The Gift of Glee!

November 6, 2009
Posted by: Gillian J.

Glee TV SoundtrackYes I will admit it – I am a certified “Gleek.”  The show is cheesy, unrealistic and cheesy (worth saying twice.) And I love every minute of each episode!  Any show where the underdog gets to win AND sing is a show I have to watch. 

They all sound great in the soundtrack – better than they did at the World Series. But who cares about that because Glee doesn’t belong in the real world – it’s where we go to escape from the real world. And this new soundtrack does the trick in between episodes! It's a great little gift to surprise the music lover on your list. 

Glee: The Music Soundtrack starting at $11.55

The Science of Love

Why Him? Why Her? Finding Real Love By Understandting Personality TypeWe here at Gifts.com are big believers in personality types when it comes to gifting. But according to Helen Fisher's latest book "Why Him? Why Her?: Finding Real Love By Understanding Your Personality Type", personality plays a very large and unconscious role in the dating game. 

As the chief scientific adviser for Chemistry.com and a research professor of anthropology at Rutgers University, Fisher has done countless research interviewing people all over the world and ended up with an extensive questionnaire to help people figure out their personality type. According to Fisher there are four general personality types: the Builder, Explorer, Director and Negotiator. Each are dictated by different chemical systems in the brain. So we look for partners who are both are opposites and counterparts. So maybe it's not always think with your head and not with your heart. And with Valentine's Day right around the corner, it's the perfect gift for that best friend who's still looking for Mr.Right.

Cranium WowSome of my friends might say I can get a wee bit competitive when it comes to board games. Maybe I've collected a lot of pop trivia over the years, am amazing at drawing with my eyes closed, or have an underestimated grasp on pretend real estate, either way, they're a great way for kids and adults alike to spend an evening TV free.

One of the newer games on the market and my hands down personal favorite is Cranium WOW. This most recent edition test your skills in many embarrassing and surprising ways.  With 600 cards and 15 activities, you have to hum, sing, draw, act, sculpt and your solve your way to the center of the board. Kids will love the silliness of the game and adults will never play charades again. If you're a fan of the classic games, check out some of the newer editions with a twist like Pictionary Man, Monopoly: Here and Now: The World Edition, and Sorry Sliders. So whether it's any occasion, you can't go wrong with the gift of fun.

Bop Basics Sophia Bush Breast Cancer Awareness TeeAs someone who has been deeply affected by breast cancer, I don’t think there can ever be too much done to promote awareness. With all the bags, hats and fanny packs out there I was relieved to find something I show my support and actually want to wear. So when I saw these fabulous Breast Cancer Awareness Tees, I knew I had to get one!

Not only are they fun to wear, but they all donate a portion of proceeds to reputable breast cancer charities. The jersey burnout tees are all pink and each has an individual design (chain graphic, superwoman logo, high-heel pump) created by a female celebrity (Nicky Hilton, Sophia Bush, Denise Richards). Check out all Think Pink gear to show your support.
