Gifts for the Commuter
Posted by Larimer Associates on 11:08 AM
Do you know somebody that commutes far distances to work everyday?
Making that commute easier could be the best present they could ever ask
for. Here are some great presents for the person that sits in rush
hour traffic most of their mornings and evenings.1. Noise
Silencing Earbuds: Not only to keep yourself entertained, but to drown
out the unavoidable noises around you. These are great because the ear
buds work like ear plugs, and they even come with an app to use with
your smart phone that further silences noises. Etymotic hf5 earphones, $149.2.
Thermos: Coffee is key to being awake by the time I get to work. I've
tried several travel mugs, and this one is hands down the best at
keeping beverages piping hot for the winter and icy cold in the summer. Klean Kanteen Insulated,...

Cheap Halloween Costumes!
Posted by Larimer Associates on 11:47 AM
Do your kids want costumes that are over $100 without the accesories. Here is a great story about a mom who took that $80 dollar costume and made the same thing for a lot cheaper.
It’s a down economy and a presidential election year—could there
possibly be a MORE appropriate 2012 Halloween costume than a homemade
Statue of Liberty designed for 5 bucks? I doubt it. (Hello, Humility? I’m sorry, she’s out to lunch.)
Last year my daughter came across a very nice Statue of Liberty
costume in a catalog, but with torch, robe and crown, it came to about
$80. While I was pleased about her costume choice considering the

A New Way to See Colorado
Posted by Larimer Associates on 8:31 AM
Many vacationers have had the pleasure of ziplining through the rainforest in the south. However, ziplining is also beautiful in the Colorado Mountains. Breathtaking landscapes, wildlife, and beautiful vegetation make Colorado one of the best ziplining spots in the United States.
If Tarzan swung from tree to tree across
Colorado right now, he might complain that it's tough to get very far
without tripping over a zipline.
In fact, helping folks fly
through the air with the greatest of ease appears to be the goal all
over the state as ski resorts, lodging properties, outfitters and
seemingly anyone with space to spare angles...
