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.

Elvis pillow for Elvis Presley fans like me

There are two types of people in this world - Elvis fans and Elvis haters.

My co-worker Nigel is an Elvis hater, although Nigel hates almost everything… including watermelon and unicorns. I fall into the first category, a loyal fan of the King’s, ever since I marveled at his waist up performance on the Ed Sullivan show in 1956. Decades later, Elvis and I would share a special moment together in Hawaii when I accidentally plowed into a tall, dark and handsome man with a killer pair of mutton chops. True story.

I’ve been wanting to add a little bit of rock and roll into my home decor, so I’m all shook up over this Elvis Pillow from Image Design & Furniture Co. Now I can lay my head on Elvis’s shoulder and reminisce about our lovely Hawaiian getaway.

Rock em Sock em Robots will rock your robot socks off

I’ve always had a fondness for games that allow me to beat other people up - Mortal Kombat, Virtual Fighter, Mike Tyson’s Punch Out… they always helped me feel triumphant and invincible, even though outside of the cyber fighting world I was completely powerless (my underdeveloped bicep is still recovering from being overthrown in an arm wrestling match against my brother two decades ago).  

Aside from all of the lethal video games on the market, I always wanted a Rock em sock em Robots game for Christmas. Like little Ralphie Parker from A Christmas Story and his coveted Red Ryder BB gun, the object of my obsession was the original TKO classic that is now on sale at the Vermont Country Store. I still don’t know why I never got one. It’s not like I could’ve shot my eye out with it.

Yiddish with Dick and Jane for Yiddish fun for everyone

My Yiddish isn’t great. Every time I go home to visit my mother she kvetches about it, which makes me feel like a total putz. So I’ve made a pledge to brush up on my Yiddish before my next trip home with a little help from Yiddish with Dick and Jane, an adorable little gift book from Challah Connection.

Jane is in real estate.
Today is Saturday.
Jane has an open house.
She must schlep the Open House signs to the car.
See Jane schlep.
Schlep, Jane. Schlep.
Schlep, schlep, schlep.

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.

Spock action figure for Spock loving trekkies

Hello Earthlings, don’t be alarmed. I come in peace.
I am the Spock Action Figure from Entertainment Earth. I am the son of Vulcan ambassador Sarek and human mother Amanda Grayson, at least according to Wikkipedia. I served on the USS Enterprise for eleven years under the command of Captain Christopher Pike and continue to serve aboard the ship as science officer and first officer. Until recently, I have served under James T. Kirk as my Captain, but he is on temporary leave while biding his time as a crochety lawyer on Boston Legal.

I have come on this journey to plug my new blockbuster Star Trek film (in theatres now), my collectible action figure, and of course, to beseech you all to live long and prosper.

Draw horses book brings out your inner horse artist

Before I had dreams of becoming a professional published writer, my stall was filled with other big dreams. When I was a little girl, the creative artist in me used to flip through to the last page in every comic book or magazine that featured those odd You Can Do It drawing contests. Remember those? They were my one-way ticket to fame. All I had to do was capture the essence of that one turtle and/or pirate pictured, and I would astound the judges. They would drop their paintbrushes, recognize my artistic gift and a career in the art world would be mine.

I never won any of those contests and have since given up on drawing turtles and pirates both, but they were never my favorite subject anyway. My passion was always drawing horses, and now I can with this Anyone Can Draw Horses book from Back in the Saddle.
