In my design handbook, lipstick red barstools are heart-stoppers.

Write sweet nothings, then blow-dry your paper to erase the message; freeze to make the message reappear.

Less permanent than an invisible ink tattoo, but no less romantic.

Inkbloom’s printable fabrics are such an innovative product…wouldn’t you like to win a set for yourself?

In the last year I’ve ordered cards from Paper Culture for several occasions. A friend’s baby shower, birthday parties, Valentine’s day cards and of course our annual family Christmas cards. I love ALL of the designs from this cool new personalized card site. The designs of the cards are amazingly sophisticated and stylish. The best thing is that they will address and mail the cards for you. They will also add a personalized greeting, which by the way has sent many compliments my way. And yes, I am happy to take the credit!

If you are shopping for Valentine’s Day cards, Paper Culture will donate 100% of this year’s Valentine’s Day Card proceeds to Haiti Relief. This is a wonderful way to send a Valentine’s greeting to your loved ones and to help send relief to those in need.

You have no idea how much I wanted to post this champagne cork parachute for Valentine’s Day.  I had a whole narrative planned about attaching an engagement ring to the parachute, which would sail expectantly, gently down to earth as she squealed unearthly delights.

Alas.  Since this is only like, THE most popular item at I Want One of Those, it’s perpetually sold out; my Valentine’s Day posting plans thusly ricocheted off her forehead and projectiled out the window, which is what probably would have happened with that damn engagement scenario anyway.

Yesterday, it was back in stock, but this morning, it’s already gone.  What can I say?  Something this coveted must be worth it.
