January 6th – It was on this day in history in 1958 that Gibson patented the Flying V guitar. Not only was this a cool-looking instrument, it produced such electrifying sounds. Unfortunately, the V guitar concept didn’t sell too well and the line was discontinued in 1958. But there are still those who loved this guitar and are now having a hard time finding one. Am I right? Well, although I can’t find you a Flying V guitar, I’ve found something even better: The Warlock Guitar! It’s in close relation to the V guitar except it mimics another letter of the alphabet, “X”. It offers a unique look and super-charged sound that guitar lovers will fall head over heels for. So, wondering where you can find this guitar. I won’t only tell you where you can get it; I’ll tell you how to get it for less! Scoot on over to Instrument Pro – the music lover’s dream shack.

Epiphany - The Epiphany means a whole bunch of things to different people and cultures. For starters, the evening of January 5th is the Twelfth Night of Christmas. I’m sure you’re familiar with the Christmas tune, “12 Days of Christmas.” To put it simply, the 12 days of Christmas anticipates the Epiphany. The traditional aspect is mostly seen throughout Europe. Although I know many people still celebrate the Epiphany in North America, my family included. Every January 6th, a figure called the “Befana” would visit and leave small gifts under our beds or in our stockings. The Befana is popularly associated with the Epiphany in Italian culture. In other cultures, the Epiphany marks the day to take down any Christmas greenery. The Epiphany is also associated with pastries and home baked foods shared among family and friends. Now that the traditional aspect is out of the way, I can finally tell you what I used to receive from the Befana every year. I know it’s funny…I used to get – MAGAZINES! Whether you celebrate or not, give the gift of a magazine subscription from Magazines.com. Save $5 on subscriptions like US, Martha Stewart Living and more when you use Magazines.com coupons.

Cuddle up Day – Aww, shall we? Who doesn’t love cuddling? Come on! It’s only like the best thing to do with someone you care about, a pillow or a soft cozy blanket. Depending on how cold it is where you reside, cuddling may be your only option. No one can label you for being lazy. Today is Cuddle up Day so you have full permission to go home after work and cuddle up with anyone who enjoys cuddling as much as you do! Hmm, that could be a tough mission. I’ll tell you why. I once watched an episode of Friends where Ross and Chandler hated cuddling with their girlfriends, Rachel and Janice. So Ross tells Chandler of the “hug and roll,” maneuver he does every time he’s stuck cuddling with Rachel. When Chandler tries this, he literally rolls Janice off the bed and she has a tensor bandage on her arm the rest of the show. It was a riot! If you live by yourself and have only a pillow or a book to cuddle up with, then that’ll work too. As long as you feel warm and fuzzy all over, that’s all that counts. I have a better idea: why not cuddle up to some soft and luxurious pajamas from Hanes? Save 15% on Hanes sleepwear and loungewear for the whole family when you use Hanes coupons.
