CoolCanucks Blog Contest ~ Blacksocks.com Review & Giveaway!!CLOSED
Sunday, February 28th, 2010
There are few things less desirable than sock shopping for my husband. That is why I found the Blacksocks.com Sockscription to be such a fabulous idea. For an annual subscription fee of $89, “sockscribers” receive 3 pairs of socks every 4 months…so 9 pairs a year. Shipping is included, so it works out to be around $10 per pair. The socks are very soft and are made in Northern Italy from high quality, durable yarn. Even the most particular guy would find these to be great socks. They come in different heights and fabrics depending on his taste. The only detriment is they only come in black. But, for socks delivered automatically to your doorstep all year long, it’s totally worth it!
Choose your sock style:
•Calf Socks (most popular)
•Business Light Trouser Socks
•Knee Socks
•Cashmere Silk Socks
•Athletic Socks (short)
•Ski socks
“BLACKSOCKS are manufactured near Milan in Northern Italy, the fashion capital of the world. The factory is run by a second-generation family of sock artisans, who pay particular attention to the intricate details it takes to produce high-end, high-quality products. Our black socks are made from a blend of the finest Peruvian Pima cotton — considered the silk of South America — Lycra and polyamide fabric to reinforce the toe and heel.
All Natural, Hypoallergenic: Our men’s dress socks and everyday socks are certified by the Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, an international testing service that ensures that products are ecologically sound, use no harmful substances, are hypoallergenic and are suitable for sensitive skin. Our entire product line has been scientifically evaluated under this standard.
Comfortable: Over 40,000 discerning Europeans turn to Blacksocks each year to regularly purchase their socks. They know the socks are comfortable to the feet and will not fray or wear out quickly. Even with repeated washings, our socks maintain their high quality and wearability.
Soft and durable: These crew socks are soft to the skin and made to last. During the manufacturing process, they are randomly tested and washed 20 times to ensure long lasting wear.”
Blacksocks.com not only carries an extensive line of socks, but they also sell men’s underwear and t-shirts as well!
Hubby was overwhelmed with the feel of the best selling Calf-socks that he was sent to review! They are made of high quality and he says they felt so great on while wearing!

CoolCanucks Review of Novica.com!
Sunday, February 28th, 2010
Novica is one of the leading fair trade artisan websites. Novica works with National Geographic to give talented artisans around the world a place to express their artistic talents and provide access to the world market.
Novica, in association with National Geographic, sells products — home decor, jewelry, apparel, gifts and more — made by artisans from Asia, Africa and Latin America. Artists post their work on the Novica site for free; Novica allows them to set their own prices. The company makes money when a piece sells, and goods ship directly from the country of origin.
The online company gives you the opportunity to learn about the artists lives, explore fascinating cultures, and browse more than 30,000 unique gifts including green gifts, Gifts for her, apparel, home decor, beautiful handmade jewelry, Turquoise Jewelry, Silver Necklaces, Unique Gifts, carved wood furniture, gifts for mom, and soooooooooo much more!
Novica was designed specifically to give artisan’s a chance to sell their designs. This is such a great site. I was thoroughly impressed with the designs that they offer! They offer anything from silver jewelry to home decor that are handmade. They also offer gorgeous necklaces! These artisans are truly gifted!
Each of the artists have a bio that you can view to get an inside glance at the person from whom you are purchasing from.
“We want to give artists and artisans around the world a global platform to express their true artistic talents and to spur their creativity. And, we want to provide you with access to unique, hard-to-find items at great values that only the Internet infrastructure can allow.
At the deepest essence of our philosophy, we want to create a bridge between you and the many talented artisans across the globe.
We want you to know about who you’re buying from. We want you to feel that attachment to the product and to the hands that created it.”
Everything that Novica.com sells is completely gorgeous and made of high quality.
I was sent two really gorgeous unique hangbags to review, and absolutely love them both!
Their delivery time as well as their customer service skills are also beyond outstanding!!
“Mighty and regal, elephants celebrate Thailand’s artistic heritage in a design by Jiap Rojjana. The brocade adorns a cotton shoulder bag trimmed with rain tree wood and a coconut shell button. The lined interior features a practical pocket.”
“Embroidered in precise patterns, hill tribe motifs form colorful stars. Anchalika Chamnan works with locally grown or prepared materials to craft this chic shoulder bag. The cotton motifs are applied to hemp, while longan wood hoops attach the straps.”
I give this company a huge thumbs up, and recommend them to everyone!!
I want to thank Novica.com for letting me be part of their review!!

CoolCanucks Blog Contest ~ Chocomize Review & Giveaway!!CLOSED
Saturday, February 27th, 2010
Welcome to my dream world, a world filled with creamy luscious mouth-watering chocolate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!
Let me have the pleasure of introducing you to Chocomize, where all of the scrumptious custom chocolate just can’t taste any better!!
Imagine the best piece of chocolate you have ever had. Now try and imagine if you could take your favorite chocolate (dark, milk or white) and add any ingredients you want to it to make it the “perfect” chocolate bar for you? What would your chocolate bar include?
Well Chocomize makes your dreams a reality, because you can do just that! You can choose any type of chocolate your fantasy mind desires, add any type of ingredient, and voila! Chocomize will make you your dream chocolate bar and send it right to your home!!
You can choose exactly what you would like to add to your chocolate bar, or pre-order their hot best sellers listed directly from their site at extremely low unbeatable prices!
Chocomize allows you to create your perfect chocolate bar using a large assortment of fruits, nuts, herbs, candies and other miscellaneous goodies!!
Looking for the perfect chocolate bar to be used as Wedding Favors? Chocomize is an expert!! How about Chocolate Corporate Gifts? What an excellent idea! Chocomize can specially design them for you as well! The ideas are endless at Chocomize!!!
You can even give a Chocomize chocolate bar as a birthday gift. One of the ingredient options is a sugar candle holder that you can insert a candle into and sing “Happy Birthday” to the lucky recipient. What a unique and wonderful idea!!
Creating a “Chocomized” chocolate bar is super easy. You first need to select the base chocolate (dark, milk or white). Then you add up to five different ingredients from all the available options. Each option shows it’s individual price so you can keep track of the overall cost of your Chocomize chocolate bar in case you are working with a budget. You can create a chocolate bar for just over $5.00 (plus shipping) upward to around $15.00 if you opt to use the most expensive ingredients like the gold flakes. Ingredients range in price from .25 cents to $3.95 with most ingredients in the .25 — .75 range.
Chocomize let me review two of my own chocolate bars! I first chose the dreamy milk-chocolate, and my first one included macadamia nuts (YUM)! The second one I wanted to try was their ever popular chocolate bar called “That’s Nuts” which includes Dark Chocolate, Pecan Halves, Walnuts, Butter Toasted Peanuts, and Hazelnuts! And wow — both chocolate bars were extremely tantilizing to the taste buds!!
Overall I am very impressed. The chocolate was fresh tasting since each chocolate bar is made fresh for each order. They didn’t “skimp” on the ingredients. The chocolate had more than enough extra goodies. I am also pleased with the large size of the chocolate bar!
The company was quick to ship and even included the ingredients on each bar as well as the nutrition facts.
I can honestly say I am now a huge fan of Chocomize. I know I will be ordering from them in the future. With Easter coming I know that a Chocomize bar would make a great gift or goodie tucked into an Easter basket!!
Win it!!
The extremely kind and generous folks over at Chocomize has offered to give one lucky CoolCanucks reader the chance to win a $25 E-certificate from their online website!! AWESOME!!
Also, if you would like to purchase anything from Chocomize, they have also set us up a coupon code! Simply use code ‘coolcanuck’ in the coupon section of the checkout to save $5.00 off of your order!!
