Shopping for a need or a wish is good, but shopping for a cause is something else. We tend to shop to satisfy our wants, our needs or even our over-consuming nature, but when we know 100% that our money will –apart from the actual product’s value- go for the support of a very great cause then it definitely worth it. No, that’s not a confession of a shopaholic (although I might be one), that’s just me getting introduced to two great women who put their strengths together for the greater good. Blair, a breast cancer survivor, who found her inner strenght through the aid of her family but also through the priceless support of friends and people she was introduced to while getting through treatment. Blair decided to share her hard and absolutely courageous way towards a healthy life and devotes her time in supporting people with similar experiences. Mimi is the woman next door, wife and mother of three, who’s best-known as the deal-digger. Mixing Blair’s and Mimi’s experiences and expertise I’d say, we get an amazing combination; which I recenlty discovered.
So let me share this amazing discovery with you, or my latest achievement I’d say. Achievement in the sense that my endless spending habit will finally make a difference. And trust me, if you try it once, you are going to love it. So, let me introduce pinkEpromise.com, Mimi’s and Blair’s “baby”, which promises (as it name suggests) to offer you the greatest time-sensitive deals for a wide variety of products but most of all to donate part of the amount you give to the Healing Consciousness Foundation. HCF, apart from helping Blair dealing with the worst of all disease, offers holistic services for women who are getting through hard times, including therapies, wellness and fitness programs and support groups. An absolutely amazing moving gesture both from the aforesaid ladies but also for the organization itself.
I can’t talk for yourself but as far as I am concerned, Mimi’s and Blair’s idea is fantastic, because their move make us also be a better person, meaning that when you know you are helping people around you and not just your – pretty huge – ego, then it obviously makes a difference. After all, you are not a lonely over-consuming person in this world so you owe it to be gentle and thoughtful to others and these ladies give us a lesson for that exact matter. And let’s be honest, you don’t have to change any of your habits, you just need to be aware of a few but undoubtedly important things and consciously make a move towards the common good.
Now, I’m going to show you how I moved towards my latest step in supporting a greatest cause. So, I just came back from a long vacation and from the very first moment I stepped into my home, I realized that my to-do list is ready to explode, and since I always make new plans after a big break, I decided that my magnetic board has no space for more magnets, my personal but also my business Moleskine looks like a huge smudge, not to mention that the pack of post-it notes looks like an old papyrus from the time they spent on my desk. And… as I was browsing for a new possession (that’s another “problem” I have when making plans: shop new stuff, as if the suitcases were not full enough), I came up with the greatest of all ideas, when it comes to planning: a 6ft chalkboard decal. There is no better way to remember all of your pending tasks than having them in front of you on the wall. Also, it’s pretty nice to get an 80% off discount that will allow you to put a second thing in your cart too. But most of all, getting this organization-gem from pinkEpromise.com will allow you to start supporting HCF!
Last but not least, October is breast cancer awareness month but keep in mind that any month is the perfect month to support breast cancer awareness. Don’t waste any more time, get online and be the good person you always wanted to be!

He is one of the two reasons of your existence. He’s every princess’ prince and every boy’s role model. You are so in love with his style and character that you always try to find someone like him, either for a friend or a date. You can even ‘hate’ him for setting up the standards so high! He is your number one inspiration and the reason you ended up so spoiled! And so much more, I would need a whole book to talk about mine and I guess your daddy too! And for all of the above and the ones to follow you have to remind him once more how much you love him and appreciate everything he’s doing for you. Father’s Day is the perfect opportunity to get him that gift you wanted to, and make him happy! But apart from the best dad on earth, your dad is a man too; and we all know that men –be it fathers, brothers, boyfriends- are so obsessed with gadgets and techno stuff that they can even ignore your existence when they have them on their hands!
If you are a man, I’m sure you’ve already got my point for this strange men-technology relationship. If you are a woman, just remember that no, your dad won’t appreciate that much that cute teddy bear or a pink tie! No! I’ve tried that and it didn’t work; the teddy ended up into his Labrador mouth. Yes, really! And from that moment, I decided to respect his wants and get him gifts he would really love to have! To be honest, I think that my dad is a special case, since he knows and has more gadgets and electronics than me and my siblings have all together! Also, his behavior is like he’s in his twenties- always in a good sense. But I’m sure there are countless modern and trend-following dads out there so let me give you some great gift ideas for Father’s Day together with unbelievable promo codes from Couponology that will save you big time!
First off, if you really wanna make your dad happy and his life easier you should get him the iPhone Photo Cube Printer which allows you to connect your iPhone and process your photos without a computer. An amazing gift that will not only allow your dad to print out all those photos he constantly takes of you, but also it will save him time because he won’t need to connect his iPhone to his PC again to make printouts. And luckily enough, you can now get this printer and save with the $10 off Sharper Image promo code! Then, another great gift for dad from SharperImage.com is the Adjustable Tablet Stand. If your dad spends hours with his tablet, either to read the news, play games, talk to you on Skype or even uploading photos of you on Facebook, he will definitely love this gift. This stand allows for hands-free use of your iPad (or any tablet) even when you are lying on your bed, sofa or on whatever crazy idea you might have! Also, this stand can be folded so it won’t need much space while in storage! And the best part is that you can get this gift while saving with the $15 off Sharper Image promo code! Hey! Wait! You are supposed to get those two for your dad first and then for you! Although, to be honest, who would resist this stand?! None!
Secondly, another store I find super cool for Father’s Day gifts is GriffinTechnology.com. And again, my focus is on gadgets; I guess my dad influences me a lot. Has your dad ever told you “how on earth can you click on these tiny letters?” He probably has, and if not, I’m sure he’s thought of it. It’s a matter of size and gender probably, but you still can help him send texts without writing “wekk” instead of “well” or something! You can get him for example the Stylus + Pen + Laser Pointer iPad accessory that has a 3-in-one functionality and also comes with a $20 off discount. Then, to avoid these cases in which you desperately want to talk to your dad while he’s run out of battery, you should get him the TuneFlex Aux Hands Free which is super convenient since it combines charging, hands-free comfort and stand and save big with our exclusive 15% off sitewide Griffin Technology promo code. Now, you can call your dad whenever you want, even to ask him when was the first time you ate an ice-cream; yes, I’d do that! But, anyway, in any case, at Griffin Technology you’ll definitely find something useful for your daddy’s everyday life that want only make him happy but also help him have a device that doesn’t look abused; aka get him a case too!
That been said, there is no intention to suggest that all dads are the same, but that kind of dads I’m talking about are pretty much the same. So, you might not want to get any of the above for your own dad but I promise that you can get the best deals on dad friendly gifts from our endless list of merchants! Just have a look at our special Father’s Day offers and I bet you’ll enjoy shopping for your one and only dad a lot! Oh! And also, since men’s tastes and preferences are endless, and even the same dad might be similarly obsessed with gadgets as he is with gardening, music, cars, pets or all at the same time (my case), I’m sure we’ll have a similar find-the-best-gift-for-dad discussion soon enough! So, see you shortly!
