Baby You Can Light My Fire!

Somehow it happened, and no one's quite sure how, but SUMMER snuck right by and we're already flying into a cool Fall. Everything that summer made you forget about (such as having to heat your home) is now sneaking back into mindframe and...speaking of frames....did you know you can now get a real fireplace IN a frame and actually hang it on your wall? That's right! You can now sink quite comfortably into your living room couch and watch flickering flames on your wall, without having to call the fire department. Real Flame Co. has really put a fun new twist to the fireplace industry and their new flatscreen fireplaces may even begin to rival this season's football games. "TV tonight or flame watching, dear?" many spouses may ask their other halves. Depending on which half answers, we'd say it's a 50/50 bet that fire frames may be the night's choice!

Bedroom starting to feel a little crowded lately?

Perhaps a little pet bed from Santa would do the trick.

Baby.....She's Mine!

Gaggia, a world famous name in the coffee and espresso industry has quite a knack for giving the people just what they want. Not only are their extremely well built products designed for high performance, there is also a bit of sleek chic to their exterior design, no matter what machine you're viewing for purchase.

The 'Baby' line is one such example of classy design style. One of the most popular Gaggia products, year in and year out, the Baby is a highly reliable machine that comes in Black, Ivory and Brushed Stainless Steel. There's even a 'Baby Twin' and a Baby Class model, which are also best sellers.

If you LOVE your espresso and can't live without it...or know someone else who is a die-hard espresso fan, the Gaggia name and reputation, exceeds expectations. As any Mother would know... your baby is YOUR BABY... and the love NEVER dies!

It's REALLY a Kitty's World!

We've finally come to that greater awareness and risen to it....to the point that we have almost completely integrated home comfort for our pets on a full scale level. First it was a toy string or a card board box bed. Then as Sonia the Pet Psychic made animal reality alittle more clear, people across the globe began to actually 'think' about their pet's comfort. Little by little, merchandise was made and tested on the market. Somewhere in the past decade, it became a HUGE market as smart minded business people saw that pet owners would spend ANY AMOUNT on their pets! Now, a decade or so later, the proverbial cardboard box bed is considered 'barberic'. And so they have arrived - the hi-end products for pets! Here we feature such!

Bodum Tops Their Own 'So Kool' Record

We've been dealing with a really kool rep at Bodum for about 2 yrs now, and so we've had a chance to really get to know how they as a company truly function at customer service level. But like any happy relationship that often starts out in a cloud of fuzzy, Neptunian influence...not always do we see the true colors of those we fall in love with at first. Often, we find ourselves trying to pinpoint in our minds, exactly what that vague, darting feeling that 'all's not perfect in romanceland' really is, at about month three...when the honeymoon effect suddenly dissipates into thin air. And by then, we begin to rationalize that all's not perfect, no matter where we go...so we begin to settle for less. At least that's how it goes for most of us 'en relationship'.

But every once in awhile a shining star does manage to swoop down from the sky and over time, it stays as bright as the first time we laid eyes upon it. Bodum is one such star. Because not only do they manage to keep good people working for them for long periods of time (an uncommon theme in today's e-commerce industry), but they also continuously seem to produce product that outshines and out kools their last year's so-neato stock. This year Bodum kicked it up a notch and made EVEYTHING kool!

Bright, breezy, poppy and slick is this year's theme and it's working apparently. As a company they are roariously popular, like Ikea once was when they first launched. We got ahold of their newest line of goods just recently and the charge one gets from feasting eyes on so many stylish new items rivals a July 4th fire-sky finale.

The funny thing about hip items is that no words be used. Tote a Bodum travel mug around and just see how many people you draw to you. We don't formally recommend this, but perhaps merely suggest that those who have trouble getting a date, start furnishing their work wardrobe with a kool Bodum coffee mug. Cuz all the girls in the office will want to know where you got it and get this...they'll be drawn to come and ask you...point blank. How much better could things get?

June...Is All About HIM!

As if the world didn't already know that society at large revolves around the minds and doings of men... we thought we'd rub in the idea that this month - it's ALL ABOUT THE MEN. In particular...it's all about the ones who pro create little men so that our world may stay populated and sometimes... downright jam packed in certain areas of the world. In June, a complimentary societal habit of ours is to reward the men of the planet their just due. Thus, in the name of their exclusively gendered brand of 'planetary seed sewing' and worldly contributions.... we have just a few neat nick knacks that we think YOUR MEN would love!

After all, if a man can't busy himself all day long with tinkering, building, collecting, tackling, achieving or conquering...what's a man to do? Some ex-wives might even ask, what are they good for all together? Yet most of the Mothers of the world need only look down at Daddy's little girls and see that brightness and beauty and even world enlightenment can evolve out of the 2 year old terrors that abound presently at their feet. At EHS, and on behalf of all the Father's of the world, we've dedicated a section to the man you love to love! We've got an arsenal of outdoor grills, wine glasses, yard and garden goodies and yes, even the proverbial couch.... where he can snore away to his heart's content.

What ELSE could a man want?
