BuckyBalls

Finally, a grown up toy that no one makes fun of you for!
BuckyBalls are strong powerful magnets that have taken storm on the internet, and have now made their way to retail stores across the globe. These small magnets are capable of forming a countless number of shapes, and can become quite the time waster. My friend told me today that two of his co-workers ended up racing over to Chapters to grab a set of BuckyBalls on their break, since apparently they fly off the shelves quickly!
heres a video of the toy in action:

So, will you be racing out to the nearest retailer to pick yourself up this awesome desk toy? Let us know!

online christmas shopping

Christmas is just around the corner and that means SHOPPING!

Shopping does not always appeal to the everyday person....or scrooge!

Shopping includes traffic, crowds, expenses, money loss, time, energy, and the list goes on and on....

The trend of the season is online shopping! It eliminates actually leaving your home, it avoids busy crowds and traffic, and usually has special deals/discounts and FREE shipping!

Some benefits are convenience, variety, the access to the Internet....where ever you maybe on any device....,better prices, you are able to send gifts (we all have a little wish list don't we?), fewer expenses and intermediaries, you can compare prices to other stores and products, privacy, and you don't have to worry about lines ups or items being out of stock!

Many companies are solely dedicated to online consumers, these companies only exist online and they want you to indulge in the online experience. Some of these organization's that you might be familiar with are Amazon, EBAY, TigersDirect, The Shopping Channel, to only name a few! But now a days many companies are expanding from physical stores to online businesses such as Wal-Mart,Sears, Dell, Sephoria, Sony, Puma, Toys R Us, and many more!

winter sports

Whether there is snow where you live or if its miles away, everybody likes to participate in some sort of sport trend!

Tis the season in Canada as we get ready for many different winter activities! Some of the most common trends of winter activities include:

Snowmobiling - whether it is for lesuire or competition snowmobiling is a very popular and growing activity used by many people all over the world.

Snowboarding and Skiing - if you do not have mountains in your backyard, many people are willing to travel to the mountains to get the "real" experience! There is nothing like the feeling of gliding through snow at top speeds and even competing in competitions across the world!

Snowshoeing - originally made out of wood and rawhide lacing, new and improved snowshoes are made out of lightweight metal, plastic, and synthetic fabrics. These "shoes" work by distributing the weight of the person over a larger area so that the person's foot does not sink completely into the snow, a quality called "flotation".

Ice skating, tobogganing, hockey, curling and many more are trends of the winter or "snow" season!

plaid trend

This year fall trends are falling into winter :) Plaid is not just for the guy cutting down the tree in your backyard, it is a trendy fashion that represents holidays, seasons, and creates an ultimate look no matter your size, height, or gender!

For many years plaid was shown as the embodiment of a rugged masculinity in the form of a "grungy look" or for hunting and lumber jackets! This year we have finally extended the signification of plaid into luxury, casual, ancestry, unique, and a new yearly trend!

Some looks go too far...

....hmmmm
