So if you cannot tell, I love pajamas and slippers.  I also have a serious addiction now to an online store called Crazy for Bargains.  They also just released their 2009 Valentine’s day pajamas.   The Valentines day pajamas line from Crazy for Bargains includes everything from heart and devil boxers to hearts with horns pajama pants (I actually own a set of these and love them to death) lips boxer shorts and of course the I love you boxers for men.

The women’s line includes lovely nightgowns that are pink and say love or sweet and sometimes sexy messages, camises and more.  All you need to do is click this link and you will be taken to their current Vanlentines pajamas.

Now, although this is not all of the Valentine’s day pajamas from Crazy for Bargains, they add to their collection all the time, it is a fantastic start to get yourself ready for Valentine’s night 2009.  To make things even easier for you, I have selected a few favorites from Crazy For Bargains and included them in this post for you.  All you need to do is click on the picture and you will be taken directly to them.

These pajamas are not only comfortable, but they will definitely be fun to wear for/with your partner and even more fun to take to off.

So I am starving and waiting to go to lunch. Why is this relevant? While I’m waiting for my friends to get ready so we can finally eat, I realized I haven’t updated this blog for a while. So in the heat of hungry and need to give you all a new gift or wedding favor idea, I am proud to present you all with the Fabulous Flavored bottled BBQ sauce gift package from Beau Coup. (BTW, this BBQ sauce gift set is personalized with your name, the wedding couples names for a wedding party gift, or the bride and grooms names for a wedding gift for the couple.)

Now, BBQ sauce seems like a weird gift (For those of you who do not live in Texas (If any Austinites are reading, please feel free to send me bottles of Rudys,,,,I miss that barbeque sauce.)) however when you taste good or flavored or gourmet sauces, you soon realize that it actually does make a fantastic present.

BBQ sauce can be used so many ways and most people (non Texans) don’t stop in the BBQ sauce aisle each time they go to the store. So my theory behind giving out flavored bbq sauces for a wedding gift or gay wedding gift is that you can expose your friends and loved ones to new flavors and spices for their meals. Sharing the gift of flavor is always fantastic and hey, you also get plenty of mentions during meals you are not a part of. I have been to numerous dinners where someone puts out a unique flavor (This is how I discovered the fabulous basalmic Vinegrettes from a different post) and I ask where they got them. They always end up replying with a fantastic story of being in this designer or little shop, or they say, “Ohh, Insert Name Here bought it for us for Insert Occasion Here”. All of the sudden you get more invites and look like the culinary god when in reality, you gave a unique gift that made a lasting impression and continued to delight people until the last drop.

So here is some more info from Beau Coup about the Personalized BBQ Sauce gift set. You can also order from that link. I hope you all see the fun and fabulousness of giving BBQ and gourmet sauces for gifts to your wedding party or even as a corporate gift. Personalize the bottles of BBQ sauce with company logos or bride and groom names and images and you are set.

It is freezing in the Chicagoland area and I could seriously use some spring or summer.  Normally I am ok with a bit of winter cold, but at least make it pretty with snow flurries, not just ice and cold.  While I was freezing outside and leaving work, I was thinking that I need to update this blog and while searching through products to share with you, I came across the perfect thing which I am probably going to order for a New Years party favor as it applies to more than just wedding favors.  It is the fabulous Blooming Boxes from Beau Coup which was also featured in an issue of In Style Magazine.

The Blooming Boxes wedding favors are a fabulous early spring or summertime wedding favor for your guests.  They are these fabulous little boxes which come with seeds and are topped off with an open flower on top of the box for that perfect touch and they are a gift that reminds everyone of your big day for weeks and months to come as your guests plant the flower seeds in their favors and watch their indoor garden bloom.

The blooming flower box wedding favors are also a symbolic wedding favor in that they grow and bloom just like your marriage.  They grow something beautiful just like your love for each other and add beauty and warmth to any barren ledge, window sill or table.

As I said above, the blooming boxes do not just have to be for weddings.  I actually think that they could be even better for a baby shower or for a housewarming party.  I think if I have any left over from my New Years party, I am going to bring them into my office and pass them out to people on my staff so that they can enjoy having fresh flowers blooming this winter.  I really feel that they will help to add that extra touch and warm fun and friendly feeling that can be missing from the cold and barren winter season.  Plus flowers help to liven a room and add that splash of color with their natural beauty that soo many offices and work places are missing.

Now I do need to fix something in this post.  I am sure someone is going to write to me and say, “Grrl, you are spelling it all wrong, it’s the Bloembox flower seeds”.  So I know that this favor is actually the Bloembox Flower Seeds, but I kind of prefer Blooming Flower Wedding Favor Boxes to Bloembox Flower Seeds.

Anyways, call them what you like, but I call them fabulous and a perfect favor for any and all occasions.  Order your Bloem Flower Seeds Box today by clicking this link and let your self and your guests enjoy the gift of blooming flowers long after your event.  Heck it is something beautiful for everyone to remember your gorgeous and fabulous event for a long time to come.

If you need a bit more information, besides the low cost at just $90, here is some detail from the Beau Coup site:

The cylindrical and lime green Bloembox favors measure 3.5” in diameter and an easy to place and set 2” in height. The fabulous silk flower on top of the box also corresponds with the type of flowers in the garden your guests are about to grow.

The Bloeambox is sold in sets of 6 and this amazing set of gifts and wedding favors come in 2 collections:

The Bloembox collection includes an assortment of six varieties: Carnation, Pansy, Flanders Poppy, Shirley Poppy, Sunflower, and Zinnia. Each favor includes 15 ft. of seed ribbon.

The Habitat collection includes three different garden types (2 per type): Bumble Bee garden, Butterfly garden and Hummingbird garden. Each favor includes 5 ft. of seed ribbon inside and an intricate, realistic looking creature on top.

I hope you all give them a try and enjoy them as much as I think you will.  Beau Coup is a fabulous and very reputable store and I cherish them as one of my favorite wedding supply and favor vendors.

Dean and Deluca need no introduction to the regular wedding goer or gift giver.  Now although the company allows itself to get ripped off by thieves on a very regular basis, the one thing they are very smart about is the quality of gifts they supply.

I personally loved the santa claus ginger bread house that dean and deluca featured this year in their catalog, however that is an extremely seasonal item, so if you’re looking for a more proper wedding gift, I would probably recommend you move forward with e Dean and Deluca gift basket or cheese wheel.  They are not only delicious, but classy and very nice to receive. I would personally recommend sending or buying the three month cheese club membership from Dean and Deluca as an ideal wedding gift for gay couples or even straight couples.  Suppose cheese is not your thing.  You may want to try the Dean and Deluca wine shop.

The Dean and Deluca website makes shopping for wine easy.  In the drop down menu, you can sort by price, varietal and many other ways.  Again, I would recommend doing a wine club as a gift from Dean and Deluca, or pick out a nice variety pack including a red like a Cabarnet, a white like a chardonnay and a rose champagne as those are beginning to get extremely popular and trendy again.  Wine is an ideal gift for everyone, even if the receiving end does not drink.  They can use it to entertain or as a talking piece, heck, they can even use it to regift someone in the future.  My theory is that you can never go wrong with wine, unless the married couple is under 21 or a severe recovering alcoholic who does not have control yet. If you want a recommendation of a wine club to buy as a gift for someone, I highly recommend the Dean and Deluca Great Introductions wine club gift.  It comes in a nice wooden box and supplies a fabulous variety to the experienced and novice wine drinker.  Most of the wines will also come directly from the Sonoma and Napa Valleys.  If you still don’t find anything you like but are in a serious time crunch, you can always take the easy way out and buy pastires or cakes from Dean and Deluca.

Although pastries and cakes are a lame present for a wedding, there is no arguing that Dean and Deluca know how to bake the hell out of some pastries.  I love their cakes and cookies as well as their gourmet styles of cooking and fabulous presentation.  As I mentioned earlier in this post, their santa clause ginger bread cookie house was fabulous and fantastic.  If it is not too late I highly recommend you click here and order it as it can easily be a show stopper at your Christmas Party.  The one thing I do feel sad about and wish they would do is a Hanukah themed pastry set or gifting set.  It would be nice if Dean and Deluca catered to everyone instead of just Christmas, but hey not every company can be perfect.

It’s been a while since my last post and I apologize.  It is that time of year when everything is crazy.  Speaking of crazy, I need a break from all the holiday cheer.  I mean seriously, there is only so much I can take.  I am sure many of you are over all the holiday ads everywhere and just want something normal or fun for a change.  That is why I have decided to share with you a popular and always crowd pleasing bachelorette party penis pecker sipping straws.

These fun and phalic straws are sure to get your party started,,,,well unless you are of the lesbian persuasion (I have boob straws coming in a later post…you can however click this link to the penis shaped straws and search for boobs.)  The penis straws are solid colored but your box or container filled have multiple colors.  My personal favorite is the green as I think everything should be green.  =0).  The only one they seem to be missing is black…then again I don’t know if a black penis straw could fit.  (Ohh ya, I went there =0) ).

These straws are delightfully sinful and everyone will want to carry them around wherever you go to celebrate your bachelorette party.  When we bought these straws for my one friend’s party, we ended up running out of them at the club within the first 20 minutes.  We all brought our straws from the champagne toast in the limo and most of us had extras in our coat pockets so we don’t have to reuse them.  It turns out everyone in the first bar wanted one too and we got the entire lineup of people sucking down their drinks through the penis straws.  Even a few lesbians fancied the penis straws that night.  We got some great jokes too about I haven’t done this for years, don’t tell my girlfriend, etc…

Needless to say these pecker party favors and penis party supplies are a classic hit and always a bachelorette party favorite.  I highly recommend them and have bought them myself.  Click here to visit Bachelorette.com and buy your penis shaped plastic party straws.

I had a nice sit down with an elderly gentleman the other month. We had met at a marketing conference and were talking about live, politics and a ton of other passe and potentially heated topics. He was telling me about his life and how he had served our country as a Marine back in one of the major wars as well as how his life has progressed since then. We’ll as you can tell from reading through the main site at gayweddinggear.com, my mind stopped at marine and my imagination took over.

Stop right there as I know what you are thinking, I was not thinking about him, but about all the fabulous experiences aside from the war that come with being military (yes hot men and women in uniform are included hehehe ;-)), like brothership, comradery and discipline. As he was finishing his story I decided to but in for a bit and told him about this site and this blog.

As we talked he had never actually known anyone out of the closet before and was actually quite conservative. I definitely took him for a loop. I decided to talk to him about being gay and about gay marriage by relating it to him in a way he would understand. I talked about how as a community we come together to fight for what we believe in, about economics and how gay marriage can help provide the USA with an economic stimulus that will boost us up a bit, I talked to him about respect and what it meant for him to defend his rights and then have those rights not be applied to his friends and family which may come out. I talked to him about how he risked his life for the future of our country and his family and brought up that for some it was solely in vein as if he has a gay child or grandchild, they will not receive the same and equal treatment as the rest of the country and his life risking efforts were in vein for this person.

As our conversation wrapped up, his opinions had changed and as we ran into each other at another show, I had the chance to meet some of his family. He has a fantastic and very respectful son in addition to a gorgeous wife. It also turns out he helps to manage the ecommerce of an online jewelry shop called Dream of Jewelry (click these links to go there.).

That is why I brought up Gayweddinggear.com and the gayweddinggear.com gift blog (which you’re reading right now) and told him I would be thrilled to get to promote Dream of Jewelry on my blog.  After knowing him and speaking to the person helping with ecommerce, I can assure you that this company is gay friendly and after looking through their product lines, you will not only find a fabulous deal on all types of jewelry and gemstones, but the quality and I am sure the customer service will also be top tier.  Later on in future posts I will review different custom and fabulous pieces from Dream of Jewelry, but until then, please use this link and go find yourself a gift or present just because it is a Monday, or an anniversary, or you need a pick me up.  I am loving Dream of Jewelry and although I have not shopped there yet, Dream of Jewelry is definitely on my holiday list.

Can I just say yum! I came across this new 3 course Beef Wellington meal offering from Artiko Chef. (When you click on the links it is going to take you to a very content heavy page with small pictures of the 3 course beef wellington meal and a long description of everything. Be warned, you will want to buy this meal!). So the meal costs only 139.00 for the two person version and trust me, this is a steal. If you think about it, a normal three course meal in a restaurant for two people is easily $150 plus tip, so by ordering the beef wellington dinner for two you are actually being economical and the taste and presentation of this 3 course dinner is definitely a perfect way to bring the romance and quality of a 5 star restaurant into your home, not to mention easier to reap the rewards in the bedroom of a nice meal a lot sooner (I know a proper meal always puts me in the mood).

Anyways, even if you are not being economical, this meal in particular is a life saver for me. I don’t have any time, with it being Q4 at work and the busy holiday season, to prepare a fresh or perfectly cooked dinner and that is why I love artiko chef. When I saw this meal pop up onto their site, I immediately thought jackpot. Not only is all their food good, but the presentation is delightful and it is the easiest thing to prepare. They real do all the work for you with preparing and serving a 5 star meal.

So a bit more about the 3 course beef wellington dinner.

The meal starts off with your choice of either the Morrocan Lamb Skewers or the Luxorious Lobster Scampi Puffs…I have the worst time choosing between these two. I would probably actually recommend the Lobster Scampi puffs mainly because you are doing land meat for the main course so the variety with the seafood is a nice way to break up the meal and make it more interesting.

Here’s the break down of your appetizers and meal copied directly from the Artiko Chef site:

- Morrocan Lamb Skewers (8 pieces):

Tender lamb glazed with an exotic blend of spices (cumin, coriander and harissa) skwered with a baby pearl onion and a kalamata olive.

- Lobster Scampi Puffs(12 pieces):

Puff pastry knots bursting with chunks of lobster meat in a butter & white wine sauce with shallots, garlic & parsley.

Next is your main course the Fabulous Beef Wellington, the delicious sides, desserts and candles to make your meal even more special! OK I am just copying and pasting in the descriptions from the site, mainly because I am also hungry and about to order this! I am loving the Artiko Chef!

Beef Wellingtons (2 wellingtons):

Tender and juicy tenderloins smothered in an exquisite mushroom duxelle sauce accented by mushrooms, truffle mousse, white wine, shallots and roasted garlic, then wrapped in a puff pastry knot.

- Extra Fine Green Beans Almandine (2 servings):

French Extra Fine Green Beans with fresh almond slivers.

- Sumptuous Chocolate Cake (4-6 servings):

Dome-shaped cake filled with velvety chocolate mousse cloaked in a dark chocolate glaze and topped with a white rose.

- 2 beautiful gold & silver ball candles

So if this isn’t enough to convince you to click here and buy the meal, then I don’t know what is enough. This is a sure fire winner for a date, a honeymoon, anniversary or any other occasion…heck it is perfect even just because it is Monday or Friday. We all love a good meal and this is a great one, especially if you are a fan of beef wellington. Click here to order your beef wellington 3 course meal from artiko chef today!

I am seriously loving this idea.  I found a site called half priced banners and am soo all about it now.  Last year for Gay Days at Disney World,  we got a balcony room at the Royal Plaza and needed something to hang that would not get ruined and add a touch of fun to our room and stay.  Unfortunately when we got there the door to our balcony at the Royal Plaza was locked because the Royal Plaza had a balcony collapse and it became a safety issue.  But anyways,  so I needed something very last minute that didn’t cost much, was fun and can withstand rain and other weather issues in the Orlando Florida heat so I went searching through the internet and came across probably one of my new favorite vendors for wedding and Bachelor/Bachelorette parties.  The site and vendor which I trust with the banner creation is Half Price Banners.

Half Price Banners not only took my idea and created a gorgeous and perfectly non pixelated image onto a 6ft. banner, but they also turned it around in under a week with no hidden fees and made sure I was ready to hang the custom vynil banner off my room to ensure everyone at the pool knew where the party was.  (Even I like to get a little wild at times.)  The banner arrived in perfect condition and I couldn’t have asked for better service.

So why am I talking about Vynil Banners on a wedding site?  Simple, when you are throwing your bachelor or bachelorette party, or even for your wedding or rehersal dinners, signage, whether funny or serious is a neccesity.  Because of my fabulous experience with Half Price Banners, I completely trust them to help create the perfect long lasting vynil banner at an extremely low cost and turn around with the highest quality to ensure that your signage and banners/decorations are properly displayed.  You can also use these banners to hang above entry ways and inside hotels to point your guests in the proper direction of your ceremonies or parties.  As we all know, if you’re doing your party, etc… in Vegas, some of these ballrooms are a nightmare to find and the hotel staff usually cannot help you find your event because of the massive amount of events always taking place at once.  By ordering a few banners online from Half Price Banners, the hotels and parties can hang them for you which in turn, helps your guests find you, ads decoration and messaging to your big day and parties and just helps to add one of those little something extras to your event.  If you want to visit half price banners for corporate or private printing, don’t for get to copy the coupon code off of the banner up top as well as clicking on the banner for Half Price Banners to visit the site and be able to use the coupon code.
