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.

Fashion flip flops you’ll flip for
Unlike most women, I wouldn’t call myself shoe obsessed.
On the contrary, I am shoe incensed. I have a love/hate relationship with shoes and there isn’t anything that irritates me more than spending an insane amount of money on a pair of heels or flats that hurt, pinch and fall apart by the fourth time I wear them.
I want shoes that make a statement.
Shoes that are stylish.
Shoes that are comfortable.
Shoes that have a longer shelf life than the Hidden Valley Ranch salad dressing in my fridge.
I also want shoes that are affordable, which is why I am not splurging on a pair of cool Fashion Flip Flops from Okabashi. Thanks to their low prices, I don’t have to splurge.
Put yourself in my shoes. I know you want to.

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.

My in-laws are in town, my cat is having health issues, my son is going to be nine and I’m a woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
Last week I couldn’t even sign my name correctly on a check, and if you even mentioned the phrase “cranberry relish”, I would sucker punch you in the neck.
My outlook has drastically improved, ever since I found out that I can order a complete Thanksgiving Dinner Delivery For Two à la Gourmet Station.
It’s a saving grace for a wretch like me.

Funny calendars – Betty White calendar adds some fun to your cubicle
Most guys my age have crushes on chicks that are half their age. Pretty young things like Megan Fox, Jessica Biel, Scarlett Johansson… They just don’t do it for me. I need a woman of substance, a woman with a history under her belted pantsuit.
I need Betty White.
Now I can feast my eyes on Betty all year round thanks to Calendars.com and their inspiring collection of funny calendars, my favorite featuring the quintessential funny lady who made those other three Golden Girls look like chopped liver, my beloved Bets.
