SAME DAY ROSES DELIVERED VIA SHIPT.COM

SAME DAY ROSES OR LINGERIE DELIVERED

 Amazon stopped overnight delivery days ago...So now what? Meet your new BFF, SHIPT!  Shipt is a local delivery service that is also a personal assistant all in one app.  You can use Shipt for one delivery at a time or purchase an annual membership.  The service is genius.  Log onto Shipt.com or download the Shipt app.  Create an account.  Next, choose the location you want to shop online.  If you are looking for same day delivery of flowers on a budget,  I suggest clicking on TARGET.  Yes, I said Target.  No joke.  Just go with it.  Target recently started carrying fresh flowers.  The roses are good quality red and lush bouquets by the dozen for $19.99 and wrapped up pretty with a bow.  You can add a vase, Godiva truffles and a scented candle.  Don't forget to text your Shipt shopper "this is a gift" and remind them that they need to remove all the labels and add on a heart themed shopping bag for delivery.  Target has numerous options for same day delivery so the whole store is your oyster. You can even deliver same day lingerie. Yes, Target has some upscale lace options depending on your style or needs. Just search the same day delivery options.  Anyone would be thrilled to receive a personalized delivery and no one needs to know it's from Target.  I won't tell, if you don't.

TARGET.COM DELIVERED SAME DAY WITH SHIPT.COM

SAME DAY CHOCOLATES DELIVERED

Just like Santa goes with Christmas, Easter has the bunny, Valentine's Day is synonymous with chocolate.  No need to fight tradition.  My favorite overnight or same day delivery of quality chocolate is from EDIBLE ARRANGEMENTS.  Yes, they can be delivered the same day or you can schedule a pick up at the closest location.  Just log onto www.ediblearrangements.com.  Plug in your zip code so you can order from the location closest to you.  I personally love their dark chocolate covered strawberries by the dozen but they have all kinds of chocolate / fruit variations and other desserts to choose from too. The Mt. Kisco location has never let me down.  Always fresh, sophisticated presentations and delivered on time.  A dozen chocolate covered berries starts at around $45.00 dollars and that includes delivery.  Win, win.

APPLE GIFT CARD

APPLE.COM

A recent survey says, 9 out of 10 Mom's are super tech savvy or have the aptitude for learning how to use the latest devices.

Ok, I just made up that statistic but it sounds good for those of you who need the stats to be convinced that upgraded tech gear for Mom is a brilliant gift idea.

Apple gift cards can be instant and broken down into any denomination. The thought here is very REAL. I'm sure your Mom could use an upgrade from Zooming off of her iPhone 5. How about replacing the 2012 laptop with Apple's latest iPAD or smart watch? Update her old headset for wireless AirPods? Apple gift cards can be used for anything and everything under the brand umbrella including Apps, Arcade and Music. Mom has no excuses. Apple recently reinstated their "in person" tutorials so she can spend hours learning how to navigate on any of Apple's latest gear. No time like the present!

Tea Forte Green Tea Assortment Rejuvenation Gift Set

Afternoon Tea in England is no joke.  It is a tradition that dates back to 1840.  Introduced in England by Anna, the seventh Duchess of Bedford. The Duchess would become hungry around four o'clock in the afternoon.  The evening meal in her household was served fashionably late at eight o'clock, thus leaving a long period of time between lunch and dinner.  In 2016, time is a luxury so sipping tea anytime of the day is a soothing, calming invigorating experience.  Taking time for tea is taking time for me.  Preparing the perfect cup of tea is an art-form.  Tea Forte has mastered the art of making tea extraordinary, soothing and the best part?  Simple!  The Tea Forte Rejuvenation Gift Set is a perfect pick for Mom to create a Zen moment anywhere she pleases.  The cup provides endless solo soothing moments.  Our favorite flavor is the Jasmine Green Tea.  Pure heaven!

END OF-SEASON WARM AND COZY MUST HAVES YOU WANNA BUY RIGHT NOW!

Sherpa Doggie Onesie By Ugg

This year, the spring equinox (also called the March equinox or vernal equinox) falls on Thursday, March 19. This event marks the astronomical first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere.

Don’t let that March date fool you. Winter is still here for at least another month. That means some of us around the globe can’t pack away the winter coat, just yet. Savvy shoppers also know that right NOW, is the perfect time of year to take advantage of some end of the season winter sales. It’s a great time to scoop up some winter gear for discounted prices.  This season THE WANNA has been obsessed with everything and anything lined with soft, cozy sherpa or fleece. So, THE WANNA hand picked a list of sherpa and fleece items that are smart investments and on sale right now! Stay warm and happy hunting! 

THE WANNA XO

Berkshire Plaid Microfleece Sheet Set

BERKSHIRE MICRO FLEECE SHEET SET -  If you live in a cold climate and are forced to endure below freezing temps, then you must own at least one set of Microfleece sheets. THE WANNA has tested all the top brands of fleece sheets and Berkshire is one of the best quality brands. These sheets will change your life!   Not all fleece sheets sets are created equal. We chose Berkshire microfleece sheet sets because they are top quality, super soft, warm, thick (not heavy) and machine washable without fading, thinning or static cling. Berkshire fans know this is the best time of year to invest in new sheets so, if you can find your bed size on sale, grab them! Once you sleep on fleece sheets, you will never wanna sleep on anything else. The Plaid Microfleece Twin size sheet set in plaid is currently on sale at Amazon.com, starting at $40.99.

INNOVATIVE “INDIE” GIFTS FOR DAD THIS FATHER’S DAY!

Father’s day is Sunday, June 16, 2019!

Time to take note and say thanks to Daddy dearest.  Give your Dad a break from picking up the tab and show him how much you appreciate him this season with one of these “INDIE” gifts!

“INDIE” is about everything that isn’t mainstream, going deep and discovering those hidden gems.

The WANNA has done all the legwork and crafted a list of online, cutting edge, innovative “INDIE” gifts, that your Dad is gonna dig!

1.  PHONE SOAP:  News flash… Your Dad is going to bed with the filthiest thing every night. NO!  Not your mom!  His phone.  Smart phones are filthy.  Think about it, we carry them everywhere.  From when we wake up, the first thing we reach for is the phone, trips to the bathroom have never been more entertaining and when we settle into bed with all the lights out, it’s the phone light that lulls us to sleep.  Admit it. You’re addicted to your phone.  Safe to say Dad is a victim too.  That’s why our first “INDIE” gift pick PHONE SOAP is a must have for Dad.  Not only will you look like a genius child, (Dad is always reminding us to wash our hands) but, PHONE SOAP actually helps by impairing bacteria’s DNA, and killing it with UV-light. No water or soap required. How sci-fi is that? Now, don’t take it from us, LORI GREINER one of the stars of the hit show, Shark Tank (ON ABC) believes in PHONE SOAP and chose to invest $300,000 into creating the product.

RETAIL PRICE:  $59.95

WHERE TO BUY PHONE SOAP

2. DAKOTA WATCHES:  Whether your dad is a watch enthusiast or thinks Rolex is the latest green glass cleaner, this next “INDIE” gift pick, DAKOTA WATCHES will keep him sharp and on time.  DAKOTA WATCHES don’t care about being big or diamond-encrusted. Their elegance comes from simplicity, from the beauty of wearing a watch outdoors and smelling the pines as you trek the evergreens. DAKOTA WATCHES are adventurous and timeless (see what we did there?)

RETAIL PRICE:  $75 – $97

WHERE TO BUY DAKOTA WATCHES

3. GREENPAXX SNACK PACKS AND STRAWS:  Being a Father is hard work.  We get it.  Mom usually is the one who takes care of organizing all the stuff (except for those OCD dads). Our third “INDIE” gift pick, GREENPAXX SNACK PACKS AND STRAWS, will make Dad look like a hero, and may even outshine Mom in the organization side.  GREENPAXX SNACK PACKS AND STRAWS are sure to become a kids’ favorite. They can serve as popsicle makers in the summer, and as snack packs all year long.  And it’s an easy rinse and overnight dry, so they’re always clean and ready to go.  Pretty much like dad!

RETAIL PRICE: $13.95

4. NAME 5:  So what’s the gift for the gamer Dad?  No, he’s probably not hogging your Xbox or PS4, but he is the guy who bought you your first Monopoly set.  Game night means a lot for him!  Our next “INDIE” Father’s Day pick is a new game bound to save game night forever. NAME 5 is the easy game of questions you know the answers to!  Dad can surely name one Tom Hanks movie, but can he name five before the time runs out? If he can, he’ll be your family’s biggest nerd, and greatest champion.

RETAIL PRICE: $24.99

WHERE TO BUY

5. LEAFCUTTER DESIGNS COCKTAIL DICE:  After game night, comes some alone time…  And that’s when everyone likes to experiment and get creative.  Spice things up a bit. With a little refreshment.  This next “INDIE” gift pick, the LEAFCUTTER DESIGN COCKTAIL DICE will let Dad experiment with your best cocktail ingredients to create a new classic.  The cocktail dice are handcrafted, and comes with simple instructions to make mixology even more fun.  Let dad be the mix master of his own house.

RETAIL PRICE: $16.00

WHERE TO BUY

6. VINNIBAG:  Sometimes you just wanna take date night on the go.  Let Dad get outta the house, away from the kids, and share a night with just him, mom, and their favorite wine.  How to take the wine to their date night under the stars?  Look, all parents do that.  It’s the reason you’re here.  With our next “INDIE” gift pick, of course. VINNIBAG, the wine bag that protects and insulates liquids and is an easy to pack, versatile travelling companion. VINNIBAG’s innovative, inflatable design was featured at the Museum of Modern Art in sunny San Francisco, and we can assure you it changes the meaning of drinking out of a bag.

RETAIL PRICE: $29.99

WHERE TO BUY

7. GREAT MINDS: Dad is king of the castle.  Keeping the castle running is hard work, though.  Sometimes you just need to put your mind to something else.  Let Dad focus on GREAT MINDS puzzles.  Each one of the puzzles reflects the “great mind” who inspired it.  From Faraday and Franklin to Kepler and Edison, our seventh “INDIE” gift will boost Dad’s mind (and possibly frustrate him a bit before he feels the satisfaction of solving them)! Let dad unleash his inner Ben Franklin without risking electrocution and dressing like a dork.

RETAIL PRICE: $19.99

WHERE TO BUY

8. OLLIE:   Remember how Dad broke his back to get you the latest GI Joe?  After all, he had to give up on his toys to be responsible for you.  He used to be a risk taker!  He probably gave up on his skateboarding career!  Give back to Dad by giving him a toy for grown ups.  Ugh!  No!  Not that.  A toy that can be used with his super-clean smartphone!  Developed by INDIE games studio, Sphero, OLLIE is like a real life Tony Hawk video game without the snarky skater attitude.  Our last “INDIE” pick has been highlighted in websites including Mashable, The Fast Company, and even The Huffington Post. Its innovative mechanism lets you use your phone as a controller for your live action road warrior.  And yes, it really is as fun as it sounds.

This holiday season, The WANNA doesn’t just want you to give, we want you to give good. We’ve got the hottest picks for the 2015 holiday season that will have everybody on your list covered!

FOR A BEAUTIFUL HOLIDAY HOME
SoHo Trees

Not only will SoHo Trees deliver a beautiful Fir to your home, but they’ll also decorate it! The WANNA reckons that this is the perfect way to get your family feeling festive, especially if you don’t have the time to get down to the tree lot yourself!

These NYC florists say that “Everyday is in full bloom” and we agree! An Ariston Flowers arrangement also makes a great hostess gift for that hot holiday party!

FOR THE FITNESS FANATIC

For that friend or family member who’s training for a marathon and doesn’t let the cold weather get in the way. Keep their ears warm (and stylish) with these ear warmers that double as headphones. And 180s sells a whole range of tech-savvy gear that will arm your loved ones for the cold season. After all…

Alomune

And all new parents are vulnerable to their kids’ colds. Give their immune systems a boost with Alomune, an immune supplement that comes either in powder form or as chewable tablets. These also make great stocking stuffers for those college freshmen who came home sniffling after finals.

These great phone covers from Findables come with a personalized QR-code that allows you to instantly connect with new friends through your online social media profiles. Perfect for your networking pals, and the case even doubles as a phone stand!

FOR THE FOODIE
Mrs Prindable’s

If candy apples had a queen, she would be Mrs Prindable. These apples are not only beautifully presented but are also delicious, (the ITM team definitely enjoyed the taste test…) and they come in over a dozen flavors. So good, you might just want to keep them for yourself this holiday season! If you want to give the gift of year-round deliciousness, how about signing up a loved one for Mrs Prindable’s “Apple-A-Month” program?

FOR THE FILM BUFF
LG

If they’re fanatical about film, addicted to television, or obsessed with video, why not treat your loved one to an LG Smart TV? Top-of-the-line and great for enjoying your favorite episodes of The WANNA!
