ETA February 17, 2011: Thanks to everyone who shared their blogs with us this past week. I’ve had so much fun reading! Check out the winning bloggers: Style Substance Soul and Kimberly Michelle.

This just in: New wallet tools are here to help you out of any jam. These credit-card sized sheets of stainless steel transform into dice, cufflinks, wrenches and a mini photo frame. We think they’re perfect for busy people on the go, a nice gift for someone at the office, and a must-have for a night out. What do you think?
We’ve got a set of these new wallet tools to give to a great blogger. Let us know if you’d like to be the one to review these fun gifts and share them with your readers!

Ever wanted to own a classic car? We sure have, so we set out to find a way to give you a piece of the most iconic classic cars, without having to break your bank. Here’s the story behind our vintage Mustang and Thunderbird key rings.
We decided upon two favorite vintage autos: the first generation Ford Mustang (1964-1973) and the third generation Ford Thunderbird (1961 – 1963).
