When you are in college and living in a dorm usually you are living on a ramen noodle, pizza, and beer diet and off of Mommy and Daddy… So sprucing up your space needs to come at a reasonable price tag! That is why the brainiacs here at Cheaper Than A Shrink have put together a list of things all college kids should have. They are funny, practical, and unique, so check it out.

First up for the guys we introduce the amazing Female Breasts Ice Luge Mold. Some dudes in college never get to see or touch the real thing so this boob-a-licious mold is perfect for frat parties and when the nerds get together.. Whether you are handy or not, it’s pretty easy to make as long as you follow the instructions. Takes 2 days to make so order it in time. A great bonus is because of the way these are designed you don’t have to prop them up on an angle so there is no worry of it sliding off the table. Is there anything more fun than taking a shot of your favorite liquor out of your favorite woman’s body part?!

Next up, for the ladies we have the hilarious Queen of Fucking Everything Coffee Mug … Well at least for all the chicks that happen to think they are anyway. This is a great gift for that bitchy friend, self important girlfriend, or your ungrateful daughter… Or just like nice girls too. Wake up in the morning like a boss while you sip on your coffee from you favorite and fitting mug.

Ladies, never forget to always wear your invisible crown!

This next product is just freaking funny… It will be even more hilarious when your buddies are over and you have had a few drinks because The No Diving Bath Mat will remind your idiot friends to not do anything stupid, like dive headfirst into a bath tub. Hey some people need life instructions, no matter how obvious the situation seems to most. All jokes aside you need a bathmat so you don’t slip and break you ass, or worse your head. So unless you want to opt for the rubber ducky mat or let your girlfriend bring over a pink one, hook yourself up with the coolest bath mat ever made, this one.

In College Ain’t nobody got time to not have this awesome shirt! The Ain’t Nobody Got Time For That T-Shirt made famous by Sweet Brown’s viral video, the phenomenon has began and we love it! If it would be socially acceptable to have this quote tattooed on my face, it would be there… So the best we can do is wear this shirt proudly and remind everyone before they even ask to help them do something stupid, or remind your professor when they ask why you didn’t turn in your paper, or respond with no words to your boyfriend when he asked why you didn’t call him back last night.. The possibilities and fun are really endless.

And last because this is getting kind of long and I know you kids do not like to read I will get right to it. The 0.0 I Don’t Run Sticker is the best way to mock all those bragging braggers who think we care that they ran a marathon or 5K… Make it be known that you are only running to the door when the pizza guy arrives or on a beer run when you run out.

Help make college years the best time of your life with these cool things to buy!

All About The Kiddies

CTAS Staff — Mon, 03 Jun 2013 21:14:51 +0000

The kids, our babies, the little monkeys in our life’s matter so much. We are always thinking about them, making sure they are protected, happy, and have what they need, and at times it is fun to splurge on them and buy them a little something that they may not necessarily need, but something that will put a smile on not only their face, but yours too.

They make us laugh, cry, beam with pride, and cringe with embarrassment… They love you as children, then you are no longer cool when they turn into teenagers, but once they enter adult hood they realize you were always right!

Below are some Cool Things To Buy the little ones!

I absolutely love this , there seems to be a trend with kids and facial hair lately. Its like the new zombie craze… Facial hair is so in right now, even if you are two and in diapers. If you live in a cold climate, like not Miami, then having The Beard Hat for Kids is not only practical, it is hilarious and fun!

For the younger tykes, facial hair is still possible with the Stachifier. Again practical and hilarious. Who doesn’t love a kid… but who doesn’t love a kid with a facial hair? That is the real question…

Feeding the little ones can be a chore… Kids can be so picky and some just flat out do not like to eat no matter what you are serving. So these two sets are sure to bring a little fun to meal time!

The Landscape Dinner Set is not only adorbs, but it also teaches your little one hand eye coordination and puzzles are always good for brain training.. I love the colors and cutouts and your kids will too. Meals are 50% presentation, so spice it up and make meal time delicious, educational, and pleasing to the eye. Kids are very visual and who ever set you can’t play with your food?

The Spreddy Bear Sandwich Plate may be a little less educational but just as cute, if not cuter… Look at that face! You can use this plate for more than just peanut butter and jelly. Just get creative. chicken nuggets with dipping sauce in the ears would be a fun option as well.

So spoil them once in a while with some cool stuff, they grow up so fast and are only this young and cute once…

Cool Things To Buy for Father’s Day

CTAS Staff — Tue, 28 May 2013 17:45:21 +0000

Fathers Day is June 16th and we are here to help you find the coolest things to buy that awesome guy in your life who has done so much for you and the one who will continue to be there no matter what! But Father’s Day is not just about Dad. It is the day to celebrate Husbands, Boyfriends, Uncles, Brothers, and friends who happen to be amazing daddies.

A dad is someone who wants to catch you before you fall but instead picks you up, brushes you off, and lets you try again. He is the one who hates to watch you make mistakes but knows he has to let you find your own way, even though his heart breaks in silence when you get hurt. He holds you when you are sad, lectures you when you do wrong, beams with pride when you succeed, and believes in you even when you fail… That’s what being a Dad means and if you know even one great man who fits this description, you are a lucky person!

I wanted share a few cool things to buy these wonderful men, so below are my favorite picks separated in categories… Check out the photo gallery below to view these perfect gift ideas.

Joke Gifts:

Electric Shock Lie Detector is a funny gift for Dad that will remind him of all the headaches and little white lies he always detected when you tried to tell them with a straight face as a young one…The lie detector emits a harmless shock when you are not being truthful, it is a fun and joke gift because we all know we would NEVER lie to our fathers and husbands, except when it comes to how much money we spend shopping… (shhh)

Food Scented Air Fresheners are a great little gift for those on a budget… Men love food and these air fresheners will not disappoint. With scents like bacon, cherry pie, cupcake and more, your dad will think about you every-time his stomach growls in his car.

Relaxation Gifts:

Wireless Floating Sound System is a floating speaker for dad to throw in the pool when he is relaxing on the weekends or for a late night swim once the snot faces are in bed and sleeping with the angels. Dad works hard to take care of the family and makes sure you have everything you need and sometimes almost everything you want, so show that hard working man that he deserves to relax with his favorite jams playing.

Cast Iron Cigar Ashtray Hand is one of my favorite, super cool things to buy men! It is so useful for many different ways such as relaxing on the porch with a cigar or keeping on his dresser for change, keys, wallet and more. It’s an ashtray for the smokers or a classy catchall for the non-smokers. I guarantee men of any age will really appreciate this gift and love that you didn’t opt for another tie or a candle Trust me, I have made that mistake before. Men don’t love candles.

Knock Back A Few Gifts:

Jager Bomb Shot Glasses Set is a wonderful option for the younger daddies in your life. I am not aware of many mature fathers out there who are still downing Jager Bombs, but hey, whatever floats your boat… Maybe consider this gift for a friend or brother, you also get to personalize with an initial on each glass. Usually these shots are downed at a sports bar by dropping a shot glass in a beer glass and chugging like a frat boy in college. These very unique and gentleman like Jager Bomb shot glasses bring a little class to the act.

Mustache Corkscrew again is a wonderful option for a ramen noodle college student budget… Most men love to relax with his lady with a great glass of wine. But let that man feel like one while popping bottles with a hilarious and masculine stash corkscrew. He will get a good laugh every-time he uses it and will always think of you and your silly sense of humor.

Funny Gifts:

How To Live With a Huge Penis Book Now, this goes without saying but PLEASE recognize that this would not be a traditional Father’s Day gift to your actual father… This book is a great gift for your husband to thank him for his role in your kiddies, or your boyfriend to show him you not only love his kids, you also appreciate him and his family jewels..

Gallon Size Stainless Steel Flask is a funny gag gift that can come in handy if your dad, man, brother etc. needs a lot of liquor for a pre-game… as long as he plans on sharing that is. This gallon flask is funny and will bring a smile to any mans face who enjoys a drink here and there.

Honorable Mention!

Dads Are the Original Hipsters Book I know it is hard to imagine, but Dad was super cool in his day… Bring some nostalgia and humor to his life by reminding him that he was in fact the original hipster and not just a poser like most are today!

Whether you make dad a macaroni picture or choose one of our awesome gifts, the important part of the day is showing him how special he is to you!

Happy Daddy Day to all those who deserve it!

This very unique and personalized Mortuary Calendar was created by a former mortician turned photographer who had an extensive collection of embalming equipment that she enjoyed photographing. Using her own personal collection of antique and vintage embalming equipment, she was able to create a calendar for 2014 that focuses on the mortuary sciences.

Gazelle Review

CTAS Staff — Wed, 15 May 2013 18:17:54 +0000

It is just a fact that we as consumers, living in a technology filled age, want the best and fastest cell phone, tablets, and computers… Being that a new and better model is being introduced every other day it seems, those of us who constantly feel the need to upgrade to stay current can be left with a drawer full of backups.

Most of the time when we go from an iPhone 4 to the 5, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the 4 other than the fact that it is not the newest on the market. So with Gazelle, you can cash in the old phone towards buying the new one that you honestly don’t really need, but just really want. The best part is the fact that you can sell the old one easily, and for a pretty sweet price, upgrading does not feel so unnecessary after all.

Gazelle is unique among the competitor companies looking to purchase your used smartphones, tablets, and laptops. You just visit Gazelle’s website, select the model you want to sell, and answer a few questions about its condition. Based on that, the site offers an estimated purchase price. If the price is acceptable to you, Gazelle ships a box and pre-paid shipping label to you to return the device in.

1. Get a free offer: Simply find your gadget and answer a few easy questions

2. Ship it to Gazelle: It’s free for items worth $1 or more. We’ll check out your gadget as soon as we receive it.

3. Get paid fast: Choose from check, Amazon gift card or PayPal

Once Gazelle has your device, it assesses it and emails a purchase offer. Sellers can either accept or reject the offer. If the offer is rejected, Gazelle returns the device. If it is accepted, Gazelle provides payment by check, PayPal, or Amazon gift card based on the seller’s preference.

If a device is still working and potentially useful, I’d rather get it into the hands of someone who will continue to use it, and why deal with the hassles and risks of selling via Craigslist or eBay when you can be sure you are getting a fair price with three simple steps using Gazelle…

Outcome

Fair prices
Sometimes pays more than expected
Fairly simple selling process

Next time you need to upgrade, sell to Gazelle with confidence!

Cool Things For Mothers Day

CTAS Staff — Wed, 01 May 2013 20:52:31 +0000

Mother’s Day is around the corner but there is still time to get her something amazing, so if your mom is anything like mine than she too loves girly things… You’re in luck because I have found some meaningful and peaceful selections of really cool, beautiful, and unique items that Mom will love, while she wonders how you found something so fitting to her personality! Win-Win…. Although she can drive us crazy at times, Mom usually knows what she is talking about and as we get older we learn that she was right 99.9% of time, even when we thought she was nuts. So show her how much you appreciate her with a nice gift that comes from the heart.

In honor of moms all over, I offer my favorite options for that special lady in your life that we still call Mommy, the best part is all these beautiful gifts are under $25.00

Remind Mom that she is your sunshine with The Solar powered LED Sun Jar. It will create a beautiful glowing ambiance to whatever room or space she places it. It is really cool how this jar gives you the illusion of capturing sunlight in a jar? Sounds nice, right? Captured inside the Sun Jar are highly efficient solar cells, a rechargeable battery and low energy LED lamps. This energy is then used at night to power the three LED lamps inside the jar. The light is diffused by the frosted jar and gives the appearance of sunlight emitting from within. The mason jar comes equipped with a clever light sensor inside that automatically activates the lights so she can enjoy the beautiful ambient glow during bath time, reading on the porch, or can double as a candle for romantic nights with Dad…

It is just a fact that all women love flowers, I have about three vases spread around my place as we speak and would have more if I had the room. Flowers are beautiful, smell good, and bring a little outdoors in. Mom will love this Whimsical Tea Cup Vase that reminds me so much of Alice in Wonderland. The topsy turvy design makes it just as unique as the relationship between you and the lovely lady who brought you into this world.

A good idea would be to bring it over on Mothers Day filled with her favorite flowers, a basket of some delicious tea or wine, and cheese and crackers. Then have a nice picnic with Mom while you reminisce about all the good times you have had and why she is the best.

Last we have the Beautiful Mug-Tails, one of our very popular items with the ladies. These Mug Tails double as a tea light candle holder or a favorite coffee/tea cup. These porcelain mugs feature adorable animal details using the tail as the handle. They are delicate looking yet durable and very pretty… Just like Mom!

These mugs truly are beautiful and so serene when lit in a dimmed room. Mom lives a stress filled life, especially dealing with us children, even as adults the job of being a mother never ends… That is why I picked items that would bring peace and ambiance to her hectic life!

Happy Mother’s Day to all you wonderful ladies out there. I hope you feel all the love you deserve on this day and everyday.

We would like to send a special thanks to Nerd Wallet for allowing us to participate in their Mother’s Day Your Way Blog Contest!

Want More Social Media Fans!?

Cheaper Than A Shrink — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 23:35:40 +0000

I recently met someone at a networking event that is a social media promoter. In a nutshell, he helps businesses and others that own personal pages attain a larger audience. For example, he can provide Facebook fans, likes and shares, Twitter followers, Pinterest re-pins and followers, Instagram followers, StumbleUpon followers and YouTube likes, views and subscribers. This is a great way to kick start a new business, increase your reach and promote an product, event, etc. He has agreed to provide 100 FREE followers, fans, views, likes,etc (depending on which social network you are referring to) to anyone that emails him and mentions Cheaper Than A Shrink with the purchase of any package.

His prices are dirt cheap! I sent a friend to him who got 200 real Facebook fans for only $5! He can also target the followers by country. For example, if you only want people from Canada, he can do so. I believe he can also get you traffic to your website as well. Ask him about it.

If this appeals to any of you, you can email him here. His name is Marcos. Thought I would share this with you guys…
