New Product Tuesday with Miracle Socks

November 22, 2011 – 8:30 am by Savvy Shopper

Like most people, you probably don’t put socks at the top of your holiday wish list. But if you’re a frequent flyer or artists’ model, you might want to ask Santa to drop a pair or two of Miracle Socks down the chimney this year. Remaining motionless for long periods of time increases your chances of developing dangerous blood clots in the legs, sometimes resulting in heart attack or stroke. Compression stockings like Miracle Socks have been shown to improve circulation and reduce the risk of symptomless blood clots during long flights, or any time you have to sit for long periods. And Miracle Socks look just like regular socks, so no one will know you’re wearing them. Don’t depend on Santa, because he might just keep your Miracle Socks to wear on his upcoming overnight flight. Better buy a couple pair for yourself. It’s a BOGO offer. Here’s where to order Miracle Socks.

New Product Tuesday with BlanKid Buddy 4-in-1 Plush Animal Toy

November 1, 2011 – 10:02 am by Savvy Shopper

You’re probably familiar with Pillow Pets, stuffed animals which change like Transformers into comfy kid pillows. Since their introduction a few years back, they’ve inspired other dual-purpose plushy toys like Happy Nappers (also turns into a pillow), Pawggles (turns into slippers) and Treasure Chest Pets (hidden storage compartment). Now BlanKid Buddy ups the ante with the first 4-in-1 stuffed toy. What is BlanKid Buddy other than a stuffed animal? Just watch the commercial and listen to the catchy jingle — “It’s a blanket, a backpack and a pillow too!” Now that’s the kind of multitasking functionality today’s kid can really appreciate. Choose Pailou the Panda, Makemba the Monkey or Lula the Ladybug. Here’s where to order BllanKid Buddy with a special BOGO offer (just pay S&H).

New Product Tuesday with Plaque Blast

October 25, 2011 – 10:40 am by Savvy Shopper

If you’ve seen both TV commercials, you might think Plaque Blast is just a knockoff of the very successful Plaque Attack. Both pet products claim to eliminate bad breath, whiten teeth, plus control tartar, plaque and bacteria in dogs and cats. The big difference? Dr. George’s Plaque Blast doesn’t contain any alcohol, which can be bad for your pet.

Dogs and cats often need to go under general anesthetic for teeth cleanings or other dental work, and it’s expensive and traumatic for your pet. Regular use of Plaque Blast can help keep teeth and gums healthy and reduce the need to visit the vet for dental care. So when your pet wants to be close, but its breath is brutally gross, Plaque Blast really improves quality of life for both of you. Here’s where to order.

New Product Tuesday with Snap-On Feathers

October 11, 2011 – 9:08 am by Savvy Shopper

I’m not into feather hair extensions. The last time I had feathers in my hair, it was because I slept on a ripped pillowcase. Incredibly, it’s possible the root of this hair fashion trend is sexy senior citizen world’s oldest androgynous teenager Steven Tyler. The Aerosmith frontman often sported a feather in his hair while judging the past season of American Idol. So dude looks like a crazy bird lady on national TV, and suddenly hair salons all over the country are charging big bucks to weave feathers into your hair. But just like perms and hair color, women and girls of modest means want a cheaper way to do it at home.

Enter Snap-On Feathers, the clip-on version of feather extensions, as endorsed by teen pop sensation Carishma (not pictured here). Actually, I’m not familiar with Carishma, and she’s probably not all that successful if she’s appearing in a low budget As Seen on TV commercial. But even if she’s not a sensation, she does look sensational. Plus, her song “Glow in the Dark” sounds a lot like a Britney Spears track I heard a while back when I accidentally wandered into H&M. So she’s got that going for her.

Anyway, I’d much rather have bird feathers in my hair than bird poop. If you think this fowl look is fair, here’s where to order Snap-On Feathers.

New Product Tuesday with Heel Dock

October 4, 2011 – 8:00 am by Savvy Shopper

As Seen on TV marketers are always looking for new products that solve everyday problems. Sometimes, they have to invent the problem, then convince you to buy a product to solve it. Today’s new product is a perfect example. Does the dirt, grit and grime that collect on your car’s floor mat noticeably scuff the heel of your shoe? It does? Then you may be a prospect for the Heel Dock, a small carpeted square designed to protect the heel of your shoe from that nasty mat, and protect the mat from your nasty shoe. Heel scuffing is an almost plausible problem, but do you really need to protect your car’s floor mat?

Almost every car and SUV has floor mats to protect the carpeting, because floor mats can be removed for cleaning and even replaced if they wear out. Now we’re being asked to buy the Heel Dock to protect the protective mat. But what protects the Heel Dock? A Heel Dock mat?

Maybe I just don’t get it. Perhaps, ever since you became a licensed driver, you’ve suffered the agony of scuffed heels and worn mats. You’ve been waiting and watching for a product like this. Today’s your lucky day. Your wait is over. Here’s where to order the Heel Dock.

New Product Tuesday with Forever Lazy

September 27, 2011 – 9:07 am by Savvy Shopper

Introducing Forever Lazy, adult-size toddler pajamas made from the same toasty polar fleece used to make the Snuggie. You won’t be surprised to learn this warming wearable is marketed by Allstar, the same folks that convinced the American public to buy millions of cozy Snuggies a few years back. Forever Lazy is not just a blanket with sleeves. No, this revolution in lounging is a blanket with sleeves, legs, hood, and zippered flaps front and back for convenient access when nature calls.

I care not what you do in your own abode. Feel free to laze around 24 hours a day in your fleecy lazywear. But I would really prefer to not see you wearing your Forever Lazy in public. I’ll make an exception for Walmart, where I can avoid you because I don’t shop there, and where apparently the precedent has already been established. But no Forever Lazy pub crawls, please, or movie night at the local multiplex. Don’t wear it while tailgating or at the big game. Don’t even wear it to McDonalds unless you’re using the drive-thru. What happens in Forever Lazy should happen at home. Here’s where to order yours, in your choice of size and color.
