I have to say that Fred Flare is pretty darn cool. In fact, I want to marry Fred and have lots and lots of little Fred babies.
I’m on their mailing list and got an email about free shipping with NO minimum purchase with code: hearts last week and decided to take advantage of a gift card I received in thanks for being an A-Lister on Kaboodle.
They have some amazing stuff on Fred Flare. I chose the smiley face cup and peace sign necklace. And not 10 minutes after I checked out I received an email that my purchase had already been sent off to ship. WOW!
Even more wow? I opened my door the next morning and it was sitting in my doorway. Congratulations Fred Flare for exceeding my expectations for prompt service.
They now top our list of stores with excellent customer service!

I love Valentine’s Day for many reasons. It’s a day to celebrate love (all kinds of love, not necessarily romantic love!). The color of the day is red (one of my favorite colors). Oh, and it’s another day to give presents. I love presents. Especially presents that are unique and thoughtful. Here are my favorite Valentine’s Day treats from Uncommon Goods that are definitely uncommon!
My husband and I are big squirrel fans. This maplewood Squirrelly Love Set comes in three pieces – the two squirrels must stand between the heart to hold it up. It would look great on the mantle above the fireplace or even on the trip above a door. Also makes a great Wedding Present.
I always have trouble finding an appropriate Valentine’s Day gift for my husband that isn’t too cheesy and will be useful. This Nuts and Bolts Keychain is definitely that. It’s something that he’ll use everyday and only he will know the true meaning – “I’m nuts about you!”
The best kinds of gifts are the non-material ones, like a massage. But they’re even better with these Ceramic Massage Stones that can be warmed or cooled for opposite effects. He (or she) will really appreciate that surprise massage when he gets home from work, and best of all, when he’s done with you, it’s your turn. So it’s a gift for both of you.
This one’s my favorite. All I need is this adorable mini Ceramic Love Vase, perfect for one or two of your favorite flowers. It’s cute, simple and will be used quite often.
Love Flowers but hate it when they die? Me too! This Recycled Tin Bouquet will never die and actually gives new life to old tin. And it’s pretty to boot!

I have a little test I like to do with hairbrushes. First I like to see if it fits in my small kiddish size hands. I like to do this because I like to pretend I am a rock star and anyone who sings in their brush would agree that it just has to fit comfortably. Don’t laugh. You all know you do the same thing!
Well this brush has a wonderful feel to it. It has a soft plastic handle that contours correctly with your hand. As I was reviewing this brush I read that it is static-resistant. What? Are you kidding me? Really? So I tried it and yes it really does keep that static out of your hair. What a wonderful thing especially in this very unforgiving winter weather. And trust me, there is nothing worse then static hair. And this brush does just as advertised.
You can find this Pronto Ionic Nylon Brisle Hair Brush at Brush Love for less than $7.
A Girl Must Shop received a sample of this brush to review.

Jimbo and I were lucky enough to find the best hotel in the Copley Square area – right between the Copley Mall and Newbury Street – The Copley Square Hotel. Built in 1891, the hotel recently underwent a $18 million renovation transforming the historical hotel into a plush 4-star boutique hotel. Our room had a great view of Huntington Ave, an amazing bed and lots of room for a Boston hotel.
Saturday we spent the day in the Copley Malls where Jimbo bought me this shiny new Calvin Klein Winter Coat to replace a lovely hand-me-down suede number that turned out to be too heavy. Merry Christmas to me! Dinner was at Sel de la Terre (I high suggest the Assiette de charcuterie) and dessert was Molten Chocolate Cake at the Top of the Hub.
Sunday we had a leisurely brunch at Sonsie (amazing Benedicts!) where some great dancers pimping out the Memorex miniMove gave us a little show (great guerrilla marketing Memorex, but be sure you’re on all the social networks and next time hand out cards with a hashtag for twitter, flickr and all the popular networks to lengthen and extend the reach of your campaign).
We hit Urban Outfitters (we love the Hello Kitty Plush Collectible Figures, Ceramic Owl Dish, and the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man Bank.)
And the mini disco ball and Chocolate: A Love Story
And fell in love with these guys at Life is Good
