What’s better than a Wine of the Month Club? This!

scortright — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 17:18:45 +0000

For some time, we’ve recommended Gourmet Gift of the Month Clubs, which allows you to send great monthly gift packages. You can choose from either Chocolate of the Month, Cheese of the Month, Wine of the Month, Flower of the Month, Cigar of the Month, or Beer of the Month. Since we LOVE clutter-free gifts, we love the products offered by this company. Why not give somebody something they will enjoy (and actually consume) as the year goes on.

Now, Gourmet Monthly Clubs has launched a Whatever Whenever Program, which allows you to mix-and-match all 6 of these clubs (chocolate, cheese, wine, flowers, cigar, beer) in any way you want! So it allows a truly custom gift membership: combine wine and cheese each month, or alternate between chocolate and flowers, or send beer one month, cigars the next, and then wine.

With the holidays approaching, Gourmet Monthly Clubs has something for everyone. And with the flexibility of the Whatever-Whenever Program, never has it been easier to give a fun and clever gift to those hard-to-buy-for people on your list. Plus, the ongoing Gourmet Monthly Clubs coupon code (below) applies to the whatever-whenever program!

Good for $10 off any 12 month prepaid order for any of our six gourmet products
Choose from Chocolate of the Month, Cheese of the Month, Wine of the Month, Flower of the Month, Cigar of the Month, and Beer of the Month (and, now, the Whatever-Whenever program)

Make Your Own Free Handwriting Fonts

scortright — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 16:31:04 +0000

As I was trying to get focused this morning, I found a link to this little gem on Matt Cutts’ blog. It’s called the Free Font Generator

This site allows you to easily make your own fonts for free. All you have to do is print a template, then scan the template back into your computer. Once you upload it to the yourfonts website, save it and install the file, you can use your font on your computer! You can make fonts of your own handwriting, which is really cool in itself, or get creative and make some jazzier fonts. This could be a really fun project to do with the kids, too!
