Friday Rap Up: Get Your Gift OnOctober 26, 2007Posted by: Julie K. TGIF. You've got your paycheck in hand and we've got a few ideas on how to blow it—on family and friends, of course. But feel free to treat yourself too. Nothing wrong with a little self-gifting. For the weekend kickoff: Gourmet chocolate skulls are the perfect treat for Halloween or Day of the Dead parties. (via Rare Bird Finds) For a ghoulish gamer: Goth: The Game of Horror Trivia–with morbid questions and a graveyard board it'll turn game night into fright night. For the space-crazed kid: An inflatable solar system will make his bedroom out of this world. For the green hipster: Rehabilitated dishware–unwanted ceramics that got a modern makeover. (via Apartment Therapy) For the festive home decorator: Leaf ornaments to take her holiday look from Halloween through Thanksgiving. For your preggers friend: Cool maternity clothes so she can flaunt her bump in style. |
Protect Yourself Against the Zombies!October 25, 2007Posted by: Dana S.
The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection from the Living Dead may very well be your best–and perhaps, only–chance at escaping the menacing grip of zombies this Halloween season. But you don't want to survive alone (whom would you drink pumpkin ale with?), so give The Zombie Survival Guide to your closest friends and family and keep your fingers crossed they heed the good advice! It's a timely gift to give now and any scary movie fan would appreciate it all year round too. |
Paw-fect 1950’s StyleOctober 24, 2007Posted by: Dana S.
Find yourself a 1950's look and you and your furry friend will be ready to hit the sock up…or whatever spooktacular party is on your agenda. |
They’re Alive!October 23, 2007Posted by: Megan H.
Choose a black cat, ghost or pumpkin Nyokki as a special Halloween treat for a friend. Just be sure to keep them away from the paparazzi! |
Treasure TroveOctober 23, 2007Posted by: Dana S.
The pendant features a skull and crossbones cameo with faux pearls and rhinestones dangling from pearl and gold-toned strands. I think it would look equally as awesome with a bodice gown (think Elizabeth Swann) on Halloween as with a blazer and funky combat boots (think Chloe Sevigny) any day of the week. Sure, you could get this for your fave buccaneer for Halloween, or it could make a totally unique gift for a Hipster or Creative Spirit. |
Make a Baby PizzaOctober 22, 2007Posted by: Gillian J.
Dress up your own baby or give to your infant-toting friend. If you know a mom that's been too busy to pick up a costume yet, this gift could be a lifesaver! Trust me, this is one slice of pizza you don't have to feel guilty about the next day! |
Bake an Impressive Cookie BatchOctober 22, 2007Posted by: Gillian J. It takes a lot to get me in the kitchen, and baking? Well, I would rather leave that to Betty Crocker. But it's certainly difficult to resist this Halloween Critters Cookie Press Set. With one cat, one spider, one bat and one pumpkin terracotta stamp, the set actually makes baking Halloween treats look pretty fun. Don't get me wrong, I'm still no Martha Stewart and you won't see me doning an oven mitt anytime soon, but I'm sure the Critter Cookie Press will make the bakers in my life a lovely Halloween gift! And hopefully they'll share their tasty treats (I may not like baking cookies, but I sure enjoy eating them!). |
Yoda Never Looked So GoodOctober 19, 2007Posted by: Dana S.
No room for a canine in your life? Surprise your favorite pup-owning friend with this costume that's sure to be a blockbuster hit! |
Friday Rap Up: Get Your Gift OnOctober 19, 2007Posted by: Julie K.
For the weekend kickoff: Get ready to drink to Halloween with a set of black martini glasses made for witches brew. For the stylish activist: A Pink Pony tank in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month–she'll love knowing that a percentage of the sales supports research and screening programs. For the retro fan: A cassette tape tape dispenser is the perfect thing if she's a frequent crafter or gift wrapper. (via Popgadget)
For the jet-setting cat owner: An easy-to-tote Rocket Bowl Pet Carrier to make sure Fluffy flies in style. For the Halloween diva: A festive Bat Topiary or two will take her party to the next level of spooktacular. (via iVillage) |
Undeadly Fun for the Whole FamilyOctober 18, 2007Posted by: Dana S. With only a couple weeks until Halloween, all the cool kids (and childish adults) are playing with these hard vinyl zombies, complete with blank stares, gaping mouths, open wounds and missing limbs! Turn off the lights and they glow! Edgier (and dare I say better) than Barbie or the Bratz, the Glow-in-the-Dark Flesh Eating Zombie Play Set is the perfect Halloween gift for scary movie fans. Glow-in-the-Dark Flesh Eating Zombie Play Set starting at $14.49 |
