I firmly believe that if someone were to bring back the Full Service gas station concept they would make a lot of money and cut down on the number of car breakdowns in this country. Until then, we'll have to keep doing everything ourselves, and the Accutire Digital Tire Pressure Gauge can help. It features a large, backlit LCD screen as well as a flashlight aimed in the same direction as the nozzle. It's accurate to within .5 psi, it remembers the correct tire pressure for your car, and it beeps when it verifies the reading.

Keeping the correct tire pressure for your car saves gas and your tires, therefore it saves you money. If it would put the air in for you, too, it would be perfect! Get going on that concept, guys.

This cozy Blue Peaceful Recycled Cotton Scarf is made from leftover material collected from apparel and upholstery factories that would otherwise be discarded. Matching mittens available. Made in the USA, too!

It's a new day and soon to be a new year and a new administration. "All We Are Saying is Give Peace A Chance."

Hand embroidered in fine detail, this Hemp Purse and Phone Pouch Set is woven of natural hemp and cotton in the tradition of northern Thailand. A longan wood latch closes the purse, while the phone holder features a coconut shell button.

What a great gift for the eco-friendly shopper that is looking for style as well as a well-crafted item.

Clean water is rapidly becoming the latest resource to become less available and more exprensive. Your local government or utility asks you conserve, then raises the rate because they lose income. That stinks! And to add insult to injury, your teenager (or dearly beloved) likes to run the shower until the water or bathroom gets hot.

The Ladybug Shower Adapter will help with one of those problems. Every time you turn on the shower, the Ladybug will automatically cut off the water flow as soon as the shower temperature reaches 95 degrees. Say goodbye to wasted water and energy! 

If you don't like a cold bathroom, go buy a small bathroom heater. I did!

Made from the bottom halves of Bordeaux bottles that were "rescued" on the way to the landfill, these glasse have 'Protect Our Earth' written in 4 languages (English, Spanish, Afrikaans and French) along with the branch pattern design. Made in Wisconsin. Set of 4.

Proteqez Notre Terre!

The red poppy grows naturally in conditions of disturbed earth throughout Western Europe. Long before WWI it was a symbol of death, renewal and life. A Canadian surgeon, John McCrae, looked out at a cemetery Northern France and saw the poppies blooming between the rows of headstones and wrote the poem "In Flanders Fields".

If you see a Veteran selling poppy pins, buy one and wear it with pride. Give this Coffee and Poppy Mugs Gift Basket to honor someone as a 'thank you' for their service to their country.

One of the best parts of the Holiday Season is sitting around after a big meal with a nice slice of pecan pie (my favorite) with a nice cup of fresh, hot coffee. This 100% premium Arabica coffee is grown, picked and packaged in the heart of the Andes Mountains by a small community of monks. Thus the name, Monastery Coffee. 

Makes a great host/hostess gift, or keep it for yourself and treat your friends and family to a great cup of coffee. Includes caffeine.

Journey out into the Goldfield Territory of Arizona and pan for real gold on the Gizmo Mining Claim with this Gold Panning Expedition gift certificate. Panning for gold is one of the oldest known methods of extracting this precious metal from the earth, and you don't have to deal with those dark, dangerous mines.

A great addition to the Deluxe Gold Pan Kit (see yesterday's blog), this will give your future gold miner a hand's on lesson from someone who has actual panning experience. Throw in a chorus of "My Darling Clemintine" and they're on their way!
