Oh NO! Not again

I'm wondering.... does anyone else question where the year went? Wasn't it just Thanksgiving? What the heck happened to summer. The Christmas season is looming - talk about turkey, parties and the 'what to get for them' gift questions.

Good gift ideas are hard to come by, so once again, here is our weekly installment of suggestions. Today, we visit one of our favorite stores and then throw a couple more in for good measure.

The LCBO - Liquor Control Board of Ontario, the place where those who live in this fine Province must go to purchase liquor - is working to make gift giving easier. This year they offer an online catalog and online purchasing - hummm, that got your attention didn't it.

We've through a picked out a couple of the cooler ideas.

#1) The Mazzetti Ferrari F2003 Grappa, for $99.95: This year’s bottle contains a model of the 2003 GA world-champion race car, immersed in exquisite Grappa di Grignolino.
#2) The Denoix Cognac Colt Gift Bottle for $129.95: Filled with Denoix Napoleon Grand Champagne Cognac.
#3) The Grolsch Lager package with art glass, for 12.99: A Dutch tradition since 1615, refreshing Grolsch Premium Lager comes in a specially designed six-pack, along with a fun, colourful art glass.

Now, gifts for the ladies. We've also done some research, girls, feel free to leave little hints to those who wish to pamper you silly with gifts.

#1) Bare Necessities offers bras, panties, men's underwear, hosiery and sleepwear from 100+ name brands. They offer a selection of over 2000 styles spans luxury designer fashions to everyday traditional styles and includes top brands like La Perla, Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, Puma, Dolce & Gabbana, Wacoal and Bali. Yes, they ship to Canada. (remember, no duty on goods manufactured in the US, however, they may be subject to Provincial sale tax and GST)

#2) La Vie enRose now offers online shopping as well. A recognized brand in Canada. The site offers weekly specials, contests and promotions.

#3) How could we leave 'Come as You are' off our gift giving list. Shop online or in person at one of their stores. For those of you who missed our postings in the past. The philosophy at Come As You Are is one in where they believe that sexuality is an intrinsic part of the human experience and is inseparable from other aspects of a person's life. Their online store is both informative and fun.

We'll continue working on a Christmas ideas list for you. In the meantime, feel free to share your suggestions with us. We can't be everywhere, all the time.

On other fronts.... Now pay attention - you know who you are..... my dear friend with the absolute expertise in putting together an outfit. It's been bothering me all week..... if you can't wear black stockings with red shoes, what can you wear? I personally look hideous in 'nude' or 'beige', does that mean that I can't wear my red shoes? Help! Seriously.... I need to know.

Have a Happy Cherry Day!
