Hubby and I in Canada.
Once again, that commercially sanctioned love fest known as Valentine’s Day will be upon us. I know, I know. You don’t celebrate that horrendous holiday. You share love 365 days a year. Who am I to tell you what to get?
Exactly. Which is why I am sharing my wishlist of ten things (5 today and 5 tomorrow) that I think would make for a great Valentine’s Day for me (I have to impose my opinion somewhere, right?).
1. Baby I am a star
Prince references aside, there is another website that offers stars for about 30 bucks but this was the first listing in Google. This is the gift for someone who likes constellations, or is an amateur astronomer/stargazer. My husband and I look for constellations and certain stars, so this gift makes a lot of sense.
2. Mmm, chocolate

I love chocolate. I love chocolate on illegal levels. Naturally, I love it when we go here to indulge in my our culinary fantasies.
3. The rack trap
This little doohickey is perfect for when you have a great outfit on and don’t really have a purse to compliment it or when you don’t feel like carrying anything with you. Personally, I am tired of hiding things in my (sweaty) bra. Made for the club!
4. Self-made
I really enjoy homemade cards. I take solace in knowing that Elmer in Acqueetonka, KS didn’t just haphazardly pair poorly done “art” with his latest attempt at producing sappy sounding crap to have it shipped off to a plant to be mass produced. My auntie sends me cards with pictures of her cat, Aleister. I want your crappy handwriting. I want your thoughts, and most importantly, I want your effort.
5. Beat it
I like useful things. I live in New York. What is more useful in New York than going to a self-defense class? I know this isn’t NY circa 1977, but people have to know how to protect themselves. I would personally prefer mace, but with the legislation the way it is in New York,you’re lucky to walk with a whistle.
