• Women’s Good Luck Elephant Watch - Perhaps with some luck & the memory of Tusky, she’ll never be late again

And here are some ideas for what to get the others:

• The Hopeless Romantic: Spark the eternal flame with the Floating Hearts Unity Candleholder
• The Artist: (S)he’ll appreciate the unique shape of the Fenton Vase & the liberal use of vibrant color

Don’t dilly-dally now! The 25th is going to roll by faster than a hurried skater punk. Place your order, and then fix yourself a cup of hot chocolate with some marshmallows. You’ve done jolly well, haven’t you?

December 15th – It was on this day in history in 1612 that Simon Marius became the 1st to observe the Andromeda Galaxy through his telescope. On a night that’s pretty much pitch black, when the moon is a tiny sliver that doesn’t produce much light, the Andromeda Galaxy can actually be seen by the naked eye. Of course, it looks like a tiny smudge in the sky, but nonetheless, if you pick up a telescope or even binoculars, you can get a good look at this amazing galaxy that’s 2.5 million light-years away! So, do some star gazing or search for new galaxies by getting geared up with telescopes and binoculars. The best place to find such products for low prices is at none other than Sierra Trading Post.

Famous Birthday

Adam Brody, 28 – You may know him as adorable, kissable and loveable Seth Cohen on The O.C. He was my favorite character.

Cat Herders Day - Cat Herders Day is sort of like a metaphor. Since herding cats is impossible, you can sort of use this metaphor and apply it to something you find impossible to do. Perhaps like getting your kids to eat their vegetables, people taking you seriously, your job, etc. Everyone goes through those days where they can’t seem to get through to anyone. So what you can do on a day like today or anytime you feel like this? Although pulling your hair out seems less painful than going through your list of impossible things to do, you should do what the old saying suggests, “If at first you don’t succeed, pick yourself up and try again.” At least you say you tried and that’s what counts, at least that’s what Danny Tanner says. Don’t you feel empowered now? Great! So make it a New Year’s resolution. Got it? Now that you got that under control for the next time, take the day and do the least stressful thing where you do have control! Check out iWin and play your frustrations away. Save 40% on arcade, trivia and card online games when you use iWin coupons.

National Lemon Cupcake Day – Yummy! Lemon anything is goooooo-ood! And so is anything that’s in the shape of a cupcake, looks like a cupcake and tastes like one too.

You know that feeling you get when you smell or taste something and it awakens your senses? Confused? So am I! Well, have you ever used a product that smelled so good you wished you could eat it?  I have so many times, and I love the feeling.
