I’ve been familiar with Lands’ End for decades, seeing as I had American cousins and travelled to the States as a kid for family vacations.  Specifically I have memories of these particular bags.

One could always identify a Lands’ End canvas bag. There’s something about the quality of these bags, that you absolutely KNOW it’s from Lands’ End.

I also know that the backpacks and luggage are amazing gift for kids.  Especially when their names are embroidered on it!!

There are no shortage of products to love!! There’s something for men, women, kids, and even your pets!! Something tells me that my foodie friends would love this as a gift!

This year, Lands’ End is celebrating their 50th anniversary! They are also making it super easy for Canadians to purchase online. Canadians can now view the website in Canadian currency which will make online shopping that much easier. (#happydance)

Look at my Starbucks Gold card!!

I met some cousins at  Starbucks in the summer  and as she paid for the coffee, I noticed she had a STARBUCKS GOLD CARD. I immediately asked  “whats that?” She replied “I received it last year in the mail”. Then I fired away some questions: what does she receive for owning a gold card?  how was she selected? can I take a photo of her with her card? etc etc.

She answered that she has been buying Starbucks cards for along time and that “someone” must be tracking her loyalty and how much money she is spending.

I really thought the GOLD CARD was cool. I mean, seriously…. how many people have you met with a Starbucks Gold Card.

I should mention, that my dear cousin lives part time in Florida and that this program does not exist in Canada yet. Last time I spoke to the publicists for Starbucks in Canada they told me that there was  a small pilot-test being held out West.

Let’s cross our fingers that GOLD CARDS will make their way to major cities throughout Canada.

Me-likey-gold-cards.

The last time I had a GOLD CARD was in 1980 for  a club called Tobascos in Hull. For those who are reading this in Ottawa, I am POSITIVE that this is bringing back memories!!

Look at this variety of ketchup!!

I came home from Florida with Ketchup. Ok..I will admit, I also brought back beer and mustard. But today’s focus is all about KETCHUP.

a) Ketchup with no salt (Heinz)

b) Ketchup with reduced sugar (Heinz)

c) Organic Ketchup (Heinz)

d) Ketchup with no high fructose corn syrup (Hunt’s)

When I saw the variety of ketchup on the shelves at Publix…I said “hmmm..Ive blogged before on mustards, I should blog about all these ketchups”.

When I returned back to Toronto, uut came the veggie nuggets and we did a taste test. The results: They all kinda tasted the same. One word that came to mind: tangy. I wish I had a more sophisticated palate. I really do. I might have to do this test taste again!!! Anyone interested?

My Mom and I...enjoying the taste test

Despite the results of the taste test…I’m thrilled that Heinz and Hunt’s  are listening to customers.  How awesome.
