Social Contacts for Mothers Day
Since I use tape all day, I couldn't help but notice this elegant cast Elephant Tape Dispenser from Iomoi. Certainly it would be well-used here and especially if you are wrapping beautiful things all day and want a cute little monkey helper to hold your tape. I first emailed Iomoi at Christmas to inquire on the price of this fanciful Elephant Dispenser .......did you say 168.00? Designed by Iomoi, the die-cast dispenser was custom-made by a New York Sculptor and does weigh a hefty 3 lbs. so it is a whole different animal than your standard office tape dispenser. What a fabulous Mothers Day gift for the discerning woman with a beautiful desk. She will think of you everytime she reaches for a piece of tape, thinking what a clever little monkey. That would be you.
We are reverting to the quaint, old fashioned use of calling cards but for a totally different reason, or is it? We may not be announcing a actual visit but in the 21st century handing over a stylish calling card is like saying "yes, I like you and you can contact me via email, cell phone, my blog, facebook or Twitter" and it makes it so much easier. Same message, different time. It is actually a thoughtful and practical gift for the busy woman who makes friends everywhere she goes these days. 50 Iomoi calling cards for 68.00 plus shipping.
I know you have seen this stylish Iomoi gift set before, I just wanted to remind you of it for Mothers day. A chic and handy place to write down all those phone messages from her new friends met via email, blogs, facebook and twitter. Sometimes, we still need a pen and paper. I posted about another clever Iomoi gift last Mothers Day. Go take a look at last years post. It still applies. And it is still very clever.
Don't forget......the Mother's Day Giveaway takes place in 2 days on April 23, 2010.
It is listed on the sidebar. Go enter.

MOR...........pretty than usual for Mother's Day
Just a quick post about some Little Luxuries you might want to think about for Mother's Day. I think a pretty package of this Mor ~ Belladonna Lip Nectar along with a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers is just perfect. Your phone call or lovely company too, of course.
Why not give her a bouquet style done up special as in Queen for a Day? No reason why brides get to have all the fun carrying a gorgeous bouquet all day. She can too.
The Belladonna Body Butter is pretty and special too. Should you want to "butter up" some special favor with the woman who makes all your favorite things whenever you show up. And lends you her new car for weeks on end while driving your old one around. And pays your student Visa bill too (actually this one goes to Father's Day). And organizes your income tax receipts.
MOR ~ Cassis Noir Lip Nectar (18.00 US).
Be on the hunt for an armful of lilacs. Put them in a lovely vintage vase.
She will love you for it.
Just one more.......MOR Marshmallow Lip Nectar.
