Available in various unique Outlaw scents, these handmade soaps are amazing. All of these soaps are vegan unless explicitly noted on the description. The recipe is coconut oil, avocado oil, castor oil, olive oil, water,  lye, fragrance oils, and coloring (and glitter, mica, or rubber chickens as appropriate).

Holiday Shopping | Add some SEXY to your gifts with 3Wishes.com

3Wishes.com started online in 1998 with a vision of providing the best quality Lingerie, Sexy Halloween Costumes, Fashionable Apparel, and much more to dreamers, partiers, and celebrities across the globe. Female-owned and operated 3Wishes.com began at home and grew to become one of the largest online retailers of women’s intimates. Recently under new ownership and in the midst of a major rebrand and aesthetic update, one goal remains the same as the day it was founded: 3Wishes.com wants to make everyone’s wishes and fantasies come true. Whether it be an enchanted evening of romance or a mischievously fanciful night out on the town, 3Wishes.com provides products that amplify the sexy in us all.

We spoke with Sarah Chamberlain, Co-Founder & CMO of 3Wishes.com:

Q - How did you start this journey and created your brand?

3Wishes.com began operation in 1998 as the first online retailer of women's lingerie and costumes. In mid-2020, lingerie e-tailer veteran, Chad Horstman, teamed up with former colleagues, Charles Clemens (COO) and Sarah Chamberlain (CMO), as well as e-commerce expert, Jason Squardo (CEO), to rejuvenate the iconic 3Wishes brand. With more than 60 years of experience between us, we are joining forces to overhaul this classic brand. 

Q - How did you decide to enter the men's stuff and how has the response been?

While women's lingerie, costumes, and clothing are our primary product offerings, we've found over the years that men's costumes, specifically, are a logical addition to our assortment. Halloween is a big business and oftentimes women like their partners to dress up in a matching ensemble for the occasion. We even like to tease that men are the perfect accessory for women on Halloween. 

Q - What are your most exciting products?

We have hundreds of items over a variety of categories so picking the most exciting products is really a matter of preference. We offer everything from glamourous bedroom gowns and robes to practical bra and panty sets to eye-catching clubwear and festival wear to costumes fit for every occasion. We like to think we're a one-stop-shop for specialty apparel.

Q - How has 2020 been?

Since we acquired 3Wishes we've seen exponential growth. Perhaps it's because people are spending more time at home and want to keep things spicy with their partners or they want to update their loungewear wardrobe, but we've seen consistent and increasing sales, to our delight. In addition, Halloween was exceptionally good for 3Wishes, seeing a 150% growth from 2019. We anticipate it only going up from here.

Q - What's coming up in the future for the brand and you?

We're excited to launch our exclusive collection of lingerie and costumes in 2021 and we hope to expand that to our other categories by 2022.

———

Here are some really cool items (with links to buy them) from 3wishes.com that I have personally check out and love them. Specially the men’s Halloween costume, which will be my go-to next year. The Santa T-shirt is comfy and cool, a perfect gift for that special lady or friend too. And who doesn’t want a cowgirl hat? And a light-up mask!

We talked with Alex Nguyen, the co-founder of MadeTerra. Here are the excerpts:

  • How did you start this journey and created your brand?

We start making handmade products more than 10 years ago, and we distributed our products to wholesalers, and got a fraction of the selling price. One day we saw that Internet created a chance for us to open a direct-market channel, where we can sell our made in Vietnam products directly to the people in US and Europe. That's why we created Made Terra brand - brand that carry our value: direct-to-market, earth friendly, handmade.

  • What makes your products unique and how do you maintain high quality at such affordable prices?

Handmade home accessories made of Vietnam-grown materials and made by our Vietnamese traditional craftsmanship skills. Vietnam is the homeland of earth friendly materials like seagrass, bamboo... and our people have a rich tradition and history in handcrafting home accessories using such home-grown materials.
We can maintain affordable prices because we bring the products to you directly.

  • What are your most exciting products?

So many. Imagine that the serving trays and charger plates with mother of pearl inlay shining on your dining table. Or how set of seagrass baskets beautifully woven can bring a rustic beauty to your home. Please access https://www.madeterra.com/ to enjoy our product beauty.

  • How has 2020 been?

Well, not as our expectation as the Covid-19 pandemic spread out the whole world and caused a lot of logistic problems. However we can be proud of what we have done - that is overcoming these challenges to bring our products to you in US and Europe

  • What's coming up in the future for the brand and you?

We will bring more direct-to-market products from Vietnam. We have just introduced only a small fraction of what our country and people have made. We hope to build the brand that you can love and trust.

Holiday Shopping | Add some designer OOMPH to your Holiday Gifts with REMO TULLIANI

The Remo Tulliani philosophy is to take something familiar and make it new to make it better. Better means materials that are superior for their feel and performance. Better means designed for style, not just to be trendy. Better means priced lower than the pricey luxury brands while beating them on quality.

The designer himself takes an architectural approach to creating men’s, women’s, and unisex accessories where every detail matters. Learning from his personal relationships with material manufacturers around the world; the balance, the design, the feel and fit of the product all mean something to Remo. This lets him create accessories that stand up to any challenge in terms of style, craft and even sustainability.

Here are few words from the man himself, Remo Tulliani, Founder & Aesthetic Directory of Remo Tulliani:

Q - How did you start this journey and created your brand?

This is a genuine moment of where Necessity is the Mother of Invention. I am a Finance and Marketing major. With an inherent creative side. Coming out of college, I was not the “Finance” type for most companies. So taking my interest of development, and I ran with it. 30 years running, we have done pretty good seeing some great moments. A bit of a Forrest Gump thing. 

Q - How do your products stand out in the sea of branded products and online heavy market?

The sea of fine products are out there.  So much of it hits the pulse of Trend so well. Then the next brand does such a great job on hitting the moment and what is hot and needed. Everyone in our building believes our success has been that our product is timeless. A well-made product with ingredients that are noticeable and can be treasured as a gift for a long time. Those who know our brand value this about our products.

Q -What are your most exciting products?

The evolution of our product is always the most exciting. Each category for us, is special in its own way.  

- Our socks get the most praise by customers. Probably because they actually are better than the others. We are the Champion of socks.

- The eyewear is so exciting due to the technology we continue to move forward with. The lenses are so special.

- Belts are True and Pure. We have a saying here, “We ship the Truth”. Our leathers are the best on the planet. Tough to get credit for such a claim, however, we are excited to say it.

Q - How has 2020 been?

We do count on our great stores and partners as getting our message out, and with 2020 this of course has changed in scale as it has for everyone. However, those who love our product have been loyal to what we design and produce. We committed to fresh styles for this holiday and we delivered. So as challenging as it has been as everyday has been the same, our team has stayed committed to moving the product forward.

Q - What's coming up in the future for the brand and you?

We have dedicated ourselves to the technology of our product, and have just introduced the ULTIMATE BOOT SOCK for women this month. All of our technology in our yarn, and our features to help with the natural fit of a boot.  Low abrasion, impact and high comfort. Our ladies line is complete with the perfect belts to be worn with denim and our sport-elegant eyewear, and the newest member of the family The ULTIMATE BOOT SOCK.

———

You have to experience the products yourself to truly experience the awesomeness of these. The quality is amazing and the packaging is beautiful as well. Especially the socks, they feel soft and comfortable like nothing else you may have ever put on your feet. Thankfully, there’s a wide price range of Remo Tulliani products to choose from for yourself, or as gifts. This Holiday Season is a great time to buy and own some of these awesome sunglasses, belts and socks. Who doesn’t needs those?

Here are some pics of some of the cool products I have got myself, along with the links to purchase those.

Thanks to technology and times we live in, big screen TVs are not that expensive if you are looking at 55-65 inch range. But going any higher can easily push you in four figures. So is there a cheaper way to watch it big and not break your bank account?

Yes. Thanks again to technological advancements, home projectors are not a pure luxury items for the rich. There are some cheap but decent projectors available now. Apeman LC350 is one of those products. And when I say cheap, I mean really cheap. You can snag one for $60-70 on Amazon. That’s worth a shot, isn’t it?

The good thing about this projector is, it’s better than what you pay for it. This is what you get:

  • BRIGHT COLOR PROJECTOR: Bright 4500 lumens, 2000:1 contrast ratio, 70% brighter than other projectors. This mini projector adopts the latest 4.0 LCD display technology with advanced LED light sources. Also a perfect GIFT for all ages!

  • AMAZING MOVIE EXPERIENCE: Support 1080P Full HD with 800*480P native resolution. Max 180 inches display size with an aspect ratio of 16:9/4:3. The projection distance between 5-8 ft is recommended. Really a family movie projector!

  • INCREDIBLE MUTE FAN WITH DUAL SPEAKERS: Updated version efficient cooling system cut 50% of the fan noise!!! Equipped with advanced built-in dual speakers system which offers excellent loud sound quality without connecting external speaker.

  • MULTIPLE INPUTS: APEMAN LC350 projector is easy to operate with HDMI, VGA, USB, Micro SD, RCA AV interfaces. Support a wide connection with common devices such as PC, Laptop, game console, and smartphones. Compatible with TV Stick and Chromecast. Does not support Dolby digital sounds.

Remember that APEMAN LC350 Projector is mainly used for home cinema and video games, NOT recommended for Powerpoint, Word, Excel or business presentation. For all home projectors, the screen edge is not as clear as the center. It will perform the best effect if the projector is under relatively dark room environment. Best to use with a good quality projector screen.

But for 60 bucks I am not expecting a lot. Apeman does have other higher quality projectors at a higher price point, which may be worth checking out, if you want to spend the money. But this definitely gives you your money’s worth.

We shall try some other projectors soon and keep you updated. Keep an eye here for other cool products for your Holiday Shopping this year.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
