You Would Even Say It Glows Card

Updated Dec 8, 2007

1st to recommend

Description

I'm a big fan of Bob's Your Uncle, as you may know if you've seen my other recs.

I love this as a holiday card but even more so if you "think outside the box" and give it to your bed bud as a sexy XMas greeting. Think about that for a second. Now you've got it. Wink.

Tattoos for the Elderly

Updated Dec 8, 2007

1st to recommend

Description

Looking for a stocking stuffer grandma and grandpa haven't seen before? Chances are this one will fit the bill. I LOVE the pillbox one.

Not to make it all about me and my bad knees (14 years of Irish dancing lessons FOR WHAT?? FOR WHAT I ask you??), but when I first saw the arthritis tat I immediately knew where on my (hidden for modesty) I'd put it.

Goldfish and Cheerio Necklaces

Updated Dec 9, 2007

1st to recommend

Description

There are few things that remind me of my kids' Babyhood as much as Cheerios and Goldfish crackers. Rarely did I leave the house without packing these as artillery. So these necklaces tug at my heartstrings and are, in my opinion, a fantastic gift for any mom.

A few details from the web site:

Cheerio Necklace
Ahhh...breakfast cereal. Good to eat, better to wear! Your friends wear real Cheerios strung on yarn by their little ones... But you can wear yours in solid sterling silver! Cast from an actual Cheerio, this solid sterling silver charm speaks to moms as a symbol of motherhood. Beautiful hung on a dainty 1.5mm sterling ball chain. Charm: approx. 1/2" in diameter Necklace: approx. 18" chain

Goldfish Cracker Necklace
There are just some things in life that bring back a rush of great childhood memories. Like opening your lunch bag to find a note scribbled on your napkin by your mom and a baggie full of cheesy fish crackers! Ah... the simpler times. It's solid sterling silver and arrives on an 18" sterling silver chain.

Doggy IncrediBubbles

Updated Dec 9, 2007

1st to recommend

Description

I'm "in between dogs" at the moment but I have several friends with dogs In the House. I'm adding these to the holiday hostess gift baskets I'll be bringing to them this season....

A few words from the site:

IncrediBubbles don't pop when they touch the ground!

Blow long-lasting bubbles for pets to chase and pop. Bubbles dry in the air, and land on the ground intact, waiting to be attacked by dogs. Doggies really love chasing and bursting these bubbles! Fantastic fun!

Comes in peach flavor (non-toxic of course!)

Cards for Alternative Lifestyles....

Updated Dec 9, 2007

1st to recommend

Description

Most stereotypes are completely rubbish. But I've found one that consistently has proven to be quite correct- my gay friends simply have better taste than my straight ones. Which makes selecting gifts for them an exciting challenge... raises the retail bar, if you will.

I love these cards for their stylish simplicity and tongue in cheek wit.

Keeping in My Boys' good graces is important because as the saying goes, as I age they'll keep me away from chiffon and bad lighting.

This is just plain cool, in my opinion. And given the number of conversations we've had with the kids about stars when we're out and about it's useful too.

I Saw Mommy Kissing Mrs. Clause T-Shirt

Updated Dec 10, 2007

1st to recommend

Description

...if there was never any "naughty" then you wouldn't have "nice" to compare it to.
Thus, I dabble in Naughty as a selfless gesture aimed at keeping Nice in business so children can have toys.

Oh fine. The fact is that no matter how high up the Grown Up ladder I am dragged (kicking and screaming I might add), I have yet to lose my grip on my juvenile sense of humor. I have been known to relate to Beavis on occasion. So this made me laugh when I saw it and laugh again when I wore it.

But I promise. I'm a real grown-up the rest of the time.

.... If you're easily offended, take a pass on the Tshirt Hell website. Just a head's up...

7 Deadly Sins Chocolates

Updated Dec 14, 2007

1st to recommend

Description

..."loved" this. This was one of my favorite things to give as a hostess gift during the holidays but now I can only find UK sites that sell them. Red Envelope was my 'dealer' until this year.

Each Sin comes in its own little jewel colored box. Pathetically, I still have a bag of empty boxes from the past two years that I was going to do something 'clever' with. Yesterday I came across them and sadly sat and just opened and closed them. Santa, I need a LIFE!

Greed (I will buy them ALL when I find them...)
Gluttony (I've eaten all the Sins by myself before...)
Lust (I literally CRAVE them....)
Envy (....and wish I was in England. The English have them.)
Sloth (I'm too lazy to surf for more than 15 minutes looking for a US dealer..)
Wrath (I am going to give Red Envelope a piece of my mind for taking away my favorite thing...)
Anger (DAMMIT! WHY ARE MY TRUFFLES GONE!)

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

Updated Dec 9, 2007

1st to recommend

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.... just about anything.

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

Nintendo Mints

Updated Dec 8, 2007

1st to recommend

Description

What can I say? I'm a product of the 80's...

.... and I'm also becoming more and more like the grandma who washes out Ziploc bags and reuses them. Everything has a dual purpose. In this case, I bought a handful of these and was intent on simply refilling them with my trusty Altoids and tucking them into holiday stockings. Of the mantel variety, not garter.

However, one afternoon I had a Martha-Stewart-in-Prison moment. I needed to wrap a gift (luckily, just a pair of earrings) and had NO wrapping paper within access range. So I had to make do. Enter the empty Nintendo mint tin.


I got kudos for creativity from the recipient and just to ease your mind, no "shanks" were involved in the wrapping of this gift. Ha.

Not only is this a great looking pendant but you're helping a great organization through its purchase:

"The Joyful Heart Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to the recovery of rape and sexual assault survivors through the “total healing” of the mind, body and spirit."

I have purchased a few as gifts over the years and wear one myself. Love this.

Scratch 'n Sniff Stickers

Updated Dec 8, 2007

1st to recommend

Description

Back in the late 70's/early 80's, I was the equivalent of a dealer on a street corner with scratch 'n sniff stickers. My fellow 2nd graders would meet me in the hallway before the first bell rang, I would pull out my trusty envelope of 'goods' and the transactions would commence.

Well it's true what they say about addictions running through the gene pool. My daughters both tend to sniff everything with gusto. Mostly things that are ok. We've had the "spray paint can" discussion, don't worry. But we are a family that likes to smell stuff.

And while dealing stickers might put a bit of spare change in my pocket, it isn't my true motivation for trying to bring back the scratch 'n sniff sticker craze. I just really love them to this day. So I pop them on presents, cards, etc whenever I get the chance.

If there are any "recovering sniffers" from the 80's like myself out there, here's a link that made me literally yelp out loud in delight:
http://www.bubbledog.com/sns/
"Bubbledog" has an online gallery of all the stickers we knew, loved and smelled from the 80's. Sad to say, but I literally teared up when I saw some of them. Wow did it bring back memories....

And one last link:
http://www.promobrands.com/scratchandsniffscents.htm
Promo Brands carries the world's largest variety of scratch n sniff scents (do the world a favor and avoid the 'baby poo' one please!) and promises that they can give an Eau du Whatever to any product you want. In other words, go to them if you have something you want to smell like something else.

Hot Dog Pin/Tie Tack

Updated Dec 8, 2007

1st to recommend

Description

I think I'll let the web site's words do the talking on this one. It's better that the phrase "weiner bling" comes from them I think....

NOTE: They also have this in a necklace version.

Whether you're a ballpark fan, or are just a fan of frank and beans - this dog's for you - be the envy of all of your co-workers and co-horts while flashing your weiner (bling.)

Cast in solid sterling silver from a real, tiny plastic hot dog. A true relic - the original red plastic hot dog is held in the bun with adhesive. A great addition to any avid baseball enthusiast.

Rubber Chicken Necklace

Updated Dec 8, 2007

Description

NOTE: Also available as Pin/Tie Tack

Like "fat guy in a little coat," a rubber chicken always elicits smiles. I don't know why. But it does. So loosen up and have a bit of fun with this whimsical necklace.

More details from the site:
Don't question the magic of the rubber chicken - embrace it. (Just don't choke it) This solid sterling silver chicken is cast from a miniature rubber chicken! A real piece of kitsch to be worn around the neck. Hangs from a sterling silver ball chain.
