With Mothers Day fast approaching, families (dads, kids primarily) are rushing around trying to find the ULTIMATE MOTHERS DAY GIFT for the women in their lives
Maybe, they’re trying just a little bit too hard. Maybe, the best mother’s day gift is something that’s right in front of their noses.

Presenting, today’s obligatory PI DAY posting.
Today is March 14th, or 3.14 (“pi”, if you haven’t already figured this out).
Catch up on all your PI DAY-related posts here on Web Watch:
Remember when you were growing up and you played with your “invisible friend”?
Guess what, Web Watch readers? Some of you haven’t bothered to grow out of that phase of your lives.

Did you know that Japan doesn’t celebrate Valentine’s Day?
Web Watch was shocked to hear this, just as you were we can imagine. Despite all the marketing that Hallmark and other greeting card companies have done thus far, could you believe that Japan has withstood that barrage of marketing and decided to do their own thing instead?
Continue reading JAPAN DOESN’T JUST CELEBRATE VALENTINE’S DAY. HERE’S WHAT THEY DO INSTEAD…
Web Watch loves to participate in any gift-receiving holiday. Christmas, Easter, Hanukah, Arbor Day – you name it, if we’re pretty much guaranteed of getting a gift, we’ll embrace whatever holiday traditions we need to.
Yeah, getting too much stuff is never boring. And as we’ve said previously, we had all our holiday shopping done in just a few hours, but we may have missed getting the Ultimate Christmas Gift for those we were handing out presents to.
Of course, if you followed the OFFICIAL WHITE ELEPHANT GIFT EXCHANGE RULES, then you know that sometimes you may be the one who brought The Most Coveted Gift Of The Year, or have been left with a zonk.

WHAT DO MEN WANT FOR CHRISTMAS?
It’s a commonly-asked question. If you believe retailers, all men want during major gift-giving season are the following:
These are the types of things that get stacked up in the Men’s departments of various stores, and women are expected to buy these crappy-plastic items in the hopes of pleasing their needy, child-minded partners.
Have you purchased your Thanksgiving turkey yet?
In case you haven’t, here’s a helpful tip: THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FRESH AND FROZEN TURKEY is negligible. Some people would say that Fresh is always better… but if you’re one of those, you’ll need to keep in mind that a FRESH turkey must be cooked within 2 days of being purchased, according to the USDA’s guidelines on food safety. A frozen turkey make take days to thaw properly (figure about 1 day for every 4-5 pounds) — so if you were to start your frozen turkey thaw now, you should be good to go for the Thanksgiving holiday.
As for those who thought they’d go out and have already purchased their fresh, unfrozen turkey — they may want to be sure to keep that thing on ice for another day or two before beginning the brining process. Don’t want to give your Thanksgiving guests any food poisoning, do you?
Of all of the holidays in a year, Thanksgiving is typically the most stressful.
It’s a holiday where families are forced to be together. Forced to travel in crowded conditions. Forced to eat the same traditional dinner every year. Forced to rush out that night to get in line for those desired Doorbuster purchases.

Bosses: are you looking for what type of corporate holiday gifts you should be handing out to your employees at the end of the year?
It can be tough to choose – many organizations have extremely strict limits on how much of monetary value an individual can receive as a gift. Web Watch knows of one company that gave each employee a $50 gift card last year… along with the appropriate paperwork so the proper taxable amount was reported to the IRS.
Yup, it was the classic “here’s a gift, and don’t forget to pay taxes on it” scam that’s all the rage these days. Continue reading MOST POPULAR HOLIDAY GIFTS FOR EMPLOYEES
What would you do to live rent-free? What would you put up with?
And we’re not even talking about moving back in with your parents.
Web Watch loves – and hates – haunted house attractions.
We love the concept, we love the designs. We love the insane creativity that goes on in putting on a successful Haunted House year after year.
But we wouldn’t be caught dead going to one as a guest. We don’t find running through a scare zone all that much fun.
We know, we’re in the minority on this, as Haunted Houses are multi-million dollar businesses these days.
By now, Web Watch is sure you’ve seen the trainwreck of a reality TV show on TLC, HERE COMES HONEY BOO BOO.
We thought it would be a perfect time to tell you how to DRESS LIKE HONEY BOO BOO as the Perfect Halloween Costume for this year.

Hopefully by now, you’ve heard the story about Caine Monroy and the arcade he made in his dad’s shop, where all the games were made entirely out of cardboard.
No? It’s a phenomenal story. Here – watch this, then continue…
Ask pretty much anyone about their birthday, and we can be fairly certain that the person you’re asking will be able to tell you about any number of famous people who share birthdays on the same day.
“Harrison Ford!”
“Abraham Lincoln!”
“King Henry VIII!”
“Miley Cyrus!”
A lot of this will be printed in the paper, and the information doesn’t really change from year to year. Astrologers really have it easy, don’t they?

Web Watch knows it’s hot out there.
You’re hot. We’re hot. It’s walking on the sun, hot.
So what better way to cool off than to start planning your Christmas holiday light display?
