ET Phone Flask home
Phone flask that makes you want to answer every phone call
I love my phone. I love martinis. Best of all, I love martinis in my phone.
This innovative Phone Flask from Gunther Gifts is better than any iPhone app I’ve downloaded in the past few months. It allows you to conveniently carry your spirits wherever you go, and if people on the street give you a dirty look for taking a mid-day swig, you can simply pretend you’re on the phone with your mother.
Transform your party into a par-tay
Transformers pinata transforms any birthday into an Optimus Prime affair
My birthday is the day after tomorrow and I’ve already secured all of the necessary party supplies:
- Birthday cake? Check.
- Wine and spirits? Check.
- IMAX movie tickets? Check.
- 3-D Glasses? Check.
- Personal appearance by Shia LeBeouf? Check.
- Transformers Pinata from Pinatas.com? Double check. (yep, I got two).
This Transformers Pinata celebrates the birthday girl or boy, while celebrating the new blockbuster release of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen 3-D. Every party needs a big whopping Pull String Pinata in the shape of Optimus Prime. He wages battles against evil forces and can be filled with delicious mini-Snickers bars. What more could a birthday girl ask for?
The big chill
Cooper wine chiller chills your wine in no time
My fridge is always packed with perishables and I don’t always have room for all of the whites in my wine rack, which is why I’m crazy about this Cooper Wine Chiller from Wineracks.com.
Ideal for the wine connoisseur or hostess who may not have a lot of extra refrigerator space, the Cooper Wine Chiller chills your white wines in no time for a perfect glass whenever an unexpected guest drops by. Just pop a bottle in and you’ll have a properly chilled chablis at a moment’s notice, cooled to a sublime serving temperature.
All in good Fun dip
Fun dips give me a fun candy dipping blast from the past
I walked into the office next door the other day to send a fax and was surprised to see one of my co-workers sitting cross-legged in her chair, transfixed on a pouch. At first I thought she was chewing tobacco, which seemed totally uncharacteristic of her. Then I realized she wasn’t chewing and spitting, she was sucking and slurping like a 7 year-old. I peered a little closer and saw her dipping into a small, colorful little packet.
What’cha eating? I asked, perplexed.
Fun Dips! she replied with a green lipped smile.
Then it all came back to me. Fun dips, yes! She had ordered a batch of those retro candy treats for an upcoming party from the US Toy Carnival Catalog and was licking her colored sugar daintily off of her prized Lik-A-Stick with glee. Well, wasn’t she fancy? My kids and I loved these retro candy treats so much, we weren’t patient enough to use the stick. Our fingers were good enough.
Do me a favor
Recycled wedding favors that favor your eco friendly wedding guests
Do me a favor. Have a heart.
If you’re planning a wedding, I realize that the main priority is celebrating your undying love for one another, blah blah blah, but you also have to celebrate the love for your guests. I’ve shelled out a pretty penny over the years buying my friends expensive waffle makers, steak knives and pillow shams off of their multiple wedding registries, and how do I get paid back? With a personalized mint that says Mary loves Mark or a tulle wrapped handful of m&m’s. You can do better than that, especially if you’re having a wedding without an open bar.
I am totally over Jordan almonds and am betting your Great Uncle Morty is too, so give your guests a favor that means something like these Plant a Heart Recycled Wedding Favors that are made from recycled paper and contain green, environmentally-friendly goodies that last longer than those m&ms that immediately melt in your mouth, not in your hands.
Ice cream party, all for me
Novelty birthday candles for novel birthday wishes
Last week wasn’t my best week ever.
I was a mess. I had car problems, my flat iron wasn’t cooperating, it was my birthday, and people just never seem to want to call me back. Until yesterday I was convinced that nobody loved me, until I was called outside for work mid-afternoon to see a table set up with three quarts of ice cream, Dora the Explorer (and Diego) party plates, Ice Cream Cone shaped Novelty Birthday Candles from King Arthur Flour, and the best part — a teal Adirondak chair just for me!
Hey Ma! They like me, they really like me!
That’s Princess Trish to you
A Princess birthday invitation fit for royalty
It’s never too early to start planning your next birthday party. My birthday isn’t until early September, but I already have the theme, the favors and the gourmet carrot cake all picked out. I even put down a deposit on the white pony I’m riding in on {me and Paddy Cake are going to make quite an entrance}. This pretty Princess Birthday Invitation from American Stationery is the perfect invite to set the tone for my pretty, pretty Princess party.
I went to a Hawaii and all I got was leid
Hawaiian lei flowers say Aloha at your Hawaiian themed shindig
I just spent my Christmas vacation in Mehico (I know it’s Mexico, but I pronounce it Me-Hee-Co). I had a muy bueno time, me and mi amigo José Cuervo. I ate some enchiladas, won a wet t-shirt contest in Cancun, and learned how to say
¿Dónde está la Biblioteca? which means Where is that hot dance club that sells bibles?
Now I’m back in the old US of A and I’m anxious to travel to another far and distant land. I still have some frequent flyer miles left, so I’m going Hawaii or bust. For my Bon Voyage party I want to see hundreds of these Hawaiian lei flowers from Century Novelty everywhere, to prep me for all the leis I’m gonna get once I hit the Pacific.
Hillary on crack
Nutcracker featuring Hillary Clinton’s thighs of steel
Just when you thought you were over the Hill…
She’s back. With a vengeance.
It’s official. President-elect Barack Obama formally nominated Hillary Clinton for the prestigious position of Secretary of State as he rolled out his national security team last week. All I have to say is, You go girl. You may not be living in your old bedroom back at the White House, but you’re in the Cabinet and ready to crack down on all of our country’s dilemmas with the tenacity of a champion nutcracker. Which brings me to our featured product… Wooden Nutcracker Soldiers are so last year. This Christmas, surprise them with a Hillary Clinton Nutcracker from Collector’s Edge to crack all those holiday nuts in style.
I did not drink wine with that woman
Have some Presidential fun with Catalog Favorites gifts
After the past election, I’m still hyped up and feeling kinda presidential. My vote counted and President-to-be Barack Obama is going to take good care of me and my fellow Americans. I’d like to forget about how I’ve been screwed for the past eight years and celebrate the fact that the Democrats are back in the house. No better way to celebrate the victory of our new President Elect than with a Presidential wine party! This Bill Clinton corkscrew from Catalog Favorites is a welcome addition to any wine party…or party in general.
Say I do, to shopping
Shop ’til you drop for wedding reception ideas
I promise to love, honor and obey my husband, as long as he promises to hand over all his credit cards and hold my purse while I’m in the fitting room trying on designer clothes for all eternity. The ultimate in quirky wedding reception ideas, this Gone Shopping Wedding Cake Topper from Marilyn’s Keepsakes should’ve topped the cake of my wedding. I am a Shopaholic after all.
Make this Halloween a gas
This Halloween won’t stink with fun party costumes, supplies and decorations
Halloween is just around the bend, and I never know what to be. This year I’m taking the guesswork out of Halloween dress up and going as a Whoopie Cushion with this Cool Halloween Costume from Oriental Trading Company.
