Ciaran
did a review of these thongs from Smart Ass
Gals for the Holiday Season in 2006. I thought they
were so funny and we had such a great response from
the review that I didn't forget about them for this
year's season.
A great stocking stuffer, for under the tree or
for that friend with a sense of humor, these signature
collection undies from Smart
Ass Gals are sure to get a laugh.
My
favorites are, "yummy mummy," "high
maintenance," "control freak" and
"trophy wife."
There's also "something blue" for that
friend who is getting married, or "bun in the
oven" for all you preggo types.

These
boots were made for walking
You
can not go wrong with a pair of sassy boots for
the stylish Mom.
I
reviewed this pair of Ecco
Bristol brown boots in October and I'm already
wearing them out from frequent usage.
I get compliments on these all over the place. Plus,
they're so comfy.
Tees
with a little personality
We
see a lot of cute sayings on tees for kids and maternity
shirts here, but it's not as often we find great plain
old Mom tees. Darling
Mummy sells a great line of short and long sleeve
t-shirts, all with a bit of sass adorning them.
"Santas Little Helper" is of course a great
one for the holiday season. And who couldn't use a
little "Mommy Juice" at the end of the day?
And "I'm too sexy for my minivan" is a classic.
Dads, get a smile out of your wife and get her a couple
tees from this site for the season!

Birthstone
necklace from Red Envelope
For
my first Mother's Day, my husband got me a single
birthstone necklace. The birthstone was of course
the stone for the month my oldest son was born in.
I still love that necklace and I loved when I could
tell people the reason I had a blue topaz necklace.
Red Envelope is selling one this season with an
elegant, simple design and you can select up to
four pendants for up to four birth months. The prices
aren't as bad as you'd think either - my boys November/December
birthstone combo is $125.
You
can't go wrong with a wrap. I don't know of any
woman who doesn't have some kind of wrap in her
closet.
And
there are so many opportunities to wear them - casual,
dressy, winter or summer... it warms you up or accessorizes.
Find
her style and pick a color based on that (black
for anyone; stripes for the Funky Mama). Use coupon
code MWS
for 10% off your order at the Pashmina
Store. There's free shipping on all orders.
Amazon's
Kindle Device: saving space
Any
Mom loves an item that will save her space in her
house! Amazon's new revolutionary reading and wireless
device, the Kindle, does just this. It's a reading
device that allows you to download books and magazines
to it for a small fee (less than you would pay for
a Paperback in the store)
It uses technology similar to a cell phone, so you
can connect and download wherever you are (no "wireless
internet" fees when you aren't within your
own network.)
I have to say, I love reading books. I love creasing
the spines, holding the book in hand. But I have
to admit that this sort of thing is probably the
wave of the future. And the appeal of no longer
having piles of books over my house is enough to
make me very intrigued with this product.
So this is it - for the gadget-friendly Mom who
loves to read, check
out the Kindle on Amazon. It sells for $399.99
(free shipping)
Liven
up the party with a beverage fountain
So one of my friends owns this product, and I recently
borrowed it for a party. It was a party at noon,
so we filled the fountatin with Mimosas. I can't
tell you all what a hit it was - it lightened the
mood (well I'm sure it was a combination of the
ambiance the fountain brought, in addition to the
champagne in the Mimosas) and was generally just
cool to watch.
I'm hoping Santa brings me one for Christmas (hint
hint hubby) and if not, I'll be getting one anyway
because this thing is a blast at all kinds of parties.
I read some of the comments and you can do all sorts
or things with it - one woman put fresh squeezed
lemonaded in it and floated slices of limes in the
bottom part. How fun! The fountain lights up, adding
a little charm to the whole thing. It's a great
centerpiece as well - who needs flowers?
Whitney loves the holiday season and everything that
comes with it: spiced wine, pumpkin pie, giving gifts
to loved ones, decorating the tree and shopping for
her boys.
Some of Whitney's favorite Christmas gifts she's received
in her lifetime include: a Cabbage Patch Doll, Puttin'
on the Ritz on record, a Swatch Watch and numerous
Atari games (Pitfall, anyone?).
This year, Whitney hopes Santa will bring her 8 hours
of uninterrupted sleep.
