I Love Stuff

Here’s the thing. I like stuff. Actually I love stuff.

I like finding stuff and I like telling people about it almost more than I actually like buying it. And you know what? I think I’m not that bad at it.

Check my shopping lists over at ThisNext.com and judge for yourself. To see all my lists go directly here, a few of the highlights are below.

The newest:

Oktoberfest Diva – When Oktoberfest comes around, ladies, you’re going to want to look the part.

Oh Baby (Prime Baby Gear) – A list in progress for those of you who hate clown prints and firmly believe that parents are allowed to enjoy parenting without compromising taste or their sense of fun.

My all time most popular:

So you wanna go to Burning Man? – Eleven years ago, my first Burning Man was spent sheltered under taped-together trash bags. This list covers everything I’ve learned since then. From first timers to long term Burners, everyone I know who’s seen this list has walked away with an idea or two. For Burning Man Preparation, planning and shopping, consider this list when making yours.

Swim Diva – My part in the fight against the bikini clad having all the fun. Screw that. It’s easy enough to bare it all, finding a suit that’s actually elegant is hard. There are my current favorites.

White Trash BBQ – It’s summer and you’re not in a Martha Stewart kind of mood. More a collection of clichés than an actual shopping list, here is the other way to go.

And I think these aren’t bad either:

The Ironic Housewife -  Here’s some ironic – or better sarcastic – armor to don when you find yourself in a domestic situation and wish to remind your spouse that this is not the new status quo.

The Perfect Aunt – Started this when I heard I had a nephew on the way. Luckily for my sister-in-law, who does not always share my taste, follow-thru was not on this list.

Stuff You Didn’t Know You Needed (and don’t) – Well maybe you do actually.

Headlights – I went off on a tangent once and discovered a whole passle of providers of pasties. Couldn’t just delete that now could I?

Object Lust: These things, I want them so… – I love stuff. I love this stuff the most. Oh, honey? I really want this stuff.
