What happens when rich meets raunchy? A very expensive, but sweet, blindfold made from suede and 100% hand dyed silk ($75). It’s almost worth that price just to have the privilege of using the applausable fabric ribbon that happens to be three yards in length. The blindfold slides off the silk ribbon easily. I don’t think you need quite that much silk to tie a bow. This tie will definitely end up living a second life involved with the ‘unforbiddens.’ The ribbon is made of 100% hand-dyed silk, cut on the bias to allow the right amount of stretch to maintain comfort… should your game go into overtime.
JimmyJane’s products are packaged so upscale and presented with such class that aone can actually gift sex toys and be treated like a rock star for it.

I received a note today from Sarah, who mentioned her dislike for roses AND tulips, and declared her love for orchids. I can’t disagree with her passion for these flowers, as they are quite exotic and absolutely stunning. Orchids signify "delicate beauty." I wouldn’t mind receiving this bouquet, with or without the flower’s meaning.
From the Vera Wang collection, these gorgeous garnet Mokara orchids include the vase and are available for only $54 at FTD.

If ‘beautiful’ is too bold a statement for you, try these wonderful pink Butterfly orchids instead. The pink tones down the passion and adds sweetness. This plant will also last a lot longer than cut orchids. From the Todd Oldham collection at FTD, this plant with jade green vase is $81.

One of my favorites, the mini Calla lily in its simplistic beauty stands out from the rest for its rich color and uncommon presence. This flower stands for “regal” so it is befitting as declaration of admiration. These twenty stems of passionate pink Callas are available for $60 at Martha Flowers.

You’ve heard carnations are back “in” and you want to impress. My advice is “Don’t do go there.” Carnations are notorious as inexpensive space fillers for inexpensive bouquets. Unless you know your flowers or trust that your florist is uber chic, play safe, stay away from carnations.
Then there are girls who like carnations. If you’re the lucky fellow, this Classic Carnation Arrangement
can be purchased for $65-$105. (Yeah, kinda pricey for space fillers, huh?)

‘Thank You’ are two over-simplified words, in my opinion. This is not the same as under-appreciated, mind you, because we always appreciate it when we are thanked for our efforts. Generally, I find these words rarely associated with the less-obvious, the acts that are less visible, like thanking someone for being your soul mate. Or for something as silly as putting the cap back onto the toothpaste each morning. (It’s a trait worth thanking, trust me.)
A bulb garden is an alternative flowering gift that lasts longer than cut flowers and can include a great more variety. Think of it as a miniature indoors garden. This Bulb Garden will arrive pre-planted and ready to bloom in a reclaimed antique bucket that was previously used for water collection. I recommend this bulb kit for its abundance and a rich color combination that is not too Spring. The gift includes 16 ‘Annie Schuilder’ tulips, 3 ‘Blue Festival’ hyacinth, 2 iris bulbs, and 15 narcissus. From the Smith & Hawken blooming collection for $99

One of my all-time favorite gifts, this Magical Plant Garden contains the fascinating tillandsia, which is an air plant-epiphyte, plants that can grow without soil. These tillandsia derive all their nutrition from air and water. The set includes 4 plants, stones and bowl. $79
