: Buy any one of their decadent Holiday limited edition items, and you’ll get a free item of equal or lesser value absolutely free (you choose which item at checkout). The limit is SEVEN free items, so you can get pretty stocked up through this BOGO promotion. So if visions of eggnog flavored lip balms and sparkly pink cotton candy scented shower gels are dancing in your head right now, you know where to go: LUSH Cosmetics.

Science museums are really cool places with tons of wonderful learning experiences available to the public. You can walk through giant heart models, see dazzling laser displays, even gape at actual moon landers. But let’s face it, the best part of every science museum is normally in a bin near the cash register: freeze dried ice cream. Four of the tastiest words in the English language. But thanks to ThinkGeek.com, you can now get the ice cream astronauts eat without the risk of accidentally learning anything. Yay!ThinkGeek.com sells the famous freeze-dried ice cream at $2.99 a pop, and offers three flavor choices: Mint Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Chocolate Chip, and my personal favorite, Neopolitan. Space age strawberry is just so delicious! You also get 50 “Geek Points” for each ice cream bar that you buy, which adds up quickly (the geek points are redeemable for some seriously cool things, including the USB Snowbot which is now sitting on my desktop thanks to Geek Points - but that’s another day, another post).

If this post has you feeling nostalgic or hungry, head on over to ThinkGeek.com and grab you some delicious yummy food technology!

A bag for a good cause — the World Food Programme Feed Bag is modeled after the grain bags used to deliver food to schools in need around the world. A sturdy reversible bag, made out of natural burlap and cotton, it is a tangible way to make a difference in the fight against world hunger. Every World Food Programme Feed Bag sold will feed one child for a whole year in school. School feeding acts as a magnet, dramatically increasing enrollment, sometimes by as much as 100 percent. It also improves performance at school; children concentrate better on a full stomach. Girls who go to school not only marry later but have half as many children than illiterate women. Furthermore, these children are healthier and better educated. School feeding is a simple but effective way to beat hunger and poverty.The FEED Project is a partnership between the United Nations World Food Program and Lauren Bush, WFP Honorary Spokesperson. World Food Programme Feed Bag are available exclusively at Amazon for $59.95 and is eligible for free shipping. These make a great gift for anyone who cares about making a difference in the world, and can do double-duty as either a stylish tote bag or a reusable, eco-friendly grocery bag. Whatever you use it for, it’s a great bag, great idea, and a very good purchase.

I’ve got two dogs at home who are very spoiled - I can’t resist buying them new treats and toys, especially when they’re as clever and cute as these doggie “candy canes” from pet supply powerhouse JB Pet. Made from your choice of either compressed, colored rawhide or chew pigskin - either way sure to be a hit with your dogs (or any animal-loving friends you may have). The rawhide ones are attractive enough that you could even use them as a Christmas tree decoration - um, until your dog realizes what’s up, that is.Ranging from $1.99 (for the individual canes) to $14.99 (for an entire box, packaged just like people candy canes!), these are an affordable and creative way to share some Christmas cheer with your favorite canines. Available (along with plenty other awesome doggie Holiday goodies) at JB Pet.

This post is already almost edible, isn’t it? That’d be due to the extreme decadence of Jaqua products - their luscious body creams and shower gels look and smell good enough to eat. Of course, this is inadvisable, since they probably don’t actually taste that great and then you’d miss out on actually getting to use them!

One of the newest Jaqua scents is the delectable Cocoa Buttercream - a twist on their original, wildly popular Pink Buttercream product line. If you (or a giftee on your Holiday shopping list) is into foody or gourmet fragrances and body products, you just hit the gold mine.

Using natural and delicious sounding ingredients like cocoa butter, marshmallow extract, and macadamia nut oil - to name a few - the Jaqua body care products let you indulge in a way that’s actually good for you - and anyone who gets close enough to smell or touch you!

The Jaqua Cocoa Buttercream products start at $8 and include body butters, hand lotions, body washes, gift sets, and much more. Dig in!

If you’re internet-savvy enough to be reading a blog dedicated to web finds, you probably have a blog - or have at least thought about starting one. With an ever-growing community of readers and authors, it can be very gratifying to send your thoughts soaring into cyberspace. We all have our own thoughts & opinions; why not share them? Why not review that new movie, restaurant, or product? Even better, why not get paid for doing so?

Services like Blogsvertise are taking the internet community by storm lately. The idea is simple and easy: monetize your blog by writing posts about certain products, websites, or services; get paid for providing word-of-mouth advertising. Don’t worry, your reviews & posts aren’t required to be sycophantic shilling, either. The Blogsvertise FAQ clearly states that you can write both positive and negative reviews about your assigned topic; no squashing your freedom of speech here.

I’ve been pointed towards websites like Blogsvertise by quite a few of my fellow webmasters, and I’m currently in the application process. Here’s hoping that I get approved and can start getting paid for what I love - running my mouth on the internet!

You know the drill. You get to the grocery store, start wandering around, and realize you’ve completely forgotten half the things you set out to buy. You would’ve made a list, but you lost the magnetic notepad you usually keep on the fridge when you needed something to keep score on when you played Scrabble last week. So you stand there dumbly in the middle of the produce section, willing yourself to remember - what was that one thing that I absolutely needed the other day? The thing that I knew was really important, that I needed before anything else? Why can’t I remember something so simple?

The SmartShopper Voice-Activated Grocery List (SS250) is a godsend, sent from electronics heaven to make sure you’re never put in such an embarassing situation again. You mount it on either the wall or your fridge, and when you think of something you need - you simply say it aloud to the SmartShopper. The small wonder then records the item, and once you’re ready to head to the grocery store, the SS250 will print out your list for you - categorized by section, so you don’t end up running back and forth all over the store - making sure that you remember every single item you need.

How amazing is that? You can also include errands like going to the bank or post office or picking up the kids from school - for anyone with a terrible short-term memory (like myself), this little gadget really makes your life so much easier. I personally used to go through that frozen moment of realizing you’ve forgotten what you needed almost every time I went shopping - it was annoying, embarassing, and resulted in far too many unnecessary return trips to the store once I got home and figured out what I’d missed. With this glorious gadget, those headaches are a thing of the past.

Sound like something you need? It’s available for $149.95 at Sharper Image and $144.99 at Amazon, and believe me - it’s worth every penny in the time, energy, gas for return trips, and lost/unused notepads you’ll save in the long run!

The holidays are upon us, and finding the perfect present for that special lady in your life can be daunting. If you’re tired of the old, clichéd standbys - jewelery and perfume - why not spice up your Christmas morning with this deliciously naughty stocking stuffer? The Candy Cane glass dildo is one gift that’ll keep on giving - and you know exactly what I mean.

Measuring 8″ tall and packaged in a classy blue plush velvet bag, the Candy Cane can be warmed or heated for a variety of pleasurable experiences. If you’ve been looking for a unique gift that also indulges your sinful side, congratulations. Your search is over.

Available for a limited time at TooTimid; priced at $42.95 (I found this same product on another site for a ridiculous $115, so HUGE savings here). Enjoy!

Swank Martini’s “Chillin’ Martini Glasses” aren’t just stylish home decor; they’re a stroke of genius!

With these innovative glasses, your drinks will not only look cool, but they’ll stay cool, courtesy of the ice compartment on the bottom of the glass.As shown in the above image, you can use these gorgeous glasses for more than just beverages.
