My sister-in-law owns a cute little shop and this year I found a great book there…Scared if Santa.
It was filled with awesome shots of kids screaming and Santa.
Voila.

Crappy Wrappy…

Filed under: Noisiness. — Nikki @ 7:27 pm

 

When it comes to wrapping presents, most men tend to take a utilitarian approach.

The paper is likely to be roughly chopped, the sticky tape applied in industrial quantities and as for bows and ribbons — forget it.

It’s perhaps not surprising that presented with an immaculately wrapped gift, many women become suspicious that it may not have received the personal touch.

But one UK retailer is providing a wrapping service so shoddy the recipient will be left in no doubt her partner did it.

Firebox.com is paying 20 of its male forklift truck drivers and warehouse assistants to wrap presents as quickly as possible, using ugly brown duct tape and very little care.

And the $9 service, cheekily called CrapWrap, has attracted more than 500 customers since it launched last week.

Whether it’s a book, DVD or something trickier such as a kitchen utensil, the team guarantees to make a mess of it.

Parcels can even be dispatched in brown paper with a shoddily-tied pink ribbon.

Kevin Smith, 29, is proud to be the worst wrapper at the company’s London warehouse.

He said: “I am rubbish. We’re not given any instructions. I’m just asked to make a hash of it using lots of brown tape and making sure there are rips and untidy folds.

“It’s nice to get away from the normal work: cleaning, packing and moving stuff around. Wrapping is a good distraction.”

Why a stylist should be on your payroll….

Filed under: Noisiness. — Nikki @ 5:28 pm

First of all, we know in this shallow world of razzle dazzle with no filler, a great band is something rare and something to be cherished. For example check out The Kings of Leon. These guys are not only super talented, they are relevant and entertaining. (Did I mention they are also super cute AND brothers well …3 brothers and a cousin…) Any-whoo….dig it….

 

 See how cute and well put together they are?

Let’s have a look at The Kings of Leon (pre-stylist) when they were complete unknowns.

See what happens when you leave the boys to dress themselves?

Keep in mind that they had dressed for a PHOTO SHOOT and this was what they came up with.

To be honest I am a bit of a snob and prefer to keep my music to myself so I have to give a shout out to my brother in law for letting me in on his little secret. Kids throw away your Linkin Park and Fall out Boy…time to get real.
