It’s down to the wire for Christmas shopping! For last-minute gifts, stocking stuffers can come in clutch. In my experience, stocking stuffers can be thoughtful surprises, useful knick-knacks or goofy oddities and gags. You’ll find all of those and more on this list of stocking stuffers for men, women and kids too!

Listen, trick or treating is hard work. It takes a strong, determined kid to carry buckets of candy from house to house. As the night goes on, this task becomes more challenging as the collection of candy grows bigger and heavier.

This is why I’ve put together a list of the most promising trick or treat buckets so you can be prepared for the big night!

A new handbag for yourself or a loved one is the perfect gift! Everyone has stuff and these are beautiful, fancy stuff-holders! I've chosen mostly designer bags with mid-tier price tags so you'll end up with a bag that's well-made, lasts and won't break the bank! Let's get started!

I don't know about you, but I am tired of Summer. I'm over it. I'm ready for comfy sweaters, pumpkin patches and crunchy leaves. So I've assembled a nice little collection of my favorite fall fashion items I found on Amazon. Most everything goes up to a size XXL as well!

At a time when we've seen larger retailers in the our area close (Toys R Us, Younkers and Moline's Best Buy) we're glad to see more stores open in the Quad Cities.

Ourquadcities.com is reporting that the Younkers in Davenport's North Park Mall will be closing.

I've enjoyed sampling and buying local cheese, baked goods and local fare at the QC Food Hub in downtown Davenport. Sometimes I could barely make my way through the booths and table displays because it was jammed with other shoppers like me...
