Seeing Clearly Now! ~ EyeBuyDirect {Review & Giveaway}

Still struggling to find that perfect Father's Day gift? Have you ever considered something as thoughtful yet practical like new affordable prescription glasses? The thought hadn't occurred to me and yet my poor husband Joe has needed a new pair of glasses for over a year!

After I got eye surgery (PRK if you want to get technical) and didn't need glasses we no longer thought it was worth it to buy into my company's vision plan. Buying glasses then became a bigger hassle and something that my husband avoided even though he had horrible scratches in his lenses. He attempted to purchase them online but ended up with glasses that were way bigger than he thought and totally drowned out his face. That is why we are happy to have discovered EyeBuyDirect!
According to their website, EyeBuyDirect Inc. is a global prescription lab and optical retailer specializing in the volume production of affordable prescription eyeglasses. As a manufacturer, supplier and retailer of optical supplies, EyeBuyDirect is not only involved in every step of the eyewear production and distribution process, but has also developed an efficient, streamline approach to the optics supply chain.

The ordering process was very smooth and Joe had no problems finding a frame he liked from their vast selection. We love his new glasses in the Hudson style and he admits he hasn't seen this good in a very long time! They even come with a 14 day money back guarantee.


Discount: EyeBuyDirect is currently offering 20% off gift vouchers and select bestselling frames for that special man in your life until Father's Day! How easy yet unique would this be for a Father's Day gift?

It's About Time!~Inexpensive Watches {Review & Giveaway}

Isn't it about time you got yourself a new watch? I know I was in desperate need of one. I haven't had a watch for that last two years simply because my last watch broke. I never got around to replacing it even though I found using my cell phone to tell time a pain. When I was given the opportunity to choose a watch from Inexpensive Watches I was excited to finally have a watch again but found it hard to choose. There are well over 100 styles for women and so many different types. I finally settled on the Vanessa Enamel Cuff in black because I wanted one that looked like a piece of jewelry and would look nice to wear to work.

I certainly wasn't disappointed. I thought it might slip on my wrist and become annoying but it stayed in place and fit around my wrist nicely. It is heavier and sturdy but not so much that I find wearing it annoying. My favorite features are the overall look and the face of the watch. The number font along with the bright white background makes it easy to quickly tell the time. My 2 1/2 year old Lucian also loves putting in on for me!
Inexpensive Watches carries a wide variety of quality watches at a great discount. As the name suggests, their watches are all very reasonably priced at under $40. They work directly with manufacturers to pass the savings on to you and ship within 24 hours! Great customer service is important to Inexpensive Watches and they offer a 100% money back guarantee.
Searching for the perfect gift for the man in your life? Inexpensive Watches also has a fabulous selection of men's watches with the same unbeatable prices and nice selection that you'll find for women. Here are just a couple that caught my eye!

Waiting for me to finally get the exciting part?

Inexpensive Watches would like to give TWO of my readers a $25 gift certificate! They are also offering you 15% off with discount code "blmama" which is good through July 1st, 2009.

Win it: Visit Inexpensive Watches and tell me your favorite women's watch.

Thoughtful Father's Day Gifts fom Things Remembered {Review & Giveaway}

Finding the perfect Father's Day gift isn't easy and finding one that is special is even tougher. That's why I love knowing I can go to Things Remembered and get some great ideas for the men in my life to let them know they are appreciated!

I chose the personalized USB drive for my dear computer savvy husband! It will be perfect for storing pictures of our kids and other miscellaneous files. I had it engraved, "We love you Daddy - L & W" Every time he goes to use it he will be reminded of his little boys and how much he is loved. I wish I could show you a picture but my camera doesn't cooperate when I try to take pictures of anything shiny. And boy is it shiny! It has a heavier weight and high quality key chain for easy portability. The only downside is that it is small so there isn't a lot of engraving room for a longer message. But nonetheless it is a great choice for almost any Dad!

Here are some great gift ideas for the man in your life, including the USB drive with keyring. All are very affordable at only $25 (engraving not included).

Personalized USB Drive – Things Remembered introduces a timeless silver-plated flash drive that comes on a convenient key-ring and holds up to one gig of information. Personalize it with his contact information in case it ever gets lost, and don’t forget to add favorite photos of dad or grandpa to the drive before gifting it.

Photo Mouse Pad – Perfect for dad or grandpa, now he can keep the family close at hand even when he’s hard at work. This silver-plated mouse pad offers room to display a 4”x4” picture, along with room to engrave a special Father’s Day message.

Photo Cuff Links – Whether he’s working long hours at the office or away on business, it’s important he still keep loved ones close. Each of these handsome silver cuff links opens to reveal a spot to store two pictures. Engrave his initials on the face to make the gift even more inspired.

Things Remembered wants to give one of my readers a Father's Day gift. Choose from the mouse pad, photo cuff links or USB drive as shown above!

Win it: Visit Things Remembered and tell me something you found that would be a perfect Father's Day gift for a man in your life.
