ABOUT
This is a kid's happiest place on earth (although my kids have been known to say Ikea also rates highly). My happy place is with some great company, alot of margaritas and my to do list crossed off.
For awhile there I lived in my own fairytale land believing that the Internet and the world of online everything would shred that endless list of things that I had to buy like a black belt samurai shopping warrior.
My experience however has been less shredding and more shedding tears of frustration as hours have been spent wading online through pages of backpacks, lunchboxes, kid's birthday presents, fathers day gifts, summer camp necessities, school stationery supplies, gloves for skiing, hats for summer...
All without that sense of satisfaction of a job done well and fast.
And so I created Cross Them Off.
Cross Them Off searches the Internet to bring you the best there is to offer for all those things you need to buy without it buying into the time you need and deserve for yourself. Think of it as a personal shopper for all the persons you have to shop for.
As for me, I have worked in marketing for 20 years in kidswear, womenswear, menswear, underwear, skincare, haircare and cosmetics. I have lived in England, France and Australia and now call the USA home. I am an Aussie married to a French/English guy and my kids are totally confused what nationality they are.
After living in so many countries and working with so many different brands and retailers, friends started asking me for all sorts of shopping recommendations (my personal all time favourite was trash cans) and so Cross Them Off was born.
My biggest hope is that it helps get stuff off your list and gets you more time doing what you love.
