HOLIDAY TO DO NOTEPAD - HOLIDAY GIFTS AND TASKS PLANNING

Now that summer is coming to a close, the holidays will be here before we know it.  Some of you are awesome planners and your holiday shopping is just about done.  You might think of hitting the sales on Black Friday or maybe you just need a couple stocking stuffers left from your favorite store, aka PerpetualKid.com!  But otherwise you’re feeling good about the upcoming holidays.

Let’s face it though; most of us are not prepared at all.  In fact it’s quite possible that we’ll be doing the most of our shopping on the eve of the actual holiday we’re shopping for, be it Chanukah or Christmas or any other favorite holiday you celebrate.  If you fall into that category, the holidays can be super stressful.  When you leave everything until the last minute, there’s always a chance that you’ll forget something.

But don’t worry procrastinators, we have a solution for you!  Check out our new Holiday To Do Notepad.  You can still save your shopping until the last minute but our Holiday To Do Notepad will keep you organized and diminish your holiday stress when the time comes!  What more could you ask for from a to-do list?

TOOTHPASTE HEADS - CAT & DOG NOVELTY TOOTHPASTE CAPS

Seriously, who enjoys brushing their teeth?   You do?  Well I won’t call you a weirdo but… let’s just say you’re probably in the minority here.  Most of us, kids or adults, do not actually enjoy the act of brushing our teeth.  We like that they get clean and we like that it prevents us from having to visit the dentist more often but really… there is no fun in brushing your teeth.

We can remember those red tablets they gave us as kids.  We’d brush our teeth like we normally do and then chew up one of the red tablets.  After a minute all the places we missed with our toothbrush would show up as red splotches in our mouths… that was about the most fun we’ve ever had when brushing our teeth – even the new fun kids flavored toothpaste did nothing for us and the toy at the dentist only got us so far.  

Thank goodness for Toothpaste Pete.  Finally there is something fun about brushing your teeth!  Just place the woof-tastic Toothpaste Pete on the end of any standard toothpaste tube and move his paw to spread the toothpaste on your favorite fun toothbrush.  When you’re finished just place his paw back over his mouth to seal the toothpaste up – nobody likes it when you leave the toothpaste uncapped!

And if you think I’m fun you should check out my favorite kitty and fellow Toothpaste Head, Toothpaste Oscar.  And our Spread Head buds Ketchup Charlie and Mustard Marvin are the perfect condiment compliment!

STUCK! GOLDFISH BATH PLUG - FLIPPER, THE EVERLASTING GOLDFISH

When I was a kid I had a hamster named Liberty (got it on the 4th of July) and my sister killed it by trying to hug it too tightly.  It was sad but she was just a toddler… I think I’ve blamed her long enough for that one so it might be time to let it go.  We had a few other pets but Flipper, our little swimming goldfish, was a trooper.  He outlasted them all.

I remember one time when Flipper was hardly a year old I came home and found him floating belly up in the tank.  I tapped on the glass hoping to wake him up but he just kept floating there.  I thought Flipper was sick but Dad told me he was just resting.  Dad must have been right because when I came home from school the next day Flipper was swimming around like a brand new fish.  He looked like he’d lost some weight too because he was a little smaller from the day before. 

A couple months after that I came home to find Flipper gone.  Mom told me that Dad wanted to show him off at work that day and low and behold when Dad came home from the office, Flipper was happily swimming around in a plastic bag filled with water.  How clever of my dad to think to tote him around in his own little plastic bag carrying case!

When Flipper finally passed away 16 years later we flushed him down the toilet, cleaned out his tank and decided that it wouldn’t be right to replace the goldfish that had lasted far beyond the expected lifespan.  Now, before you think I’m crazy, it took me a while but I finally caught on to my parents “replace the goldfish before she notices” game but I finally clued in.  (DON’T tell my sister though, she still thinks he belongs in the Guinness Book of World Records!)

In tribute to all the Flippers out there, Perpetual Kid® has brought us the Stuck! Goldfish Bath Plug.  Technically we flushed Flipper down the toilet but no one needs a toilet plug… NO ONE!  The Stuck! Goldfish Bath Plug let’s you enjoy that relaxing bath time with just a touch of whimsy and fun, what’s not to love?!

SAVIN UP TO GO TO LAS VEGAS - A PLAYGROUND FOR PERPETUAL KIDS!

We love our beach vacations and our trips to the mountains for some rest and relaxation but when a true Perpetual Kid® is looking for a fun and fast paced vacation… Vegas is the place to be!  As soon as you step off the plane you’re amongst the bells and whistles of the slot machines and the excitement of the other tourists in town for a good time.  You can’t help but get in the spirit!  

Even if you arrive at midnight after a long day at work and a cross country plane ride, once you touch down in Vegas there is no chance you’re going to sleep before dawn breaks.  Trust us.  Between the games, the gambling, the shows, the rides, the attractions and just the overall people watching – there is always SOMETHING to keep you entertained!  We can’t get enough of Vegas!

The only problem we’ve found with Vegas so far is the amount of money it costs to get there, gamble the whole trip, or if you’re not into that – the ticket costs for shows and attractions can get to you too.  If we had the money, we’d go all the time, but like most that’s just not possible right now… so we save.

Now with PerpetualKid.com’s SAVIN UP TO GO TO LAS VEGAS bank it’s easy not to mix up those Las Vegas funds with all the other pennies you’re saving.  Check out our brand new SAVIN UP TO GO TO LAS VEGAS bank – the more money you add, the luckier you’ll feel!

BACON SOAP - BATHE IN BACON!

Every night we go to bed with a whole list of things we need to do in the morning.  Take a shower, let the dog out, get the kids ready for school, make breakfast, hit the gym, grab a coffee from the coffee shop and make it to work 20 minutes before we’re supposed to be there.  When we go to bed it all seems so easy… if we just leave the house 30 minutes before we normally do all of this can get done with no problem.  Ahh, good intentions.

Unfortunately when morning rolls around, you’ve slept through your snooze alarm one too many times, your kids refuse to get dressed, there isn’t any hot water left, the dog has peed on the floor because you forgot to get him outside right away, and you’re out of instant breakfast items in the house.  So instead of the gym you’re running to get the kids to the bus stop on time and instead of cereal or breakfast bar your kids get a plain piece of toast, which they’re refusing to eat.  Instead of that warm delicious latte you’ve been dreaming about, you resign yourself to the cheap coffee at the fast food drive thru and instead of getting to work 20 minutes earlier, you end up arriving 20 minutes late.  But the worst part is this seems to happen every day!

Wouldn’t life be so much easier if you could combine activities?  Exercise in the shower, dress and feed the kids at the same time, take the dog outside and make breakfast at the same time… you’d be a super efficient multitasker if you could do all of these things at once!  Well, we can dream can’t we?

Our Bacon Soap may not be edible (because how cool would it be if you could eat breakfast and take a shower at the same time?!) but it’s certainly going to help get you going in the morning.  You wake up, get in the shower and suddenly that smell of bacon wakes you up and gets you motivated to start your day!  Bacon Soap is perfect for the shower, the bath, the sink, the kitchen… you name it – anywhere is a good place for Bacon Soap!  Let it help you get moving in the morning!

MAKE A DECISION NOTEPAD - JUST MAKE A DECISION ALREADY!

One of the worst questions we get asked around the office by our co-workers is “what do you want to do for lunch?”  Apparently “food” is not a good enough answer.   We’ve also discovered that “I don’t care” isn’t a very popular answer either.  In fact that one might get something thrown at you.  The worst is when we actually make a real decision and then told that our answer is wrong?  WRONG?!  Weren’t you just asking us for our opinion?  How can that be wrong?

Just the other day one of our co-workers asked us if we’d like to go to happy hour.  We thought it was a great idea!  There, decision made.  But wait… there’s more.  The same co-worker then asked us where we’d like to go… this is where things got a little crazy.  After spending 30 minutes (29 minutes more than what should have been spent on this conversation) we picked a place that we all seemed happy with.  We reported back our suggestion… and then it was shot down for a poor lack of outdoor seating.  WHAT?!  No one said that outdoor seating had to be an option… back to the drawing board… for another 30 minutes.

Needless to say we finally decided on a location and happy hour ended up being a lot of fun but the whole experience would’ve been ten times easier if we’d only had the MAKE A DECISION NOTEPAD.  We could’ve easily shared our dilemma, our worst case scenario, best case scenario, our gut feelings and the pros and cons of said decision.  Genius!  The MAKE A DECISION NOTEPAD is the perfect device to make an actual decision and save yourself some time in the process!

THE MICROWAVE IS MY FRIEND DISH TOWEL - A TRIBUTE TO THE MICROWAVE!

We don’t know about you but we do the bulk of our grocery shopping on the weekends to try and prepare for the week ahead.  Then, if we’re feeling particularly motivated, we might even make up a few pre-made dishes just to help us out with time management during the week.  When we follow through with these plans things run smoothly and not only do we eat healthier but we also feel good about ourselves for being so prepared.

But if we’re being honest, more often than not, we find ourselves having to cook every night after work.  And as we all know, the bigger the family, the more effort we have to put into making dinner.  Some weekends we’re so busy (or lazy) that we don’t even get the grocery shopping done.  This is when our microwave becomes our best friend.  Frozen meals, simple concoctions… heck, even oatmeal is a quick and dirty way to feed ourselves and our families without having to slave over the stove.  Seriously, what would we do without our microwaves?

Our new The Microwave is My Friend Dish Towel pays tribute to one of the greatest inventions of the modern day world.  Though we wouldn’t recommend microwaving the towel itself, this dish towel is handy to have in the kitchen.  The Microwave is My Friend Dish Towel lets the world know you love your microwave and you’re not afraid to show it.

PASS THE SALT - FUN AT THE DINNER TABLE!

Sit up straight, don’t put your elbows on the table and NEVER EVER reach for something across the table.  These are the rules our parents and grandparents burned into our brains every single time we’d sit down at the dinner table.  If we reached across the table without asking for something first there was a chance that our hands would get a gentle smack or if nothing else we’d be scolded for our poor manners.  

Things are a little more relaxed in our homes now.  We still know not to put our elbows on the table at formal dinner parties but when it’s just super close friends and family, we’re all about the fun.  After we complain about work and the kids complain about how they did “nothing” at school the fun can begin.  We like to gossip about celebrities, talk about the biggest news stories and most importantly we like to make each other laugh with silly stories and jokes.  Family dinner shouldn’t be a chore, it should be something we look forward to!

PerpetualKid.com is all about having fun at the dinner table.  Our new Pass the Salt is a fun way to avoid getting yelled at for your poor manners and still have an all-out good time around the table.  Next time someone asks you to pass the salt just pull the Pass the Salt shaker towards you then let it go.  You can watch the Pass the Salt zoom its way across the table.  We’re not necessarily saying you should play with your food but this isn’t playing with your food, the Pass the Salt shaker is just a matter of convenience!  We swear!

WE MET ON FACEBOOK GUM - VIRTUAL FRIENDS FOREVER!

Making friends on Facebook seems pretty simple.  At least we don’t have to go about it the hard way like we did back in the old days.  That took a lot of effort.  You’d have to actually meet someone, almost always face to face, then you’d have to try and figure out what to talk about and just pray you had something in common.  You can’t walk away and go “idle” or blame “network issues” for why you’ve stopped having a conversation when you’re face to face.

When sites like Facebook showed up we sighed with relief because we could have 200 friends just with a few clicks of the mouse.  How easy is that?!  Well, actually it’s not.  You’re quick to add the people you hang out with, your friends and family… but what about that kid you were kind-of sort-of friends with in high school?  Or that ex from way back when that you wouldn’t mind catching up with?  Or even the friend of a friend you hung out with at the bar the other night?  Many of us agonize over whether or not we should “friend” them.  And then if we do decide to take that leap we sit on pins and needles until they “accept” our virtual friendship… if they accept it.

Acceptance on Facebook is as big a deal as it is face to face.  But once our virtual friendship is accepted there is much rejoicing to be had!  We think you should consider celebrating with our brand new We Met On Facebook Gum.  Send your virtual friend some actual love with this tangible swag!  With the We Met On Facebook Gum you’ll be VFF’s (Virtual Friends Forever) instantly!

HELLO KITTY "BE GREEN" COIN PURSE - BE GREEN WITH PERPETUALKID.COM!

Everywhere we go these days we’re told to reduce our carbon footprint.  There are so many different ways to help the environment that most everyone is at least trying to do something to be “green”.  Perpetual Kid® tries to be as “green” as we can, including using packing peanuts that dissolve in water! Trust us, we experiment with them all the time (psst – we’re easily amused)!

The idea of going “green” can seem a little scary when you look at lifestyle changes like solar power, buying hybrid cars, or starting a compost pile in your backyard.  But you don’t have to go “big” to go “green”.  You can turn off your electronics when they’re not in use and turn off the air conditioning or heating when you’re not at home.  Try buying energy saving light bulbs and do all your major shopping for the week in one trip.  See, it’s not nearly as hard to go “green” as you thought!  Even the slightest change in your life helps!

Speaking of change, you should check out the new Hello Kitty “Be Green” Coin Purse!  This canvas and faux leather coin purse is not just an adorable accessory but is also a helpful reminder to be good to the environment.  What more could you ask for?  It’s all about change with the Hello Kitty “Be Green” Coin Purse!
