Finding affordable and unique gift ideas can be a challenge. One of our favorite ways to give gifts that are both useful and beautiful is the art of giving. Here is a list of some very useful and unique pieces for your home that are under $50.

Large Glass Terrarium House

This charming, modern terrarium is made from thick glass and comes complete with a swing-top lid that lets you open and close it with ease. It’s a perfect home for plants, herbs, or mosses, but it could also be used to store anything else you can imagine. The size is ideal for placing on your desk at the office or even in the kitchen to hold spoons and utensils. At under $50, this whimsical terrarium is a great gift idea!

What makes it unique? The swing-top lid is a fun alternative to the usual container lid. Plus, its square shape and black accents are very modern and appealing.

Spring-Cleaning and Organization Items You Need Now

Posted on by tracydee

Alright, it’s time to talk about organization items you need now. Is it just me or is winter dragging on and on? I know it’s only the middle of March, but I’m already looking forward to the promises of spring. The sun is starting to peek out a bit longer and the days are getting warmer. For reference, I currently live in Norway, although I’m no stranger to cold weather being from Pennsylvania.

This time of year also has me thinking about spring cleaning and setting a clean slate for the upcoming sunny and warm months. Last year I focused on organizing my bathroom and closet.

Here I will provide you with 10 suggestions for spring cleaning and organizing all parts of your life.


Home – Organization Items You Need

  1. Microfiber cleaning cloths – great for an envrionmentally friendly option to reuse

2. Scrub brush set – Have every size and type of brush you need to get your home sparkling clean!

3. Vacuum cleaner – According to Good Housekeeping, this is the best upright vacuum clearner for 2022. But you can check out their article for other recommendations.


Car – Organization Items You Need

4. Cleaning putty – This nifty putty gets in all those small crevices to clean your car

5. Handheld vacuum – This is awesome for when you’re on the go and don’t have time to stop at a car wash.

6. Car trunk organizer – Start the spring and summer off right by organizing all those loose items in your car!


Office – Organization Items You Need

7. Plastic storage bins – Keep these around to organize your cleaning and office supplies

8. Compressed air duster – Keep the keyboard clear of crumbs and debris

9. Lysol wipes – Use these to wipe down tables and items that frequently get used

10. 5 Drawer storage – A great all-purpose storage unit that can be moved to wherever you need it

Amazing Amazon Deals Going on Right Now!

Posted on by tracydee

I think one of my next posts is going to be about how you can become an Amazon affiliate. I have mixed feelings about it because I definitely don’t want to be contributing to making Jeff Bezos richer. However, if you’re looking for some extra cash to save or get out of debt, then signing up gets you a piece of the money pie. Because let’s face it, Amazon isn’t going anywhere and people are going to buy from it anyway. So that’s my way of saying that these are all affiliate links – meaning if you choose to click on them and order something, it’s possible I can earn a small commission on eligible items. And I encourage you to find ways to do the same!

Even if you don’t purchase an item on the link and you stay and order on Amazon, I can earn a small amount from that as well. And if you are interested in learning more about it, drop a comment below and I’ll write a post on how to join!

Some deals to check out here!

Up to 44% off Instant Pot cooking appliances Up to 60% off Razer Gaming Inputs Up to 30% on Graco Baby Products Up to 44% off Shark Vacuums and Air Purifiers 25% Off Nespresso Vertuo Espresso Machines Save 65.0% on select products from HR with promo code 652R2HEA, through 11/26 while supplies last.

10 Amazon Must Haves for Travel, Technology, and Luggage

Posted on by tracydee

Must haves for travel: Well, I just finished my 35 hour trip from the US to Norway where I will be living until Summer of 2022. There were some bumps along the way. One bump was my luggage sent to my layover in Portugal instead of my final destination. After 2 hours of working with the gate agents, I ended up just paying again to have it sent all the way to Oslo. I will worry about contacting United later.

I wanted to share some of the travel items I used along the way. Also, some items I wish I purchased to make things a bit easier.

  1. Collapsible water bottle – This was great because I hooked it to my backpack or my purse when I wasn’t using it. I filled it up in the airport and also at the hotel on my way back to the airport for the 3rd flight.

2. Travel backpack that opens like a carry-on – Now, this was handy because I had two checked bags that I needed my hands for. However, I did fill my backpack a little too heavy and my shoulders and back were hurting pretty bad by the time I reached my final destination. This particular model had 3 mesh bags that I used for dirty laundry when I changed between flights.

3. Plug travel adapter – This was a last minute purchase thanks to my grandpa doing some research online. I knew at one point that I needed this, but it slipped my mind to order it in advance. I’m glad I had it with me and didn’t have to purchase anything at the airport.

4. Liquid travel bottles – I got the ones with labels so I would remember the difference between my face cleanser and my shampoo. This was great for the hotel between Portugal and Norway. I had no issues getting through security in any of the three airports.

5. Neck pillow and travel kit – Now, I brought just the basic plain neck pillow. I wish I had purchased this one that had eye covers and a machine washable outer part.

Must Haves for Travel: Technology Needs

6. Airpods travel case – I am always losing my Airpods case in my purse, so I wanted to get something easier for me to find. This carrying case also held my back-up headphones in case my Airpods needed to be charged.

7. iPad pro case with stand – I used this in the plane with my Kindle Unlimited to read books during my flight.

Must Haves for Travel: Items I Wish I Purchased

8. Travel makeup and jewelry organizer – I used small bags I had and split everything up. However, I am going to purchase an organizer that keeps it all together.

9. Packing cubes – I prefer these packing cubes over the compression bags. I had to be careful not to go over 50 pounds on my luggage. It’s easy to do that with compression bags because you can fit more items in your suitcase.

10. Rolling under seat bag – This is going to be my next purchase. The backpack is great, but I need to put the heavier items in something that rolls. Most places allow you a carry-on and a personal item, so I can bring both.
