Return of the White Shirt




As promised, a follow up on my 'white shirt return'. Sarah Goyer, store manager of Winners at 3657 Richmond Road, Ottawa, Ontario - Way to go girl - you have some excellent people on staff at your store.

I called yesterday and spoke to Erica, who told me 'no problem' and to ask to see Jennifer when I arrived with the shirt. When I went into the store, I spoke to Jennifer, who was aware that I was coming in.

In no time flat I was wandering through the store, looking for a replacement shirt. No problems, no hassles, no grumpy managers threatening to refuse to take the shirt back.
The result - one happy shopper.

If you are in the Ottawa area - stop into this Winners location and say hi to the girls - tell them Hot Cherry Review sent you!

Cool gifts for picky men

Men! How hard is it to find really great gifts for men?

I have a very good friend whose birthday is just around the corner. Every year he gets the same old gifts - tools, add-ons for his boat or snowmobile, something that says 'Jaguar', aged Whiskey. You all know what I'm talking about. It is tough being original when buying for the men in your life.

In my searches I have found a few really cool ideas- how about these? 'Bachelor Mop Slippers' They are machine washable and cost only $9.95.

How about 'The Lazy Spoon'? This great little gadget was featured on 'Oprah'. The spoon is crafted from cherry wood and get this, comes for the right or left handed cook. Cost of this neat little spoon is only $27.00

Keeping with the kitchen theme, we found these 'Hothead Pot Holders'. Hey I could use a set of these. They sell for $12.50, are constructed of silicone so they can take the heat.

Where'd we find all these great little gifts? I was directed to the website of 'The Spoon Sisters'. An online site that delivers to you, great gifts. Check them out by clicking on their name. Make sure to tell them that you saw their wares on Hot Cherry Review!
