My wireless keyboard and mouse have put their heads together and decided they are NOT going to work together today. I’m stepping away from them both and running to Best Buy.
Before I go…
{Funny story} Just realized through Twitter that I missed the Country Music Awards. When I read a person’s comment about Carrie Underwood on Twitter last night… I thought she was at the Bravo A-List Awards last night. ha ha.
I have a pile of work that I must complete today.
Lulu from The Dirty Martini Diaries asked this morning for suggestions on Bride/Groom Wedding Gifts.
My response:
The GIFT of ALL GIFTS… THE Wedding Gift. My general advise of course is always a ‘forever’ gift with personal touch.
Some of my faves:
-Matching Watches
-Right-hand Ring for Bride in your wedding month’s birthstone (The birth of your new life).
-For Groom: a sterling silver picture frame with a Bridal Photo of Bride for his office.
-Cuff Links for Groomp.s. Love the idea of doing the new, borrowed & blue for Groom. Very clever!
Good Luck. xoxo Nina
Just remembered April’s birthstone is the Diamond. You could always request the right-hand ring in the Mr’s birthstone or one with two stones (His & Hers). I also agree w/ David Yurman. They have a great selection of Men’s items too! Frosty LOVES his DY bracelet that Kiks bought him for a bday.
Blue-Eyed Bride’s response:
I gave [husband's name] a painting of the restaurant where we had our first date. It hangs in our hallway and he absolutely loved it. He thought it was super sweet and it’s also something that we’ll have forever.
I also gave him one of my framed bridal portraits for his office.
I considered getting him a watch and we also talked about getting each other bikes. Bikes aren’t really “forever” though, so we nixed that idea.
He gave me the green kate spade bag that I took on our honeymoon, then he put two bright colored dresses from my favorite local store in the bag for me to wear on our honeymoon. It was sweet.
I absolutely ADORE the idea of a painting of the first place you met {incredibly romantic}. This quote from Blue-Eyed Bride would also be confirmation as to why I should be packing my bags, moving to SC and setting up shop with her and Baby.
Can’t wait until I can steal this idea for my own wedding gift… Wait, no one start holding your breath.
Stay tuned for Jennifer’s Kind Finds around Noon EST.
Happy Monday!

Our 1st date was at TGIFridays…. That has now been torn down and a Crate & Barrel in its place. So a painting of Fridays, while very funny, wouldn’t be romantic for my hubby.
We actually met up on Sunday afternoon there since it was near my apt, we ‘met’ on Match.com, so it was ‘safe’.
