Are you looking for Valentine's Day gifts? I know it's just the end of January but time flies and before you know it the day of love will be upon us. Now how many of you run to Walmart at the last minute looking for Valentines Day gifts? Yeah Yeah I've been guilty of it myself. But it just doesn't feel as good as taking the time to find those really special Valentines Day gifts.

Time! Now that is something we all need more of! I know as a busy wife and mom of four, two of which are toddlers, it is not easy for me to go out and spend a lot of time shopping. I spend my time running down two little boys who want to hide under the clothes racks and make mommy think that some nut burger has kidnapped them! So what is my solution?

I shop online and love it! You can find sales and discounts online just like you can in the stores. Many times stores will have web only deals also. I just think you can find more unique things online too. There is a store online I found where you can have a romantic message sent to your sweetie in a bottle. Now that is a unique idea. I found another place with some really hot lingerie and they have nice sleepwear for men too. You men aren't the only ones who like to see folks dressed up for bed (wink wink)! One of the men's pajama sets has been worn on HBO's Entourage. Or, how about a book for couples to spice up and maintain a healthy relationship?

So, if you're a busy gal like me or a busy guy too, there are some great places on line to find your sweetheart the best Valentine's Day gifts.

The King of Queens - The Complete Series

The hilarity of the Heffernan household entertained viewers for nine whole seasons. The popular sitcom stars Kevin James as Doug Heffernan, a delivery man who lives in Queens with his shopaholic wife Carrie (Leah Remini). The couple's life together is turned upside down when Carrie's eccentric father Arthur (Jerry Stiller SEINFELD) moves in with them taking over Doug's cherished TV room and usurping his sports-watching habits. The unusual family arrangement provides laughs and challenges over the next nine eventful years. The entire series is included here. Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating: NR UPC: 043396224520 Manufacturer No: 22452
Customer Review: Great Series, Lovely Packaging but no special features?!!
I love this TV show and this particular boxset is one of the nicest I've seen. I would love to give this 5 stars out of 5 but the lack of special features is extremely disappointing for the price. This set has two special features discs with a couple of short behind the scenes featurettes and the usual cast & crew biog type info. There is only one blooper reel which seems ridiculous for such a funny show with such funny actors that ran for 9 seasons.
Customer Review: Hilarious
I love this show. I'm glad it was in a boxed set. It's fantastic.


Are you enjoying your holidays or do you view them as 'something to get through'? You've suffered through family drama, trauma, lack of money, feeling alone, and lack of confidence and a myriad of other emotions which negatively influenced your holidays.

Just think for a moment of the times that you hurriedly wrote lists, shopped, decorated, cooked (your most famous meal) and presented your best self to all of your guests. You went through the holidays in a flurry of activity almost creating whirlwinds all around you!

Imagine what it would be like to embrace this holiday season with the confidence of knowing you are in charge and that you hold the key to creating joyful holidays. This is easier than you think. Take a few minutes daily to visualize the holiday that you desire. See yourself successfully enjoying and completing tasks.

Beginning with the end in mind is most important to ensure coming close to the result you desire. Now let me assure you that you might still have some negativity crop up, but you will know how to handle it by practicing the three steps below.

1. Know your purpose. Nothing will bring you more joy than knowing who you are and why this holiday is important to you. Look within yourself to find the true meaning of the holiday for you then plan your activities around your truth. Write your list. Look around for opportunities to ask for help in completing your tasks. Set your priorities and follow through.

2. Stop worrying. Stop fearing what may or may not happen. Worrying places all of your energy in the future or the past and saps your enjoyment of "this moment." Visualize your holiday, everything about it in perfect order. Now see yourself doing all of the wonderful things to create the joy you desire. Notice how good you feel as your plan unfolds. Take full responsibility for your desired outcome.

3. Expect joy. Plan each holiday activity with the expectation of creating joy. Whenever you're faced with a decision, how to pair wine and dessert, choose the option that brings you closest to joy. Forgive yourself for anything that you might "miss" while planning your activity. It's okay, this is your creation. Find something good in every situation and learn from it.

Appreciate all that you have and all that you've done. Bust through the myth and make your holidays joyful. Each time you do you create freedom and knowing in your life. You are free from having others determine your holidays and life for you.

Feel the inner peace that comes from knowing who you are and the freedom within. Creating this joyful holiday is an unexpected gift that you'll give to yourself, family and friends. The festive air you've created brings joy and happiness to all.

Now, take some time and indulge yourself in reliving those happy moments. File them away one by one. Pull them out as you need them to give you the support and strength to continue living your life of freedom and joy.

"O Christmas tree,oh Christmas tree
How lovely are thy branches.."

But did you ever wonder about the history of the Christmas tree? Like so many Christmas traditions, the Christmas tree begins in Pagan times.

Pagans did not cut down trees to decorate their homes, as they had too much respect for the living trees for that, but they did decorate live trees with bits of metal and candles at winter Solstice. Romans used the trees, decorated with images of Bacchus, for Saturnalia celebrations.

In Northern Europe, Germanic peoples decorated their trees with candles, apples and other fruit in honor of Woden.

For all these people, the tree represented eternal life.

Although Christian usage of the tree began in Germany in the 16th Century, and German immigrants brought the tradition with them to America in the 17th Century, it did not become popular outside Germanic culture until the 1800's.

In Britain, Queen Victoria had seen Christmas trees as a child, since King George III's German queen had brought the tradition with her. Later, after Queen Victoria married her German cousin, Prince Albert, they celebrated Christmas with trees, and their were many pictures in popular magazines of the royal Christmas trees. The custom spread from there, both in England and in America. By the 1850's, there was a Christmas tree in the White House, and the custom was established for good.

Today, in homes that celebrate Christmas, the tree may take many forms, from the huge live tree to the tiny artificial desktop tree, from realistic to fanciful trees of pink, silver, or white. They may be decorated in paper chains and homemade decorations or symphonies of spun glass and crystal. But for everyone, the trees represent the very spirit of the season and hope for returning and renewing life at the end of each year and beginning of the next.

So, as you load on the ornaments this year, give a toast to the tree and the traditions it stands for.

Necco Sweethearts Conversation Hearts Valentine's Day Gift Boxes Twenty-Seven 1-Ounce Boxes

Great for that special Valentine in your life!


Sooner than we are able to recognize another year has past bye and here comes the Christmas again. For joy and happiness, but also for some thinking and feeling. Christmas brings joy, yes, but it also brings loneliness for some of us.

Christmas is for kids, some say. I do not agree, Christmas is for everyone. Young and old, black and white, for the poor and the rich. Christmas is a time to thank God for the blessings and pain because that is what life is all about.

Most people like to celebrate Christmas with their families or friends. Happy are they who can do so, and I believe most people can. But not everybody are that lucky. And even those who have a family or group of friends to be with have a number one friend I have not mentioned yet, their dog. Mans best friend. Without all the different dog breeds on earth a lot of people would have been much more lonely.

At Christmas we give gift to our friends, and so we also should do to our dog friends. Many of us have been looking for Christmas dog gifts. There are a lot of dog gifts to choose, but to find the right one exactly for Christmas can be harder.

Parents love to come home with a gift for their dog any time of the year, especially at Christmas. Among the most popular dog gifts are chew toys, dog collars and treats, dog Clothes, puppy Supplies. The list is long.

Dog toys are an important part of any dog's life. Toys provide physical exercise, mental stimulation and a way to bond with owners. Are you looking for the right type of toy for your dog, from tough Kong toys to dog toys for miniature dog breeds, the selection are huge. Just to mention chew toys, rope toys, and toys made of latex, rubber, plush and more!

A dog house is the perfect solution for providing your dog with shelter from the elements, whether it be the sweltering summer sun or the cold winter months. Houses for all dog breeds whether you're looking for a large or a small dog house, insulated or igloo style, you are sure to find something that both you and your dog will love!

You can choose to give a Christmas Dog Gifts to your own dog, or you can also give a Christmas Dog Gifts to your friends who owns a dog. Dog owners love to get a gift for their dogs, they often refer to their dogs as "baby", or to themselves, when talking to the dog, as mummy or daddy. Giving the owner of a dog a Christmas gift to their dog will be a great success. Just try it!

There indeed is nothing akin to the original thing and spoiling her can be lovely during this lovely day.

Most if not all women love authentic designer handbags even though budget may have put her off or she's just eyeing it from afar. It's like a women's must-have item in the wardrobe even if it's at least one.

Why would it be a great Valentine's Day gift? Because Valentine's Day is a special occasion and there's no better time to splurge on a gift in the early months of the year!

Here's a secret to getting the most out of your pricey gift as you'll need to get the perfect authentic designer handbag for your significant other. How? By doing a bit of spying of course otherwise you'll end up buying something that does not go well with her dresses and shoes and she'll not enjoy the gift later.

Start by going through your spouse's or girlfriend's wardrobe when she least expects it. Lookout for styles and colors that she likes.

If you can't get into her closet, you'll need to do some observation instead. Start noticing on what she likes to wear most of the time and what type of clothes she buys when you are out shopping with her. This will assist you in selecting the right authentic designer handbag to buy for that Valentine's Day gift.

Take notes if you wish and keep them handy when you go shopping for authentic designer handbags.

Another tip is to get her online to a website selling or showcasing authentic designer handbags and invite her to help you choose one you'll need to buy for your mom as a gift for a formal dinner she intends to go.

Take note of her choices and ask her out of her shortlists, which one she would actually wear if it was she who bought it since she finds it stunning enough on her. You can bet that she won't notice it but she just helped you pick her own Valentine's Day gift and what a moment it would be on the special day itself!

Max's Valentine (Max and Ruby)

Everybody's favorite bunnies celebrate Christmas and Valentine's Day in two adorable shaped board books just right for toddlers. When Santa mixes up their stockings, Max and Ruby are in for a big surprise on Christmas morning! And when Ruby uses all the candy to make her Valentine cards, Grandma makes sure Max gets a very special treat. Sturdy pages, simple stories, and colorful illustrations make these two books a perfect introduction to the world of Max and Ruby.
Customer Review: Another winner from Rosemary Wells
Max's Valentine was a perfect book for my grandchildren, ages 2 and 3. They could identify with the theme and the pictures. Very enjoyable.


Maybe your significant other is overseas in the military. Maybe you have suffered a recent divorce. Whatever the reason, you may find yourself alone this Valentines Day. Does this mean you should sit at home feeling sorry for yourself? I think not. Here are some ideas for people who find themselves alone this year.

1. Take yourself out.

Who says you have to have a member of the opposite sex take you out? I do not see anything wrong with getting all dressed up to go out with the person you should have the most fun with, you. So go put on your best dress or suit and have a night on the town by yourself. At least you wont spend the whole night worrying about whether or not you have salad in your teeth.

2. Go out with your other single friends.

Im sure that you have some other friends that are in the same predicament you are in. Why not call up one of your friends that you havent seen in a while and go out with him or her. I am sure that your friend will appreciate you thinking about him or her.

3. Volunteer at a non-profit.

Sometimes the best way to stop feeling sorry for yourself is to help someone less fortunate. I am sure that there are plenty of nonprofits in your area that would LOVE to have you volunteer for the day. Just type in non-profit organization or volunteer opportunity in your search engine to find an opportunity near you.

4. Offer to baby-sit.

I cant think of a better way to help out a young family with kids than to offer to baby-sit for them so they can enjoy their night out. I mean you werent going to do anything else besides sit at home and wallow in your self-pity, anyway. This way they can owe you one.

5. Send yourself flowers and candy.

Just go to one of the online florists and order a bouquet of flowers and candy sent to yourself. If you could have them sent to your office at work that would be even better. You could even have the card addressed, From Your Secret Admirer. You could act all surprised and wonder who in the world could have done such a nice thing.

6. Adopt a soldier and send him/her a Valentines Day card.

There are several sites online that have resources for you to help American soldiers. http://www.noanie.com is an example of one of these types of sites. I am not affiliated with this website at all, I just wanted to list it here so you could find an address to send your valentines day cards to.

Being alone at Valentines Day doesnt have to be the end of the world. If youre creative, you can find ways to make this day a bearable, maybe even a memorable experience.

Norpro 5-1/2-Inch Garlic Baker

Roasted garlic is all the rage, and for good reason: its sweet, savory flavor adds depth and richness to many dishes and it's an easy appetizer when served with a crusty loaf of bread. This terra cotta garlic baker comes equipped with a basic recipe to get you started. There's even a microwave version, but taking the time in the oven gives the best results. The glazed bottom of the baker is easy to clean and the porous, unglazed lid holds in just enough moisture to bake the garlic until it has carmelized, without drying it out. The baker can also be used to store fresh garlic between uses. --Julija Gelazis
Customer Review: Garlic Baker
This Norpro Garlic Baker performed just as I expected.Room for three large garlic cloves.First I soaked the lid thoroughly and then placed baker in cold oven.Followed instructions on box and roasted garlic to perfection.As garlic is roasting house starts to take on the aroma of a great Italian restaurant and you'll soon get very anxious to try this wonderful garlic on whatever else you think it goes well with. You may also enjoy roasting a large onion in this garlic baker.
Customer Review: Garlic is good
This is great if you love garlic! It's a must have if you do.
