Things I want to Purchase for the Adult Easter Egg Hunt

We've all established by now that I'm probably off my rocker, right?  Every time I see something crazy, I research to see where I can find it, or I screen shot it on my phone so I don't forget it.  I need to store everything in one spot, so I'm going to post them here.

The Penis Shaped Egg Mold.  Dicks for everyone!!!!

3rd Annual Adult Easter Egg Hunt

Busy times at the household.  My 3rd Annual Adult Easter Egg Hunt is quickly approaching.

In years past, I've filled plastic eggs with silly things.  The first year was super basic.  Plastic eggs filled with samples and small toys and vouchers for booze.

The second year, I got a bit more intricate.  I scoured the internet and stores and found larger eggs and filled them with samples, toys, booze and vouchers for larger prizes which did not fit into the eggs.  It would have been fine, but I landed myself in the ER the night prior with  a busted ear drum and tinnitus and blood on my ear drum.  I was at the hospital until about 4:30 am and then proceeded on with the Easter egg hunt as scheduled.  -The only issue is that my "VOUCHERS" were notes that said silly things which were supposed to clue me in on what the prizes were.. but they weren't.  So I ended up hanging out whatever I thought people needed.

The 2nd Annual Easter Egg Hunt (abbreviated AEEH from here-on-out) was themed "EVERYBODY Gets a Butt Plug".  I had about 12 butt plugs stuffed into eggs, for no other reason than to make myself laugh.  When you watch a group of adults pull butt plugs out of eggs, the looks on their faces are PRICELESS.

There was one GIANT, blue egg filled with Adult Diapers, that my Dad ended up with.  It was quite hilarious to be honest.  At the end of the event, there were about 39 people that attended last year's AEEH.

**************************

This year, the event has gone through a few more changes.

1. I have goats & chickens now.  My yard is a MESS with animal fecal matter everywhere.  It smells quite barn-like as well.  So we've had to scurry and find a new location.  At this moment, I'm planning on using the clubhouse at my parent's Mobile Home.  I just don't wanna pay the $125.  Blah.

2. The event is taking place on April 1st.  I want the theme to be "ROTTEN EGGS".  I want some eggs to have nothing in them and a few others to have gross things in them like fake bugs or fake poop.  What fun would it be if there weren't a few gag gifts?

3. The way the prizes are handled.  I've continued to fill eggs with small prizes, samples & toys.  I've even gone so far as to keep up the tradition of prize vouchers.... except this year, I'm using raffle tickets.  One side of the ticket goes into the egg and the corresponding side goes onto the prize.  That way I can pick up a prize and yell out the numbers and whoever has the other half of the ticket, wins the prize.

4. I'm also setting aside larger gifts that my guests can bid on.  I'm giving them 25 tickets once they RSVP.  25 once they show up at the event.  The guests can win tickets in Easter eggs and I play a series of games on the Facebook event invitation that allows guests to win more tickets.  I create silly polls where correct answers are worth 2 tickets and then I play more elaborate games, like "Guess which zoo animal I am thinking of" which are worth 20 points.  I also play games like "who can get the most comments in before I shut off the commenting for that specific thread.  Each comment is worth 1 ticket and whoever gets in the last comment is worth 30 tickets."  -I try to keep it interactive and keep the guests excited for the party.

****************************

Here I am 6.5 weeks away from the 3rd Annual AEEH.  I have 263 eggs stuffed and 35 of those are larger prizes that required vouchers.  I have 18 items set aside for the bidding portion of the event.  I still have to buy a ton of booze and go through about 10 totes of stuff.  -See, when I was doing Amazon reviews, I was hoarding all the stuff I reviewed to use as prizes.  I'm not sure the AEEH will be a thing after 2018.  I am keeping a bit of stuff aside for next year, but but next year might be it.  I also buy things on clearance throughout the year, as I see fit and the bank account allows.

This is something I have enjoyed doing, but I can see it as being costly in the future.

So, here's to a fun 2017 AEEH!  I can't wait to see how this turns out.

 

Oregon Trail Beef Jerky

I recently got the chance to try to some beef jerky, from Oregon Trail.  I sampled the Teriyaki flavor jerky.  When it arrives, it's in a vacuum sealed bag.  There are about 4 ounces of beef inside and it is actually still a bit moist.  The smell is a bit overwhelming and reminded me of wet dog food, but whatever.  We ate it in anyway.

This beef jerky is fairly tender.  It's easy to chew and I don't feel like I was going to break my jaw, while I tried to chew on it, as it feels with OTHER brands of jerky.  There are multiple thin strips of beef covered in a delicious teriyaki sauce.  It almost reminds me of my own homemade beef jerky.

This jerky is best consumed within 2-3 days after opening and does need refrigerated if you do not eat it all at once.  -However, my son and I consumed it all in one sitting.  We love beef jerky.

The multi-packs are very reasonably priced, for the quality of ingredients.

If you want to check out the Oregon Trail Beef Jerky, you can visit it on Amazon here.

I did receive this jerky at a discounted rate.

Oregon Trail Beef Stick

My son and I love beef sticks and beef jerky alike.  When my Beef stick arrived in the mail, it really didn't last long.  We had already eaten dinner and it was fairly late.  My Kid saw the stick and ran off.  I had to go hunt him down and ask for it back and tell him that we could SHARE IT.

The multi-packs are reasonably priced.  You get good quality for a fair price.  

I ordered the original beef flavor.  It was a bit spicy but had a good flavor.   The texture was comparable to other beef sticks that I've had before.  These beef sticks have No Artificial Ingredients, No Preservatives, No Nitrates, and NO MSG.  Each stick comes vacuum sealed for freshness. 

Overall, I'd rate this 4 out of 5 stars.  -It is a bit spicier than I'd like but it has a good flavor and texture. As I previously stated, multi-packs are priced exceptionally well.

Anna Lisa Cotton Pads

I've recently had the chance to try three different types of Cotton pads from Anna Lisa.  The first set is the original type of cotton pads in a pack of 240.  The second type is organic cotton pads in a pack of 240.  The third type is Argan oil cotton pads in a pack of 120.

Premium Cotton Pad

Argan Cotton Pads

Organic Cotton Pads

Each of the three packs have a few similarities and differences.  They are all multi packs; each pack has three separate tubes of pads in them.  The individual packs contain 80 pads of the cotton and organic cotton pads and 40 of the Argan oil pads.  Both the Premium Cotton pads & the Organic pads are round and the Argan oil pads are oval shaped.  The Argan oil pads and the Premium pads have sealed edges so the pads don't come apart.  They are also ridged on one side and solid on the other.  The organic pads are not sealed and are smooth on both sides.

Here is a list of the features, as copied directly from the product listings:

Organic

• Made with 100% Organically Grown Virgin Cotton
• Specifically designed to easily split into 2 individual cotton pads! (use outer side)
• Pure Combed Organic Pads, Made in Italy
• All Natural - Chemical Free - Biodegradable, Hypoallergenic
• High Absorbency- LINT FREE -No Fleecing! Tear resistant

Premium

• 100% Pure Combed Cotton Rounds, Made in Italy
• Dual Sided Technology, Dual faced pads for deep cleansing and gentle application.
• LINT FREE- NO FLEECING! Each Pad Individually Stitched, Hypoallergenic
• All Natural - Chemical Free, Super Absorbent with Exceptional Cotton Quality
• Luxurious and Silky Smooth, tear resistent

Argan

• Made with Argan Oil -"Liquid Gold - Rich in Antioxidants
• These dry Pads are 100% Pure Combed Cotton, Made in Italy
• LINT FREE - No Fleecing! Each Pad Individually Stitched
• All Natural - Chemical Free, Biodegradable, Hypoallergenic, High Absorbency
• Dual Faced Pads for Deep Cleansing and Gentle Application 

As you can see, all three types of pads are listed as non-fleecing.  From my experience with these pads, this holds to be true for the most part.  There have not been any cotton strands left on my face, as I've wiped off makeup with these pads.  However, the organic pads pull apart, since they are not sealed on the ends.  They easily break into two separate pieces (a top and bottom) and then the middle section starts to fleece a bit.  However, if you do pull apart an Argan oil pad, they tend to fleece extremely bad.  

All three types of pads seem to have good absorbency.  They're also all natural, so they can be thrown into a compost bin and they will eventually decompose.  

The Argan pads do have Argan oil in them; so they are good for acne prone faces.  

Organic-Premium-Argan

My favorite out of the three are probably the Premium pads.  The rippled side removes makeup and the solid side finishes the cleanse leaving my face feeling soft and refreshed.  Once I've completely wiped off my makeup, I tend to go back over it with the Argan pads to make sure my face is clean and the Argan oil will prevent acne.

Custom, Pre-Printed Envelopes by Business Basics

I am extremely pleased by this set of 100 personalized envelopes.  When I ordered them, I was leery that they were going to be cheap, flimsy envelopes and that the customization was going to be of poor quality.  The product description stated that they are 9 1/2" x 4 1/8".  

During the online customization process you get to pick the ink color, the font, and then there are 4 lines for customization print, but each line can only have 20 characters per line. The fonts are: Arial, Georgia, Helvetica, and Verdana.  Color options are: Black, Brown, Blue, Yellow, Green, Pink, Red, and Purple.  I chose the pink and was a bit worried that it might be too faint on the envelopes to see, but figured I'd go ahead and try it out anyway.  

Here's what I disliked the most about the whole thing.  You can only have 20 characters per line.  This makes it difficult if you have a long name or long street address, or even live in a city with a long name.  On top of that, as you're typing in your customization, it gives you a preview of how it will look on the envelope.  -This is completely inaccurate.  It shows the writing unevenly spaced and sort of all over the place.  Each line varies in size and it looked TACKY!  I was hoping it would NOT look like that when it showed up at my house.  

When the envelopes arrived, I was extremely pleased by the overall quality of the envelopes.  They were thick and sturdy.  The pink was clear and legible.  The customization block was evenly spaced out and uniform.  It looked beautiful!  However... even though I spelled everything correct in my customization, they spelled my name wrong.  -My name is "JAMIE" but they spelled it "J.A.I.M.E.".  I promptly notified the vendor, via the messaging on Amazon and two days later I had new envelopes with the corrected information.  

 At this time, I don't have photos, because all I had taken pictures of was the misprint. -Plus I am a bit lazy and trying to edit out my address, but leave enough that you can see the color print just seems like a bit of work.  

If you want to check out the custom envelopes, you can find them here, on Amazon.

Ceramic Coffee Mug-By Lazer Designs

Although it might be too late to order for Valentine's Day, this mug is gorgeous and would make a perfect gift for the coffee/hot tea drinker in your life.

Lazer Designs has three different styles of this mug:

A heart with the infinity symbol

Love Never Fails/Love is Patient, Love is Kind

Love is patient.

I chose to order the heart with infinity symbol on it.  I'm not super sappy and in to love quotes, but I thought this design was simple and cute, yet fairly elegant.  It gets the point across without being in your face mushy and gross.  

This mug is more of a fuchsia color.  It's a mix somewhere between pink and purple.  The inside of the mug is white.   It's fairly thick and feels really sturdy and heavy.  It lies perfectly flat.  The handle doesn't get super hot.  From the side, the handle actually looks like half of a heart, with the way it's angled.  

The mug is designed to hold a 10 ounce beverage.  It keeps drinks hot and doesn't cool down very fast.  

It is both dishwasher & microwave safe.  -However, I have not used mine in a dishwasher.  I have placed it in the microwave several times though.  The design is laser etched, so it will not fade or rub off.  It's a seriously beautiful mug.
