Girl's best friend.
Who doesn't love the satisfying pop-pop-pop of a sheet of bubble wrap? Today is the 50th birthday of the packing material turned amazing stress-reliever, which actually started (believe it or not) as a type of wallpaper! Popping a sheet of the stuff takes me back to my childhood, when sometimes the packaging was far more exciting than the actual gift inside. My sister and I used to fight over Read more

Everyone knows I'm a big fan of bubble wrap (little Katie Sugar loves it too!). Whenever a package comes in, I pray for the bubbles instead of those lame peanuts that I can't do anything with (besides toss them up in the air and create my own personal snow globe). The Bubble Wrap Key Chain has quelled my need for popping somewhat, but I need more! More bubble wrap, I say! Enter the Bubble Wrap Read more
With yesterday serving as National Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day, I wanna know if your kitty was on board with the raucous celebration. While some people suggest wrapping the bubbly stuff on furniture legs and sofa corners to deter scratching, others use this product as a fun toy! Do you have a pet that looooves the popping sound or one that becomes a scaredy cat with that clamor? Source Read more
My love affair with bubble wrap began as a small child when my parents bought something wrapped in that noisy stuff. I remember sitting on the carpet meticulously popping bubble after bubble. So, when I learned that today is Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day, I felt compelled to share this love with you . . . and my dog. I had some of the packing material stored for my next breakable shipment so I Read more
One of the best things about being a gadget freak is a constant stream of packages filled with bubble wrap. Sure it isn't earth-friendly, but no I don't know anyone who can walk by it without a pop or two. Enter the gadget you never knew you never needed - but still totally want. The PuchiPuchi is a small keychain gadget that lets you experience the joy of popping bubble wrap over and over Read more
Good news for Parenthood fans who have been anxiously awaiting news on the bubble show: it's been picked up for a fourth season! NBC has also given the green light to a seventh season of 30 Rock — but it will be the last. The season will also be shortened, giving the show 13 episodes to wrap things up. I'm happy about this news across the board: I've been pulling for Parenthood since the Read more
In honor of Freaky Friday (today's Friday the 13th!), I thought I'd pull together a list of 13 freaky foods. Even if you don't have triskaidekaphobia (the fear of the number 13), you may be afraid of some of the things on this list. I know there are a bunch of other freaky things out there (how about almost anything Andrew Zimmern eats on his show?), so if you think something's missing, we want Read more
