3 Reasons Why You Should Buy Functional Gifts

Let’s admit it. Everyone is trying to stretch their dollar now a days. So when shopping for gifts, we want to make sure we choose something affordable yet still personal and of good quality. A new trend has been developing some time now and more and more people are shopping for functional multipurpose gifts. Why you ask? Well, here’s why:

1. Financially Smart: You can buy a bouquet of flowers for a friend, but the flowers will die. You can buy a quirky funny item for a family member, but after a while it will end up in the trash or garage sale. Don’t waste your money on gifts that don’t last. It’s economically savvy to purchase a gift that you know will be put to good use. A great example of this is a Finders Key Purse key finder.

2. Unique Gift: When you don’t know what to gift a loved one, always go for the functional gift. It’s different and undoubtedly beats a plain gift card. For example, if someone you know loves to travel, you can give them a Seychelle Filter Straw. Functional gifts can really be unique and personal.

3. Useful Gift: Well, a functional gift is exactly that- useful! Find out what your person needs and build your gift around that. The beauty of a functional gift is that it’s something that person will use over and over again. Practical gifts often are the best gifts. For example, if you know someone is afflicted by hot flashes, you can gift them a FANtastic Pop-Up Fan. When you need a cool breeze to bring down your temperature, the fan is not only stylish but also very effective. Who said functional gifts can’t also be pretty!

In the end you really can’t go wrong with practical gifts. Because these type of gifts serve a purpose, people enjoy them more. Whatever you do, don’t forget to have fun shopping and remember to add your own personal twist to your gift!

SassaB Linkable Charms! New hair accessory!

Our newest gift item at Isn’t This Clever is the SassaB Linkable Charms hair accessory. It is one the coolest hair products we’ve seen in a while. You can design your own accessory and change it around whenever you like. Pretty neat right?!

We love to share mom-inventor success stories so here are a few questions Tracy Sanders, the inventor of the SassaB Linkable Charms, answered herself:

How did you come up with the idea for SassaB charms and the name for it?

One day my daughter, Brooke, was looking for something to wear in her hair for picture day at school. She was tired of the same old bows, barrettes and pony tail holders she had in her drawer. I went into my room, picked out a cute charm from my own bracelet, slid it on a bobby pin and put it in her hair. She looked in the mirror and said, “I love it! I ‘m going to wear it to school and start a trend and trade them with friends! As soon as I heard the words, “start a trend”, I saw an opportunity to create a fashionable, fun hair accessory and immediately went to work.

I always wanted to start my own business and I knew this was it! Our kids call my mom “Sassy” instead of Grandma. Sassy and Brooke are always talking about one day opening a restaurant called “Sassy and the B”. So the name SassaB was born from there and it feels catchy, so it stuck!

What makes SassaB so unique?

SassaB’s custom molded link is what sets them apart from other charms on the market (hopefully soon to be patented). Our design makes them easily interchangeable and versatile enough to be used in many different ways.

By the way, they’re not just for girls! …Or even, dare I say, kids…The possibilities are endless:

  • In your hair
  • As a custom necklace, bracelet or anklet
  • On a backpack, book or sports bag
  • On a lunch box
  • On shoelaces
  • On a doggy or kitty collar

Our motto is: CREATE YOUR OWN STYLE!

How do you incorporate your daughter into the family business nowadays?

Brooke is, and will continue to be an important part of SassaB LLC. She’s my “go to” girl when design questions come up. After all, if it wasn’t for her fashion dilemma and vision of “starting a trend”, SassaB  wouldn’t be!  It feels really good to have the whole family involved on this exciting journey!

And there you have it ladies and gentlemen…the story behind the creation of the innovative, stylish, and clever SassaB Linkable Charms! We think they are super cute and we hope you like them too.
