ballpark pens

First to recommend

Description

I feel like I have a good grasp on men... I've dated about a million of them. And if there is one thing I've learned- men like: gadgets, good pens, sex and sports (not necessarily in that order)...

These pens are crafted from wood from the seats at some of the best (read: oldest) stadiums in the MLB. Fenway (Red Sox), Wrigley (Cubs), Yankee (obvious, boo!), etc...

Being a little nutty over baseball myself I of course want a Fenway, but would also appreciate a Wrigley.

jimmyjane massage oil candle

First to recommend

Description

Yeah... I'm sure this is hot and romantic but there is NO WAY I am going to let you pour massage oil candle wax on me. There are too many ways this can go terribly, terribly wrong. Like end up in the ER wrong. Like having to show the doctor my blistered va-jay-jay wrong.

But if that's your thing...

A wonderful rainbow of inspiration for a writer, diarist or doodler, these journals come boxed in a lovely linen display case for safe-keeping and admiration. You might even want to pick up a set for your own library.

heart - shaped paperweights

File this under: GIFTS TO NOT GET YOUR BOSS

Well, unless you're that type of employee, then by all means.

These little paperweights offer "subtle" suggestions as to what the recipient ought to be doing... "tease me" "seduce me"... which is kinda nerdy...

All I'm saying is: If you have to ASK you're approach is ALL wrong.

year of seeds

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

Take lemons and make lemonade... when Hallmark gives you a sucky holiday make it special by giving something that is simple and charming...

Each month the recipient gets an adorable little planter and seasonally appropriate seeds. It's a little bit of beautiful year-round.

Description

If you have ever been at a loss for what to tell a pretty, young thing at a bar...
try this:

"Are your legs tired? Cause you've been running through my mind alllll day."

If ever there was a time to test out your skillz it would be V-Day... sometimes girls will put up with a whole lot for the promise of dinner and Godvia.

Kent DualDrive Tandem Bicycle

First to recommend

Description

Who knew that the cheesiest expression of 'I-don't-care-what-you-think" love was available at Walmart.

I soooo wish I had a bicycle built for two... but only because I want to be pulled around.

Bonus points if you have matching helmets.

DIY Straws

Description

If you must share a beverage (with two straws, no less) buy this DIY straw set. Kind cool. Kinda dorky... but in that unabashed way.

A little suck-free Valentine's love for my desk.

It's much easier to find out you only have $12.84 in your checking account if you find it out on a heart shaped calc... I think.
