Dog eared jewelry necklace – A Mother’s Day gift that has heart
There was a time when gold nameplate necklaces were all the rage. I had one during middle school and it was my prized possession. It rested on a thin gold chain decorating my décolletage with my name centered perfectly in a cool custom cursive script. I loved that necklace. Then it somehow got bent as a result of shoving too many Swatch watches into my jewelry box.
Today I’m more into pendant style necklaces that showcase a single symbolic charm. A cross, first initial or fortune cookie.
I don’t have any kids yet, but this Mom Necklace by Dog eared makes me want to have some, just so I can score this simple yet oh so elegant dangling heart necklace for Mother’s Day.
I guess my material maternal urges are kicking in.

When I was in college I was given a set of magnetic poetry as a gift.
I grew to hate this set when every morning quest for a glass of oj would leave me staring at the refrigerator door at some fragmented non-sensical sentence my roommate’s boyfriend assembled while drunk the night before. As an AP/Honors English student and budding writer, I never responded well to phrases such as:
you are ugly cracker looking
elbow the clown my uncle
your burrito too voluptuous
It was a waste of words and I ultimately ended up throwing them all away. To my dismay, a dry erase board was put up in its place with a barely legible scrawl that read Buy Me Beer.
Years later, I can finally look at my refrigerator door without wincing thanks to these Buddha Magnets from Buddha Groove, a Magnetic word kit that helps me find my center with 20 inspirational quotes and words combined.

Eiffel Tower Clock – A perfect memento of your time at the Eiffel Tower
Does anyone remember that story circulating a few years back about that woman who had a commitment ceremony with the Eiffel Tower?
Well, apparently this lady suffered from that condition where you find yourself attracted to inanimate objects. She even changed her name to reflect her bond with the famous Parisian landmark and is now known legally as Erika Eiffel. True story. Like I could make this stuff up.
Although I admit that there is a certain je ne sais quoi surrounding this monumental French monument and am thrilled that I will be seeing it in person in all its glory très soon, (I leave for Europe tomorrow) I still think that chick was a nut job to commit herself to a building. I mean, I love this Eiffel Tower Clock from Wrapables, but I’m not gonna like, marry it, okay.
I wonder if they have an open relationship… Perhaps she’s cheating on Eiffel with Big Ben. I hear he knows how to show a girl a good time.

Sushi roller helps you sushi rock and roll at home
I have been known to frequent All-You-Can-Eat sushi joints. I have also been known to toss my Temaki shortly thereafter.
I love sushi, but your average sushi boat is downright expensive and if the guy behind the sushi bar doesn’t like your face, you might just be getting the raw end of the fish.
Now I can save money and know exactly what end of the fish is going in my Spicy Tuna Roll, thanks to this simple wok and rolling Sushi Roller I found in the Cooking Enthusiast catalog.
Now I just need to invest in some decent reusable chopsticks because you know what Confucius says… Man with one chopstick go hungry.

Puppy Tweets make a sweet puppy tweet (I mean treat) for your dog
I had to take my dog to the vet this weekend.
My one sick dog had been scratching uncontrollably and ripping out colossal clumps of fur due to allergies and a bacterial infection. Fortunately, the scratching has ceased thanks to a few strong petscriptions. Unfortunately, the antibiotics and steroids she’s on have caused her to drink more… and pee more.
This doesn’t bode well while she’s home alone during my 9 hour work day.
If only she could tweet me:
My Dog: I need to pee. Stat.@BestDogMomEvR
Me: I’ll be home in 15 minutes. Hold it.@ZoeyK9
My Dog: Yeah, good luck with that.@BestDogMomEvR
Oh wait, now she can totally jump on the Twitter train, thanks to the new innovative and very pupular Puppy Tweets social networking device from X-treme Geek that is slowly sweeping the dog nation.
All the cool dogs at the dog park are doing it. = )

Valentines Day Gifts that go beyond your everyday gift chocolate
Contrary to popular Forrest Gump belief, I do not think that life is like a box of chocolates.
True, you may never know what you’re going to get, but either way it’s going to be chocolate. So what if you don’t like cashews, coconut or chocolate covered cherries? It’s still covered in delicious, creamy chocolate. It is my belief that life is like half a box of of chocolates, mixed in with a bunch of things that are completely inedible and hard to swallow, like pencil erasers and soap.
This year for Valentine’s Day, don’t just give your loved one the same ol’ box of boring chocolates. They might be good enough for Forrest, but your sweetie deserves a unique boxed selection of treats, like this Chocoholic Valentines Day Gift box from River Street Sweets.
This way they’ll know exactly what they’re gonna get.

Disposable contact lenses delivered to your door, from AC Lens
I remember the day I tried on my first pair of contact lenses. It took hours to get the slimy discs in place and I kept having elementary school haunted house flashbacks of fingering a bowlful of grapes charading as eyeballs.
I finally got both lenses in and knew immediately, at the tender age of 12, that my social life was about to change. I was no longer referred to as Fanny Four-Eyes and enjoyed receiving long, lingering glances from the boys who had previously chastised me for my wicked nerdy eyewear.
In exchange for my new outlook on life, I had to deal with the inconvenience of putting them in, taking them out, sterilizing and storing them, so on and so forth. I struggled for years to maintain my new frame-free freedom, then I discovered Air Optix Night & Day, the disposable contact lens that can be worn up to 30 days and nights, delivered to my mailbox in a jiffy from AC Lens.
Night & Day, these contacts are the one.

He’s Just Not That Into You Boxset and Companion Book
These days, dating is harder than making a phone call on your iPhone.
At times, we single ladies are so enamored at the onset of a new relationship with Mr. Cutie Cute that we turn a blind eye to the mixed messages, the lack of reciprocation, the toilet seat being left up and the bright neon signs flashing right before our eyes telling us the one thing that we do not want to hear.
He’s just not that into us.
For instance:
1. If he forgets your birthday, he’s just not that into you.
2. If he calls you Bro, Dude or any other nickname normally reserved for his little brother, he’s just not that into you.
3. If he eats the entire pizza pie without offering you a slice, he’s just not that into you.
4. If he prefers kissing men, he’s just not that into you.
And so on, and so forth.
Gather all of the pearls of wisdom that you need to survive in this cruel, cruel dating world with the He’s Just Not That Into You Boxset featured at iNetVideo.com. Then the next time he stands you up on Saturday night, you’ll at least have a cool chick flick to watch because odds are, homeboy would rather nail his scrotum to a chair than watch it with you.

Mad Men Dolls for 60′s style doll play
When I was a little girl I loved playing Barbie. I had a case full of them and their corresponding Kens.
My collection consisted of Cowgirl Barbie and Rodeo Ken, a Kissing Barbie who left actual mini crimson kisses on my cheek when I pushed a button in her back and an overly dressed, tan and heavily made up Barbie whose name/theme escapes me, although by today’s standards she would most likely be marketed as Cougar Barbie.
I loved my Barbies and Kens, but at some point we parted ways. They were too goody goody and wholesome for me, the couple who always kept their Dream House spotless while attending Barbie church every Sunday.
Now that I’m older, I want to play with dolls that I share a little more common ground with. Dolls who drink scotch, live in Manhattan, curse like sailors and smoke Lucky Strikes. Thankfully, Big Bad Toy Store offers a new collection of Mad Men Dolls from Mattel that make Barbie, Ken and Skipper look like the prisses they are.

iPad Case – House your iPad in style in a sleek leather case
I told myself I wasn’t going to buy an iPad.
I usually refrain from the practice of standing in line for hours and paying hundreds of dollars for the next great device. I still don’t have an iPhone and have heard one too many jokes comparing iPads to feminine hygiene products.
So I told myself, I’m not buying an iPad. Period.
But if I were to buy an iPad (not saying that I am), I would surely accessorize it with this sleek leather iPad Tablet Case from Fossil.
It provides maximum protection against spills.
