Why Don’t You Love Me?

By |February 9th, 2011|Gift Guide, Somethin for the fellas|

While some hypothesize that Valentine’s Day is just a fabricated holiday brought to you straight from the fine folks at Hallmark, I will never argue with a holiday that is all about love, chocolate, flowers, and lingerie.  With a mere five days to go until the big day, I have compiled a list of gifts that you will probably want to forward to your significant other ASAP!  Whether you’ve just started dating or you’re in for the long haul, these Valentine’s gifts are sure to make even Cupid smile. I’ve rated them G (you’re still at the sweet beginning or maybe you are buying these for your mom or sister) to R (you’re ready to cut loose and swing from the chandeliers!).  In any case, there’s something for everyone.

Clockwise: Umbra Storage Box, $24.99, Juicy Couture Valentine Crepe Playsuit, $98, Rebecca Minkoff Fluoro Snake MAC Clutch, $330, iPod Nano 8GB, $149, Moonstruck Chocolatier Love Bug Chocolate Truffles, $25.95, Graphic Image Heart Lock Diary, $95

WhyDid’s Gift Guide: Quick Fix

By |December 24th, 2010|Gift Guide|

Um, whoops. Forgot your sister? Maybe your cousin who you haven’t seen in a while? How the hell did you let that slip your mind? You really suck at this whole “Christmas” thing, huh? Luckily, I’m here (again) to save the day. Here’s a few last minute/quick fixes for your holiday mishaps.

Scratch off lottery tickets. Everyone’s a winner as far as I’m concerned. Just remind Uncle Tom that you did buy him that ticket if he just so happens to strike it rich.

A memory. Find a photo of a special moment in time. Print it at the nearest Kinko’s and place it in a frame. Don’t have any photos off hand? Steal a great one from Facebook. I knew it would come in handy for something other than stalking at some point!

Cheers! You can probably still pop into a liquor store and pick up a delightful spirit. Pick something special that you wouldn’t use for Wednesday night “pre-gaming.”

Just relax. Everything’s going to be fine… as soon as you hit up the closest drugstore and pick up all the essentials for a luxurious at home spa pedicure.

Half baked. Okay, this may not be the most original idea on the planet, but desperate times call for desperate measures… and by measures, I mean, get out your measuring cup. Try my all time favorite recipe.

Get crafty. If you have some smidgeon of artistic ability, making something is a great option. Try these cinnamon bird ornaments from Martha Stewart.

and you’re welcome.

No matter what stage of dating you are in, you’ve gotta pull some kind of rabbit out of your hat. Now, I shouldn’t have to clarify, but I will… Start at the top of the list the longer you’ve been dating. If you’ve only been dating a short time, start at the bottom.
