God loves a cheerful giver.
If you love them so much why don't you marry them?
Libby-the gift that keeps on giving.

Bubble Wrap Calendar is brilliant. (Same goes for Libby of course. That photo says it all.)
What, no $85 candle?
Astro ice cream is the best. Neapolitan only though.
that candle is worth every penny/cent/yen. I'll stick to that till the day I die (and I have never paid ANY money for any kind of a candle before in my life)
Bubble wrap calendar makes me all jittery just thinking about it.
