That’s right boys and girls, Mother’s Day is right around the corner. Sunday May 13th to be exact. But instead of forgetting all about it and rushing to the mall on the way to your Mom’s this year, we here at SmartCanucks are giving you a bit of a heads up — and a great gift suggestion too!

Full Bloom Tea is a really original product that would make a perfect gift for that first special lady in your life. Everybody loves tea right? How about flowers? Well Full Bloom Tea is both gifts all rolled into one. When you add boiled water, the tea grows before your very eyes into a snappy little bouquet. It’s not only for Mother’s Day, either. Full Bloom Tea has honestly replaced flowers as my “I need to send flowers” gift. It’s just too neat of a product not to gift. Who wouldn’t love a tea that turns into a plant?

Full Bloom has a number of Mother’s Day specials on right now, all of which include the glass teapot so you can watch the bloom as it grows. They start at $29.99 USD, but don’t let the currency fool you – they ship worldwide. If you’re just interested for yourself, they offer free samples. They charge $2 for shipping on the free samples, but they also provide you with coupons for your next order that more than make up for it.

I’m not sure if this “unique and unmistakable shopping event” is simply $20 off $95 or whether there’s more to it. But anyhow remember that this event is today (April 25) from 5 – 9pm only.

I just finished upgrading the blog and I also changed the template. The new template has two sidebars instead of one so there’s more space for for adding other useful stuff in the sidebars 🙂

During the upgrade I lost about 10 comments from the last two days. I’m terribly sorry about that. It was purely unintentional.

Please let me know what you think of the new design and what you’d like to see in the sidebars 🙂

Thanks JennyP for this awesome deal 🙂

Receive a $100 Sunglass Hut Gift Card for 360 Air Miles. According to operabob this turns out to be:

That’s $0.278/AM or about double the usual $0.13-$0.14 gift card rate.

Not a ad deal if you’re into designer sunglasses.

Robert D. Gibb is posting a stunning series of articles on Air Miles on the forum. I found the series very useful and enlightening so I’m posting it on the blog as well.

I’ve always been fascinated with competitive eating. Maybe it’s just my love of hot dogs, but I think I could take that little Japanese bastard Kobayashi. But McCompetitive Eating? That’s the real challenge.

In the comfort of his own home (and therefore probably not officially recognized), Dave “Megamunch” Schoffner downed 80 Chicken McNuggets in under 30 minutes to set the new world record for chicken nugget consumption. But does he pull it off?

McDonald’s Mondays is a weekly series of posts written by our own Jim Squires that initially appears on his pop culture blog fjetsam.com.

I was reading Dags’ blog and she had a video of the “Fast Food Song”. Annoying song but I can’t get it out of my head :P  …  the video is so cheesy
