Even a princess likes gadgets

Ahhhh…. the iphone.  What a beautiful thing.  If you’re into gadgets this is the phone to get.  (assuming you are using the right wireless provider, that is) You can flip through your contacts as easily as flipping through pages in a book.  Everything you need is at your fingertips and if you tip the phone sideways, the screen automatically flips.  It is just so COOL!

 Being a lover of gadgets, I pined away for one of these new gizmos.  Since I use Sprint, however, this one wasn’t an option for me.  I went for the alternative, Sprint’s Touch Phone.  It is reasonably similar, although it doesn’t do the automatic screen-switch-a-roo.  Still, it’s pretty cool.  If you’re in the market for something new and fun in the way of phones, you should check out either of these.  I love that I can watch television, surf the Internet, and check my email from virtually any location. 

Gift It!

This is one of those rather expensive items.  If you’re looking for something really special, this is one to consider for your favorite gizmo-lover.  Price is in the $500 neighborhood.

Chocolate Delight

This is a simple, every day treat that you can enjoy any time.  I like chocolate, but I enjoy it the most when it’s special. 

There are tons of chocolate delights out there that can be enjoyed any time: mocha latte, brownies, Hersey bars, chocolate kisses… the list goes on and on. 

I’ve recently discovered a chocolatey delight that is worth savoring when you want to have an extra special treat on an oh-so-ordinary day.  It sort of mixes two of my favorite flavors (chocolate and coffee).  I’m referring to Starbuck’s Expresso Truffles.  You can buy them for $6.00 or less at your local retail store.  I picked mine up at the local Target store and boy am I glad that I did.  One truffle is just the right amount of sweetness after dinner.  I love them and if these are your kinds of flavors, you will too!

GIFT IT!

You can put a bow on a bag of these for a ready-to-go-any-time gift!  Also, feel free to add this to any of the gift basket ideas shared in my other posts.
