Say goodbye to germs with high tech kitchen gadgets from Horchow catalog
I don’t like germs. Especially if they’re lurking around on my food. Before I sit down to lunch I double wash my grapes, lettuce, tomatoes and every other fruit and vegetable that’s going anywhere near my mouth. It’s no picnic. I hate germs, but I love gadgets, so this Nano Ultraviolet Disinfection Scanner from Horchow is the perfect gift. It makes all of my fruits and veggies completely germ free by sanitizing my kitchen countertops, plus I have a new hi tech gadget to play with while I’m mincing and dicing.
Make holiday entertaining bear-able

Add some black bear decor to your home with NorthStyle Catalog
I’m not the best host. I’m a great party guest, but I’m not so crazy about hosting. I don’t even like getting up every ten minutes to refresh my own drink much less other people’s drinks. Whether I’m watching a game on TV with the guys, having a dinner party or entertaining guests at a holiday shindig, I can’t take the stress of making sure everyone’s glass is half full. We can’t really afford a butler to perform white glove service at every one of our entertainment functions… but I can afford this Butler Bear from NorthStyle catalog.
Wake up and smell the coffee maker

Keurig and the coffee maker of my dreams
If I don’t have my coffee in the morning, I’m of no use to anyone. Don’t talk to me, don’t look at me, don’t breathe near me. Try it and beware of the Wrath of Linda. That’s right, it’s so bad, it’s italicized. Times are tight and I’m tired of spending gas on numerous coffee runs, so I’m thinking it’s time to invest in a new coffee maker that will keep me properly caffeinated. This Breville Keurig Single Cup Brewer from Green Mountain Coffee® isn’t just a coffee maker, it’s my coffee savior.
Looking for a date?

Make a date to buy a stylish day planner from Day Runner
My schedule is always pretty hectic, especially around the holidays. I don’t mean to brag, but I’m a pretty popular lady with a social calendar that’s always full. I used to scribble all of my meetings, contacts, dates and birthdays on yellow post it notes, but that got messy. I tried writing dates down on my hand, but they’d always get smeared across my forehead by the end of the day. I’m tired of not knowing whether I’m coming or going and running around like a chicken with her head cut off, so I’m treating myself to this lovely Suede Edge Day Planner from Day Runner® to keep me organized in style.
Make it a Tuscan happy hour

Why have a glass of vino when you can have a whole pitcher with Tuscan china and pottery from Artistica
Who doesn’t love Italy? I adore all things Italian: the art, the fashion, the gondola rides, those men with the striped shirts, red scarves and funny hats that steer the gondolas, the pizza, the meatballs, hey, I even love having a little taste of Italy now and again at Olive Garden. But most of all, I love the Chianti vino muy delicioso. (Was that Italian or Spanish?…romance languages kill me). One of my most prized possessions is my Tuscan China Vino Pitcher from Artistica.
Sitting pretty

Icy cool chairs and contemporary living room furniture pieces that are icy hot
I don’t like to put my fanny just anywhere. I’m very selective when it comes to chairs, especially if they’re featured in my living room. They have to be comfortable, they have to match my decor, and they have to make a statement. Hee Welling’s collection of Cool Chairs from Design Within Reach are anything but ordinary. Why? They’re made from a major kitchen appliance.
Feeling hot, hot, hot

Keep your tortillas warmer with spicy southwestern home decoration
I’m a hot tamale. I’m a fiery red head with the personality of a jalapeño pepper. All my co-workers know this. This is why I need southwestern home decorations that match my muy caliente personality. This Tortilla Warmer from Made in New Mexico is hotter than I am. I know, I didn’t think it was possible either. Can I get a ¡Chi Chi Arriba Arriba!?
See ya later marinater

Where’s the beef? It’s being tenderized by one of the newest, coolest gadgets from Brookestone Stores!
I’m a sports fanatic. I keep the tickets stubs from every game I’ve been to, even from Little League. There’s only one thing I love more than pro sporting events. Meat. Make that two things, meat and beer. There’s nothing better than tailgating with a few buddies before a big game with a case of brewskis on hand, a grill, a few babes and some perfectly tenderized meat. Not necessarily in that order. That’s why I set myself up with one of these Instant Marinater Meat Tenderizers from Brookstone that flava flav my meat in minutes.
Decisions…decisions

Clever home office decor that bosses me around
I’ve always been indecisive. Beef Stroganoff for dinner or Meatloaf? Hyundai or Toyota? Waffle House or IHop? Sarah Palin or Hilary? My head hurts just thinking about it. Sometimes I just want the decisions to be made for me, which is why I have this Desktop Decision Maker Paperweight from Room Service Home sitting on my desk.
Organic pillow fight

This buckwheat pillow and organic bedding is A o-tay!
When I first heard of The Clean Bedroom website, I thought they’d send people to actually come in and clean my bedroom. Unfortunately for me, that’s not really what they do, but I did find a pretty sweet supply of organic bedding like these Buckwheat pillows.
Drop Your Drawers Here

Have the last word with decorative wall word quotes
My kids don’t always listen to me, so sometimes I need a little extra help. After 13 years my son still didn’t know where the laundry hamper was. I found his dirty underwear and socks everywhere. Then I enlisted the help of Wall Words. With their aid I was able to put up a Decorative Wall Quote reminding my son where to drop his drawers.

Rocking beer steins make the perfect Polish gift for your guy
I have no idea who that dude on the Beer Stein is, but I’m sure he’ll look a lot better when I’m drunk. Whether your giftees are Polish or not, these heavy Polish Ceramic Beer Steins are the absolute cream of the Polish gifts and collectibles crop! You can grace your man with one for your Anniversary, his birthday, or Ocktoberfest, and I guarantee, he’ll think you’re the coolest chick on the outskirts of Poland.
