The Albums You Must Give: Part 1/2


If someone you know has not experienced the Florence And The Machine album, Lungs, please throw some wrapping paper on it and call it a day. It's my female album of the year (male to come tomorrow.) and bookended with non-stop eargasms. It's $5.99 and beyond incredible. I can't believe I forgot to give this to my mom. Next time. Mom, your prepare to have your Camry rocked.

The Gift That Keeps On Giving

Every time I see one of these sweet little 5 Year Memory Books in a store, I think, I should buy that, but I need a really special day to start it, like January 1, or my birthday. Well, I suppose Christmas or your Jewish Hanukkahs work just as well. This would be a fabulous gift for someone whose thoughts (or sketches) you might actually care about revisiting, or hell, just get it for yourself. As many gifts as I like to buy for others during the holidays, I swear I double the amount by purchasing lots of impulse crap for myself. I'm a sucker for a sequin!

This is just the little video I needed today.



Thanks, Meghan!

In other news, I only have a few more weeks to fulfill my 2010 wish for Bert to become an internet sensation. I think his sheet skating video will need to hit the interwebs soon. Stay tuned!

Back To Biznass: Gift Guide

Tonight was my family's Hanukkah party and as much of a festive tradition as always, with dinner, donuts, and a decadent amount of presents. My mom and I have a thing where even though we stockpile presents all year, we both separately get panic-stricken that we don't have enough, buy a bunch the day of the party, and then take hours wrapping and arrive tardy to the party. Well I was the only one late this year but who's counting. Anyway, some great ideas for presents.

Not every gift has to be tangible. My brother and sister-in-law 's special restaurant is Simply Fondue. It's where they have celebrated many milestones and even got engaged. So when I noticed a Grouponicus deal for the restaurant, I told my mom and she snagged a $50 for $25 deal there. One printout later, and the recipients were thrilled, even mentioning a recent drive-by and a "we should go there sometime." Well, sometime is now.

More pics and ideas to come. But check Groupons and Grouponicus and Living Social, etc. for other ideas, like nights out, concert/event tickets, dance class coupon, etc. etc. Experiences are amazing gifts, too!

OMG WHY DOES THIS WOMAN SOMEHOW REMIND ME OF ME?

"Most people are still really amazed that I can make a full-time living off of about five inches."

Ummmm. Honey, I've got one word for you. And it rhymes with "corn."

I'm sorry, my gift post was suddenly sidetracked by this eerie yet intriguing, awkward video of hand model Ellen Sirot I found on Buzzfeed.



It's just all so...
