When I was in elementary school, I made my mom a necklace for Mother’s Day that I was really proud to give. There was a glitch, though – it was made of clay, which can get really heavy, especially when the beads are the size of quarters and there are about 50 of ‘em. Years later, I found the necklace under the washroom sink.

Sometimes it’s the thought that counts, but how about making something that your recipient will actually use?

During a fund-raising event at his elementary school years ago, my brother won a small jelly-bean dispenser from a raffle. Seeing how much I wanted it, he gave it to me…after I forked over $5, of course. We used it so much (and ate so many yummy jelly beans) that the little plastic knob actually broke off!

Today I came across the Jelly Belly site. Lo and behold, they have dispensers…and plenty of gourmet jelly-bean options to boot!

Beanie Top, Make the Sugar Stop

I’ve been a witness to the everyday miracles that musical therapists perform in hospitals. No matter how much pain or sadness the patients feel, a song sung and played by a well-meaning stranger can transcend the effects of medication.

When my brother was in high school, he was crazy into comics. Just so you understand his fanaticism: I wasn’t allowed to enter his room while he was reading them! He thought that I would somehow damage it or, heaven forbid, crease a page! *Gasp for dramatic effect*

Too bad they didn’t have Marvel Digital Comics back in the day. Then I wouldn’t have been accused of crinkling his comics just by breathing on them…from 5 feet away. (Apparently, Atomica is that powerful.)

99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall

Pop It like It’s Hot

The Buy: Nostalgia Electrics Old Fashioned Kettle Popcorn Maker

Unfortunately, I’ve had to sit through some pretty terrible movies, but being able to nibble on fresh buttered popcorn the whole time kept me happy…and quiet (so I couldn’t mumble sarcastic remarks).

This popcorn machine looks just like the carnival variety from the 50s. There’s a stirring system so each kernel will be flavored expertly, and you won’t be stuck with those nasty charred pieces that nobody eats.
