How unique is this Curve Wall Mounted Pet Bed ($200)? The gently curved shape and soft, removable cushion allow your pet comfort and security while sleeping, plus it looks pretty damn artsy on your wall. Choose from two types of wood and three cushion patterns. Note: While this is supposed to be a "pet" bed, if you manage to get a small dog to use it, do let us know. We'd love to see that.
The crisp cotton Tommy Hilfiger Long Sleeve Poplin Ruffle Tunic ($98)—we like it. We like it a lot. Wear it to impress when you meet his parents or go on that big interview.
There are a whole lot of things you can do with a pocketable Kodak Zx1 Digital Video Camera ($150). Use the 720p HD lens to capture your man's ridiculous moves on the dance floor, for example. Take it four-wheeling and enjoy its tough, weather-resistant body. Make up to ten hours of sex tape, then watch it with the HDMI cable (or easily upload to YouTube, if that's your thing). Or you can just show it off, since the Zx1 will come in pink, blue, yellow, red and black when it debuts in April.
Puh-lease don't hate us for posting on it, but Paris Hilton Can Can Eau de Parfum ($45) is a pretty kick ass fragrance, ladies. We know it's shocking, but the mix of clementine, cassis, nectarine and orange, layered beneath with notes of amber and wood, is ridiculously yummy. The scent reminds us of homemade baked goods on a crisp winter's day. Just, uh, don't tell anyone what you're wearing.

Have the last laugh on everyone who ever mocked your green thumb (or lack thereof) with your very own Prepara Power Plant Mini ($40). This green growing machine uses NASA technology (and if it's good enough for astronauts, it's damn good enough for us) to grow your choice of herbs or flowers at an impressive 50-percent faster than in a regular old pot. After you plant your seeds, the system pretty much takes care of itself, and trust us when we say it's really hard to mess up.
Urban Decay's Stoned Poison Ring ($50) sounds a lot more frightening than it is. In fact, this must-have accessory is rather brilliant, if you ask us. Why? The trendy cocktail ring swivels open to reveal your very own stash of super high shine lip gloss, perfect for discreet touch-ups. The set comes with three shades of gloss (pinky-nude, candy apple red and shimmering beige), so you can dictate by the day. Sweet.
The Cooks Wine Gift Set ($20) is just the thing for your favorite wino—particularly if your favorite wino is you. This attractive set comes packaged in a dark wood box and includes a foil cutter and high tech (yet super easy to use) wine opener. Throw in a wine stopper, wine pourer, wine collar and eight wine charms, and you've got yourself a party.
Poor Steve may be suffering from a hormone imbalance (what?), but that doesn't mean Apple is snoozing. In fact, with the much-awaited release of the 17-Inch Unibody Macbook Pro ($2,800), the company seems more awake than ever. This fabulous laptop boasts a 17-inch LED backlit display and a truly impressive eight-hour battery that promises to last three times longer than your average laptop. Plus, the slightly bigger version of the 13- and 15-inchers is still super attractive and encased in aluminum.
While we wouldn't go to Jessica Simpson for dating—or uh, pretty much any other—advice, one thing the songstress does know something about is shoes. And that's why it's little surprise that our newest favorite, the Delanco Sandal ($89) is designed by Simpson's line. Love the way the trendy gladiator shoe gets ready for warmer weather, with a woven leather upper and a "cork" heel. Wear 'em now with tights, and later with a summer maxi.
If you live with a member of the, ah-hem, rougher sex, then you already know something about odor. What you may not know (yet) is the breath of fresh air that Diptyque Candles ($55-78) can bring to your abode. This line of fantastically scented candles is totally free of synthetics and made of irritation-free paraffin. In so many scents (like woodsy gray amber and sweet orange blossom), you can get a different one for every room he inhabits—and did we mention that's a really good idea? [Thanks, Em!]
Because leaving the protection up to him is just so last year, we can't stop raving over the Just In Case Condom Compact ($20), an oh-so-stylish mini compact that looks like just another eyeshadow. In fact, even open the compact and you'll see an innocent mirror. But dig a little deeper into the hidden compartment, and you've got yourself discreet space to store and keep your condom stash with you. We love the metallic cases (above), but you might prefer pastels ($15-20), YouthAIDS Red ($20)—of which 10-percent goes to the YouthAIDS Organization—or even classic bling ($199), which comes coated with genuine Swarovski crystals in your choice of color.
Treat your skin to it's number one "whish"—a cocktail of moisture and seductive scent that no one will be able to resist. Pomegranate Three Whishes Body Butter ($24) contains organic aloe, shea butter and raspberry to moisturize, rice bran oil to purify and seaweed extract to firm. Or try equally sinful, equally organic Lemongrass and Almond scents. Deliciously indulgent.
Outsmart that winter weary feeling with a mad game of Partini ($40). Your new go-to party game is a bit reminiscent of Cranium, in that teams compete in various games and tests to win. But Partini boasts fun new twists, like Bouncers (bounce ping pong balls into cups—hmmm, beer pong, anyone?) and Straight Up (declare funny truths or myths about your teammates). A total blast that's made even more so by the addition of (what else?) martinis!
New to knitting? Then the Szechuan Scarf Knitting Kit ($20) is just the thing to wet your appetite. Packaged in a fun Chinese food takeout container, this kit comes complete with bamboo "chopsticks" (knitting needles), soft acrylic yarn and instructions to help you create a pretty scarf to keep or to give. In four "flavors"—black bean (black), sweet & sour (purple), lychee (blue) and green pepper (green).
Oh so fabulous— the Faux Snakeskin Credit Card Sleeve ($17) from The Limited. Perfect for those times when your clutch is too flat for your real wallet, this sleeve holds your credit cards and cash with style (faux snakeskin) and safety (a snapped strap keeps everything in place.)
