Cool Product ’ Category
The beginning of the school year is a perfect time to get your children organized. I’ve found some ‘cool products’ that are sure to keep mornings calm and the kids on track…
Lillian Vernon has a few that I thought would be helpful. The first ‘Cool Product’ is the Days of the Week Hanging Organizer.
How many of you have fought the ‘What am I Going to Wear Today?’ battle…and lost? Check the weather report and the kids’ schedules and fill each compartment with clothes and accessories for the week. No more morning hassles and “Where is my…?” questions.
It comes in two styles–one that hangs in the closet and one that hangs over the door–choose whichever works best for your child’s space.
The second ‘Cool Product’ is Personalized Pencils
When I was a elementary school teacher, my students were always losing their pencils and accusing each other of taking them. With the personalized pencils, your child will always know if someone has ‘borrowed’ one by mistake. They’ll be more likely to keep them safe from loss, too. Your child will always be prepared with a pencil!
The third Cool Back to School Product from Lillian Vernon is the Over-the-Door Library Center–a great way to organize children’s books. Designate one or two spots for library books and you’ll always be able to find them when it’s time to return them. That’s what being organized is all about: Being able to find the things you need when you need them.
It’s never too late to get your kids organized for the school year!
When I was growing up, I lived in a very tight space–not much room for collections or ‘extras.’ But, the one thing I chose to collect was Playbills.
I grew up in one of the five boroughs of NYC and always had a love of theater. Broadway was only a subway away and over the years I came to collect many Playbills from shows I had seen. I kept them in shoeboxes under my bed–that was my inexpensive way of keeping them organized.
I have since graduated from shoe boxes to clear containers but I just found out about a great product and wanted to pass it on to you. A client of mine sees a lot of shows and like me, enjoys keeping the Playbills. She did a little research and found the ‘Playbill Binder.’
They come in a few different sizes–one for contemporary-sized Playbills. one for a collection of larger sized and contemporary Playbills and one economically-priced binder for Playbills of any size.
You don’t have to be a lover of Broadway to use this product. Maybe you’re a proud parent or grandparent and want to keep the ‘playbills’ from dance recitals and band performances. Maybe you do community theater in your neighborhood and wish to hold onto the playbills from the shows you perform in. Whatever your needs are, the Playbill Binder is a great investment for keeping Playbills from getting bent out of shape or lost in the shuffle.
Maybe it’s time for me to graduate from clear containers to the Playbill Binder???
Have you finished your turkey leftovers yet? Good–now it’s time to buckle down and get ready for the rest of the ho-ho-holiday season.
Today’s ‘Cool Product’ goes out to those who celebrate Christmas. I have worked with many clients at the holiday season who have special dishes for the Christmas holiday. At least half of them store them in a cardboard box wrapped in newspaper. Half of those people never utilize their dishes because in the hustle and bustle of the season, they can’t find the time or energy to unwrap dishes (cups and platters, too), wash them and then rewrap and store them after the holidays.
If this sounds like you or someone you know, check out Lillian Vernon’s ‘Jolly Holly’ quilted/padded dinnerware storage pieces. Whether it’s the fine china you inherited from Grandma or the wine glasses you rarely use, I recommend storing them in these types of dinnerware storage pieces–also called ‘China Keepers.’ The come in canvas or plastic and come with cardboard or flat/foam dividers to separate each dish.
Why the ‘Jolly Holly’ storage pieces for your Christmas dishes? Placing your Christmas dishes in Christmas-themed storage pieces will help you identify them very quickly on the shelves of an overstuffed closet or basement/attic space. Who has time during the holidays to hunt down dishes? Gotta make life easy and less stressful during the month of December and that’s what these ‘Jolly Holly’ china keepers do.
