• A Chippmunk In The House

  

  Hear that? If you hush the children and strain your ears, out yonder in the distance, birds are chirping against a clear, blue sky. Spring! It’s here! Or, almost here, but seriously, just around the corner! Besides all of that green grass, Easter candy and extended sunshine, spring signals the beginning of Occasion Season. Passover, First Communions, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day- not to mention all of the sudden birthday parties, showers and cookouts that will pop up out of nowhere. You need to get your gifting act together, and soon, without breaking the budget and going crazy bouncing from store to store. Lucky for you, you know a certain Chippmunk. Chippmunk organizes the best deals and coupons online in one tidy, convenient place for you. Shop by brand (I’m thinking load up on hostess gifts at Williams-Sonoma) or by price (splurge on flowers for mom at ProFlowers) and have your springtime gifts all mapped out in front of you, saving big time bucks, not to mention precious time, along the way. And wouldn’t you rather spend that time outdoors, anyway?

• Normann Copenhagen Tea Egg

  

  There’s nothing like a cuppa tea after a long, hard day, but if you’re serious about tea, you prefer loose leaf to pre-bagged - but, all the same, you’d rather not sip leaves along with your brewed tea. Steep loose tea easily with this large swizzle stick-style strainer that’s simple to use, clean, and enjoy. The only question remains: Oolong or Earl Grey?
