If you are so inclined to give an ex a bottle of wine, this just might be the label for you. I bought my first bottle of Fat Bastard wine (a delicious Cabernet) a few years ago merely for the label. I kept buying it for the taste. A really and truly great wine. Even better? They took part in Breast Cancer Awareness month this past October. from the site: As 2008 rolls into the autumn months of September and October, it is time again to show our support for Breast Cancer Awareness. Breast cancer is the second most common cause of cancer death in women in the United States, and for the sixth year in a row- FAT bastard aims to raise awareness and spread hope, by donating 25 cents for every bottle sold up to $75,000. This donation will be used to support breast cancer research, education and screening throughout the country- helping several cancer care organizations that offer a new hope to women and their families. During the donation period, FAT bastard wines will be easy to spot on the shelf wearing the special “Live Large, Spread Hope” necker with an attached enamel pink ribbon pin to wear in show of your support. This is a cause very close to my heart, so I encourage FAT bastard wine drinkers to support our awareness program and raise their glasses to help spread hope and work towards eradicating breast cancer forever! »

What else would an entirely woman-owned spirits company name its product? Also available in chocolate, vanilla and mint flavors, the brand donates 25 cents from each bottle to support breast cancer research and another 25 cents goes to the Emeril Lagasse Foundation. In that case, I'll sip to that. »

I LOVE Lush's suggestion to give them a call and order a big ol' brick of this stuff to slice off and give to holiday party guests as a take-home favor.... Yummy way to spread some cheer. from the site: Soothing and softening holiday soap with vetivert and aloe vera Looks like cake, smells like cake, but it's best to wash with it (trust us). Christmas Cake soap reminds us of a very special holiday treat on a festive platter next to an open fire of fragrant, smouldering wood logs that chase the chill away. This skin-softening soap with soothing, smoky vetivert essential oil and organic aloe vera keeps your skin calm (and spirits bright) during the Yuletide, even if everything else goes a little crazy. If you're looking for a unique gift idea, order up a whole round of Christmas Cake soap and encourage all your holiday guests to help themselves to a delectable slice to take home with them. Just give our Customer Service folks a holiday jingle and they'll help with the arrangements. »

We're going to let ourselves be surprised by the treats packed by the creatively cool folks at OOP! but this is a fabulous DIY idea that you can do for your kids, too! It's such a simple concept I can't believe I never thought of it. Tie a line/ribbon along your mantel and clip one bag with a surprise in it for each day in December leading up to Christmas. What a great way to start the fun early! You could even do a different theme each year- Candy, the 80's, Ornaments..... »

Trivia Game, Truth or Dare, Lifehacks and NY '09 Resolutions, Chore Chart, Jewelry Organizer..... so much more...~ It's like XMas at Studio 54! "Pass the 'nog, Andy! Powdered sugar for my holiday cookies? No, Bianca, I think I'll pass....." I'll be honest. When it comes to advent calendars... well.... I'm a whore. Yes. I'm an advent calendar whore. I can't help it! It's not so much about the countdown for me as it is about all the little nooks and crannies and boxes and pouches containing treasures. I don't care if they're cheap, tacky, ridiculous treasures. The anticipation is delicious. "Yay, it's a new day! I wonder what piece of crap I get today?" I have been heard to trill as I leap and bound (well, roll and waddle) down the stairs every morning. (The fact that I am the only adult in the house and the one who restocked last season's calendar, and thus am in possession of the Crap 411 ie "What's Inside the Boxes," is something I choose to ignore. That's why I check early in the morning, before caffeine.) I love this one in particular because it has so many non-advent calendar usages. From creative party food display (fill the boxes with truffles or hors d'oeuvres, leaving some doors open so that people can see what's inside, and set it on the buffet), to a jewelry box (if you're very organized you can print up a list of what numbers correspond to which pieces and attach it to the back) or come up with a game (trivia or Memory perhaps?) to play at an event. Fun fashion pictures from the 80's (neon, jelly shoes, Aqua Net) that you print in pairs can go behind doors for a Memory-type game. Or type up baby questions or naughty sex truth-or-dare questions for a baby or bridal shower. How about putting a New Year's resolution or lifehack idea into each compartment and opening one a week in 2009? Or favorite quotes/relationship advice for an amazing wedding present? Whatever. It's all good. Or so says the whore. »
