All you do is upload your favorite family, pet, or personal photos to the website, and they will produce this sturdy Rubik's Cube - and it actually works!  Mix up the sides and have a blast trying to get the pictures reassembled.

You can use up to six special photographs, one for each side of the cube.  This is the perfect gift for parents and grandparents, especially those who are far away and don't get to see their family as often as they would like.  Or you could give it to a pet lover with pictures of their favorite dogs, cats, horses, or whatever animals they hold dear.

Whether you're shopping for a spouse, parent, family member, or friend, this Rubik's Cube is a gift that just about everyone will love.

What the Heck is a Slanket?

I had a friend who is as concerned as I am about rising fuel prices and almost impossible to buy for.  She knits for a lot of the winter, and is always complaining about being cold, but she doesn’t like to cuddle under an afghan, as it makes it harder for her to stay warm while she’s knitting.

I got her a slanket.  Told her I was getting her one and everything.  She eyed me like I had three heads, thinking that it was another one of my hare-brained ideas that’d find its way either to the attic or a re-gift, like the weird clock with the lobster tail as a pendulum.

Nope, not this time.

A slanket is a blanket, but it has sleeves!  This means you can throw the blanket over yourself to flop down on the sofa to read, knit, work on your laptop or whatever, but instead of having to wear the blanket like a cape and have your front cold, the slanket covers you in fron and keeps the warmth in while having sleeves to let your arms be free. 

As a writer, I often use one when I’m working on my laptop. Cuddled under a slanket with a lap desk, I’m cosy as can be and not distracted by chills or drafts even in the worst of Northern New England storms.  In fact, it keeps me so warm that I’ve abandoned my fingerless gloves when typing, which is an absolute delight to my working habits.

With the rising fuel costs, a lot of people want to lower their thermostats and try to save money, but who wants to be uncomfortable, right?  With the slanket, you’ll have a fantastic wintertime gift sure to please anyone who likes saving money, but wants to be able to work with her hands, too.

Porn For Women

080725-porn-for-women.jpg

 

Strolling through the bookstore recently I came upon a little book with an alluring title … Porn for Women. Of course, I couldn’t help myself and discreetly picked the book up to take a quick peek. What I found inside was truly erotic … pictures of shirtless men in a variety of unusual and strangely sensual positions, such as vacuuming, dusting, cooking, ironing, and even cleaning the cat box! Oh my, is it getting hot in here?!  Alongside each 'pornographic' picture was the kind of dirty talk that will get every woman revved up at the turn of each page, things like …

        Have another piece of cake … I don’t like you looking so thin.

        Want to snuggle?

        As soon as I finish the laundry, I’ll go grocery shopping with the kids so you can relax.

        The NFL playoffs are today, I bet we’ll have no trouble parking at the crafts fair now.

        As long as I have legs to walk on, you’ll never have to take out the garbage.

Now, that’s what I call erotica!  This brilliant and hilarious book was created by the editors at the Cambridge Women’s Pornography Cooperative in order to challenge what sexy really is and to show men everywhere what women really want from their men.

In addition to their first book, you can now get their latest edition, Porn for New Moms, as well as a postcard book with all your favorite 'porn' shots, and soon the new 2009 wall calendar will be available for purchase. This is the perfect gift for any woman on your list who loves a clean house, ironed clothes, and a sexy, sensitive man to fantasize about!
