With the catch cry “It’s time to get Drastic on Plastic.”  in mind, it is great to be involved with this cool product by ssbottleco.

ssbottleco; Stainless Steel Bottle Co was born with one goal: to reduce the amount of plastic being created and disposed of for the simple act of drinking water. Whether it is concerns about the safety of drinking from plastic, the disastrous effects of plastic on our planet, or the simple logic of saving money, SSbottleco offers a product line that provides a solution to all of them.

Party Packs: their party packs are the perfect answer for these and many more situations….party favors for your kid’s birthday parties, looking for something that actually won’t get forgotten about the moment they get home and add to the trash? On a minimum order of 10 bottles, we will provide you with your choice of colors and a permanent, safe, Sharpie paint pen with each bottle.

Click-and-send your Christmas presents- Overseas

Check out Mamamia’s post on Click and Send your Christmas presents.

So thank you Australia Post for inventing Click and Send. This service launched earlier this year but it’s really going to come into its own in time for Christmas. Finally, you can do it all online. You CAN EVEN PAY A BIT EXTRA AND GET YOUR PARCEL COLLECTED FROM YOUR HOUSE. So you can seriously not even leave your virtual life for a moment except maybe to go to the loo. And even then, if you have wireless, you can take your laptop with you. Some do. Not me. But I”m just saying.

Anyway, you certainly don’t need to walk outside your front door if you don’t want to. Yes, the post office will now come to you. I like the sound of that.

ozpost2-1With a few clicks (there’s a very easy online video that explains all the steps here narrated by a man with a very soothing Australia Post-ish voice) you can fill out all the paperwork online, choose how fast you want it to get there etc, print your labels out and then either pay on the spot and have it collected from your house the next day or take your completed paperwork into Australia Post and pay there – while you pick up some more gifts while waiting in the queue. Naturally.

You can visit the Australia Post Click And Send homepage here and have a poke around. All your questions will be answered and your life possibly changed. Especially if you are an Ebay seller or small business who ships internationally…..

And check out this competition where you could win a trip for two overseas with $5000 spending money. Now THAT would be a merry Christmas indeed…..
