Men's Valentine Gift Idea - Stateside Man Goods

Maggie Bags Handbag Giveaway

I believe in helping the environment as much as possible and recycle etc. in support of that. Recently there have been some clothing and accessory companies that have found ways to recycle materials into clothing and bags but I find that while many of the items are functional they are not really aesthetically pleasing. Maggie Bags are made using genuine automotive seat belt webbing, they use as much of this rejected seat belt material as possible in their products. Availability of rejected seat belt webbing can vary greatly therefore some webbing must be purchased new to meet the growing demand for Maggie Bags. However, our commitment to use repurposed seatbelt webbing whenever possible remains steadfast. The Maggie Bags team is continually looking for creative ways to do our part for the environment. We are proud that the construction of our handbags is a simple cut-and-sew operation. This helps to minimize the environmental impact of manufacturing new materials and eliminates the need for typical recycling processes that consume large amounts of energy and other resources.

J.J. Abrams will direct Star Wars: Episode VII, the first of a new series of Star Wars films to come from Lucasfilm under the leadership of Kathleen Kennedy. Abrams will be directing and Academy Award-winning writer Michael Arndt will write the screenplay.

“It’s very exciting to have J.J. aboard leading the charge as we set off to make a new Star Wars movie,” said Kennedy. “J.J. is the perfect director to helm this. Beyond having such great instincts as a filmmaker, he has an intuitive understanding of this franchise. He understands the essence of the Star Wars experience, and will bring that talent to create an unforgettable motion picture.”

George Lucas went on to say “I’ve consistently been impressed with J.J. as a filmmaker and storyteller. He’s an ideal choice to direct the new Star Wars film and the legacy couldn’t be in better hands.”

"To be a part of the next chapter of the Star Wars saga, to collaborate with Kathy Kennedy and this remarkable group of people, is an absolute honor,” J.J. Abrams said. “I may be even more grateful to George Lucas now than I was as a kid."

OXO, Crooks & Robbers?

OXO the company that makes all those nifty gadgets with rubber handles was picketed earlier this week by consumer products company Quirky. While I have never done any reviews for OXO, my mother and I both own and regularly use many OXO Good Grips tools and other OXO products. I had never heard of Quirky until I received an email earlier today from OXO explaining the whole incident. In addition to picketing the OXO offices in New York Quirky has posted a billboard two blocks from the OXO office in New York and posted on their social media channels about it.

What is all the hullabaloo about you may be wondering? Quirky is claiming that OXO "ripped off" their Upright Dust Pan design which is not what transpired. OXO has offered a very gracious explanation of the whole incident which you can read by going HERE.

In my experience OXO is a company that makes quality consumer products and I will continue to buy from and support OXO. I urge you to read the full article so you can be well informed on this incident.

You can follow OXO on FACEBOOK and TWITTER for updates on this matter and to learn about new products, deals, and company updates from OXO.
