Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

ezwipers logo

My van has a huge windshield and I depend on good wipers for visibility during rain, snow, or just to clean away the elements that leave a film.  Buying wiper blades at the dealer can be very expensive, the product is marked up so much! Why spend more than you need to?

Anco Wipers

EZwipers sells windshield  wiper blades direct to consumers and they carry several brands!  I received the Anco Series 31 Wipers and they could not have arrived at a better time.  My current wipers were just starting to fail and so when these arrived my husband went right out to install them for me.  What a pleasure to know I have great new blades that work fantastic to keep my windshield clear during all kinds of weather!

So save the money you would spend buying from the dealer and go to EZwipers.com. In a few minutes you will be able to easily order the right blades, you don’t even need to set up an account. Just type in what kind of car you have and EZwipers will find you the right blades.  EZwipers will ship them right to your home and you will appreciate the great service, money and time savings!  Now you can save your money and time for something you really enjoy!!!

Shave

The ShaveTech uses USB powered state-of-the-art technology, so that it can be charged anywhere! Just by plugging the ShaveTech into any standard USB port, he can charge his electric razor with ease, free of the frustration of finding an unoccupied electrical outlet and packing any bulky adaptors.  When not charging, the ShaveTech USB port flips up directly into the razor itself, making it easy to grip for a close shave.

Okay now a practical gift for men or women who really value practicality.  The Smart Sizzors are Scissors that do just about everything.Smart ‘Cut Anything’ Sizzors are multi-function scissors for general purpose use in the home, kitchen, office or workshop. The hardened, curved blades are razor-sharp and perform brilliantly where other scissors just won’t cut it.  Smart Sizzors’ sharp, professional grade hardened steel blades are so effective, you can cut through anything from paper to tough materials like blister packs, credit cards, tough boxes – even chicken bones!

sizzors_1_main

The curved blades are designed for safety and ease of use and prevent any cut edges touching your hands during use. The comfortable soft grip handles work equally well for left or right handed people, and an adjustable tension bolt allows you to tighten them up if they ever work loose, so they keep on working for years.

Gourmet Dinner & Movie Date Night Idea for Under $20!!! #KYDateNight #ad

I am a member of the Collective Bias®  Social Fabric® Community.  This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper amplification for Collective Bias and its advertiser.

KY-Date-Night-#KYDateNight- #cbias-#ad

My husband and I don’t  get the chance to go out by ourselves much.  With five kids, including two little ones, no family nearby and very busy schedules, date nights out of our home are not in the cards at this time.  However, just because we can’t get out for a “date” doesn’t mean we can’t stay in and still have a great date night.

Sure, you need to get a little creative, but where there’s a will there’s a way right?  If you’re in the same boat and want to do something special for you and your love, I hope this inspires you.  My husband and I had a land and sea dinner with balsamic marinated skirt steak and shrimp scampi, all the food was delivered fresh from Plated.com.  We also watched a great movie on Vudu.com which we turned into a real theater experience with popcorn and our favorite movie theater candy.

Do you think that sounds like it might be expensive?  What if I told you that it was included in a special package of K-Y Yours + Mine couples lubricants?  It was, and the K-Y Yours + Mine was under $15 at Walmart.  You can easily spend 6 times that going out to a gourmet dinner and a movie.  You would not even be able to buy 2 movie tickets for $15 in most theaters not to mention the price they charge for popcorn, candy and drinks!

Walmart has specially marked boxes of K-Y Yours + Mine that include gift codes to Plated.com and Vudu.com (a $40 value)!

 KY-Date-Night-#KYDateNight- #cbias-#ad

KY-Date-Night-#KYDateNight- #cbias-#ad

We lucked out big time because Plated.com had a special when we went online to order our dinner and doubled the amount of dinners.  We then picked out a land and a sea option!  On Vudu.com you can browse form hundreds of movies that will stream instantly for you.

There are a lot of ways you can enhance the date night experience at home.  Pinterest can be a great source of inspiration where you can find some date night theme printables that will add a lot of fun.  Pop up some popcorn and instead of eating it out of the bag, put it in some fun popcorn containers, then head off to the big candy bins that are in Walmart and pick out some boxes of your favorites.  You can also whip up some special deserts to have after dinner too!

Put the kids to bed early and then have fun preparing dinner together. My husband and I like to cook and with Plated it was so easy to get to the fun part. Everything was sent fresh to us along with the recipes so there was no shopping or planning on our part. We had a lovely dinner of balsamic marinated skirt steak with creamy, corn polenta and shrimp scampi with cauliflower bruschetta.

After dinner we took our dessert, candy and popcorn into the family room.  We fired up the big screen and browsed the available movies on Vudu.com and picked our movie.

 After movie time, it’s time to move the party upstairs with K-Y Yours + Mine.  We had a date night that rocked all night long!
