But Stuff is the Real Winner Here

Mighty Goods is one of Time Magazine’s 50 Coolest Websites! What’s more, my friends at The Morning News and Not Martha are on the list as well. (Woot!) You’ll find the details on Mighty Goods here. I know a lot of you read Mighty Goods, so thank you for all the links and support. If you didn’t love shopping so much, I wouldn’t get to spend nearly so much time in my pajamas.

The San Jose Mercury News recently interviewed me for “Stylish Musings” an article about bloggers who like stuff, and share their passion for stuff with the Internet. A hefty hunk of the article is about Mighty Goods, so go take a peek.

Mad Gift Guides

In case you haven’t been reading Mighty Goods lately, this month has been a out of control. I posted a luxury gift guide, a prudent gift guide, and just put up my 2006 calendar guide. You can see them all by viewing the December archives, and you’ll also find them in article format over at The Morning News.

Happy panic shopping.

Fingers Crossed

You guys, that completely worked. Are you as floored as I am? Mighty Goods is currently shaking it all over eBay and Amazon in the Business Week Poll, shaking it like a Chihuahua in the Arctic Circle, shaking it like Charo on speed! And it’s all thanks to you. If you were here right now, I’d be forcing tequila shots on you. Thanks so much.

(Extra-action thanks to the hilarious Matthew Baldwin, who is nominated in the humor category, and who gave Mighty Goods a hefty plug. Also to Peggy Cusack who told the entire convention staff, and my husband who told everyone else we know. You are sweeties.)

Go Team, Go

Holy crap! Business Week has nominated Mighty Goods in the Shopping category of its Best of Web. As if that isn’t enough of a score, eBay and Amazon are among the other nominees. Ulp.

As you might have guessed, the Goliaths are kicking ass, but I think that’s mostly because they have staffs in the hundreds, all of whom change out of pajamas and wash the Cheet-o powder from their faces before they go to work.

However only 500 people have voted, and I think there may be close to 502 of you, possibly even 503. So please help me take ’em, dear readers. You can do that by going to Business Week, looking for the “Play” header, clicking on shopping and voting for Mighty Goods. Easy as pie.

Thanks for your help. You guys rock.

Woot

Whoa. Mighty Goods got the highest rating in Forbes.com’s shopping blogs round up! I’m totally a professional mall rat.

Mom’s Day Gifts

I just finished a Mother’s Day gift guide for last-minute givers. You’ll find it on Mighty Goods, and also over at The Morning News. All the listed gifts are from sites that offer the option of quick delivery.

Valentine’s Gift Guide

I put together some Valentine’s gift ideas for The Morning News and Mighty Goods. Go buy your sweetie something nice.

Mighty Goods

I’m doing something neat! Please come look. Together with Douglas Bowman of Stopdesign, I’m excited to announce the launch of Mighty Goods. (Trumpets sound, flags unfurl, cue the sexy dancing girls!) It’s a shopping blog full of good stuff, and we’ve been working on it for quite some time. I just love it. I hope you will also love it, because, as you know, your approval sustains me. Hooray for stuff!
