Foosball Cooler: When I first saw this I thought it looked so fun and perfect for any outdoor gatherings or parties.

Grill: My aunts got this for my mother in law last year and she LOVES it. It was definitely a hit. 

Weed Torch: If you have pesky weeds that grow between the pavers you can torch them. My husband says he has had this for years and it works. 

Electric Wine Opener: This one is functional and so pretty you can leave it out on the counter. 

Portable AC: I got this for my husband for the garage a few years ago and he loves it. If live in Texas you know how hot it can get here. 

Beer Sling: I also got this for my husband a few years ago and it is perfect for the beach or anywhere you don't want to have to pack up a whole cooler full or drinks. 

Katchy: Spoiler alert: several people are getting this from us this year. Keeps flies at bay.

Sharpening Stone: Perfect for any knife lover. 

Fishing Knife: My grandparents got this for my husband last year and had it engraved. It was such a unique gift and he loved it.

Client Testimonial about Helping During the Holidays

This testimonial above is exactly why we love helping clients get organized during the holidays. Often times we become too stressed and make non well thought out decisions during the holidays. When you hire us for organizing or concierge services during the holidays our goal it to make it as stress free as possible for you. I know a good chunk of the holiday season is still 2 months away, but now is a great time to start thinking about things.
