Affordable LED’s Take-Out Sign

Liam Lewis

— Contributed by Paige Smith-Vasquez My husband and I own a small food business that offers Filipino food. The business was great, but the pandemic happened. I didn’t want to close the restaurant for good, so my husband and I decided to temporarily stop accepting dine-in orders and just focus on take-out orders. We did announce this decision on our Facebook page, but people still kept coming hoping to dine in our restaurant. I knew we had to get a take-out sign. I made one using a piece of cardboard and Sharpie, but it had a short life when it … Continue reading Affordable LED’s Take-Out Sign

Why I Love CheongKwanJang Red Ginseng Tea

Jeanie Ellis

— Contributed by Corey Matthews I love drinking tea, but most of all, I love it when my cup of tea offers several health benefits like the CheongKwanJang Red Ginseng Tea. I used to prefer Chai since it enhances the immune system and Oolong because it improves mental alertness. I still love them, but I now like to drink another type of tea —  Red Ginseng. I first learned about Red Ginseng and its dozen benefits after a trip to South Korea. We visited the Korea National Ginseng Museum, located at Jongno-gu in Seoul. I was amazed at all the … Continue reading Why I Love CheongKwanJang Red Ginseng Tea

Nile Corp Paper Gift Bags

Liam Lewis

— Contributed by Cher Garcia This pandemic was kind of a blessing to my business because I noticed the rise in sales since the shelter-in-place measures rolled out. I guess people have now become confident in shopping for jewelry online. With the rise in demand, I needed more paper gift bags for packing the jewelry. Nile Corp is my supplier for jewelry display. I use the display for product shots and not for a window display since I only operate online, and I’m quite impressed with them. They have it in burlap, velvet, and metal, which is my favorite. I … Continue reading Nile Corp Paper Gift Bags

Leveling up the Gaming Room with LED Lighting

Liam Lewis

— Contributed by Matt Brown Because of the pandemic and the stay-at-home measures, I had a lot of time to play video games and redecorate our gaming room. The plan was to add some LED lighting and a scrolling LED sign for a futuristic feel. Good thing Affordable LED was open for business during the quarantine.  I only needed a small indoor-type one, so I purchased the 2×14 single line sign, the smallest one on the website. It was on sale too, lucky me! The S-Series indoor sign was the perfect size, and I installed it on the wall across … Continue reading Leveling up the Gaming Room with LED Lighting

Nile Corp’s Jewelry Box Packaging

Liam Lewis

— Contributed by Lucie Broussard This pandemic, in a way, has affected my business in a good way. I have been selling handcrafted jewelry online for a couple of years now, and I can say that my humble store has already been established. I have regular customers, but when the stay-at-home rule was implemented, I have noticed the sudden rise in sales. People now prefer shopping online rather than going to the mall. With the rising demand, I needed more jewelry boxes for packaging. Nile Corp is already my go-to store when I need a new necklace display for my … Continue reading Nile Corp’s Jewelry Box Packaging

Secret Jardin Dark Propagator: The Grow Tent for Small Spaces

Liam Lewis

— Contributed by Rich Miller Even before the stay-at-home measures, I’ve already been planting small herbs and vegetables in my apartment as a hobby, and because I love to use fresh herbs and veggies for cooking. So when the city went on lockdown, I had more time to focus on my babies. I wasn’t using any grow tent, but my next-door neighbor, who was also growing plants, suggested that I use one for better harvests. He recommended the Dark Propagator from Secret Jardin in particular. The Secret Jardin Dark Propagator from Champion LED was absolutely perfect. It is compact, and … Continue reading Secret Jardin Dark Propagator: The Grow Tent for Small Spaces

The Best Wooden Display Shelves for the Small-Time Collector

Liam Lewis

— Contributed by Maya Green I collect little vintage toys, particularly ones from McDonald’s Happy Meals. I don’t plan to collect them all, just the ones from my favorite 90s toys and movies like Cabbage Patch Kids and 101 Dalmatians. I have about 200 in my collection right now, and they are all just hanging out in an old plastic box along with my other toys. Because I’ve got a lot of time in my hands at the moment, I decided to display them all up. I needed a sturdy shelf for them that I can easily mount up the … Continue reading The Best Wooden Display Shelves for the Small-Time Collector

Champion LED Saved My Indoor Garden

Liam Lewis

— Contributed by Sienna Adams I am not a professional chef, but I absolutely love cooking. I’ve learned recipes from my grandma, and she says that she learned them from her grandmother too. There is no doubt there that the recipes she taught me are authentically Italian. So yes, I have lots of herbs for cooking at home.   But they aren’t in little jars. My herbs are fresh, and I’m proud to say that I grew them myself. I am also not a professional gardener or whatever, but I think I have just the skills to grow indoor plants. During … Continue reading Champion LED Saved My Indoor Garden

How a LED Sign Helped My Shop Get Discovered by Tourists

Liam Lewis

— Contributed by Jefferey Harris I own a small antique shop in a not-so-busy street in a small town.  Our area is near some tourist spots, but only a handful of tourists get to wander to the store. I do have some regular customers, and business was good. But it would have been better if I get to offer my products to these tourists too. My brother-in-law, who co-owns the store, recommended that we get an outdoor LED sign. I hesitated at first because a LED sign looked so modern, but then after some thinking, I came to a decision … Continue reading How a LED Sign Helped My Shop Get Discovered by Tourists

Gila Tools’ Diamond Blades are High Quality

Liam Lewis

— Contributed by Dan Rodriguez As a hobby, I like to make home improvement projects. I’ve been cutting concrete, stone, wood, and tiles using my reliable cutter machine. So imagine just how many diamond blades have come and gone in my garage. Recently, I was shopping online for a T-segment blade for a granite table project. I saw the T-Segment Contour Diamond Blade at the Gila Tools website, and I was a bit surprised at the cheap price. My first impression was it could be a cheap, low-quality blade, but because the affordable price appealed so much to me, I … Continue reading Gila Tools’ Diamond Blades are High Quality
