We welcome Spring with our newest catalog “Spring Gifts”. Hot buys out of the catalog are the Decorative Rug Collection perfect for all types of rooms and individuals. I’m seriously thinking about picking up a set of the “blocks” design for my apartment which you can see in the picture above. Another great pick? The Topsy Turvy. It is a As Seen on TV product that was designed to produce great looking tomatoes with little effort. With the recent cold spell that hit Florida and other southern states you might have noticed the price of tomatoes sky rocket. A few restaurants have been reported to stop serving them all together!

My last item I found is great for outdoors or if you are having a party this spring in your backyard. What is it? The lighted flower arrangements. Specifically the orchid arrangement caught my eye and would look great in a black vase with perhaps a white tablecloth on top. Those were some of my favorite products, what were yours?

Have you wanted to get a wall painting with a unique pattern? Are you confused on how professionals do these patterns? Our prepasted paintable wall coverings have raised texturing giving an immediate beautiful faux finish to any wall. They install just like regular prepasted wallpaper and can be painted to match your decor or left unpainted for a clean, fresh look. Best of all you can use these on wood, stone or plaster plus other surface areas. Each vinyl design comes on a roll that is 20-1/2″ wide and 11 yards long, for a total of 56 sq. ft for only $11.95!

These Natural Gemstone Tea lights are great for your living room area. With each of these gemstones there is a well or hole in the center that will hold one tea light. Plus these stones have a symbolic meaning and each have a specific healing quality. They are from different types of translucent quartz that is mined in South America, famous for its Gems. The Agate gemstone is thought to provide strength and protection from stress while the Rose Quartz is said to promote love, balance and healing. It’s also important to remember that these stones will vary in size and color as they are naturally occurring stones.  They normally retail for $9.95, but we’ve have marked them down to only $7.95. Get them while they are still in stock.

Who doesn’t like Apple or Blueberry pie? How about sugar cookies and Cinnamon Swirl? If you’re like me at all you love these scents, especially when they are in the oven baking up. These Kitchen Krumblers desert candles seek to make you fall in love all-over-again with these tasty treats. These delicious-smelling 8-oz. jar candles are realistic reproductions of favorite desserts including Apple Cinnamon, Sugar Cookie, Blueberry Crumble and Cinnamon Swirl. They’re about $4.95 each which allows you to stock up on these and like always these make perfect gifts!

The Holidays are now over and it is time to put all away for the following year.  Doesn’t it seem to all go so quick and sure enough the next holiday will sneak up quickly and it will be time to bring it all out again.  I have found it is essential to put back the decorations in a well organized manner.  This way when it is time to decorat again it makes it much easier and easier to find what you are looking for, also a big time saver.  Lakeside has a great deal on Holiday Decoration Organizers starting at only $5.95!

The dreaded New Year’s Resolution and the hope you will achieve it.  I think the problem is when you make a long unrealistic list which makes it too hard to get it all done.  Keep it simple, maybe only one or two things on the list, you can always add to it later.  I know the main one is usually to loose weight.  Again, keep it simple- stick with the 2 main ways to make this happen, good nutrition and exercise.  The Weight Watchers® Cookbook allows you to have incredible food every night and still lose the pounds.  Craving Chinese, Mexican, Thai or even Japenese for dinner?  No problem, and no need to worry about the calories!  This book serves up more than 150 recipes based on Weight Watchers® FlexPoints® Weight Loss System and only for $8.95.

Secondly comes the exercise and for the ones looking to keep this simple- try the Body Togs® Wearable Workouts; turns everyday activities into fat burning workouts.  If you want to lose weight or stay in shape yet don’t like to exercise, this is the breakthrough product you’ve been waiting for.  Body Togs® enhance your daily caloric burn by adding a small amount of anatomically correct weight to your legs and arms.  These innovative weighted sleeves for the arms and calves can be worn discreetly under everyday clothing.  Wearing Body Togs® for 10 hours a day has been scientifically proven to have an effect similar to a 2-mile run.  Good Luck!

Making crafts together with your kids or grandkids is a great activity. Instead of letting them sit in front of the TV you can take the time to make craft hobby projects with then.
