Color your water.
Temperature Sensitive LED Faucet Lights
Looking to brighten things up around the house? Like your water? These fun LED faucet lights may be just what you need. Not only do temperature sensitive LED faucet lights make the ordinary experience of washing your hands more interesting, but they make it easy for your kids to tell when the sink water is too hot to touch. The light is blue when the water is turned on, but when the temperature reaches 89 degrees F it changes to red to alert you that it's getting hot. The light takes less then a minute to install, and it should fit most faucets. Most temperature sensitive LED faucet lights are priced around $19 (plus the cost of the occassional pack of batteries). Check out the Hog Wild Temperature Controlled Faucet Light, now on clearance for $16.99 at DrugStore.com (search for 'Hog Wild faucet light') or go to Shoplocal.com to find the best online and in-store deals on this product.
Go the extra mile.
Apple Laptops and iPod Engraving
If you're thinking of investing in an expensive gift such as an Apple laptop or iPod for your mom, dad, grad, or yourself, why not go the extra mile and personalize it with a custom design or funny message? Apple offers free engraving on all iPods when you buy online (they only offer laptop engraving for businesses), but the engraving is limited to a couple of lines of text. Some of the quirky iPod engravings I came across read, "iPod, therefore I am," "Kiss me, I've got Irish music", and "I don't do Windows." Although we love all things free, Apple doesn't offer much as far as customization goes. So if want to engrave a fancy custom design onto a laptop or iPod, check out websites like etchstar.com and hitechtattoos.com that offer custom engraving services. The one drawback of engraving is that it brings down the resale value of your electronics. But, hey, if this isn't a concern to you, go on and give your metal an edge. Looking for deals on Apple products such as Mac laptops or iPods? Look no further. Compare prices on Apple products now at Shoplocal.com

You want my boots.

A designer bird bath at a bargain price.
Illuminarie Swirl Bird Bath $32.99
If you're looking for something new and unique to add to your garden or yard this Spring, check out this beautiful Illuminarie Swirl Bird Bath. Shown here in red, this bird bath is a refreshing take on the traditional cement bird bath that's plain old bor-ing. What's cool about this hand-crafted blown glass bird bath is that it has luminescent crystals inside of it that emit a romantic glow for up to four hours after dusk. The bath measures 39" in height by 11.5 " in diameter, and it stands on a wrought iron frame that features a powder coat finish. If you dig it, you can buy it online or in-store at your local Target store.
