Picplum: The Perfect Gift For The Holidays {A Giveaway}

 

I remember the day that I discovered picplum very clearly.  It was August 19th, and I was flying back to Louisiana for my 29th birthday after having spent 3 weeks in Southern California with my fiance’ and his son.  It was actually the last time I would ever fly “home” to Louisiana and I knew that it would be – because 11 days later my daughter and I would officially become residents of California.

I had spent nearly 30 years as a Louisiana resident.  My entire life.  My 4 year old’s entire life.  I was excited for a new adventure.  My family was excited for me too, for sure.  Even so, there were a lot of tears.  Like, a lot.  A ton.

I think it was mostly over the fact that my daughter was going with me.  Not that they don’t love me or anything, but if you are a parent, or a grandparent you understand the joy that a grandchild brings to a family.  You also understand that if said grandchild lived with you for a good year of her life and also came over for dinner at least once a week then that loss hurts even more.

But back to my story.  I was sitting in the Dallas airport, waiting on yet another delayed flight, when I saw a tweet from my fiance’ – suggesting that I check out picplum.  The idea behind it was that you can upload photos throughout the month – from your phone, your computer, and via email  - and on a certain day each month picplum will print and ship that “batch” of photos to addresses that you had previously specified.

I literally read the tweet, went to the picplum website, and pulled out my credit card to sign up.  I was totally sold – I could think of no better gift and surprise for my family back home.  The idea is simple, 50 cents per print, and starting at $2.50 shipping per recipient.  So for under 10 bucks a month, I can print and ship photos to my parents of my daughter, my soon-to-be-son, and occasionally myself and my fiance’.  They get everything from photos of the first day of school, to sleepy morning photos, to photos of us all at the pumpkin patch.

Here is what one of my upload pages looks like:

You can see in the top left hand corner that I sent 3 different recipients 19 photos each.  I love me some picplum.

As I sat in the airport uploading my photos, I found myself with a few questions.  I sent a tweet to @picplum and had a response almost immediately.  At other times I’ve been on the site and the live chat has popped out and one of the founders has said “Hey Erika – let me know if you have any questions!”.  The customer service is amazing – and the team really cares about building a great product with a clean customer experience.  I love to feel special – and the folks at picplum have a way of doing that for me without even trying.

My family loves getting the photos each month – they really look forward to it and I always get elated text messages and phone calls when a new batch arrives.  My fiance’ has signed up with his own account and sends photos to family back in Connecticut, Maine, and Florida – and just this month he wised up and added me to his account!  I got my first batch in the mail a few weeks ago and I was so impressed!  Check it out!

They come in a pretty purple envelope (excuse the iPhone photo – but awesome packaging ftw!):

And the photos are just gorgeous!

Can you tell I just think picplum is the coolest thing since sliced bread?  Cause I do.  I have nothing to gain from shouting from the rooftops that I love this company – I just think they’re awesome!  I am a happy paying customer, and I know that will continue for the foreseeable future!

Because the guys over at picplum know that I’m a happy customer, they offered to giveaway some photo credits here on Chic Shopper Chick – which I thought was a super idea!  So, if you want to try out picplum for yourself, enter to win $50 in credit – which should get you several batches of photos printed and shipped!

Don’t want to wait to get started?  You can sign up for your picplum account now (and the first 5 people who sign up for picplum through Chic Shopper Chick and print and ship a batch of photos will get $10 in credit towards their next order) and if you win the giveaway, then they will just apply the credit to your account!

One last thing.  I want to do a little reverse disclosure here.  I am not benefiting through this write up whatsoever.  I am not getting any free product, and I am not being paid by picplum.  The link that you click above is not an affiliate link – it’s simply a tracking link so that we can keep track of the first 5 orders (and know who to credit the $10 to).  The guys at picplum simply offered this to do this though my site because I am a crazy fan and have been vocal about my support of the company from day one.

Ok, so now the good stuff.  To enter:

Holiday Gift Guide: RCA USB Wall Charger and Wall Plate

 

 

Thanks for checking out my 2011 Holiday Gift Guide!  Be sure to check out Our Ordinary Life and Mommy Mandy for more great gift ideas!

*  *  *  

I am engaged to the world’s hottest man.  He also happens to be a bit of a tech-geek, which to me, makes him even better looking.

So, when RCA approached Kristin, Amanda, and I with this cool little slice of awesomeness for consideration in our Holiday Gift Guide, I knew we just had to include it.  In our house we have 2 iPhones, 2 MacBook Pros, 2 Kindles, a Nintendo DS, a MiFi port, a PS3, and XBox 360 with Kinect, a Motorola Xoom, and an iPad 2.  Can you tell we have a few things that need charging?

The first of these two awesome products is the RCA USB Wall Plate Charger which effectively converts any standard outlet into a USB outlet. It allows you to have 2 USB ports as well as still have one of your regular outlets.

RCA USB Wall Plate Charger:

• Turns any standard outlet into a USB outlet
• Allows access to the other standard power outlet via pass through
• Charges quickly
• Charges 2 smartphones or 1 tablet at the same time
• Optimized 2.1 amp outlet for iPad

The second of the two products is the RCA USB Wall Charger.  This genius product charges super fast, with full-speed charging for 2 smartphones at the same time or 1 tablet. My favorite part about this one is that it is portable, but also provides a spot for you to rest your gadget on.  The clip rotates so that it will fit almost any outlet (how frustrating are the ones that are installed sideways, or upside down?!) and still hold said gadget while it charges.

RCA USB Wall Charger:

• Converts any 110V AC outlet into 2 USB charging outlets
• 2 Amp USB power for full-speed charging of 2 smartphones or 1 tablet
• Holds your gadget with ease
• Charger rotates 90 or 180 degrees to accommodate any plug orientation
• USB charger includes cover so it is perfect for home or travel

Xoom, Xoom, Xoom with Motorola

Motorola contacted me a few weeks ago and asked if I was interested in learning how the Motorola Xoom Tablet would pretty much rock my world/improve my life.  Well, if you know much about my often-unorganized, more-than-chaotic life then you know I all but tackled the computer in order to respond with a very casual “sure, I’d love that”.

When it arrived in all of its shiny, new, sleek glory, I felt myself get all tingly.  I carefully read the instructions, and then pressed the power button and watched my Xoom spring to life.  The honeycomb (the Android 3.0 operating system – which has been optimized for tablets) is pretty incredible.

I’m a heavy user of the suite of Google products, so an android-based tablet was definitely the way to go for me.  I was thrilled to see that my Google Calendar, Gmail, Google Docs, and ahem even Google + were all easily accessible from the Xoom.  I manage almost all of my editorial calendars this way, as well as share ideas with colleagues, access information on various campaigns, and keep track of all of my invoicing with the Google suite.  Accessing them all with the Xoom has made my life even easier.

Of course, the Xoom isn’t all business.  It kept my busy social calendar organized while I was at BlogHer11, making sure that I knew exactly where I was supposed to be at all times (and also giving me an excuse to politely duck out of conversations that were taking a bit too long – the calendar on my Xoom would pop up and I’d apologetically show it to whomever I was speaking with as I said my goodbyes and dashed off.  My apologies if you were one of those people – let’s just say I am not good at exits.)

I’m also obsessed with the app “Pulse” which was recommended to me by the good folks at Motorola. Pulse is a customizable news aggregator and it ROCKS. It makes it so much easier to keep up with the important things in life – you know like the upcoming Kardashian wedding, for one.

Of course, my daughter and future step-son have found their own use for my Motorola Xoom.  So much so, as a matter of fact, that my fiance’ looked at me the other day and said “We’re going to have to buy another Xoom”.  He may be right, because there is lots of Cutting of the Rope, Fruit Ninjaing, and Angry Birds flying across the screen on a daily basis.  Oh and air hockey.  And pool.  And yes, I let our 4 and 5 year old play pool on the Xoom.  I consider it a part of our preschool aged college-prep program.

Also, this may sound cheesy but I was so very thankful for our Xoom on a 4-times and 5-hours delayed airport layover – mostly because it kept my 4 year old daughter happy.  Which, in turn, makes me VERY happy.

Did I mention that the Xoom has some pretty cool video capabilities?  Check out this adorable video of my daughter singing happy birthday to me – all shot and uploaded in under 5 minutes on my Xoom.

Gosh I love that kid.

So anyway, as you have probably realized by now, I’m a huge fan of the Xoom, and not just because it showed up on my doorstep, but because it really does rock. I am certainly the envy of my tablet-less fiance’ as he sits on the couch in the evenings with his big, bulky laptop and I flick through the latest celebrity gossip, tweet, and answer emails from my slim little Motorola Xoom. Come to think of it, I think he’s right, we will need another Xoom…I just don’t think it will end up being for the kids.

Disclosure: I have a working relationship with Motorola and this was a sponsored post.

Dyson Digital Slim DC35: A Lifesaver

This week I have another great video made specifically for the Walmart Moms to share with you all about the Dyson Digital Slim DC 35.  It’s really cool to watch this video and see how much engineering and thought goes into the making of one of these vacuums – it’s actually rather incredible.  However, before I do, I want to share with you the story of how this little handheld, cordless vacuum saved my booty this week.

Here is the story, in short form.

I already have a large upright vacuum that I use on my rugs and the carpet in the bedroom.  The DC 35 was chillin’ and charging in the corner and I had 2 hours until I had to leave to pick up my fiance’ at the airport. Time to vacuum, right?  Wrong, My upright vacuum cleaner would just NOT work.  I couldn’t get it to recline. Out of desperation, I put the extension on the DC 35 and turned it on. I vacuumed my entire house with it in 13 minutes flat with full-blow suction the whole time. And we’re not just talking a so-so vacuuming experience, we are talking SERIOUSLY clean.

It even sucked up a few rogue cheetos from under the couch.  Remind me to thank my 4 year old for that one.

Check out the video, and tell me that you aren’t dying to have a Dyson Digital Slim DC 35 of your very own? I thought so!

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post for Walmart as a part of my role in the Walmart Moms. All opinions are, and always have been, my own.

The Dyson DC35: Digital, Slim, Powerful

4 years ago I wanted one thing for my birthday – a new vacuum cleaner.  After purchasing one that cost me quite a bit of money I used it for about 4 months before it bit the dust. Luckily, later that year Dyson came to my rescue with a truly drool-worthy vacuum (yes, I just used the phrase “drool-worthy vacuum” and TOTALLY meant it) – the Dyson DC25 Ball vacuum – which rocked (or swiveled!) my world!

Not long after they came to me yet again with the Dyson DC28 Animal – which has become my go-to vacuum cleaner to this day.  The problem is that as much as I love it for it’s power, it’s a whole lot of machine to drag out of the closet for the little jobs – the baseboards, the kitchen floor, etc.

Enter the Dyson DC35 digital slim vacuum – a powerful vacuum that doesn’t lose suction and is both cordless and portable – but yet does so much more than a run-of-the-mill handheld vacuum.

I’m going to be reviewing the DC35 more in-depth as a part of my role in the Walmart Moms, but in the meantime check out this video made just for the Walmart Moms by an engineer at Dyson – this is one sweet little machine!  Bonus: the engineer in the video, Jo, has the cutest accent in the world, so it makes it even more fun to watch!

New Year’s Heath Goals – An Update

Last week I posted some very exciting, life-changing news – I’m engaged!  Because of that, and because a new year is always a great time to set goals for myself, I have been trying to live a more healthy lifestyle.  I want to cook more frequently, more low-carb and I want to lose a few lbs.

An update on the cooking part:  last week I tried to make Spaghetti Squash as a part of an asian-noodle inspired dish.  I did everything properly, and I think the squash turned out ok…but the dish was a disaster.  Horrible.  Smelled up my entire kitchen.  Trying again for something healthy this week, but with a bit more trepidation.

An update on the health stuff:  I started taking vitamins for my hair, nails, and skin because my nails have been so brittle lately and my hair is definitely suffering from this cold winter!  For snacks, I have bought some of the Yoplait light yogurt (you HAVE to try the red velvet!) to have every day as well as some Frigo Cheese Head Light Cheese Sticks, and I’ve been sticking to my whole-wheat english muffins with Smart Balance peanut butter on them or a bowl of Cheerios in the mornings.  The rest of the day I’m usually out and about, but if I’m home I enjoy some of the Marketplace Organic Salad with my homemade dressing drizzled on top.

Oh, and I’ve lost 3 lbs this week!  I’ve been drinking a lot more water and I noticed that it always comes off the fastest in the first week.  I’m looking forward to meeting my 15 lb goal sooner rather than later!   I’ve been using the health and fitness tools from Walmart, and they have really helped to keep me on track and keep me away from candy and cookies.

Thanks to my friends at Walmart, I’m able to workout more frequently thanks to the Kinect and Xbox 360.  What suggestions do you have for me as far as games go?  I hope to share with you my fitness progress in the next post!  Share your ideas with me in the comments!

Seagate Makes Hard Drives Chic {Giveaway CLOSED}

Darling readers — You are about to embark on a sponsored post. However, the opinions and thoughts expressed here are completely my own. The great writing writing and remarkable wit bad jokes are also mine. You can find more information by reading my disclosure policy.

I’m not sure if you’re aware of this, but my daughter is perfect.

And no, bias means nothing to me.  She is simply perfect.

My sweet baby girl is growing up so fast – she’s well past three and a half years old and I can hardly believe it.  She is my only daughter, my only child and that very well could be a final count.  When she was born, the poor thing probably though she was being attacked by the paparazzi.  I took over 1,000 photos of her first week alone.  Sometimes I would just lay her on a blanket, or prop her up on the sofa for impromptu photo shoots – I wanted to remember every single moment of her life and I was so afraid it would all slip away so quickly.  Of course, now when I look at the photos of the first few months of her life, I can barely remember those days so I feel like all of the time spent behind a camera was probably worth it.

Then my iBook crashed, and it crashed hard.  It started throwing out kernel panics like they were candy and before I could do anything to recover – it was all over.  When my Mac crashed,  it took all of my photos and documents with it.  I lost so many precious photos of my sweet baby girl – moments that I worked so hard to capture that still managed to slip away in mere seconds.  Honestly, I was heartbroken in a way that I thought was reserved for lovesick 16 year olds.  I had backed up my computer 2 months before, but I had lost the 2 months of photos that I had taken in between backups – two months out of the 18 that my daughter had been on this earth – and to me, that was significant.  The external drive that I was using for backups was big and bulky and I was sharing it with multiple computers; backing up my computer seemed tedious and pointless – my computer would never crash like that, right?

Wrong. Lesson learned.

Collective Bias recently offered me the opportunity to review the Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Pro – a 750 GB external hard drive for both PC and Mac.  After my photo snafu, and because my iTunes/Gossip Girl addiction has totally filled up my computer’s hard drive, I JUMPED at the opportunity to take one of these sleek looking drives for a ride.  Let me just say – I LOVE it.  Here’s why:

1. At 750 GB, it has more space than the hard drive on my computer, meaning I can hopefully extend the life of my Mac (save for any Kernel Panics like above) by freeing up space on my hard drive.
2. It’s super portable (unlike the giant bulky one I had used in the past) – it fits nicely in the neoprene organizer that I carry all of my power cords and accessories in when I travel, so I never have to travel without the data and photos on my external drive – so it really works like an extension of my computer, which is wonderful.
3. It comes with a USB 2.0 dock plus a USB 2.0 cable to sync and backup my data, but I can also upgrade it to use a Firewire cable, a USB 3.0, or eSATA just by pairing it with the proper cable.  For my fellow tech geeks, you know I’m now speaking your language.
4. It’s sexy!  Yes, external hard drives can be sexy and the Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Pro is proof.  After all, the name of my site is Chic Shopper Chick – you didn’t think I’d get away without pointing out how sleek this looks sitting on my desk, did you?
5. It’s easy.  Encryption software comes pre-loaded on the drive, as well as a driver for the Mac.  It’s also compatible with a PC, if that’s what you’re into. 

Plus, it allows me to store all of the documents for my business, as well as 3.5 years worth of photos from Audrey Grace’s life – like these:

Those are definitely memories worth preserving, right?

Father’s Day Gift Ideas: For The Cool, The Geek, The Superdad

You know, when I started thinking about writing a post for Father’s Day gift suggestions, I realized that (as a non-Father) I would be better off asking an expert.  With that, we have the first ever post on Chic Shopper Chick to be written by a MAN.  Be still my heart.  In my defense, I picked the coolest man I know, who also happens to be wicked smart and a great father.  If you don’t already know Morgan Brown, well, you most definitely should.  So, without further ado, check out his recommendations for Father’s Day!

* * *

With Father’s Day right around the corner it’s always fun to dream of those ideal gifts that you’d love to get as a Dad. Us dads love to think of all the gadgets and toys we’d rather get than the inevitable new tie – that safety blanket for loved ones who think that “Dad is impossible to shop for.”  Well, I’m here to speak for all dads when I say we’re not that hard to shop for.  Especially the geeky kind, like me.  And to prove it I’ve listed the top five gifts on my wishlist for this Father’s Day.  Hopefully you’ll find some inspiration for your gift to Dad here.  If I can save just one dad from getting another tie, my work here will be done.  So with that, let’s get started!

The iPad (varies $499 – $729)
This is the priciest item on the list, but let’s face it, it’s the coolest gadget out there at the moment. If you’ve got a dad that travels for work consider the 3G version which gives him Internet access no matter where he is.  It’ll be a gift for the whole family too, with games, books and video, there is something for everyone on this thing.  Now that I think about it, you might need to pick up two.

SuperDad T-Shirt ($9)
We love to feel loved. And nothing says love like this SuperDad t-shirt in the original Superman font.  It makes us feel super-cool, and at $9 you can’t go wrong.  We don’t want to pat ourselves on the back, but it sure feels good to know that the people that we love think the world of us.  (Note: Tee Fury t-shirts are only available for a day at a time. So, if you miss out on the SuperDad shirt you can always give dad this awesome 1-Up shirt and pay homage to his childhood superheros, Mario and Luigi.)

Geek Dad Book ($8.80)
Let’s face it, we all spend too much time in front of the TV, computer or video game system.  Geek Dad is a book filled with fun ideas that dads can do with kids.  They’re fun and educational and create some great bonding moments between father and son or daughter.  Some of the activities include building the best slip ‘n slide ever and how to transform any room into a spaceship.  Good times!

MAKE Magazine Subscription ($34.95)
If you’ve got a dad that’s the handy type consider getting him a subscription to MAKE magazine.  Filled with tons of DIY (do-it-yourself) projects, this magazine will keep even the biggest tinkerer occupied year round.  And the projects are cool too, like building a cat toy that updates Twitter when the cat pounces.  It’s really the gift that gives year round.

National Wildlife Federation’s Be Out There Pledge (FREE)
The NWF’s new Be Out There pledge is a pledge that families can take to spend more time outside with their kids.  Plus they have great activity suggestions for the outdoors and a free newsletter you can sign up for to receive tips and ideas throughout the year.  Take the pledge together and pair it with a season pass to your local parks and you’ll have a year’s worth of adventures awaiting you on any given weekend.

Bonus – Star Wars Cookie Cutter and Pancake Molds ($19.95)
Here’s a bonus idea that you can buy and use on Father’s Day.  Grab these cool Star Wars cookie and pancake molds and surprise Dad with breakfast in bed.  Nothing says love like Darth Vader and Yoda pancakes.  Plus they’ll make for cool cookies and pancakes for the rest of the Star Wars fans in your family year round.

So there you have it, 6 ideas for dads that go above and beyond the traditional (and tired) tie. I hope these give you some inspiration for this Father’s Day and make your SuperDad’s day.

Geek Chic: Glam Up Your Gadgets

There comes a point in every woman’s life when she is handed the ultimate gadget or newest piece of technology and she smiles from ear to ear.  Then, in the next moment, she stops and wonders to herself what in the world she can possibly do to make it look chic.  Let’s face it, the gadget in itself may be cool, but the ways of toting it around are limited, at least if you’d like to have some sort of style.  And, while black never goes out of style, that plain black laptop bag just isn’t cutting it for you anymore.  Take a look at some of my chic geek girl gadget finds that will have all of your friends drooling!

My friends, meet the iH15.  The sweetest, color-changing, bee-bopping iPod/iPhone dock that there ever was.  This would make a great gift for a teenager, especially, though mine looks kinda adorable in my kitchen.  The best part is while I’m rockin’ out to the Movers, my iPhone is working up a charge.  Sweet.
