If anyone here plans on getting their SO a vacuum, here's a wrapping suggestion

**MakersTeleMark** · 12-20-2020, 07:30 PM

Nice double entendre.

Seems a bit aggro to put a trained fighting machine with a gun on a Christmas tree, no?

Peace, Joy, Love kinda thing.

Can't you just stick to your lacquered cookies with sprinkles and the felt things you do?

My wife likes practical gifts.
I got here 4 of these for her birthday and she loves them. We have a refrigerator with freezer drawers and haven't hooked up the ice makers. We were always spilling water all over the inside of the freezer until we got them.

100 days people!

Word on the street is buy early to avoid disappointment esp. anything with a microchip.

**Woodsy** · 09-16-2021, 10:26 PM

10 weeks people which in today's world (i.e. supply chain disruption and slower deliver times) means tomorrow.

Check out this lovely travel accessory - would be great for a warming up après-ski:

I've tried a car seat heater as a DIY boot bag heater. It's better than nothing but far short of the genuine article hahaha.

+1 to get the shopping done NOW. Shipping prices are already through the roof and will get worse. Supplies are already dwindling on items with little hope of enough restocking much before the end of the year..

Damn, KQ, that looks great! I just bought it for my ski racing kiddo, lol.

Unfortunately, my other gift choice is a Black Friday kind of deal (hoping there's a deal), so can't buy now.

With the new OLED version having just come out, I imagine there will be a Black Friday deal on the original one.

Glad to see this bumped.. Wife wants a new area rug for the living room. Color scheme ("colorway" apply to rugs?) mostly cream with royal blue. Current rug is fine IMO, hence the xmas request vs just buying one.

May be beyond your expertise, but any suggestions for retailers?

that's my hope. even if it's full price but has a game or two bundled in would be great.

I got a a couple of rugs through Ruggable for our new house. Cool system in that you lay down the bottom piece then there’s a washable top piece that you can more easily clean. You can also get other tops for like holidays or seasonality or whatever.

It’s been nice with a dog who tracks in mud and grass and who knows what from the backyard.

Just make sure they tie the room together.

Hmmmmm, all the area rugs I've ever purchased have been from local stores so I've no idea about reputable online companies. That said I have heard good things about the rugs mentioned by Super and I've bought some great high traffic area rugs from HD. I particularly like that I was able to order a runner for the kitchen by the foot. Sorry I can't be of more help.
