Magnetic Jewelry Clasps

These genius little attachments really made it easy for my Mom to wear her favorite necklaces. Mom had trouble with grasping small items and after my Dad died she couldn't put on or remove her necklaces or bracelets without help. You can find these a number of places, including eBay, but here is a nice site called Dynamic-living.com that offers them. dynamic-living.com.

These are also great if you are a jewelry maker who would like to add this item to your work! I found them at my favorite craft store in, Michaels in the Jewelry Findings section.

Finally, if you're a sucker for Amazon like I am, you can find them here: CLASPS AT AMAZON.

Favorite Deal Sites

Ok, been a few months but Suzzy is back again with some of my favorite places for great deals!

There are at least two kinds of "deal" sites: the ones like overstock.com that have low prices on a bunch of stuff all the time and the ones on this list that usually just have one or two great deals each day.

The best overall is:

woot.com

woot.com is more than your average deal site. Once a day at midnight CST they throw out a good deal on one item. And it usually is a VERY good deal. It might be refurb but I can tell you that all of the refurb stuff I've bought from them has worked like new. Much of the time it is just new overstock that they are reselling. What makes woot.com better than all the others is the community and the FUN they give away for free. Contests, Woot-Offs (see description here: WOOT-OFF, hilarious daily (M-F) podcasts and so much more.

Here is a list of other nice daily deal sites:

sellout.woot.com - another Woot owned site with daily deals.

Yet another woot.com site: shirt.woot.com - a new, limited edition, artist created t-shirt each day! Even better, they are only $10 each and have free shipping. I have two or three of them already.

tanga.com - great prices on great games for all ages plus other fun stuff for kids and adults alike.

yugster.com - Yugster has 2 or 3 daily deals. If you sign up for their newsletter you can find out about the private and preview sales. WORTH IT! Their shipping has been very good and the items are just as they are described.

So there are a few sites for you to try! I'll put up more in a future blog.
