			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- Start Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><!-- End Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><p>One of my favorite things to do in all of my spare time (ha!) is to look for fun and unique things online.  While I’ve been doing my Christmas shopping online, I’ve come across a few things that I thought were so cool and unique and would be fun to share and maybe give you some gift ideas!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.uncommongoods.com" target="_blank">Uncommon Goods</a> is one of my FAVORITE places to find unique items!  It’s the place I go when I have to get something for the person that has everything, you know we all have at least one!</p>
<p>1.  The first thing I found from there is this cool <a href="http://www.uncommongoods.com/product/grandparents-journal?utm_campaign=main+content&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=20101118_B&amp;utm_term=grandparents+journal" target="_blank">Grandparents Journal</a>.  I have lost all of my grandparents, and Tony only has one grandparent still living and one ofour favorite keepsakes is a book that was written by an author that interviewed his Grandpa about his life.  He put it together and we all got copies and it’s justone of the most valuable keepsakes we have.   So, I know that someday our children will appreciate having something along these lines as well as a keepsake and to know more about their heritage and family history.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.maniakmadness.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Journal.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-757 alignnone" title="Journal" src="http://www.maniakmadness.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Journal-254x300.jpg" alt="" width="254" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>2.  Another find from the same site is for the golfers in your life (and we have a LOT in our lives!)  It’s this neat little <a href="http://www.uncommongoods.com/product/golf-scorecard-keeper" target="_blank">Golf Scorecard Keeper</a>.  You can attach your scorecards from your best rounds or famous courses you’ve played and jot down a few notes from the round as well.</p>
<p>3.  If you know me at all, you know that I am obsessed with <a href="http://www.etsy.com" target="_blank">Etsy</a>.  For Mother’s day, I <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">bought myself</span> got a mother’s necklace from the <a href="http://www.thevintagepearl.com/" target="_blank">Vintage Pearl</a>.  I just love having it with the kids’ names on it and their birth stones.  This would make an awesome gift for any mommy for Christmas morning! </p>
<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-762 alignnone" title="daintydrops2" src="http://www.maniakmadness.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/daintydrops2-240x300.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="300" /></p>
<p>4.  The last find for today are these great little storage/totes/containers from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/baffinbags?ref=top_trail" target="_blank">Baffin Bags</a>.  I have several of these that I use in my office and they’re great for the bathroom to hold toilet paper, toiletries, or just about anything else that you want to have available, but concealed in a fashionable way.  She even has some holiday stylesa available now as well!</p>
<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-766 alignnone" title="Baffin" src="http://www.maniakmadness.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Baffin-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></p>
<p>I’m hoping to be able to post some Fun Finds on a regular basis, so stay tuned and I’d love to hear about what Fun Finds you have found too!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- Start Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><!-- End Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><p>Group coupon sites such as <a href="http://www.groupon.com" target="_blank">Groupon</a> and <a href="http://www.livingsocial.com" target="_blank">Living Social</a> are all the rage right now.  And while there are some great deals to be had, they are usually for restaurants, spa services or other things that don’t always pique my interest.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft" title="one Kings Lane" src="http://www.onekingslane.com/App_Themes/Default/graphics/logo_hdr10.gif" alt="" width="270" height="94" />I was recently introduced to <a href="http://www.onekingslane.com/invite/AmyLemaniak" target="_blank">One Kings Lane</a>, which is an online sale site for housewares and home decor from different designers around the world. I’ve gotten some crazy deals on stuff for around our house and each day they have several different sales opening up and they stay open for a day or two.</p>
<p>It’s completely free to setup an account with them and they send you emails when the new sales open up.  I’ve gotten a giant clock for our family room, several blankets for my newborn sessions, picture frames and a few other home decor items.  They have such unique pieces that you really don’t see anywhere else.</p>
<p>Check them out <a href="http://www.mahttp://www.maniakmadness.com/wp-admin/www.onekingslane.com/invite/AmyLemaniakniakmadness.com/wp-admin/www.onekingslane.com/invite/AmyLemaniak" target="_blank">here</a> or at the link above!  Happy Shopping!  <img class="alignright" title="OKL" src="http://www.onekingslane.com/App_Themes/Default/graphics/Events/640_00010862062500000000.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="350" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- Start Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><!-- End Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><p>is shopping for stuff for the new house!  We’ve been using an old kitchen table that we got from a family friend for $5 for the last 7 years.  It worked well, but I can’t wait until our new table arrives.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="Kitchen Table" src="http://images.crateandbarrel.com/is/image/Crate/AvalonExtensionDngTblSC10?$share$" alt="" width="379" height="335" /></p>
<p>I’ve also been drooling over a front loader washer and dryer for MONTHS now (maybe if I love my washer and dryer I’ll love laundry more?)  We just ordered these today!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="Washer" src="http://www.warnersstellian.com/images/prod/lg-Washers-WM2301HR-Large.jpg" alt="" width="214" height="317" /><img class="alignnone" title="Dryer" src="http://www.warnersstellian.com/images/prod/DL2301Rlarge.JPG" alt="" width="250" height="320" /></p>
<p>Now, to just get them all delivered and installed…think that could go off without a hitch?  <img src='http://www.maniakmadness.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':-P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
