Fall Foliage in New England

   If you're looking for a picture perfect vacation this fall, then now's the time to visit New England for it's impeccable  foliage.
  One town I'd recommend is Kent, Connecticut.   This small town gets tourists from all over.  New Yorkers love it.  You have the little mom and pop shops, churches, unique restaurants and bed and breakfasts to lounge and dine.
  Once you're in town, you can see why Kent is the #1 town in Connecticut for fall foliage.  All you have to do is look all around you and there you will see backdrops of tree-coated mountains.  You're literally standing in a perfect picture.

   The highlight of this tiny town, I'd say, would be Kent falls.  Kent Falls sit on a direct route about 4.5 miles out from town. It's known for it's wooden covered bridge and beautifully layered waterfall (which you are able to walk in the midst).  The fall trickle in a crystal clear pond, filtering into a rocky stream.  I haven't seen water this clear since I left Washington state. You'll see families having picnics, kids playing Frisbee, and hikers ready to explore.

   The foliage of New England is unlike any other, and is a perfect place to shop for unique gifts to bring back home to your friends and relatives.

The Holidays Are RIGHT Around the Corner!

Too many of us wait until after Halloween to start thinking about Christmas and the holiday season.  But waiting that long will ensure that you'll to pay 20% more than you would have if you have taken into it consideration  September or October.

Still, even if you do happen to wait until November, there's always the HolidayPatrol.com to to cover up what you forgot about.

For Those Of You Who Like To Shop, Try...

I know our company is for those who dislike shopping or those who don't have the time to.  But, for those of you who don't mind it or actually love it, I'd recommend the Hallmark store.

If you're looking for something different (non-Walmart), I'd say you ought to consider the Hallmark store.  Why?  Because it's in every state and in almost every mall.  Not only that, but like I said earlier, they have a lot of somewhat unique things. 

You'll sometimes find beautiful handmade copper wind chimes, little glass trinkets, pink ribbon accessories, quality purses, and Willow Tree figurines. I have the Willow Tree figurines all over my house.  They make for great gifts.  Especially family gifts.

So, besides the basics above, you'll be surprised when I tell you the Hallmark store is selling FROGS! Yep, went to buy a few cards this past weekend and found on display  4x4 tanks with 2 [live] baby frogs!  Something cool for the kids!

Football Season!

Alright, football season is finally hear.  Nothing like it.  Although the Eagles lost to the Packers last night, that's fine. Just the first game of the season, right?

Anyway, the majority of the people who has taken a likening to our website, HolidayPatrol.com, are huge...HUGE football fans!  Just thought you'd like to know.

Nerds Are Cool!

"Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one."-Bill Gates

I know this is completely off topic, but, nerds are cool!  I, myself, am not one, but had an admiration for them in high school and still, til' this day. Popular kids were boring to me. It always fascinated me how the smart kids could ace every test and break down the meaning of a certain subject or topic upon request.  Or even how fast they can learn a language! sheesh! 

Anyway, nerds are really cool!  And if you are a nerd, kudos!

Celebrites Hate Shopping Too!

You'd think that any millionaire would love to shop, since they have the "dough" for it, especially celebrities.  But apparently, this isn't so.  Surprisingly,  pop diva, Madonna, boy band singer, Nick Jonas, "Get Me To the Greek" star Russell Brand, and actress Maria Menounos all say they "hate shopping!".

Hey, you like what you like.  Right?

Funny Encounter

I  was thinking I'd do a blog today about funny encounters I've had with complete strangers who have been fascinated with our company.

One time, was in the winter of  '09. I had driven up to our local car detailer to get my car washed. Once I pull in, the owner's son, who's also a worker there saw, our company sign on my truck and just started asking thousands of questions. I didn't mind though, that just meant he was intrigued. Now, I don't remember any other question but the very last one. He asked, "So, can you buy my wife some sexy lingerie?"

In my head I'm thinking, "What?!  This guy is hilarious!"  I had to break it to him, "Sorry sir, we don't get that

personal."

HolidayPatrol.com to the Resue For All Men On Planet Earth

You haven’t been hiding under a rock, the HolidayPatrol.com has. This website, hands down, is the best kept secret for every man on this planet!

Not only does the Holiday Patrol gift-shop on a man’s behalf, they’ll even ship gifts off for them too!

As one reviewer of the website says, “They (the Holiday Patrol) keep a lot of guys out of the dog house. Woof! Woof!” 

And it’s true! I can’t count how many times I hear women complain about their husbands giving them a vacuum or pots for their anniversary. Let’s just say the day doesn’t end too well.

That’s why, with the HolidayPatrol.com, all the guy has to do is go online, tell the site when his anniversary or whatever holiday it may be, answer a few simple, quick questions and the Holiday Patrol will examine his selection. Once that’s all said and done, the company will carefully examine the customer’s selection and personally go out and shop for the best-fit gift.

Don’t assume they’ll shop for cheesy gifts. No way! You’ll be surprised when your wife gets a bracelet from “Tiffany’s”. Yeah, that Tiffany’s! Everything the Holiday Patrol ships out is always good quality. You’ll find gifts from “Best Buy”, “Edible Arrangements”, “Bath & Body Works”, and “Sephora” just to name a few big brands.

So if you’re that type of guy who gets a thrill out of going gift shopping, then, this is definitely not the place for you. But if you’re that guy who can’t stand the frustration of shopping for your lady because you have no clue what women want, then run, don’t walk to the HolidayPatrol.com. Don’t worry; they’ve got your back, they allow you to place orders up to a year in advance. That gives you more of a reason to do what makes sense and take advantage of the Holiday Patrol.
