Valentine's Day Gift Ideas for Guys and Gals!

You have just two weeks to pick out the perfect gift that will let the love of your life know exactly how you feel. So let's put on our thinking caps and see if we can find that one special thing that will bring a smile to your lover's face. (And, hopefully, my little parenthetical wise cracks will put a smile on YOUR face.)

First off, there's always CHOCOLATE. Here's a suggestion for those who are on a budget. And here's something for those with a little more cash in their pockets: you can't go wrong with Godiva! (And you might have something like this as a backup. Wait! On second thought, maybe not.)

Candles are always nice! This one offers a written message along with romantic mood lighting (after you light it, of course). If you feel up to baking a cake, these would be perfect. (On the other hand, this one shouldn't be purchased by ANYONE as it'll just get you into trouble.)

If you're looking to spice things up a little in the bedroom, try this. Ladies, here's a version for your man (Don't you just love the name? Yes, feel free to go back and have a second peek). If you're looking for something a little more risqué, how about this? (But this is definitely going way too far...because it looks a little painful.)

Now for some way out, wacky suggestions: This and this would probably get you into trouble. But this "kiss on a chain" or this emerald set would surely melt the heart of your special someone. And, guys, there is absolutely nothing more romantic than popping the question on Valentine's Day! (Unless, she has an allergy problem. If that's the case, keep your questions to yourself.)

And, ladies, if your man forgets Valentine's Day altogether…buy him this…and give him the works. I guarantee, next year he'll remember.

I hope I gave you some good suggestions...and offered you a chuckle or two. 

Why are you still reading? Get your shopping done. Now!

Have a Happy Valentine's Day!

Graduation Gift Suggestions

My niece is graduating from high school in just a couple of weeks. I intend to give her cash (what graduate doesn't light up at the sight of money?), but I also want to give her some sort of little memento. A keepsake that will remind her of how proud I am of her.

If you have a high-schooler in your life who's graduating, here are some inexpensive gift suggestions I found on Amazon:

                                                    

                                                     

                                                    

                                                     


                                                    

Gift Suggestion for Mother's Day

Don't forget your mom this Mother's Day, which is celebrated here in the US this coming Sunday, May 13th!

If your mom is a big reader (like me!), I'd like to suggest you splurge and buy her a Kindle Fire, Full Color 7" Multi-Touch Display with WiFi. I have one, and I love it! Not only do I use it to read, read, read, but I also use it to watch television shows and movies using the Netflix app I downloaded.

There are hundreds - no, thousands - of free ebooks she can download and enjoy. One of them is a Mother's Day anthology called Memories of Mom. Download it today! (And don't forget all those Donna Fasano romance novels that will surely offer your mom hours and hours of reading pleasure! Heh-heh!)

So don't forget your mom this Sunday! She brought you into this world, she powered your butt and warmed your strained peas. She also hauled you around to all those soccer games. She deserves some recognition.
