Larry Curly and Moe 2007-04-19 22:19:34
Her Side: you’re at a party.. and inevitably.. someone stumbles over and screams something at you in a drunken stupor.. THAT my friend… would be an angry / rageful drunk… sometimes there are overtly - bubbly, makes-me-want-to-smother-them-with-a-pillow drunk.. and unfortunately also the sad / cries about everything drunk. Well now there’s a bottle opener for each of your “special” friends. bottoms up!
Loftparty : Poketo Mood Bottle Opener ; set of 3 - $38
His Side: stainless steal bottle openers…with moods. Now…your gf doesn’t have to be the only moody thing in your apartment! And we all know, girls hate being alone…right? With the odd shapes…I’m not sure how functional they are ….but at least they are something to talk about at your next shindig.
Her Verdict: <3 <3 <3 - oh nuh uh! no he di-int! did he just call me moody???? i’ll show him moody. i’ll moody my foot right up Read more:Larry

cuppies! 2007-04-22 21:56:53
Gap Backless Bra: $32
Her Side: Girls talk about boobies and what holds them in…. pretty frequently.
So on a recent outing… my friend (who shall go un - named for the anonymity of her “tenders”) was raving about the Gap Cuppy Bra. All girls have seen this bra before…from different makers.. and several different models. Well now, the Gap version gets my thumbs up thanks to my friend’s review of the product. Also, the product is washable… and can be reused up to 50 times!
So ladies.. go forth and be perky!
His Side: Guys…you can kind of think of these like stripper pasties…there is an adhesive inside part that holds everything together, letting your gf tease you all night long with the look of no bra. Lies and deceit! But hey, who’s complaining?
Her Verdict: <3 <3 <3 <3
His Verdict: 4 pasties of pole dancing fun!
Lux Cami 2007-04-22 18:56:52
Lux Solid Bow Cami - $24.99 at Urbanoutfitters.com
Her Side: Urbanoutfitters is one of the few places that carry the brand Lux. I don’t understand why more people don’t carry their stuff… annnyway… this is a cute cami that’s on sale at urban right now - and comes in salmon pink or sky blue. (or in their words - fresh berry and kingfish) haha.
and for you boys out there.. this gift comes with its own wrapping… look at that fabulous bow!
His Side: Oyyyy….I’m really not so great at talking about clothes. But here is the dilly: cotton shirt, its cut and stitching make it sort of glide over your goodies to give a flowing look (thank you urbanoutfitters.com for teaching me this in your description). I see girls all the time wearing stuff like this, so it has to be in fashion…right?
<lets all countdown until I get kicked for saying I looked at other girls…3…2…1 THERE IT IS FOLKS!>
Her Verdict: <3 &
The Vespa Hat 2007-04-21 22:33:22
The Vespa Hat,
Hats By Goorin Brothers, From KarmaLoop, $30
Her Side: not really a hat for me.. mostly bc i’m not a hat person.. but i’m jealous of those who are.. bc this hat is SO sweet! From the same makers of the elf/ fairy bag with rope.
His Side:100% cotton, 100% Leather band on the head (like Rambo’s but more stylish) $30…and im pretty sure this one falls under the accessories rule for guys: <listen, nod, swipe, smile>
Her Verdict: <3 <3 <3 <3
His Verdict:if you don’t know my accessory rule by now.. there’s no hope for you.
It’s magically fantastic 2007-04-21 18:32:18
The Rivendale Tote, by the Goorin Brothers, from KarmaLoop, $32
Her Side: friend: “oh look.. little fairies on your bag!.. they’re so cu… ARE they carrying machine guns and grenades???” me: “d@mn straight they are… who wants fairies and elves on their bag??” This bag lured me in with its unique rope straps, and thin green pin-stripe pattern; this shall be added to my “everyday” tote bag rotation.
His Side: 3-pockets; thick rope strap; 100% cotton, and $32…seriously, she has a tote obsession. At least this one has guns on it.
Her Verdict:<3 <3 <3
His Verdict: elves with guns…I mean, where can you go wrong? <sarcasm>
“i said a hip hop the hippie the hippie to the hip hip hop…” 2007-04-21 14:32:25
CG Knit Track Jacket, By Adidas, From KarmaLoop
Normally:$115, ON SALE: $56.95
Her Side: okay there’s no reason she should have this jacket zipped up to her face, but you have to admit.. its a BOMB @ss jacket. It’s lightweight enough for fall, spring&hellip
; and summer nights. Look at it… it’s so &ldquo
;O.G. - Sugarhill Gang - Rapper’s Delight&rdquo
; era.
Where are the matching pants and the my Adidas Stan Smiths??
His Side: Old school track jackets from Adidas are always cool. Cotton-polyester blend, zippered front. Do you guys remember the rappin’ granny that did the Rapper’s Delight? Gotta love the old days…
Her Verdict: <3 <3 <3 <3 - i say.. wow cool jacket.. like Sugarhill Gang.. and he says.. oh like that old granny that rapped. uhh… yes ladies.. he’s taken.
His Verdict: there is no arguing with girls about something on sale. EVER.

What Your Boyfriend Wants - Baseball Season is Here! 2007-04-24 02:42:53
His Side: This is a customizable MLB Jersey. If you have not gotten your guy one of these there are two possibilities. One, you are a bad girlfriend. Two, you are smart girlfriend who realizes that once you buy one of these you will never get him to wear normal clothes again. During Red Sox streaks, I wear mine until they lose. Without washing it. Ladies, what is sexier than that, I ask you?
Practical Points: polyester fabric and ships with only the number on the back (pick the number of your favorite player)…because the Red Sox are cool like that. These are available from all MLB teams in team colors.
Down side: They are $189…because they are authentic, and we men are stupid when it comes to authentic sports gear. Read more:Season
What Your Boyfriend Wants - Part 4 2007-04-23 23:45:36
I have never been so happy as when I saw this over at ThinkGeek Electronics. Dudes, say good-bye to Sex in the City reruns. Say good-bye to Will and Grace and TLC. This moment is so….<sobs>…beautiful…<sobs>…I just…can’t control myself.
How it works: Seriously, its GENIOUS. A universal remote that lets you control any TV without those aggravating programming steps. Put it on your keychain, and click to watch the magic happen. There is absolutely no down-side to this. NONE.
Girls Side Note: if you like to mess with your bf’s head (and what girl does not)…and be pure evil…this is the fastest way to drive him crazy during the next game (baseball, basketball, football…) that he is making you watch on TV. Seriously though…you didn’t get that idea from me.
What Your Boyfriend Wants - Part 3 2007-04-23 17:00:35
Uhhh…if you havent gotten a wii for your guy yet, you are a bad, bad girlfriend. This is your only chance to turn your couch potato bf (=me) into a fit couch potato bf AND get to play interactive games with him. I have never met a girl that did not love Mario. Ever. You would think that love of chubby men with facial hair would carry over into real life…but, sadly, it does not
How It Works: its kind of like your TV’s remote control only with motion sensing technology (3 little gizmos called accelerometers that measure the acceleration of the remote control in any of the 3axes of 3D space and convert that into movements on screen). It has a rumbler feature too…but so does everything else.
Guy Side Note:…if you want to be the ultimate sack, go buy a helmet from the army-navy stor, duct tape your wii controller to the top…now you can sit and only have to move your head to play the Wii.

I AM Mickey 2007-04-29 20:55:52
Her Side: This is a whatmygirlfriendwants item.. because frankly.. we’re(gf’s) are tired of the hole in the armpit-faded-looks-like-a-mouse-chewed-it tees bf’s insist on wearing. Make your man presentable. Mickey
Tee $28 from Urban Outfitters.
His Side: Mickey is the man. I am the man. I was obviously meant to have this shirt. 100% cotton, washed and faded, and its regular/medium fit. $28 dollars is the price of your admission ticket to Fantasia. And to Minnie Mouse.
Her Verdict: <3 <3 <3 <3
His Verdict: Where’s the Goofy, Pooh, Pluto….shirts.
The incredible, edible… 2007-04-28 22:07:42
Her Side: Crack Pass the salt please. Aren’t these Salt and Pepper dispensers SO CUTE? They’re designed by sultry UK kitchen diva Nigella Lawson. She makes all men wish they were cooking with her.. or at least within stare-drooly range.
Nigella Lawson ; taken from borgermann.com
His Side: These very &hellip
;busty… and ceramic salt and pepper “pigglets” will perk(y) up the flavor of any meal! Nigella Lawson, the designer of these, is famous in Britain for both her cooking show on the Food Network and her wildly rich and famous parents. These are cool…even tough I’m guaranteed to spill them once a day, with their open fronts. But if buying them means I get to watch Nigella more often, I’m all for it.
Her Verdict: <3 <3 <3 - i like my food spicy ;D (because after all - you are what you eat!)
His Verdict: hooray for “eggs”!
Atypyk-al shirts 2007-04-28 18:34:30
Be Tough: $33.88, Click:$32.10
Her Side: Personally, I LOVE the “Be Tough” shirts. I mean a GUN screen printed onto the back? I picked the Paparazzi T shirt for the geeky bf. He LOVES embarassing moments. I say bang bang.. he says click click… you be the judge.
(both come in mens and womens sizes)
His Side: I see these shirts from Atypyk as a set. Hot gf needs gun to ward off would-be suitors…and to stop me from taking “candid” pictures.
Tough shirts are awesome…for girls or guys, and geeky shirts are always a good time for guys. I always say…ya can’t hide the geek from your gf…it will come out eventually, might as well have fun with it.
Her Verdict: <3<3<3<3<3
His Verdict: 3.14 thumbs up
Tape…the [tougher] sequel 2007-04-28 14:08:27
Wood Tape: $8; Python Tape: $10.70
Her Side: I thought I had seen it all with lace tape. But the people from Atypyk (of course a Euro site.. they have ALL the cool stuff!) showed me I was dead wrong. Wood tape&hellip
; python tape?! Genius! My favorite is the Shutup Tape… I’m going to buy 60 rolls… essential for my sanity when spending long periods of time with the bf.
His Side: Europeans are ingenious. Creativity in design is paramount in the European community…particularly the UK. We had featured lace tape a while ago…these are a few tougher counterparts.
Shut Up Tape: $8
Her Verdict: <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
His Verdict: wait a minute…I just read her side…she thinks I talk a lot?! Read more:sequel
Geeks get gifts too…right? 2007-04-27 22:39:00
Available from ThinkGeek Electronics, $5.99/pack of 4 sheets
Her Side: The closest holiday is mother’s day&hellip
; sadly I don’t think moms would appreciate these as much as a geeky bf or gf. I like the equation / math one the most… but that robot elf is pretty funny also .. with his little elf hat in all his elf-y ness. *roflcopter.*
His Side: I’ve been in a geek mood lately…and what do geek to’s love best? Giving the gift of geek to their friends! Each pack of paper comes with 4, 20″ x 30″ and is 5.99/pack. Spread the love…
If you are enviro-friendly and hate the thought of wrapping paper…you can help to save the rainforest by visiting The Rainforest Site and clicking every day, or you can make a donation to save an acre of rainforest at The World Land Trust.
Her Verdict: <3<3<3
His Verdict: cool in the way that knowing the value of pi out to 25 decimal places is cool…aka…AWESOME. Read more:Geeks

What Your Boyfriend Wants - Flashback to the Wonderyears 2007-04-26 22:04:36
Three belt buckles to bring back the good old days from ThinkGeek Electronics , $14.99-24.99
His Side: AMAZING. Honestly, if you lived through the 80’s as a kid…you don’t need me to explain why you should already be putting your credit card numbers into the order completion form at ThinkGeek by the time you have read this far. God, these people are geniuses.
Down Side: What can possibly be the downside? Aside from my gf breaking up with me for wearing them in public that is…<sigh>
Cute and Charitable 2007-04-26 18:03:16
Her Side: Clicking through Etsy.. I stumbled across these little HIV viruses.. That’s right folks… someone has crocheted a cute and cuddly version of this epidemic. But it’s okay.. because its for Charity! Buy one of these to increase awareness.. and to donate 33% of the proceeds to the Blood:Water Mission.
Find more details from lepetitbijou on etsy.com
Idea: tie a little string around it and hook this puppy up to be a cell phone dangly thing.. or a keychain.. or hang it in your car… i’ll take one of each color please!
His Side: This is a great and rare opportunity to buy something cute and do something good in the world at the same time…Blood:Water Mission is a nonprofit started by Jars of Clay, a Christian music group with the goal of providing clean water and clean, transfusable blood to the people of Africa. Do something good for the world today!

Double take heels : $338 - Anthropologie.com
I wasn’t joking when I said the new trends are shorts and an essential white blouse. (see new trends post) These fab shoes would go great with some chic shorts (the ones with a cuff hem - i’d go with a bermuda length cut) and a flirty white blouse. Would also go great with a fun 1950’s style dress. Either way.. i <3 these shoes..
odette heels: $158 - Anthropologie.com
Eyelet heel detailing, fancy little bow. What more do you need out of a peep toe mary jane shoe?? and its ONLY $158! <sarcasm… kinda>
tick tock 2007-04-26 02:13:25 UPDATE: Gagetstuff.com is offline for some reason or another… so anyone interested, and US buyers who don’t want to pay for international shipping can pick this guy up from Discovery.com
updated for our readers.. like Ayumi… hi Ayumi!
Her side: Nightlight + clock + alarm….and it changes colors hourly. I’m not an advocate of waking up… but it is pretty nifty. $26 - ish.. (its a Euro site).. GadgetStuff
His Side: Ok, this puppy is cool. It changes color on the hour, every hour (12 total colors). The light can be turned off for sleeping, but is touch sensitive and turns back on when you tap it to check the time. The alarm and clock are kind of secondary to the whole ambience thing it has going on…not very usual for an alarm clock. Hopefully it is as durable to drop-kicking as clocky is…otherwise it probably wont last too long <looks pointedly at the gf>

What Your Boyfriend Wants - for those long summer nights 2007-04-25 19:18:42
Guys: Ok, I’ll keep this short and simple: these are reef sandles (nice ones even)….but what makes them AWESOME is that embedded in the heel is a dram (translation: tiny liquor flask)…now you can take shots with you wherever you go! Just don’t step in dog crap before you get to the party…
Note: thanks to our friend Tiff for sending this one above to us!
Side Note for Girls: Reef is running a contest right now: Put Some Cash in Your Stash to promote their new sandle with a built in wallet (see above). Enter the contest for a chance to win $1000! No purchase necessary…if you win we want halfsies! Read more:nights
Rover’s Red Rocket 2007-04-25 18:23:25
Cube Collection USB Humping Dog - $15
Her Side: OKOK.. let’s say.. a friend really needed a flashdrive… so as a gag gift you bought them this fabulous invention. It looks like it COULD be a flashdrive.. but in fact.. its just a USB toy (like the USB lava lamps… or the USB fans… lamps..you get the picture)
This little dog humps the computer until he’s dis-engaged…bad rover! bad!
And then you should buy your friend a real flash drive (they’re dirt cheap for 1-2GB) because even though you just conned your friend into inserting this humping dog of horror into their computer…. in the end.. you’re a good friend… aren’t you?
Click here to see VIDEO of the comedy in action!
His Side: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA. The video speaks for itself…if you don’t know much about USB (universal serial bus) click here to learn.

Guitar Angel Hoodie - never thought you’d see those words together.. eh? 2007-04-24 21:37:06 Guitar
Angel Hoodie
by Kahri $94
Her Side 2 for 1 deal! YES! it’s a shirt.. it’s a hoodie.. i’m sold! Awesome puff sleeve at the wrist.. contrasting waist band the gold tie isn’t included?! wtf! FALSE ADVERTISING.. there are laws against teasing me like that! psh… moving on.. eye catching decals… this new up and coming designer really knows how to bring sexy to everyday things! (we’ve all seen normal jersey wrap hoodies… yawn) But… $94 dollars? OUCH.
His Side: Since I don’t have much to say about this shirt’s style other than ‘I like it”…I’ll tell you about Rayon instead, since that is what this shirt is made from. Rayon is NOT synthetic…its a mass produced plant cellulose (the stuff that makes up the structure and energy storage of plants…tranlsation: why plants are crunchy and good for you). Depending on the cellulose they use, the fabric can feel like wool, cotton Read more:thought

Fleur Dlei Belt - $60 from indieshopper.com
Her Side: BAD @SS! i HEART belts.. they’re like the best accessory for a very casual day.. ribbon belt for the girly days.. stud belts for the days when you just wanna OWN FACE! if your belts come with your outfit.. you might want to re-evaluate what you’re doing to your image.. and invest in one of these all leather bad boys. (bad boys are so sexy :D)
His Side: I agree with the gf…this belt is pretty kick @ss. And actually may be worth the money…thick, durable (and stylish…so the gf tells me anyhow). Guys, if you are buying this for your gf, she even gets to customize it…girls love picking stuff…she has her choice between chrome or vintage brass belt buckles (which can be swapped between belts if she gets more than one).
IMPORTANT: do not ask if your gf is “small, medium or large”. Never be that stupid. Never. Just go look at a belt in her closet before you buy it.

Spring.. Jealousy.. money.. all good things are green! 2007-04-24 14:19:53
Ms. Frey Green Wallet $85 from indieshopper.com
Her Side: This unisex wallet (although the bf thinks its for pansy boys - ignore him.. he’s fashion illiterate) is green.. like the money that probably won’t stay in the wallet too long.. (if it was my wallet anyway). And check out the contrast interior and white stitching… its eye catching.. from the outside.. to the very empty empty inside (sigh.. )
His Side: This wallet is cool because it is hand-screen printed in three shades of green. Girls will like this because it is limited edition…the designer makes only 200/season of each design. The interior is sturdy nylon construction…not too flashy, but it will last long enough to be worth the $85.
Her Verdict: <3 <3 <3 - this wallet costing $85 is one of the reasons it’ll be empty.
His Verdict: wait, whose wallet is going to be empty after getting this? Read more:Spring

Logitec iPod Alarm Clock 2007-05-01 22:17:45
Logitec LDS-iALARM iPod
Alarm Clock
Her Side: This alarm clock comes in black and white.. for those of us who have opted for the black versions. I’m so excited that some designers have gone back for a retro feel in an alarm clock. Thankfully though, this alarm clock plays songs from your ipod… so you can have a soothing wake up call. Also since it will be housing my ipod… i will be forced to NOT throw it across the room in a sleepy rage. touche ipod alarm clock.. i’ve been defeated.
His Side: Wow…this is sweet. This is one of the times that I really think the gf has hit on something. The alarm clock comes with two, 6W, 38mm speakers…just loud enough to get you up and be both pleasant and annoying at the same time. My first worry when I saw this was that it would only fit certain models of ipod…but I was wrong. It is adjustable to fit all of the following models:
iPod 5th generation (video): 30GB, 60GB, 80GB
iPod 4th generation Read more:Alarm Clock
Cherry on top 2007-05-01 18:04:17 Cherry
on top : $4.50 From Atypyk
Her Side: haha…cherries. EVERYONE loves cherries. They’re the perfect topping on EVERY dessert! Sadly though, this one is not edible.. BUT it is FLAMMABLE! Yup.. thats right, Cherry Candle.. Never thought you’d see the day eh?
His Side: Cool idea…word of advice though. Don’t let your drunk friends (or gf) forget this is a candle. Picture is shown to scale. This is a nice touch on gf’s birthday to show that you really do care and pay attention to detail. And are not just after the rewards for the OTHER expensive gift you bought her.
Her Verdict: <3 <3 <3 <3 - sparkling.. and non-blow-out-able candles were SO 5th grade.
His Verdict: so many innuendos to choose from…
You and Your Brother 2007-05-01 14:00:09
Featured Designer: Youandyourbrother
Bunnies are ONLY $8.50, Tree Tote - $19.00, “the perfect love” - birdy tote- $29.00
VERY REASONABLE PRICES!
Her Side: From Etsy.com –okay, I first saw the bunnies… and I lost it - because they are SO CUTE! look at them with their little faces and DID YOU SEE THE LITTLE TAIL?! They even come included with nubbly little feet. HELLO? it’s a MUST have for your bedtop or couch. And the totes are handmade, embroidered, and detailed - and some even have vintage fabric lining. tre chic! If it wasn’t for my limited (and by limited i mean non -existent medical student budget).. I’d buy the one of each of the totes and the bunnies. Check out their shop for more items that will make the kid in you squeal with joy!
support a fellow etsian!

DIY or BUY? you decide. 2007-05-01 00:08:43
Solar Sun Jar by SuckUK - available at Charles & Marie - $44 US
~*~*~OR~*~*~
DIY - Solar Sun Jar - around $10
(or however much you can get a single solar powered garden light for)
Her Side: I love the idea that you can charge the jar during the day (its solar charged!) and then at night it’ll glow a calming light. I don’t love the idea that solar power should cost me $44US. So, if you’re not savvy in the DIY arts… then you can buy a beautiful jar from Charles and Marie…
BUT if you’re a bit bolder you can tackle this project for about $10US - and a perk is that you can make it glow whatever color and have whatever shape jar your heart desires!
For Detailed instructions and picture instructions see cre8tor’s post at instructables - Goodluck!
His Side: This is cool AND crafty…and inexpensive too. Breath a sigh of relief guys. Solar power is something we all need to be using more of …apparently Captain Planet was right all
