Fragrance ball of honey

fragrance ball

Fragrance balls filled with honey scented fragrance sachets

When I walk in the front door after a hard day at work, I would love to be greeted with the smells of clean linens, warm cookies in the oven and spicy, intoxicating fragrances. Since I live with a teenage son and a fiesty labrador retriever, I’m usually greeted with the scent of eau de wet dog or parfum de dirty sneakers.

I love lighting sweet smelling candles around the house, but leaving a flame unattended while I’m at work isn’t an option, (especially considering my quirky smoke detectors) which is why I am obsessed with this lovely Fragrance ball from Chesapeake Bay Candle.  It’s a fragrant life saver, making my home sweet home smell like a home sweet home, masking and overpowering any other disenchanting aromas.

This beer has your name on it

custom beer glass

Custom beer glass for custom beer drinking

I completely missed the beer boat this Father’s Day.

When looking for the perfect masculine gift, it never really occurred to me to gift dear old Dad with personalized barware. An ideal gift for any man who has had his brewski swiped from right under his nose, this Custom Beer Glass from Personal Creations not only looks cool (like some awesome beer experiment you wish you could have worked on in physics class), but it can be personalized with up to 9 characters and can hold up to 32 ounces of ice cold beer.

Now we’re talking beer business.

ET Phone Flask home

phone flask  

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.

Oy vey

yiddish with dick and jane

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.

It’s all in the card cases

crystal business card holder

Crystal business card holder holds women’s business cards in style

We’re all getting new business cards this week, and I’m excited.  I love making new business contacts, almost as much as I love me a good peach martini (and the inevitable karaoke that soon follows). So in preparation of my brand spanking new executive business cards, I’m rewarding myself with this pretty women’s Crystal Business card holder from Add A Link of Charm that will express my love for both business, and pleasure.

I have balls of steel

tattoo golf balls

Golf ball sets featuring cool metallic golf balls

Things can get pretty stressful here at work, especially at the end of the month. I’m working overtime closing deals, helping clients and dealing with a dog at home who’s losing his teeth. When times are tough and I’m feeling overwhelmed, I have a secret for staying calm, cool and collected. I just squeeze my ball.

Whether I’m squeezing my therapeutic stress balls or hitting golf balls down the fairway, playing with my balls always makes my problems go away, especially when I’m playing with my Chrome Golf Ball Sets from Tattoo Golf – the masters of aggressive golf wear and accessories.

Off the cuff

forever necklace

Forever necklace cuffs to wear forever and a day

I’m guilty… of love in the first degree.

Formerly I was your average, ordinary law abiding citizen, but I have since been accused of various crimes of passion. If loving my boyfriend is wrong, I don’t want to be right. So go ahead and cuff me officers, preferably with these Forever Necklace Handcuffs from Add a Link of Charm.

Blooming Spring flowers in full bloom

blooming spring flowers

Blooming Spring flowers to spring on your Mom this Mother’s Day

Being a mom is often a thankless job.

As a Mom you get thrown up on, drooled on and snotted on, and that’s when your kids are in High School. We rarely remember to thank our Mothers for raising us, cooking us delicious nutritionally balanced meals, washing behind our ears and for teaching us right from wrong. When the second Sunday in May arrives, the least we can do to express our appreciation is to send our Mothers a rocking arrangement of flowers…ones that weren’t stolen from her treasured rosebush or the neighbor’s garden.

Celebrate her day this Mother’s Day with this It’s Your Day Blooming Spring flower arrangement from Beyond Blossoms and she’ll be beyond happy, she’ll be perennially happy.

Get well fruit basket saves sick girl’s life


pemberton get well fruit baskets

These Get Well fruit baskets make fresh n’ fruity get well gifts

I was a sick girl last week.

It was bad. I looked like hell,  felt like I had been hit by Chris Brown and came very close to calling the Department of Disease Control because I was convinced I had somehow contracted bird flu.

I couldn’t eat, couldn’t drink and it hurt to blink. Naturally my work suffered, but I am now back on track and in a state of total recovery thanks to this Get Well Fruit Basket my co-workers sent me from Pemberton Farms. It made my day. They must think I’m pretty sic.

Snuggie with me

snuggie

Snuggie ™ fleece throws for single snuggling situations

Sometimes you just need a snuggle.

Whether you’re sick, having a bad day or experiencing unfortunate digestive problems, snuggling makes it all better.  I am not embarrassed to admit that I am a self-professed Snugglepuss. I love cozying up on the couch Sunday mornings with a warm blanket, my man and a hot cup of extra bold coffee. The only problem with snuggling? You can’t always go it alone. Snuggling often requires a partner.

Well I’ve got news for all you loner snugglers, I just saw an infomercial for an amazing new snuggling sensation that will allow us all to snuggle solo! The Snuggie Fleece Throw from abc distributing isn’t just a snuggly blanket. It features sleeves that keep your upper body totally covered while your hands and arms are still free to move, so you can snuggle all by your lonesome until you’re as snug as a bug in a snuggie.

Do me a favor

 recycled wedding favors

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.

I’ve got nice jugs

clark gable royal doulton mug

Character jugs that really show some character

Frankly Scarlett, I don’t give a damn about the economy.

It’s been a bad fiscal year for me and all of my fellow Americans. I’ve lost an exorbitant amount of money in only a few short months, and I’m only a few transactions away from selling all of my clothes on Ebay and coming to work wearing a barrel. I’m through with 401K’s, IRA’s and all that other financial mumbo jumbo. From now on I’m only investing in priceless collectibles, like my nice jugs.

Not those kinds of jugs (although my other jugs are pretty captivating too, according to my boyfriend). I have an amazing collection of Royal Doulton Toby jugs, mugs, figurines and collectibles that are going to be worth millions one day.

Hopefully sooner than later.
