Breaking News: Outdoor Holiday Lights

colleen — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 22:07:41 +0000

Hopefully you really decked out the house for Halloween. Jack-o’-lanterns, spooky cobwebs, maybe even a few lanterns hanging from the porch to light the ghosts and ghouls way in Old Hallow’s Eve. Children must have loved it, but now it’s time to switch gears and think about more mature, warm, inviting holiday lighting. Think candles in the windowsill, lights around the bare-boned trees, maybe a holiday wreath on the door with some glittering tinsel. When the temperature begins to drop, the cosiness and warmth of your home needs to rise! And that involves exterior lighting.

Some of the top hits for holiday lighting:

Electric Windowsill Candle from Piperclassics.com: $15.99

Cute design with a warm glow, this candle has an antique finish to make your home look even warmer.

Net LED lights from SaveOnCrafts.com: $11.29/sheet

This is perfect to drape evenly on trees, bushes, and shrubbery. Decorate without all the hassle!

The Best Hedge Trimmers

evette — Tue, 20 May 2008 17:44:27 +0000

Once upon a time the bushes that divided our lawn from that of our creepy neighbors was a solid, clean square bush. Now it looks like a wild green blob that exploded and is dead set on filling the entire garden! Time to give that wild and crazy bush a good trimming, wow that didn’t sound right did it?

Well check out the self proclaimed Best Hedge Trimmers from Hammacher Schlemmer. This electric hedge trimmer was selected best in tests conducted by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute for cutting ability, handling, and safety.

The blades are made of high-carbon steel and coated in titanium–renowned for its corrosion-resistance- -helping them to retain their sharpness for the most reliable cutting performance available. Its comfortable cushioned grip allows both left-and right-handed users to efficiently operate the trimmer, and panelists noted that this model generated the least amount of vibration and was the easiest to maneuver due to its blade length, unlike heavier, unbalanced longer-bladed models. A safety lock on the handle instantly turns the trimmer off when you remove your finger from the handle.
