What Hair Shall I Wear? Decision Spinner

First to recommend

Description

If only this had been around in the 80's.... I would have had something to blame my mall quail bangs on. Sigh.

At any rate, this would be kind of a fun tschotske for the morning grooming routine.

Defining Twilight: Vocabulary Workbook for Unlocking the SAT, ACT, GED, and SSAT (9780470507438): Brian Leaf: Books

First to recommend

Description

I have a theory about getting people to do what I want. Basically, you have to take the same approach as you would when giving a dog a worm pill: wrap it in something palatable and they'll be so distracted they'll swallow it without realizing that- Egads!- it was actually good for them.

In this particular case, this book does just that. Get your Team Edward (really, is ANYONE Team Jacob?) teen to prep for the SAT using the thing they are most obsessed with: Twilight. And without the liverwurst smell. Whoo ha.

from the site:
Product Description
Can you resist the allure of Edward’s myriad charms—his ocher eyes and tousled hair, the cadence of his speech, his chiseled alabaster skin, and his gratuitous charm? Will you hunt surreptitiously and tolerate the ceaseless deluge in Forks to evade the sun and uphold the facade? Join Edward and Bella as you learn more than 600 vocabulary words to improve your score on the *SAT, ACT®, GED®, and SSAT® exams!

Use this workbook side-by-side with your own copy of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight!

*
Each chapter of the workbook gives you eight words taken from Twilight, with page references for you to read the words in the context of your favorite novel
*
Define the words on your own before turning back to the workbook for their actual definitions
*
At the end of each section you’ll take SAT, ACT, GED, and SSAT drills and quizzes to review and integrate what you’ve learned
*
Plus, you’ll learn synonyms, Latin word parts, and memorization tools throughout the workbook

I DRIVE LIKE A CULLEN Vinyl Car Decal Sticker

First to recommend

Description

I bought this for myself. There. I said it. Well, wrote it. Either way, now you know the truth: I like Twilight. I have an 11-year-old daughter who would love to have this sticker for her locker but I'm keeping it for myself. I drive like a cop heading to an overturned Krispy Kreme truck accident so I deserve it.

More styles available. Maybe I'll get her one of those.

Karmaloop.com - Twilight Jacket in Lake Blue By BB Dakota

2 people recommended this item

Description

If I do nothing else right in my 11-year-old's eyes this year, I will still be receiving a nomination for Greatest Mother on the Planet for having purchased this jacket from Karmaloop earlier this summer (the size XS fits her perfectly).

The jacket is, in her words, exactly what Bella is wearing "in, like, the two most important scenes in ,like, the movie!!!!" I can concur because as soon as she opened the box she put it on and made me watch the movie for the 6th time. We compared pocket for pocket, zipper for zipper. It's a match.

It's not cheap but I can attest to the fact that it's so well made and substantial that it will make a great winter coat if you live anywhere that isn't covered with 3-feet of snow. Perfect for fall regardless of your zip code.

The color is a really gorgeous, unusual shade of blue, a tad deeper and darker than that shown in the photo.

Best of all, this alone- when paired with clothes already likely to be in your tween's closet, would make an awesome Bella costume for Halloween.

Description

Times have changed. My daughter saw my old Smith Corona typewriter in the attic and looked at me as if to say, "and did you write on cave walls instead of IM'ing, too?"

Here's a pretty little thing to keep her life on the 'net organized.

Twist & Pout is a yummy, protective balm that looks as good in your purse or locker as it tastes on your lips. A favorite in our house and something I'm stocking up on before the cold, dry winds of winter hit again.

What Would You Attempt to Do if You Knew You Could Not Fail? Paperweight

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

A few years ago, I found myself on the look-out for a thank you gift for the committee members of a charity event I was in charge of. The event was a ten-day holiday festival and this group of women had not only exceeded my expectations but more importantly, they had surpassed their own in terms of their creativity and abilities.

That's why this paperweight ended up being the perfect gift. At the start of our planning, I saw a room of women who saw themselves as followers, simply waiting to be given instructions. After being given their own little niche to take charge of and the instruction to "go a bit wild with it, deviate from the norm" they ended up as confidant leaders.

Which is why I believe very much in the importance of the message of this pewter paperweight and have since given it as a present for college graduations, "divorce gifts", weddings, teens starting out the school year.... just about anything.

And I always, always keep mine on my desk where I can see it.
