Valentines Day Gifts part2

Sorry for not putting this up sooner, but I sick for a couple days, and I have been so busy getting prepared for the move, my brain is on overload!

So, here another gift edition, leaning towards the men. So, what do we get our wonderful significant others? Usually, men are pretty easy to please. Now a great gift is going to surround what your boyfriend is into. But, generally speaking guys are usually into electronics. So, you really can't go wrong with that.


My first recommendation is going to be for the gamer! As a girlfriend I am sure you've felt a little competition with your boyfriends Xbox, or PS3. All it takes a is a little COD, or Black Ops to make you totally invisible. When you complained, did he offer to let you play? If you're not a gamer chick, you probably didn't like that suggestion to much. Well, I would definitely recommend getting the Kinect. It's not like any other system you've used before. You don't need controllers, it's not comparable to the WII, or the Playstation Move! It's absolutely awesome!
I've never been amazed with a gaming device before until this. I mean, there's dancing games, workout games, and games for the kids. If you're one of those people who likes to get up and move, you will enjoy this thing! I'm sure you've seen the commercials, and if you haven't.. Here you go!

So, here's what the kinect looks like, and that's all you need. They're around $150.00 and they usually come with a game, the game is pretty awesome. as well.


So onto another gift idea.

Apple Ipad
Price:$ 499.00 and up

These are definitely the most talked about gadget of 2011 thus far! I personally do not own one, but have heard wonderful reviews. It's amazing where technology has gone.

Since the release of the Ipad, obviously many competitive electronic companies have start their quest to out the IPAD.

If you're a sprint customer, the Samsung Galaxy Tablet is currently priced at $300.00.



Now this Tablet offers a camera, which is not offered by the Apple Ipad. One huge difference in the who, is that the Tab offers Flash Player, where as the Ipad doesn't. (Not yet anyway).


So... Moving forward.

There's always the generic gifts you can give. Cologne, Wallets, Watches, ties, and underwear (What man doesn't need underwear.)

But, you can do things like, Upgrade your boyfriends phone. Buy him those shoes he's been talking about. You could upgrade his DVD player to Blu Ray, if he hasn't done so already. For car lovers, you can purchase detailed car cleanings, or purchase upgrades for their car.

The best part about gifts, is you can make it your own. You can do WHATEVER you want. And as long as you're being selfless, and genuine, your significant other is going to appreciate it. Whether it's making him a wonderful dinner, and dressing up in some lingerie, or booking a cruise they're going to love you no matter what.

Nooks and Kindles?

Is your girlfriend the kind who reminds you of Belle, from Beauty and the Beast? She would love to have a library, and randomly the entire town sings about how her nose is constantly in a book?

Okay, Okay.. Maybe we're being a tad over dramatic. BUT, if you do live with a girlfriend who has TONS of books, and the collection keeps growing then technology is definitely your friend.

I am sure you've seen The Kindle, and The Nook. But those can be kind of pricey. For a short time, Bed Bath & Beyond is having a wonderful sale. They're E-Reader is currently priced at $39.99.
I would definitely move quickly, because a lot of people are gobbling these puppies up, especially since they're currently about 70% off the original price! Check your local stores as well, because they may have them in stock. If they do, you can go to the website (click here) and in the bottom left hand corner you can sign up with your email address, and print off a coupon for 20% off one single item (to be used in store only) which will reduce this awesome price even more! Otherwise they are available for a limited online at this wonderful price. So don't hesitate!


Happy Shopping--

Good thing Winter only comes Once a Year.

Spring is just around the corner. Thank Goodness! I am getting over these freak snow storms, and cold weather. I am so ready for warmer weather. I can't wait to get some color in the plants. With Spring comes showers, flowers, and Shoes! Come on, what girl DOESN'T love shoes? I have to admit, my favorite shoes are wedges. Luckily, Spring is the time of year when I can bust those bad boys out. They're so easy to slip on, and and much more kid friendly since I have a toddler to chase around.



So what I have for you today, is a Steal of the Week.

Christian Louboutin
Price: Unknown

I love these Wedges. I think they're so beautiful. But, we all know these bad boys will break the bank. For me anyway, I just can't justify spending that much with a toddler. So I have some wonderful alternates.

Rai03 Patent Wedge Shoes
Price: $19.10

These Wedges are definitely comparable to the Loubs! And the best part is, you can order them now, and you don't have wait for the spring launch, and you can use all that money saved for more shoes!

Qupid Voyage

Price: Sale $19.97

I love the details on this wedge with a small delicate buckle, and the cross hatch design on the wedge itself. There are many alternatives with the Cork Wedge, but I love the look on this one.


Another thing about summer is the opportunity to wear beautiful and bright colors. So, to avoid looking to colorful, on those days when you're tired of black or white shoes, I definitely recommend investing in some Nude color wedges. Now, nude colors work wonderful in the spring when you're wear shorts dresses/skirts/shorts. Nude shoes, will create the illusion of longer legs, especially if the heels are the same color as the shoe itself. This Cork Wedge will work also.

Chinese Laundry
Price: $ 59.95

I hope your year is off to a wonderful start!
