Setting the Mood: Dirty Pop

Gift Guide: It’s that time of year again…

By |December 1st, 2008|Gift Guide|

Okay, so maybe this it’s only the middle of November, but the Holidays are fast approaching. While this is a slight departure from my typical commentary, our country is in a recession so, it’s time to start shopping in order to get ourselves out of this mess. No, really, I’m serious. So, here are some awesome gifts that I found to make your life slightly easier and to help aid in ending the national economic crisis. Then I’ll go back to being bitchy….

TURN YOUR PICTURES INTO ART:

This is one of my personal favorites.  Basically you send in a picture that you would like to have turned into a piece of art. You can choose from different styles ranging from Warhol to a simple silhouette and prices start at $39.99 and go up to over $200 depending on the style/fabrication/size you choose. It takes about 14 business days for the final product. Go to www.allpopart.com to learn more.

Such a great personal gift! Just don’t break up or you could be left with some awkward blank wall space!
