Did you ever dream of becoming a Nintendo Game Counselor? What, it would have been fun to sit around playing Zelda all day--for money! Even if your thumb reflexes aren't what they used to be, you can still freshen up your breath with these mints (while humming the Super Mario Bros. theme song, of course).

I love this houndstooth gift wrap! Got a present for a fashionista? Wrap it in this. If anything, it's a lot cheaper than wrapping your gift in a Carolina Herrera dress. (If the gift's for me, though, just go ahead and wrap it in the dress, k?)

Are you sick of rose rings yet? I'll admit it. I'm not. Especially when they come in pretty colors. These plastic pink and red rings are fun and girly. And cheap! Unfortunately, they only come in size 7.

These powerful little magnets from Wooster & Prince are only a little more than half an inch in diameter, but they sure are pretty. Each of the three different sets is decorated with fun patterns.

These deep picture frames are so pretty. I especially like the way they look in a big cluster. They range from three-inch squares to eight-by-ten rectangles. My favorite is the oval frame.

These dangly hoop earrings have sort of an Indian look to them, which I like. The hoops are fairly big, a little more than two inches in diameter (which I also like). You can also buy them with dark purple beads or black beads.

Someone putting you in a corner? Let Patrick Swayze tell 'em off for you. Also, sometimes you've just got to let someone know that, "I'm scared of everything. Most of all I'm scared of walking out of this room and never feeling the rest of my whole life, the way I feel when I'm with you." Okay, Johnny, I'm ready to do the lift!

I can't stop slathering this stuff from the Rosebud Perfume Company on my lips. It has a soft rosy taste, it feels great on, and it has a bit of a shine to it. Supposedly, you can use this stuff to soften your cuticles too.

I really dig the curvy shape of these new salad bowls. They're carved out of acacia, a type of thorny tree that grows mostly in Australia. The wood grain on the big salad bowl, which is 10 inches in diameter, is really gorgeous.
$28.95 for the big salad bowl and $6.95 for the servers, Crate & Barrel

I like funky salt and pepper shakers, especially this little set designed by Josh Owen. Both shaker areas are magnets, so they can snap together, and the whole thing rolls around like little top on your table when not in use. The holes for the salt and pepper are in different spots to make sure they don't mix.
