Baseball Cufflinks your father will want to sport on Game day
My father always told me to keep my eye on the ball.
Unfortunately for me and my entire pee wee little league team, I was too busy keeping my eye on our catcher’s hot sister, Stefanie.
To my Dad’s dismay, I never really excelled at baseball, but we still enjoyed our baseball bonding time, whether in box seats in the bullpen, tossing the ball around in the backyard, or watching the Red Sox crush the Yankees on a pair of barstools at our favorite pub.
I may not have fulfilled Dad’s dreams of having a son who played in the Major Leagues, but I can treat him this Father’s Day to an all star set of MLB Authenticated Game Used Baseball Cufflinks featuring pieces of a real life Major League ball that was hit, caught and pitched by real life Red Sox players.
Score.

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.

Irish shaker set brings luck with every salt and pepper shake
When Irish Eyes Are Smiling, it’s usually because I haven’t overseasoned the Shepherd’s Pie.
No matter what meal I’m preparing, Irish or otherwise, I usually have a heavy hand with my special blend of Irish herbs and seasonings.
Now I just rest my collectible porcelain Luck of the Irish Salt and Pepper Set from Lenox on the table so my husband can add a wee bit o’ salt (he’s watching his sodium) and my son can add a wee lot o’ pepper to whatever meal their dear old Ma is cooking in her pot o’ stainless steel.

A New Year’s Gift Basket that will rock your New Year’s Eve
2011 is going to be my year.
I have a new 32g iPad, a new All-in-one mega sleek computer, a new mattress with bedding fit for a princess, and a new outlook on life… It doesn’t have to be New Year’s Eve to party like it’s 1999. You should have seen me ring in Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year, for all you gentiles out there).
2011 is going to be all about treating myself and my family to the finer things in life, starting with this gourmet New Year’s Gift Basket from Figi’s.
I’ll exercise tomorrow, it’s one of my resolutions.

Monthly gift packages that keep on giving, month after month
Shopping for gifts is a relatively easy process for most people. I am not one of those people.
Holiday shopping is extremely difficult for me, mainly because I have taken a vow to never set foot in an actual retail store. I become a grumpy grump type personality when the holidays come fa la la la la’ing around my corner. I hate the malls full of people, and the parking spaces all taken, and the Salvation Army Santa Clauses all drunk, and the things of this nature. Even online shopping tends to be a challenge. How the H-E double hockey sticks do I know what you want? Here’s my Christmas bonus, get it yourself. Bah Humbug.
Thankfully, a few weeks before Christmas, I was visited by a spirit.
“I am the Ghost of Christmas Present,” said the Spirit. “Look upon me!”
So I did, and this ghost dude was cool enough to hook me up with my new go-to source for Christmas and for any other stupid occasions where people expect me to buy them stuff. Now I get all of my shopping done in one place, with Monthly Gift Packages from the 35 gift clubs featured at Amazing Clubs.
Thank Dickens I found this place.

Custom Monogrammed Soap, custom carved just for you
When it comes to soap, I don’t like to share.
Mi casa es su casa (My house is your house), but mi jabón no es su jabón (My soap is not your soap). I’m a bit of a germaphobe and I don’t know where your hands have been, so it’s only natural that I invest in personalized monogrammed soap that keeps your dirty, bacteria riddled hands off of my clean, pure and pretty soap.
I take pride in buying only the best when it comes to soaps, bars that are good for the environment, good for my sensitive skin and elegant enough to display in my powder room. I’ve found the perfect triple-milled, triple threat soap that passes all of the criteria listed above with this Custom Monogrammed Soap from Carved Solutions.

Experience gifts for the ultimate life experience
I am impossible to shop for.
I know this. I admit this.
I used to grimace when opening gifts during the holiday season. It either didn’t fit, I received the same one last year in a different color, or I just flat out hated it. I, on the other hand, give the awesomest gifts known to man or woman. Rather than run the risk of accruing another closet/garage full of lukewarm loot, I discovered a simple alternative to this unfortunate seasonal dilemma. I buy my own gifts.
This year I’m gifting myself with the experience of a lifetime with an Ultimate Experience Gift from Cloud 9 Living.
Just call me Maverick because I’m taking the highway to the Danger Zone with a Fighter-Pilot for a Day Package. Then again, maybe I’ll give my Camaro a rest and race a 490 horsepower, V8 Ferrari F430 F1 that goes 0-60 mph in 3.9 seconds… Bungee Jumping would be cool.
Hmpf. I’m hard to experience shop for.

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.

Employee retirement gifts worth your time
My life is like clockwork.
I wake up every morning at the same time, without an alarm clock.
I walk to work and arrive at the office at the same time every day.
My stomach grumbles at the same moment every afternoon before lunch.
I’m already counting down the days, hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds to my retirement, which is really difficult to do since I don’t wear a watch (not wearing a watch has been proven to cut down on your stress levels, look it up).
So if you want to get me an early employee retirement gift that is worth my time, get me this Retirement Time Countdown Clock from GuyGifter.
I hear the hours are great when you’re retired.

Unique mom gift – Give your mom a beary unique gift this Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day is just around the corner and I’m wondering what gifts my kids have in store for me this year.
Last year my daughter surprised me with breakfast in bed.
That porridge was too hot.
That very same year my son gave me cash.
That $5 bill was too cold.
This year, I want them to surprise me with a gift that is just right…
Something that lets me know what a beary special Mom I am, like this Unique Mom Gift from Bears in Chairs, Gifts You Design!
Now that would deserve a bear hug.
