Roberto Cavalli Feather Print Jersey Push Up Bra, $240

As much as I love a good theme party, I despise themed clothing on holidays.  Sorry, I just do.  I especially despise it after the age of twelve.  Needless to say I’m not wearing green today.  Pinch me. I dare you. Anyway, I’m not a complete curmudgeon.  So, in celebration of the Irish (they’re great people afterall: potatoes, Guinness, folklore), there’s a little Irish phrase, “erin go bragh” that essentially translates into “Ireland Forever.”  I’ve gone ahead and translated it into brassieres and done a little erin go bra-ing of my own.  Because if there is one thing I do love, it’s lingerie.  This is about as festive as I’ll get.  Take what you can get, lasses.

It’s wedding season so you probably either know someone who is getting married or you, yourself, might be getting married (God bless you).

Anyway, one of the most fun parts about an upcoming wedding (for the ladies) is the bachelorette party/bridal shower.  However, it tends to be tricky getting a cool gift for the future Mrs. that doesn’t involve the words “penis shaped…”  Here are some gift ideas that the bride might actually contemplate keeping.

• Kiki De Montparnasse “Sleep/Fuck” sleepmask, $75- certainly could come in handy

• Hanky Panky “I Do” thong, $31

• Myla Nanette Chemise, $280- pricey, but certainly an upgrade from Frederick’s of Hollywood

• Kiki De Montparnasse Sensuality Kit, $195

• Hanky Panky “Bridesmaid” and “Maid of Honor” thongs, $28

• Jimmy Jamie “Spin Me” game, $35- because it could rain on their honeymoon

• Betsey Johnson Bra Cup Babydoll, $88

• IOU Sex Book, $5.95- a small price to pay for the mileage this book will get you

• Sherry et Cie Garter, $27- seems like a no brainer, but you’d be surprised how many times a garter is forgotten

She Comes First, $22.95- because marriage is FOREVER and that’s a long time without the big “O”

Mazel tov!

You like to live on the edge. You like to procrastinate. You could care less about this stupid Hallmark holiday (I personally love it- I’m just expressing what some others may think).  Whatever the reason may be, you still haven’t managed to purchase that special someone a gift for Valentine’s Day.  Well, have no fear, I’m here to get you out of this mess, you lazy fool. Below are some quick and fabulous V-day ideas! You’re welcome in advance!

It can be very stressful trying to come up with a thoughtful and useful gift for your honey. So below I have outlined some Do’s and Don’ts of holiday shopping in order to keep you out of the dog house.

What she absolutely does NOT want:

• Don’t bother trying to buy her clothes. Unless you have (successfully) done this in the past, I would skip it. Plus, you don’t want to have the awkward moment of buying a size 8 when she’s really a size 4. Never buy her a sweater. This is what her Aunt Helen is for.
• Nix the gift certificates. I know it sounds good in theory and kind of a no fail option, but you are wrong. Gift certificates are completely thoughtless and lazy and trust me, she’ll recognize that. Put in the leg work and get her a real gift.
• Perfume is way too personal for you to be picking out for her. That’s something she should buy on her own. I also think it is kind of cheesy and trite.
• Lingerie is iffy. I personally love lingerie, but it is essentially a selfish gift, no? Save it for Valentine’s Day. If you do opt for lingerie, be sure that it’s La Perla or Myla and not Victoria’s Secret. This is no time to be stingy.
• Jewelry is tricky. There is only one surefire option in jewelry, diamonds. Unless you are very familiar with her style or willing to dish out the $$ for diamonds, I’d hold off. I have a personal horror story about jewelry on Christmas. Picture this: your boyfriend calls you from the Diamond District and tells you how he is the most amazing boyfriend in the world. You are now giddy with excitement (thinking you are finally getting those diamond studs). He shows up with Swarvoski crystals. And ugly ones at that.
• Any type of kitchen appliance. Enough said.
• Pajamas. Could you be any less sexy?

Some better options:

• Cashmere slippers, www.henribendel.com
• Dell Inspiron Mini9 laptop, www.dell.com
• Something for her pooch, www.trixieandpeanut.com
• Spa treatments (make them for two!) www.spafinder.com
• Photos of the two of you or a scrapbook. Hey, I get it, times are tough. When she sees all the work you put into this, she won’t be thinking about a price tag.
• Tickets to her favorite show or ballet www.ticketmaster.com

In all honesty, my favorite part of any gift is the card. Believe it or not, I do have a soft side. The thought that goes into your gift is far more meaningful than what you actually buy her. If she throws a tantrum or diva fit… maybe it’s time to re-evaluate…

Any of you ladies reading, email me your most horrific holiday gift stories and I will post the best ones! whydidyouwearthat@whydid.com
