Finn here again. I’ve got a lot to say. Apparently.
I’m not hard to buy for—if you pay attention. But so many people just don’t. Or at least that don’t pay enough attention. Maybe they realize that I am a perfume whore (The more the merrier, I say and I’m not ashamed). What they don’t get [...]

Chances are, you have at least one person on your holiday list who is an iPhone junky.
You can tell they’re an iPhone junky because you know what kind of freaking cell phone they have. They don’t call you.  They “call you on their iPhone.”  They don’t lose their phone or their cell.  They lose their [...]

Our household consists of one grown woman, one grown man, one four year old girl, and one nine year old boy.
Finding something that the four of us can do together is… let’s say… tricky.
My son, for example, loves the Monopoly board game.  My daughter can’t add or subtract or sit still for a four hour [...]

Listen, I don’t subscribe to the idea that there are girl things and boy things.  While I may be what is typically called a “girly girl”, it’s by choice and not genetic shackling.
If my kids want to play with dolls, trucks or lab rats, I don’t care, as long as I don’t step on it [...]

It seems like the moment you finish buying graduation gifts for the year, wedding season arrives.  Wedding season means buying wedding gifts – or buying a card and sticking money in it while you sit in the church parking lot.

Holy crap, it’s May.  How did that happen?
As the days get warmer and Christmas becomes a distant memory, no doubt your mailbox will soon be filling up with graduation announcements.  Yes, further reminder that time has flown by and it’s time to start thinking about ideas for graduation gifts.  High school and College graduations have [...]

Over on my personal blog today, I’m hosting an online housewarming party for a friend of mine who just moved to Florida.  Like any internet savvy woman, she’s made an Amazon Wish List for herself so that we all have loads of ideas of things to buy for her new house.
If only ever party invitation [...]

Are you looking for the perfect holiday gift idea for women?
Buy her jewelry.
The end.
I mean sure, you can go sentimental with personalized gifts.  Sure, you can show that you understand her concern for the environment with eco-friendly gifts.  And sure, you can get to her heart by way of her stomach with edible foodie gifts.
Or, [...]

I have called my mother a hippie on more than one occasion. (And once I accidentally called her hippy, which is apparently not the same at all and slightly more insulting.  The more you know…)
My mom was eco-friendly before going green was all the rage.
We had a compost heap in our backyard before you could [...]

Yesterday I kicked off the Mother’s Day Gift Guide series with a look at top holiday gift ideas for women to eat.
Today we’re going sappy and sentimental.  And what is more sappy and sentimental than a Mother’s Day Gift that you can put your name on?  It’s like homemade but better because the materials won’t [...]
