Gifts for the Grad



Grads today are still full of youth. They still love the challenge of a good game. Why not get them a gift they can take to college with them? A cowboy indian Tic Tac Toe is the greatest gift. Each time they play it, they will think of you.

Getting Ready for the Summer

Summer is rapidly approaching. There is no better time to spritz up the patio while the weather is not yet too hot.

  • By taking time to wash those finger printed ridden sliding glass doors, now you will not be sweating up a storm.
  • Take time to vacuum under your large sofas and your chairs around tables and end tables.
  • Take the hose from your vacuum and get along the upper edge of where your ceiling and walls meet.

Summer months can be very dry in some areas and with some winds it can kick up dust and dirt, but by taking time to clean now, at the end of summer it will be a cinch.

By starting now on your cleaning you will not wear yourself down with the heat.

Gifts for GRADS going off to College



Some parents find it hard to find the right gift to send their kids off to college. By choosing a blanket they can cuddle in, is a smart choice. While many of the dorms do not have proper bedding supplies, its great to give a gift that they can use. Yes blankets are not too personal, but they can add it to their college supplies and check one more item off their college supplies list.

Mothers Day is Almost Here

Its almost Mothers day. Have you Done your Shopping???

At times in our busy schedules we all find it hard to get to do the things we need to. From running kids to soccer and working, lets face our lives are running in a very fast lane.

When we come home at night there is little time to decorate or do much anything else. By dropping hints to family you can get some of your decorative items. Take time to go online with kids or hubby and point out what you want. Show them you want to redecorate something and point out items you want.

From Lilyputts Home Decor...we wish you moms a Wonderful Mothers Day
