Go get yourself a pocketful of posies, a bunch of blooms and a bevy of buds. Cram the whole kit and kaboodle in, fluff ’em up, then stand back and admire. Oh, don’t forget to add water. Now stand back and admire. You did good.

I know you know someone that has just killed themselves doing something wonderful yet thankless, survived risky business, or were stupid enough to have just been plain stupid. Give them kudos or make a point. These all-growed-up
merit badges smile or scold just so.
And then of course, there’s this one for that truly deserving person … yep, you guessed it ….
Be Proud Merit Badges, here.

I swear, that’s what this necklace is called. Don’t shoot the messenger, for God’s sake; I couldn’t make this one up if I tried.
Here’s the deal: designer Katja Prins mixes prayer necklaces to create this truly astonishing piece. The red is a reference to the blood shed in the name of religion. Very lofty and all that, whatever. All I know is that it’s a fab piece for spring and it’s RED. Believe whatever you want, but I believe you’ll believe that it would be quite the statement, especially with white. The Religion of Fashion, after all.

In the olden days, 1886 to be exact, a little book called “Confessions” was a series of questionnaires designed to reveal a person’s soul. Now commonly known as The Proust Questionnaire, it has become a yardstick for interviews, and for revealing a person’s inner put-together.
It’s also a lot a fun to answer … or torture …. depends on how you look at it.
If you’re a rabid fan of the Questionnaire, then you’ll love this gift pack. Here’s what you get → 12 note cards with the Proust Questionnaire logo plus envelopes lined in his handwriting, a copy of his own answers and a notepad that has the full questionnaire on the other side.
The logo on the note card says ‘confessions’, you know.

Lose the bear squeeze bottle thing. Toss it now. There’s not a moment to lose. That’s not honey, honey, just a cheap, tawdry imitation. You owe it to yourself to use the real stuff. Your taste buds will sing.
Bet you didn’t know that bees have five eyes. Crazy, right? The sweet little creatures are also directly responsible for over 80% of all vital pollination, which accounts for more than 2/3 of the food we eat.
These beekeepers do it right, do it pure, do it beautifully. There are all sorts of varieties to choose from, in jars or gift blocks or even sweet little vials with customized corks and hangtags for a party favor or perhaps a wedding favor. Plus they enclose all sorts of fascinating info so you can absolutely charm the pants off someone at your next cocktail party. Personally, I can’t wait to use the five-eye thing.
The 9-vial honey gift block is here; the customized favors are here.

The bad news: There is no key to the universe. The good news: It was never locked. Words to live by, peeps. Your new mantra, your motto; repeat over and over and over for max effect.
The sterling silver key has the crushing truth; the sterling lock has the happy realization. You get to choose the length of the bead chain, which is always good news.
You’ll want to check out the other very cool things, too, of course, naturally and all that.

Phone home. Let’s stay in touch. Call, we should do lunch. How many times have you heard all that? So, listen. If you had a phone like this one, you’d want to call, to yak with someone, anyone, for hours on end.
The Scandiphone was first introduced in the ‘50’s and it was quite the innovative moment. Now it’s retro, right? Pretty hysterical, but this phone has been updated for today, and has the requisite redial button, ringer volume, on/off switch and tone/pulse switch. Just plug it into the outlet thing and you’re good to go. And it comes in red!
Forget the Princess phone, get this one, here.

The teensiest, tiniest freshwater pearls, and twelve full strands of them for your wee wrist. Kinda perfect, whether your wrist is wee or not so wee. It’s a go-anywhere kind of thing, and it turns the frumpy pearl bracelet upside down, which is always good. Lots of wisdom in that!
A very modern take on the frumpy pearl bracelet, here.

You will covet. You will crave. You will be amazed. You will miss the boat if you don’t act quickly.
