Valentines Day Gifts

So, Clueless Guy contacted me the other day with some advice on for him gifts for this romantic holiday.  He found an article on ESPN…. go figure…… with some helpful ideas.

Although the ideas are mainly for him, my personal fav that is a “for anyone” gift is the Apple !Pod.  And look above……. it’s pink!

I already have the video !Pod but I can honestly say that it never leaves my side.  I love the memory capacity and when I’m on a trip, I can also watch movies.  It’s a great gift for anyone who isn’t afraid of technology.  Sorry Mom, Dad, and Grandma…. maybe this gift isn’t for you.  Oh well, there’s always records.  Or maybe 8 tracks?  Do those still exist?

This valentine’s Day, share the romantic gift of Eros and Psyche. They are two beautiful pieces of jewelry inspired by the love story between Psyche, a mythodical princess of great beauty, and Eros, the God of love.

The neat idea behind the necklaces is that when placed together, they form one single heart. The two halves may be different in size, but yet still compliment each other.

It is a great gift to share this Valentine’s Day!

Remember the old atari systems and games? Yes, I realize it’s going back a few years but I remember how much fun i had, not to mention how many hours I put in.

I don’t realize how fun the old school systems were until they keep coming out with newer systems.

My ultimate goal this Valentine’s Day? To convince my significant other to get me the 2-in-1 Nintendo Nes/SNes system. Not to mention the few necessary games like the Super Mario Series, Mario kart, Dr. Mario, and Donkey Kong….. all my addictions!

In the past, I’ve talked about candles, but how about romantic incense? It’s a great way to romanticize your home or bedroom.  Romanticize?? Is that even a word? I believe it is but if’ it’s not, I have now created it.  Yes, romanticize your home, and well, even your intimate life. YUMMMMM!

If you’re like me though, you like a little bit of feng shui in your life and incense is a great topper for the perfect shui home. There are so many scents and burner set ups that you can colaberate pretty easily with the current decor of your home or bedroom.

And, I’ve even been told that incense is often the perfect afrodisiac. That’s definitely something you can’t go wrong with for this Valentine’s Day and night.

Check this out.  I think I found the perfect Valentines Day gift for the golfer.  Golfballs.com has come out with an easy way to create personalized golf balls.  How cool would it be to get golf balls with your name on it?  Or some sort of personal double entendre message like “Hit it Hard Baby” or “Keep it Straight” or “Put it in the Hole” or…well, I could go on forever. Actually, not only can you personalize golf balls, but also hats, towels, bags, and shirts.  Great Valentines or Fathers Day gift.

Do you ever go through your photo albums and think that you just can’t get enough of seeing your favorite candids?  There’s been some photos I have of family or friends that I know I could just stare at all day.

And, better yet…… I could stare at my favorite photo while staying all warm and cozy.  Ah yes……. a photo blanket.  It’s actually a neat idea and one that’s for anyone.  The neat thing is that TreasureKnit offers not only blankets, but pillows, bags, collages, and even towels.

Happy New Year, everyone!  Sorry it’s been awhile……. 

I know Clueless Guy and I have mentioned going out to dinner on maybe more than one occasion but it’s one of my favs and can also be romantic.  One of my favorite places to go is Red Lobster.  I can never get enough seafood and the Lobster is the best place that’s not so expensive to dine at.

While you’re there, don’t forget to try their famous Lobsterita and the strawberry passion colada.  I know it’s one of Clueless Guy’s personal favs.

And, if you’re not sure if Valentine’s Day is the right day to go out, Red Lobster also has gift cards.                   

Happy New Year everyone!  I hope everyone had a safe and fun New Year’s Eve and is ready to have an incredible 2008!

One of my buddies last night had a Nintendo Wii party at his house to ring in the new year.  I didn’t go to it (lured by another party which had a pool table and hot tub), but I’m very jealous that he has the Wii.  Those sports games seem so cool.  And I know it’s not the most romantic gift in the world, but it might be something fun you can do together as a couple - and what could be a better Valentines Day Gift than just spending time together?  (Was that a little too mushy?)

Ah, yes, the carousel.  Clueless Guy, I’d have to agree.   It was a cool gift!  My best gift was actually mentioned in an earlier post.  I was lucky enough to get a new tempur-pedic bed with a new headboard and all.  It is so comfortable and has gotten very nice reviews.  The salesman that sold us the bed said that if you need to call customer service for whatever reason, there is only 1 of a total of 2 people on staff.  In other words,  they rarely ever get phone calls.

I’ve had the bed for about a week now and it’s been broken into quite nicely.  I have to say that if your bed is “killing” you at night, invest in a tempur-pedic and I think you’ll be very happy!

With Christmas now in the rear view mirror, it’s time to look forward to Valentines Day, only seven weeks away.  Are you ready?  Well, probably not, so we aim to give you some more ideas.

My favorite gift that I got for Christmas this year was something called a liquor carousel.  Basically it’s an easy way to pour up to six bottles with perfect 1.5 oz pours.  I’m not sure where it came from, possibly Sam’s Club.

Obviously this gift would be a perfect Valentines Day gift for anyone who enjoys a drink every now and then, and any other time between now and then.

What was your favorite gift?
