Give your loved one a huge tower of chocolate for Valentine’s Day!
Here are the contents:
That should be enough sugar until Easter rolls around huh? I don’t even know what half of those things are, exciting!
Valentine’s Day is coming up quickly, again. You know what that means; flowers and chocolates!
So today I bring you chocolate, and I’m not messing around this time. ZChocolat has quite possibly the World’s best chocolates, as far as I can tell. I was just clicking around their site and it’s seriously impressive stuff. See the little assortment in the drawer in the picture there? I thought that the brown and white things were little boxes that the chocolate came in, but no, that is the chocolate! Each one is individually numbered with a real nice font.
Since I can’t come anywhere close to typing something as magical as they have, here’s what ZChocolat has to say about this 30 piece Mahogany set:
Chocolate Reflections. A very wise man once mused Fortunate is the chocolate thus roaming the world through women’s smiles finds its death over a flavorful and melting kiss in their mouths. This quote by Anthelme Brillat-Savarin comes to life in a most sumptuous way as the 30 chocolates in this selection are unveiled. Two drawers open to reveal a magnificent display of handmade chocolates held in a beautiful mahogany box that is adorned with the French version of Monsieur Savarin’s words. An evening of chocolate and poetry has never been so inviting.
See? So if you have the funds (I know I don’t) and want to show your true love how much she means to you, and if she loves chocolate, then do it the right way!
Here is a more practical gift idea than what I usually put up here. Perhaps it’s because I’m at my desk, which happens to magically gain clutter over time. It’s crazy how it happens!
Do you know somebody like me? Maybe if I had some of these desk organizers this auto-clutter feature of my desk would turn off. Hmm, maybe I’ll get some for myself because they’re half price right now. Woo!
They are made of faux (yes, fake) leather and come in red, black, or brown. The size is 6″ x 6.25″ x 12″ so there is ample room for paper and big envelopes and what not.
While you’re over at Wrapables, check out their other stuff. There are quite a bit of spiffy things to browse. Clickity click here to help somebody organize their desk.
Over the holiday season I had a chance to play the New Super Mario Brothers game for the Nintendo Wii. My goodness it was awesome! It looks and feels a lot like Super Mario Bros. 1, 2, 3, and Super Mario World all combined.
So what makes this one so awesome? Well, of course there is a whole new group of worlds and levels, but there are all kinds of new things as well. If you play multi-player, you get to play at the same time. When I played, it was two of us playing together. You can pick up and throw each other to help get through parts of the level. We found, however, that it was more fun to pick each other up and then proceed to throw the player into a bad guy or down a hole. Good fun!
There are new costumes for the players, and you can play as the traditional Mario and Luigi as well as a couple differently colored Toadstool characters. The fun really doesn’t end. And if you’re like me and would rather play using your thumbs than swinging the controller around, don’t worry, this is played with the classic style controller. There is a bit of shaking involved, but it isn’t extraneous.
So go over to Target.com and pick this game up for you or a friend!
Know somebody who has trouble waking up? Do they even constantly lose the battle with the alarm clock snooze button? Well, you can help them become more punctual in an entertaining way with Clocky!
Here’s how the little guy works. You choose the length of the snooze time from 0 to 9 minutes. Clocky will let you snooze one time. The next time you hit snooze, it’s go time! Clocky will bail off of the nightstand (or any surface safely dropping up to 3 feet) onto your carpet or hard floor and look for a hiding spot, beeping all along the way. The sheer frustration is sure to wake up the snoozy sleeper.
There are plenty of other things Clocky does such as light up the display when you hit snooze when the alarm isn’t activated, warn you well in advance when the battery is low, and can even be put into stationary mode if you don’t want to chase him the next morning.
Well this is awesome. You can give a lucky kid the chance to be the hero Transformer from the latest movies! I still remember my Optimus Prime transformer I had growing up. I don’t remember Bumblebee, but he’s the favorite today for sure. This helmet is pretty sweet. Here’s some highlights of the mask/helmet:
Turn your favorite small person into their favorite Transformer here.
Black Friday 2009 is almost here, so I figured I’d put up some hot sellers for this year. Today we’ve got the Zhu Zhu Pets Hamster. This little dude looks a lot like a real hamster, except it’s yellow and won’t die after a week of wrestling around with kids! I really don’t know much about these except that you can get all kinds of pretty awesome contraptions for these little furballs to run around in.
The links on this post will take you to Amazon’s page of all things by Zhu Zhu Pets. So make all the kids happy by getting them a hamster playground with non-stinking battery powered hamsters!
You may have seen all the commercials. Well, it’s true, the new Playstation 3 is only $299. I still don’t have one for myself, and really need to take advantage of this price.
Of course, the games are all in the neighborhood of $60, but that’s OK because its main purpose for many is as a Blu-Ray DVD player. Hot diggity dog!
So really, there’s not much reason to not get somebody a PS3 as a gift this year, really. It plays movies in 1080p, so if you have a nice new LCD or Plasma TV, hook this puppy up and you’ll be in HD heaven. Merry HD Christmas time!
Since opening this blog a couple years back, I have moved to Central Florida, which is where the magical land of Disney World resides. With Christmas coming up soon, many little girls want nothing more than some great little gifts from Disney.
Check out everything from Hannah Montana dolls to Tinkerbell necklaces to Mickey Mouse phones. There are all kinds of figurines and statuettes representing many Disney characters. This is the real stuff too, no rip offs here. Due to that, the prices are gonna make the purchase count, but the face of the recipient should be well worth it!
So head on over to check out the full line of Disney collectibles.
Cards are a key element of gift giving. These particular cards are designed with corporate birthdays in mind. It’s a nice design that fits any style birthday.
These cards are personalizable, which I don’t think is a word, but I’m going to use it anyway. Why not stock up on birthday cards anyway? See, I say that because the minimum order for these cards is 25. That may be a bit much for the casual gift-giver, but for a company with hundreds of employees, this makes it nice and easy to distribute good wishes on those many special days.
