For Her

If you are an avid shark enthusiast, watching Jaws every movie night and
never missing a shark special on TV, yet you also enjoy the refined
tradition of a hot cup of steeped tea then the Sharky Tea Infuser is
made for you.  This tea accessory, by Argentinean designer Pablo
Matteoda, is an unexpected combination of elegance and gory fun.

A stunningly realistic pig, gilded or polymer coated in hot pink, by a world famous designer, would look smashing on her dark cherry server.  She would love it, even be encouraged to shove dollar bills through the cork opening and look forward to saving $10,000....

I like to buy funny pet wall calendars as Christmas gifts for my pet lover friends because, even if they receive other calendar gifts, there is always a space on the wall for one more -- especially if it's funny and about their species of pet. I found some really hilarious dog, cat, rabbit, ginea pig, ferret, and tea cup pig calendars for 2010; maybe you will find just the right ones for your friends (or yourself!) among them.
