Gift Ideas!

Well, yes, of course this is under the category Female Sex Symbols. If Lady Boop doesn’t represent sexiness I’m not sure who does. I mean look at the come-hither looks she throws around.

The Betty Boop Musical Figurine, above, is from Avon.com and would make any room instantly cooler. She’s so freakin’ adorable!

From the Website:

Decked out in a glittery dress and a red hat, this musical Betty Boop just wants to be loved by you. Takes one button-cell battery (included). 6″ H. Resin.

She plays the song, “I Wanna Be Loved By You.”

Boop-Boop-Pe-Do!

Although I wasn’t born until the Sixties, I have always been fascinated with the fifties - the clothes, the music, the hair…what an amazing time it must have been to live during! This calendar celebrates this whole magical, memorable era in each of the beautiful pictures. I’m absolutely crazy in love with the cover of the calendar!

I have an aunt who would absolutely flip for this calendar - it’d make a perfect Christmas present.

I’m sure I’ve told you before about the fascination I have with calendars. Can’t explain it, really, but they send me. I get a kick out of mine each and every time I look at them…which is, frankly, every day of the year!!! So, I put a lot of thought into shopping for my calendars - I want something that’ll make me smile all year long. That’s the main reason they make such amazing Christmas gifts, too - you know they’ll think about you every day of the year, each time they look at it!

I’ve found several ones I’ve fallen in love with - I’ll be posting them on the blog over the next few days.

The one below isn’t really Hollywood-related, but it’s too cool to leave out. I love the whole nostalgic vibe it’s putting off!

I also love the vibrant colors and pictures - very, very cute.

Below is what the front of the calendar looks like:

These Elvis & The Beatles Collectible Salt and Pepper Shakers would make any Elvis and Beatles fan twist, shout, and generally just rock it out. Click the image or the link to take a closer look. I believe the web site also has matching mugs - at least they did at one time! I’m afraid I was distracted this time by these adorable salt and pepper shakers. Like a lot of people, my mom always collected S&P shakers. These would be a deliciously original addition to such a collection!

Okay, you all ready know how obsessed I am with I Love Lucy (and with all things that have anything to do with Lucille Ball, for that matter). So, imagine how I’m flipping out for the goodies you see in this post. These little stick people are the cutest things I’ve seen since I saw my cat jump at the sight of his shadow earlier. There’s a good reason he’s named Svenn rather than Killer or Conan.

The I Love Lucy Waste Can “Stick Figures” Style (above) is made of tin and measures about 10 inches tall x 8.5 inches in diameter at the mouth. Too amazingly cute!

Then, there’s the I Love Lucy I’m Home Sign (below) - another Must Have.

But, husband (who I’m sure is sitting with credit card in hand as he hums The Christmas Song) - take note. I want the I Love Lucy Doll Stick Figure Poseable Lucy below first of all. I’ll positively have a blue, blue Christmas without her. Is she cute or what?!?!?

You’ll find many, many, many more I Love Lucy goodies featuring the adorable stick people by clicking any of the links in the post. I’d post more pictures and links, but I’ve got to go write Santa. I’ve got to let him know how good I’ve been…after I polish my halo, that is. Chores come first.
