It’s just a cryin’ shame that there’s not more than one day for Valentine’s. Is it wrong to give 10 gifts to your dollbaby? But maybe you have more than one dollbaby, you sly thing.

Some sweet and sassy things for you …..

Dita Von Teese is famous for her beauty and her burlesque shows. She’s also a fashion icon in some circles. Her first book; don’t expect pole dancing tips. This is art, you know.

Love Sweet Love. The tiniest, sweetiest porcelain heart dish handmade by Nancy Bausch of White Forest. I think a dozen will do, thank you very much.

Be Mine. Conversation heart cookies packed in a swell tin. Pair them with the original ones for maximum message impact.

There will be even more on Monday. Can you wait that long?

Okay, so I nodded off. Ripply Van Winkle wakes up and poof, it’s Valentine’s Day! I’ve stretched, I’ve yawned, I’ve shaken off the cobwebs, had gallons of caffeine and I’ve go some things.You’ll want to get these same things, because they’re fab.Truly.

Big Love. A slick and silvery stainless ice cream dish built for two, with a heart shaped spoon. The better to share with your sweetie, my dear.

Good Karmals. These handmade caramels are amazing. Each one is wrapped with a cupid-imprinted love fortune from the likes of Gandhi to Maya Angelou. You can choose the size, too …. From 30, 60 or 90 pieces per, and it’s all tied up with a pretty red bow.

A couple today, a couple tomorrow!

This is much better than some message in a bottle. So very subtle, too. A take no prisoner’s approach, which touches my Texan heart.

Watch this little story unfold …

Hand engraved lettering with a hinged book cover. The pages and chain are sterling. All by Digby and Iona.

Puts the world on notice, doesn’t it? You’ll either start a conversation or stop it in its tracks, which ain’t such a bad thing, you know.

It’s Palm Wonderful, this sale.

The cute li’l elves over at Fifty Third Street have been tippling some Christmas Cheer, it seems. Let’s not judge; let’s take advantage of their joyful tippling! The munchkins have decided to do a Christmas Punch on Palm Reader with a 20% off offer for you. Yes, you.

Here’s what the brilliant copy says:

A true collectible and very cool to boot, these vintage palm reading cards from the turn of the last century (!) were collectible then, and even more so now. They were like baseball cards and came as premiums in smokes.

Each palm prophet is one-of-a-kind, so it’s extra special. Includes detailed explanation of the history.

And now it’s 20% off! They’ve lost their minds. The picture just doesn’t do this justice; it’s the perfect gift for that person that has simply everything. It’s the coolest thing I’ve seen in quite some time, and chickens, I’ve seen it all.

Did I say 20% off? Okay, just making sure you’re plugged in. Use this code at check-out: save20. It’s case-sensitive, just so you know. I know, I know.

Such a great Joy Gift, stocking stuffer or just-because gift. These playing cards are almost frame worthy they’re so cool. You could do that, too.

Silvery cards that’s all the rage this season, for $12, here.

Aesop’s Fables, so you can get all literary while you gamble your life away, here. A sure bet at only $9.

I. Hardy cards. Check out those eyes. Another set for only $9.

And then, there are these gorgeous watercolor painted cards, and for only 10 bucks! Laid end-to-end, they create a panorama that’s some kind of wonderful, here.

I myself have ordered one of each set. Just couldn’t help myself.

Black Friday. Shopping hell begins. You’re still stuffed to the gills with turkey and every carb known to mankind, and you’re expected to waddle around among the masses and shop?? !!!

I think not.

Stay home. Do your shopping in the comfort of that very large muumuu since that’s all that fits today anyway and shove your bloated dogs into those big fluffy slippers. Go to 53rd Street instead.

This is just the teensiest of previews, peeps. You won’t believe your eyes at all the goodies. Get yourself there pretty damn quick or you’ll be on the short side of the stick! I hate it when that happens.

53rd Street, here.

There’s a magical place where all sorts of bewitching alchemy is performed and it’s called Canal House. It’s the best kind of laboratory and wizard shop, and now you can be a grand part of it all.

Hang on to your hats, kids, because Canal House Cooking has just published the second book in their series. And everything in it, from the photography to the recipes, will shiver your timbers.

I swear I gained 10 pounds just looking at this glorious photo of chocolate ginger cake. This volume is all about Holiday feasts, fare and family.

Get the first volume too, though. You’ll absolutely want it. It’s all the rage, you know.

And then wait impatiently for the next volume. Yes, tapping your feet and drumming your fingers on the table is allowed. Buy the book here.

Katy Kane is one smart cookie. She has found a lavender farm that is the closest thing to Provence this side of the pond. This incredible farm sells all things lavender: candles, soaps, honey, skin care, dried and for cooking. And get this … Carousel Farm was first established in 1748 … that’s some kind of good dirt.

So anyway. Katy gets a mountain of their products for her gift closet: birthday gifts, house gifts, hostess gifts, get well gifts, you name it gifts. You should do what she does, you know. Anyone with such good taste can’t be wrong.

And the best part? You don’t have to speak French. I mean you can, but you don’t have to.

There are 2 sizes of candles. Candle combos like Lavender-Cucumber, Lavender-Rosewood, Lavender-Lavender, here.

Loose lavender, here.

Switch to this honey, now.

They’ve got some kind of wonderful going on at Carousel Farms. Check it out and then write Katy a thank you note.

Got this in my inbox today and am doing the Christian thing by sharing. A signed DVD of the Valentino movie by the master himself. It just doesn’t get too much better than this, kids.

If you don’t know the movie, then clearly you’ve been hiding under a rock for the past year or so. (Okay, so doing the Christian thing again and forgiving.) What’s the movie? It’s the chronicle of Valentino’s incredibly celebrated and colorful career as the last couturier.

Isn’t this just the best gift for the fashion obsessed in your life? Did I mention that it was signed? As in autographed? As in run, don’t walk!

See? Here’s his autograph. Limited quantities, and exclusive to Moss, here. Like I said, you best run as fast as your stilettos will let you to score one.

Is the world pregnant? Yeah, that’s what I thought. Listen to me: Avoid baby stores at all costs. They will make your skin itchy and it’s just visual overload and you’ll end up spending waaaaay too much. Learn from my own experience, peeps. What baby needs a $175 onesie? Exactly. (no, of course I didn’t buy that, but I mean really. Has the world gone mad?).

Soooo cute, and if you don’t have a baby, it doubles as a pet bed! LOVE multi-tasking!

For that future rock star. Four-piece set; you’ll need to add tacky bling, though.

Penny loafer Uggs for toastie tootsies. So cute I could shed a wee tear. Now, these are Uggs I can wrap my head around.

The hooded towel thing that you’ll wrap your little darling in and take a billion pictures of and then show strangers on the street because … Well, who knows why?

These aren’t shoes. I know, I did a double-take, too. They’re socks! How totally brilliant is that. Plus, they’re metallic for that twinkley toes look. Start ‘em young, I say.

But the best, the absolute best, is the Pee-Pee Teepee. Dying over this, absolutely dying. Obv the most hysterical thing on the planet.

None more than 50 bucks, and most under 30. You may now do a happy dance.
