What's out there: Gotta Love Beer

Pilsner glass: Macy's is carrying the new line of Lolita's Gotta Love Beer pilsner glass collection. Like its martini glasses, these are hand-painted in a variety of humorous themes -- aimed toward guys with tailgate, ties, poker, golf, road trip and more. Each glass is 22 ounces, costs $24.99 and comes gift-boxed. Look for a variety of both pilsner and martini glasses on the lower level of Macy's at St. Clair Square in Fairview Heights.

Sears tote: In this day and age when nearly every retailer is jumping on the "green" bandwagon by offering reusable tote bags, Sears has gone one bigger: For 99 cents you can buy one of the regular-size bags in black with a big blue circle in the middle that says "Earth." Or, opt for the department- store, shopping-bag size for $1.49. Save on plastic and trees, but still have lots of room to hold your purchases. Look for both sizes near registers at Sears stores.

Cheap bear: Build-A-Bear Workshop at St. Clair Square now has a way for you to save some bucks while making that little boy or girl who has you in tow happy: The 14-inch Lil' Cub is just $10 and you can add a classic Workshop tee for $5. Choose from three fur shades of bears, and of course, you can add loads of extras (that will up the price).
