Digital pricing tags may not be popular here yet but in Singapore and other parts of the world – like South Africa – already started digital price tags. Japan had digital price tags since 2006 – and some parts of USA has digital price tags. So what are the pros and cons of digital price tagging?
I say it makes everything easier for the night shift fellas - who needs to take stock and re – price everything if they needed to go on sale or not on sale. The cons – would be – the hacking part into the store – I haven’t heard of any yet – but we’ll have to see eh. So how much is changing everything into digital price tagging? I figured it must be a lot – but no one had reported the cost as of yet – but small businesses like ours – I doubt you will see digital price tagging anytime soon. Even Walmart may not go digital price tagging – since they won’t even chipped their debit and credit card machine.
I am determined to get a scooter this spring – since I don’t want to drive. I figured it shouldn’t be difficult to maneuver a scooter right? And I want a swanky looking one too.
But my daughter had other ideas – because she wants to go riding with me – but she was scared just to sit behind me. So we figured maybe if i had a scooter than had a side car – she wouldn’t be too afraid – and she wanted it pink – I think I can lived with it.
This custom made scooter is fantabulous! I want to get something like that.
And of course, some Hello Kitty stickers like the one above – now that would be perfect but I know for sure the spouse would never ride in that – hahahah!
For those who grew up in the Pac Man era, won’t you like to hang something like this in your yard? I would definitely buy one if there is one for sale – so funny and brings back loads of memories. I looked everywhere for it but can’t find one to buy – so if you know where I can get some of the above – let me know eh. Alternatively, you can get some of these USB Pac Man lights from Brando.com.
Yes, we are attending a wedding before the end of the year – in fact it is almost at the end of the year – it’s a wedding of a customer of the store – who turned into a friend this year. It’s on the 30th of this month and we are all excited for him because he really has a very nice fiancee – we really liked her. So we’ve been looking for congratulations gifts for about a month now and still can’t decide what to give. Should we just give cash – which would make us look so impersonal but what would be a great gift for the newly wed? Lucky for us – we found a place with many suggestions – and bought something really nice that they would both loved. But I got side-tracked and bought some personalized memo sheet refills for my kid’s teacher. They were so cheap and so cute – I had to get them for her. Coming back to the wedding – I hope it wouldn’t snow at all that day and the roads are clear ! because we really wanna attend the wedding.
Yes! pretty cool right? Christmas is just 2 days away and we finally got our shed house lights up – and this is a DIY project that the spouse and I copied from another friend who lived down the road. Actually is pretty easy but of course, we needed electrical help from a friend and it didn’t cost us anything – pretty snazzy if you asked me.
It’s actually called the Free Hand Gloves but I called it the free finger gloves because for text messaging or holding your camera to click and take a picture – you only need like 2 fingers ! and this has gotta be the coolest invention for all who lives in a cold country like USA and Canada.
You lift off the fingers you need to use to do your texting and clicking your camera and that’s it – you don’t have to remove your entire gloves and freeze anymore. Pretty cool right? Buy them from FAB for a special price now – or go to Freehands.com – and get it from $10 – $40. The newest and made of leather ones are a bit more pricier at $70 but the index finger and thumb caps are held back with magnets and made of real leather. For the modern girl in you or a girlfriend who is hard to buy for this Christmas – pick this free fingers gloves and she will loved it.
So someone asked me – how do geeks shop for Christmas? in which I had to laugh because we shop for all our gifts online – wherelse and how else right? how can one be called a techy chick when we don’t find the best things in life on the internet. I shop for cigars for the outlaws and the uncles on an internet cigar stores – there are so many internet cigar stores to choose from – and when you find one that you like – you order from them always. I have some internet stores that I rely on for all my gifts – whether for myself, for the spouse or the kid – I know I can count on these stores for the perfect gift that you can’t find elsewhere. I don’t know what we would do without the internet eh.
Pink is definitely pretty – but you must be wondering what do they do right? I wondered too – I walked around Staples the other day and saw these on sale. So I looked at it – and it didn’t really tell me a lot. These buckyballs has 216 neo-magnet balls and are made with nickel finish. Well, I found a video on youtube on it – and it looked pretty fun – basically – you just turned them into things and shapes you want. Apparently, these are made to relieve stress but not for kids to play with – guess they are afraid that kids may swallow them – and I won’t rule that out – because I pushed an eraser into my nose when I was a kid. What was I thinking right? Pretty amusing – and it would cost you like $30 for them – after shipping.
A very interesting lamp when lighted up but a pretty simple one too – using multi-color rubber band – the glass is made out of blown glass and definitely a great piece of decor and lamp for a corner table – but to spend $120 for a lamp – well, if i had the extra money – no problem at all. But when it isn’t lighted up – it sure doesn’t look as beautiful nor as interesting.
During the summer, the spouse and his nephews from Toronto went treasure hunting at the Bunkers Island with some garretts metal detectors that they had been given for Christmas last year. So this year’s Christmas – the kid had asked for one of those metal detectors as well – in her Christmas wish list. I’m guessing the reason why she wanted one for her own is because her cousins didn’t let her play with theirs when they had gone to Bunkers island during summer – so she didn’t have a lot of fun. The metal detectors can be bought at a local store in the mall – and the prices range from $100 – $1000 – depending on how detailed you want the detectors to be. I read some reviews on the metal detectors – and some were said to be very good on detection and identification of the object and I want one that is easy to use – since the kid is so young. I also prefer a light weight metal detector for her, so that she don’t abandon it halfway through their treasure hunting. Oh well, I want her to have fun with her cousins during the summer – so we will go ahead and get that for her.
