With a new addition to the family, our indoor living space started to feel a little cramped so we decided to take it outside. We wanted an area where we could have our little one play and us relax as well as entertain family friends, all while feeling comfortable like we were inside our home. The Madaga Gazebo is one of the best buys we’ve made in quite awhile and it has transformed our patio. For just a few hundred dollars it shades a large space (10 feet by 10 feet) and looks super expensive. I almost feel like we’re in a cabana at a fancy shmancy hotel instead of our backyard. The Madaga Gazebo is really sturdy and made of rust-resistant steel. The top has two tiers for ventilation and comes with mosquito netting to protect from the little buggers. For $20 extra bucks, Target carries white lights for gazebos for the extra touch and it looks so pretty at night. If you have some extra moolah to spend on your outdoor living space, take a look at the Madaga Deep Seating Set. The price is really reasonable for a conversation set and there is free shipping right now. Besides being multi-functional for the family, the Madaga Gazebo is great to look at and adds value to the home. Your guests will love it for the upcoming summer barbeques and you’ll be happy chilling out under it on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

When we went to register for our wedding gifts, my husband used the scanning gun to add the Cuisinart Immersion Blender to the list and I had no idea what you were supposed to do with it. Fast forward a few years later and it is one of my favorite things in our kitchen. The handheld blender can blend and chop anything using the continuous or pulse control and there is so much stuff you can cook up with it! Lobster bisque and tomato basil soup are the first things I made using it and then I ventured on to milkshakes, frappes, and smoothies. I’ve also done hummus, salsa, and pesto and when our little one is older, I’ll be making his baby food using my Cuisinart Immersion Blender. If you google “immersion blender recipes” you’ll get tons of good ideas. The Cuisinart SmartStick Immersion Blender is super easy to clean and has a removable dishwasher-safe shaft. It comes in four cool colors, Parsley, Pomegranate, Buttercup, and Crush. Besides it being one of our most used tools in the kitchen, it’s also the best deal since it’s only $29.95. The yummy possibilities are endless with the Cuisinart SmartStick Immersion Blender.

Simple and Posh always loves a fun idea and when we heard about the Bark4Beer on our local news station, we thought the concept was clever and wanted to share. Bark4Beer was created by two friends who were at a pool party and needed a bottle opener for beers and without one nearby, they used their dog’s collar to pop the tops off. This spawned the idea for Bark4Beer which is a dog collar with a bottle opener attached. Just call Fido over and grab the retractable opener to open your cold one. And no worries, it’s perfectly safe for Fido so it’s a win-win for man and his best friend. The collar comes in two sizes and you can also get a matching leash. The Bark4Beer collar makes a great gift for housewarmings and birthdays and your original gift idea for your puppy and beer loving friend will be much appreciated. Bark4Beer was awesome enough to give us one to give away to one of Simple and Posh’s followers. To enter the giveaway, just go to our Facebook page and click on the “Like” button on the Bark4Beer posting. For those of you non-FB’ers, email us at info@simpleandposh.com and type Bark4Beer in the subject line. The giveaway ends Monday, March 1st at 11:59 PM PST.

Not sure if you heard but the FDA released a report earlier this week that they have revised their position on the safety of BPA. Previously thought to be safe, the FDA now has declared BPA is a danger to fetuses, babies, and young children. Many people think BPA is only released when a container is heated but this isn’t the case. So families, it’s time to replace all of your food containers with BPA-free ones. The Go Green Premium Nano Silver storage containers are of premium quality and will protect your loved ones from nasty cancer-causing chemicals. These containers are made with silver particles embedded into the plastic so mold and bacteria can’t grow. They are FDA approved so you can put your mind at ease when feeding your family. This set of Go Green Premium Nano Silver includes 7 containers in five different sizes. Start getting rid of the toxic goods in your kitchen and replace them with the Go Green Premium Nano Silver set.

Every January something happens and the cleaning bug hits us at home and we’re purging the old to make room for the new. The last few days have been spent organizing and sorting and as a result there is a lot of trash. Right now would be the perfect time to have the Stainless Steel Compactor Can from The Container Store. Besides being a good looking trash can, it decreases the amount of space your waste takes up. As you start to fill the 10.5 gallon can up, depress the handle and the trash will be compacted and the bag inside will double in volume. Definitely eco-friendly since it cuts down on the amount of trash bags and it makes for less trips to the dumpster for you. The Stainless Steel Compactor Can is on sale right now for $139, $30 off of the original price.

We can’t decide if we love the SonicScrubber because it makes housework so much easier or because it makes it a little more fun. Probably both! This was a stocking stuffer from my mom for Christmas and it is a must-have for the home. The SonicScrubber is perfect for getting grout sparkling clean with hardly any effort and it works really well on the stovetop for the yuckiness that spills over onto the burners. We have tile on our kitchen countertops and cleaning it is one of the most dreaded tasks but the SonicScrubber makes this chore completely bearable and even fun in some weird way! The makers of SonicScrubber claim it cuts down on cleaning time by 50% to 75% and I totally agree. Get a SonicScrubber for the bathroom and another one for the kitchen. Heck, get one for every room in the house!
