Two Classy Chics

Archive for the ‘Home Decor | Housewares’ Category

Outdoor entertaining is a must in the warmer months and finding the right tableware is not always easy.  Paper is not necessarily environmentally-friendly and can go flying across the yard, park, or beach on windy days.  While red plastic cups can fit the bill, they may not make the best fit for a romantic spread or more elegant affair.   Enter Clearly Acrylic.  From dinnerware to stemware, this site has something for everyone looking for nicer alternatives to paper and plastic.

When you shop at Clearly Acrylic you will find acrylic drinking glasses, stemware, Melamine dinnerware and tableware, serving trays and bowls, ice and wine buckets, beverage pitchers, jewelry holders and organizers, kitchen and tabletop items and more! This store has a lot of great things!

Clearly Acrylic sent me a Grand Polycarbonate Plastic Wine Glass and I put it to the test.   It holds 14 oz. and is pretty and sturdy.  While I lost some water when the dogs knocked it off the side table, it did not crack after hitting the patio.  It and all of their stemware and glassware are unbreakable and dishwasher safe.   Take a look at the product catalog to find the pieces you need.  There is no minimum order and Clearly Acrylic offers free shipping in the continental U.S. on orders over $50.

With summer just around the corner, you need to check out Clearly Acrylic for all of your outdoor party and entertaining needs! You will love their selection and their prices!

Giveaway: One lucky winner is going to win a set of 6 acrylic wine glasses just like the one I got to review. Value of this prize package is $29.94. Perfect for summer!

Are you planning a fun summer party this year? Family gathering or some other kind of evening or nighttime event? If so, you have got to check out all of the fun blinkee accessories that Blinkee.com has to offer!

When you shop at Blinkee.com you will find all kinds of flashy blinkys like flashing margarita glasses, electronic mood rings, blinking refrigerator magnets, LED gloves, body lights, blinkee sunglasses, optic hair lights, lighted barware, fiber optic caps, flashing jewelry and all kinds of other things that have blinky lights or flashing lights in them or on them! This site is HUGE with thousands upon thousands of cool, fun products!

The great folks over at Blinkee.com sent us several things to review for all of you for our big “Fun in the Summer Sun” blog event. First up is the Huge Electronic Mood Ring that my grand-wee-one quickly snatched from me. The mood ring is made of plastic and measures 1 1/4″ in diameter. To get it to light up, you simply press the little button underneath and it goes to town! It will go from red, purple, green, orange, yellow to blue. It is super cool and the wee one just loves it!

We also received the Huge Blink and Glow Pink LED Ring which the wee-one also snatched from me as soon as it arrived. It measures 1 1/4″ in diameter and there is a little button underneath the ring that you press to turn it on. It will flash or you can set it to just glow, your choice! Just like the first ring, wee-one loves it!

The Hula Girl Body Lights is a super cool piece just for me! You can wear this on your body or pin it to your clothing. It has a 2-part magnetic disk so you can attach it to your shirt, jacket, hat or even your purse without puncturing any holes into your garments. You turn the little disk on the back which turns it on and the hula girl has multiple flashing colored lights. I have her on my tote bag. You can also use her as a refrigerator magnet too!

Grand-wee-ones next favorite item that we received is this pair of very cool Heart LED Sunglasses which are perfect for girls and/or boys. They are not made to protect your eyes, these sunglasses are made for fun! They come with the batteries included and you turn them on via a tiny switch near the ear piece. There are 3 settings, quick blinking of lights, a slower blinking of lights and then a steady light. The wee one LOVES wearing these indoors and outdoors in the evening. She thinks she is “HOT STUFF” strutting around in her new blinking sunglasses!

We also got some Glowbys Fiber Optic Hair Lights that are super cool. I think they would be awesome to wear in your hair to go to a music concert, evening sporting event or to go out clubbing! They click in your hair just like a normal barrette would and is super comfy to wear. My adult DD wore one out to a club last weekend and loved it!

Finally, we received the LED Margarita Drinking Glass which is ultra cool! This is great for outdoor summer entertaining in the evening for sure! This drinking glass has a little switch on the bottom of it. You can set it to show only one color continuously or set it to show flashing colors. Lots of different options with that! It is made of a clear acrylic material so you can use it indoors or outdoors by the pool. Way cool! You can see one of these in my top center photo.

All of these products are super fun and perfect for summer! Not only that, they are all affordable! Now is the time to stock up so you are ready for all of your summer parties and events! yeah! I also think these type of things would be PERFECT for little kid’s birthday parties too!

Giveaway: One lucky winner is going to win a set of 4 LED Margarita Drinking Glasses from Blinkee.com! These are totally fun for summer entertaining! Prize Value is $22.00 for the set of 4. You can click on my description above and learn more about this fabulous prize!

Today I would like to introduce you to the company called Exterior-Accents who sells a large variety of garden accents, garden memorials, home accents, fire pits and barbecue accessories, outdoor furniture, gardening supplies, landscaping and structures and products for outdoor entertainment.

As part of our month long Summer Sun & Fun Event the company sent me their Solar Illuminating Plant Caddy to review for all of you. I was really excited to be reviewing this product because last fall when Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee went through our area, I suffered a lot of damage to our backyard and garden areas.

The Solar Illuminating Plant Caddy measures 24″ by 24″ by 7″ high so it can hold a pretty large plant. Since it is solar powered, it charges by day and illuminates at night. I love that it automatically turns itself on when it’s dark, and it turns itself off when it’s daylight. I can simply just forget about it!

The plant caddy features lockable wheel casters so it won’t roll all around. It stays put once you lock the wheels. The 3 LED lamps are adjustable so you can tilt them to any angle that you desire. The heavy duty caddy will hold up to 100 lbs. (or up to 200 lbs. if you use a pot with a sauce to help distribute the weight). I weighed my potted snake plant and mine weighs a hefty 28 1/2 lbs. No tools are required for the assembly and it only took my hubby about 3 minutes to assemble it. Really quick and easy…anyone can do it!

We have been using this beautiful Solar Illuminating Plant Caddy for over a month now and let me tell you, all of my neighbors are jealous! Every night when the sun goes down, it lights up and it stays lit for hours at a time! I have clocked it as being lit for up to 7 hours already! The LED lights are bright, but not overly bright, I would say a nice illuminating glow.

I am going to get a nicer plant for my caddy once my local home and garden store gets some nice tropical plants in-stock. I love this plant caddy as I can wheel it all around my patio deck to get sunlight or for when I want to water it. This is a fantastic product and I highly recommend it to you!

Please head on over to the Exterior-Accents store and check out all of their beautiful and affordable home & garden products! We give this product 10 stars out of 10 stars on our rating scale! Thank you Exterior-Accents for participating in this product review here on the Two Classy Chics Blog.

You can sign up for their monthly e-newsletter to be kept up-to-date on product news, sales specials and to enter their monthly giveaway! Yeah!!!

The company is also holding a $1,500 Mother’s Day Giveaway Contest that closes on May 7th, 2012. You can check it out on their Facebook page for more information.

Living in California, we spend a lot of time outdoors. I have a very nice yard with a lovely pool and big BBQ and during the week, I snag my son’s laptop and even take my work outside when I can. It is so peaceful and relaxing. I love my furniture set too. It is made for lounging. The best part about hanging out outside is being relaxed and comfy and some great outdoor pillows really help with that! I have an awesome company to tell you about that has a gigantic selection of Sunbrella fabric for outdoor pillows.

Cushion Source is an online retailer that has amazing fabric selections. I do not know how many times I caught my breath and said “Oh I love that one” .. LOL Sunbrella fabrics are made from 100 percent solution-dyed acrylic yarns that are treated to be water repellant and mildew resistant. Sunbrella fabrics do not absorb water and are made to last outdoors for years at a time.

Cushion Source creates custom indoor and outdoor seat cushions for a multitude of different chairs, benches, swings and window seats. This place is amazing. Not only do they provide a fabulous selection of Sunbrella Fabrics, they also have beautiful cottons, linens, leathers, and so much more. Cushion Source also carries gorgeous Umbrellas, Curtains and Pillows of all sizes. You can seriously get lost in here and redo your whole house! I am in love!

I was send 2 fabulous pillows for my outdoor seating area to enjoy and review for you today. The set I got is a Sunbrella Natural fabric with Canvas Bay Brown cording. The color is a gorgeous neutral and works perfectly with my set outside as well as inside. They are a great size for tucking behind your back or curling up with for an afternoon snooze. The finishing is excellent and with the Sunbrella Fabric, I don’t have to worry about them getting dirty, a mild soap will wash the fabric right off.

These are great pillows and I cannot wait to use them when it cools off later in the week so I can spend some time outdoors. You have to swing by and check out these awesome products that this shop carries. You will get so many fantastic ideas! OH and guess what……

One winner is going to win a pair of Pillows in Sunbrella fabric- Violetta Baltic (front) and Dupione Paradise (back and cording). ARV $130 Gorgeous! Here is how to enter!
