Fisher-Price's Sing-A-Ma-Jigs

If you haven't met them yet, it's time and I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to introduce you to Fisher-Price's Sing-A-Ma-Jigs. They're a group of plush toys or dolls that chat, sing and most importantly harmonize.  Put a group of them together and that's what they do ~ harmonize. They're fun and they're popular this Christmas.

If you searching for a sing-a-ma-jig or two (or maybe the whole chorus) for someone in your family, I recommend you drop by my page, Fisher-Price's Sing-A-Ma-Jig Singing Plush Dolls, which is dedicated to the complete collection. On that page, you can read a bit more about these dolls, see them in action in a video and find the complete collection.

So if you are faithful for a year or two, you can see exactly what you were doing on that same day a year ago, or two years ago. 5 Lines a day is a fascinating way to journal!

Taylor Digital Measuring Cup and Scale

The Taylor Digital Measuring Cup and Scale is a brand-new device that cooks will love. No more worrying about leveling off the sugar in the measuring cup or, for that matter, worrying about whether the flour should be packed in, scooped, or spooned. No more squinting to find the exact measure line for the water, oil, or milk either.

Instead, this clever invention weighs the ingredients and converts the weight to the unit you need, mililiters, cups, fluid ounces, grams, or pounds, then displays the measurement on the handle in nice, big, clear LED digits. Capacity is 1 liter or 4.4 pounds (2 kg).

The Taylor digital measuring cup has just become available and I've only found two customer reviews so far, but both were positive and people I've showed this to seem to really love it. At $29.99 it may seem a bit pricey, but what a great gift for a meticulous chef who loves to get those recipe measurements just right! Besides, it ships free with Amazon's Super-Saver Shipping.

Beatles Remastered In Stereo and Mono Box Sets

The Beatles Remastered!

It has been a while since the Beatles created as much excitement as they did this year on September 9th when they released two remastered collections of their music. Almost instantaneously, both The Beatles Stereo Box Set and The Beatles Mono Box Set sold out.

You can bet that these exciting new box sets are going to appear on many Christmas wish lists this year as they appeal to everyone, from the long-time Beatles fans to the young crowd who knows and loves the Beatles, too. If you are buying a Beatles remastered set for someone in your life, you have two choices then, the stereo box set or the mono box set.

If your Beatles fan is a purist, you might want to choose the mono recordings so that the music is exactly as the Beatles recorded it. 'Mono' features the production of sound on one channel and is the way The Beatles recorded most of their albums. This set contains the first ten albums in re-mastered mono and a mono masters disc. To read more about the Beatles mono set, click here.

If, however, your Beatles fan is not a purist and prefers a more natural sound, you might want to choose the stereo boxed set. Stereo sound features the production of sound on two or more channels listened to through two or more speakers, which gives the more natural feeling of sound coming from various directions. The stereo set includes thirteen remastered albums and a past masters disc. To read more about the Beatles stereo set, click here.

Either set allows the listener to hear the Beatles like they have never heard them before!

If you do want to share some of this modern-day Beatlemania excitement with someone you love at Christmas time, you might want to consider ordering your Beatles boxed sets with Amazon now since both sets sold out on September 9th. Doing so will make sure you are already in line for a copy when the next copies become available!
