If you’re just starting to get the idea that you would like to get a greenhouse, might I suggest that you start with the Gardman Four Tier Mini Greenhouse? It’s great because you can see if you like having a greenhouse in your garden, but it really doesn’t take up that much space at all, pretty much any size garden can accommodate this multi-tier mini greenhouse. You can put the Gardman Four Tier Mini Greenhouse on a deck, patio, or balcony. It has a sturdy, tubular steel frame and a removable, clear plastic cover with full length roll up zippered access. Inside, there are shelves for pots and seed trays. You can propagate your seeds while adding a little decoration to your garden with this  multi-tier mini greenhouse.

 

If you have moved past the mini greenhouse stage and are ready for something a little bigger, the Walk-In 4X6 Greenhouse with shelving might be right up your alley. This greenhouse offers plenty of space for pots and gardening tools and comes with multiple open shelves.Design-wise it has a heavy-duty reinforced cover and a roll-up door. Pegs and guy ropes are included for additional stability. No tools are required for assembly of this unique structure. In addition to that, Gardman even offers a 1 year warranty on this greenhouse!

Keeping Things Cool With Keystone

How’s the weather where you are? I’m here to tell you, things are heating up here in Boston!

If you have ever lived in New England you might be familiar with the fact that central A/C can be scarce around here! Unless you live in a newer building you probably have to make due with fans, window A/Cs, and cold showers. Up until very recently I was one of those people. However, those solutions really weren’t working very well for me. No matter how many BTUs I would buy on my window A/Cs they never seemed good enough to cool more than a bed-room sized room. However, one day I found the answer to my cool air prayers.

 

Enter the  Keystone KSTAP12A 12,000 BTU portable air conditioner. This awesome air conditioner features 3 fan speeds and a fan-only mode for custom comfort. It’s also super easy to install – it comes with a flexible plastic extendable vent tube and a kit to install it into basically any window, be it vertical or horizontal. And forget just cooling a small bedroom, this thing will cool a room up to 600 square feet! I actually had mine in my living room and kitchen area in my old house and it cooled both, even when I was cooking. Some other great features of the  Keystone KSTAP12A:

  • Castor wheels easily roll unit from room to room
  • Adjustable air flow direction allows you to easily control the direction of the cool air
  • Turbo mode for your convenience
  • Electronic controls with LED display make choosing settings easy
  • Built-in timer gives you control over when and for how long cooling runs
  • Auto Restart saves your settings for when power is restored to the unit
  • Full-function “Follow Me” remote control
  • No bucket design means you don’t have to worry about emptying water

This is the best air conditioner that I have ever owned, by far. I really like how easy it is to set up, and also how simple it is to transfer from room to room if you would like to have some extra cooling power.

Another great product that Keystone makes is the KSTAD50B 50 Pt. Dehumidifier. This is one powerful dehumidifier, it’s able to remove up to 50 pints of moisture from the air per day in a room up to 3000 square feet. That’s basically an entire basement plus some! Do you already have a dehumidifier but you’re worried it’s going to overflow at some point? Well, you don’t have to worry with the Keystone. There are two options available for you –

1- Full bucket alert with automatic shut-off

or

2- Continuous draining option available with a standard garden hose (hose not included)

When you use either of these options you can stop worrying about the overflow. It’s so nice to be able to relax in the cool air this summer thanks to Keystone!

If you’re in need of a great quality air conditioner or dehumidifier for this upcoming summer heat and humidity, head on over to DealDash! They have both of these products available on their site for your bidding entertainment. Remember, if you have bid up to the Buy It Now (BIN) price and people are still bidding, there’s no need to worry – just BIN the item at the retail price listed and you will immediately get all of your bids back. It’s really a Win-Win situation. Good luck and happy bidding everyone.

 

 

Apples to Apples

I don’t know about you, but every single person I know over the age of about 5 has an Apple product of some sort. They are SO popular. Let me tell you why.

Apple has been around longer than I have been alive – they were founded on (no fooling!)  April 1, 1976, which is 39 years ago! When thinking of founding members, most people just think of Steve & Steve (Jobs and Wozniak), but there was actually a third founding member named Ronald Wayne. Their first product was called the Apple 1,  which went on sale in July of 1976 and was market-priced at $666.66 ($2,763 in 2015 dollars, adjusted for inflation). Since then, of course, Apple has released countless products. I’ll give you a quick run-down on some of the most popular ones that are currently available. 

 

iPhone. The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus are the newest phones that Apple has released. The 6 Plus has a huge 5.5-inch (diagonal) Retina HD display screen that is 1920-by-1080 resolution. Some other great features are an 8MP iSight camera with Focus Pixels, True Tone flash, and optical image stabilization, an A8 chip with M8 motion co-processor, and the Touch ID fingerprint sensor – which I have on my phone, and it’s amazing! I absolutely love being able to just swipe my finger and my phone unlocks without me having to type in a password. And when my kids are bigger, well, no one is going to be able to guess Mom’s password!

 

iPad. There are a few different iPads that are currently out, but I will go with my favorite- the iPad Mini 3 64GB with WiFi. I recently got this iPad for my 7 year old son and he loves it. It has so many cool features like the Touch ID fingerprint sensor (so his little sister can’t use it!), a 7.9-inch Retina display, a powerful A7 chip with 64-bit architecture, an iSight camera, a FaceTime HD camera, and so many game apps on the Apple App store, a lot of them for free or less than $3. These iPad Minis are so cute and so portable. My regular iPad doesn’t fit easily into my purse, so when I think I will need an iPad on the go – I go with the iPad Mini. 

 

iPod. As with the iPad there are many different types of iPod, so I will go with the one that I am the most familiar with, the 32GB iPod Touch . I think that one of the coolest feature on this iPod is the  5 MP iSight camera. It lets you shoot photos and high-definition videos on the go. No need to bring your clunky camera or camcorder, the iPod 32GB has you covered. Some other nice features include the iTunes radio with streaming music, a 4″ retina display, and Airdrop Control Center. This iPod holds so much music I don’t know if I will ever end up filling mine all the way up. It’s also great for storing and reading all of your Ebooks and reading them with the iBooks or Kindle App from the Apple App store.

 

DealDash has all of these awesome Apple products up for auction regularly. Additionally, DealDash also has countless accessories like cases, chargers, and more! Head on over there and check out all of the great Apple products that DealDash has on offer today!

 

Makia Clothing has Invaded DealDash!

Makia Clothing has Invaded DealDash! And we LOVE it!

Have you seen all of the new Makia Clothing products that have been showing up on DealDash lately? There are a HUGE number of awesome Makia Clothing gear available, let me show you – starting with hats, we have the Makia Cap in Asphalt gray, Navy blue, and my personal favorite, the Makia Rooibos Tea Calypso Cap, which is a burnt sienna type of color.

 

 

Other than hats there are also backpacks and bags available – my favorite is the Sailor Bag in black and pink, but there is also a Duffle Bag and a backpack, both available in denim.

 

 

Makia is a clothing company that was founded in 2001 and based out of Helsinki, Finland. They offer a great variety of clothing, including both men’s and women’s styles, as well as gender-neutral items such as the hats and bags above, but they also offer scarves and wallets which we will hopefully be seeing on DealDash  soon!

Makia Clothing loves sports, they were actually a sponsor of the first ever Winter Olympic Team Zimbabwe last year! Makia provided the outfits for team Zimbabwe. In addition to winter sports, they also love racing! As a Southern girl transplanted up North I appreciate racing as much as the next girl! The Makia Racing Team was founded in 2012, and their star driver is Kimi Raikkonen, who drives for team Ferrari. They have come out with a line of racing gear such as hats, hoodies, and tee shirts. If we’re lucky maybe DealDash will start having Makia Racing gear available as well!

In addition to sports the folks at Makia Clothing love beer! Makia’s newest collection is actually inspired by it! They love beer so much that they decided to dedicate their whole spring-summer 2015 collection around it. They went on a multi-country expedition to get to know their muse a little better, and I have to say it was a success!

I hope you have enjoyed getting to know Makia Clothing a little better. Go get out there and try to win some, you will be glad you did! Good luck everyone!

Tonfisk Design Elevates Style for the Kitchen

Tonfisk Design is an awesome company from Finland that really knows their way around the kitchen…With style!

Translated from Swedish, Tonfisk actually means “tuna fish”, which might sound a little strange, but when you see their products you will forget their quirky name and enjoy the clean elegant style that the Finnish are known for. You might wonder who makes all of these interesting products – the main designer is Brian Keaney, however the company has taken products into production from several different Finnish designers.

Tonfisk

Tonfisk Design has a lot of interesting and different things to explore, one of my favorites is actually an extendable flower vase – perfect for when someone brings you flowers that are just too short or tall for any vases you have. It’s made of two parts, the lower part is made of porcelain and the upper part is made of laminated oak or walnut. The upper part can be raised or lowered to fit your flower’s height and still look great. This flower vase from Tonfisk Designs is called KasVu, in case you would like to do a little more research on it.

Another Tonfisk Designs favorite of mine is the “WARM” collection. WARM is a tea and coffee set that combines ceramic teacups and teapots with bracelets of laminated bent wood. Held on by friction, the wood acts as a handle and also insulates your tea or coffee. Since its launch in 1998 WARM tea and coffee set has become a ‘mini classic’ of Finnish and Scandinavian design.

Tonfisk WARM

If you’re like me you want to be sure that it’s easy to clean all of your kitchen items. You might ask yourself, “Can I use a dishwasher with these products?” The answer is YES! You can wash these products in the dish washer. All of the Tonfisk Design products are tested and certified for safety and have a food safe and durable glaze. You can also clean the wooden parts with a wet cloth. However, afterwards you should dry the parts at room temperature with good air circulation. The wooden parts are waterproof in normal use, however you should definitely avoid leaving the wooden parts in water and getting soaked, though. If this should happen, remove the handles from the water and leave them to dry on a table for a day or so. The handles should return to their original shape.

If you like  the products from Tonfisk Design that I have shown you, there are many more to explore, and DealDash will be offering them soon. The best part about winning these items from DealDash is that instead of ordering them directly from Finland, DealDash ships it to us for free! Saving on shipping alone makes me loyal to DealDash. It’s so fun to be able to try products that aren’t as easily available in America. Good luck everyone, and Happy Bidding!
