For the Fashionista Coworker...Diamond Push-Pins!

Stumped on what to get your fashionista boss? If she is anything like Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada (for your sake, I hope not), she will adore these diamond push-pins.

They will make any boring push-pin board sparkle like Edward. Just don't be surprised if they start dissappearing; they look so real!

Just a little ice to spice up any boring board. Brought to you by GirlGiftFinder.

Calling all Jurassic Park Lovers...It's a Girl Triceratops!

So I know I have been slacking on the posts, but it is my birthday month. Plus it is healthy to do your own shopping once in awhile.

While at Universal Studios for part of my obnoxious birthday bash, I picked up this guy, Hatch-N-Grow Dinosaur Egg. Why? One I love Jurassic Park and two, it is just so intriguing. Any friend who is a fan of dinosaurs (those are the coolest type of friends by the way) deserves to grow one.

Mine is still sitting in its box. Only because I'm gathering twigs and sticks to create the perfect nest to rest this delicate egg in and then I intend to sit on it for a few days; have to get the real effect of birthing a dinosaur duh.

Yes, the sugar from birthday cake went to my brain. Ouch!

Raindrops Keep Falling On My Optimistic Head (And I like it!)...

Instead of seeing grey skies, you will be walking on clouds. This EFM designed umbrella is the perfect gift for the Endless Optimist who let's face it sees clouds everyday anyhow.

They should hand out troves of this baby to everyone who lives in Seattle, since 1) it is always raining there, and 2) it has one of the highest suicidal rates.

Send a few to your friends and/or loved ones that recently moved to rain-heavy cities from California (80 degree weather in December, not to brag). They would greatly appreciate it. I know I would. Then again, the only way I'm leaving this weather is by kidnap, death, or abduction.

Say "Happy Birthday" to GirlGiftFinder With These Champagne Glasses!

Today is a great day. Not because it is my birthday and Benjamin Pratt's, but because I get to share with you these really cool, modern champagne glasses.

Liquid bubbly will never taste the same. Plus, the glasses look much more stable than typical thin stemmed glasses. This gift is definitely meant for the friend that always be spilling wine and champagne all ova the carpet and couch. Party fowl!

Since these champagne glasses look like blocks of ice, after a night of consistent toasting, you can then use it on your forehead the next morning to cure your pounding hangover. Win-win!

Take a Stab at Making a Rose Uglier

For me, I would win first place at that competition. For the artist in your life, it's easy breezy. Grab some chalk and go crazy on MoMA's chalkboard vase.

If this vase (vahse, for you proper types) gets in the wrong hands, it could get dirty/entertaining. Then again, it could be really cute if used to propose. Just place the ring on the stem in between the vase and the rose. Wow, I know what you are thinking, "GirlGiftFinder has the best ideas!"

Yes, yes I do. And you are welcome to steal them as long as you promise to leave a comment on how great it turned it out.

The Best Kind of Peacocking...Lollipop Peacock Holder

This Jonathan Adler Lollipop Peacock Holder is fashionable and delectable. Not only is it a social centerpiece, but it is creative as well. Finally, you can decorate your own peacock with a range of colors.

The price tag of $98 is pretty steep, but it is the most interesting candy dish I have seen in awhile. This is a great gift for those looking to add modern art into their home.

Plus, why stop at lollipops? I would put corndogs, kabobs, cigarettes, and anything else that comes on a stick in this peacock. It would definitely be the unhealthiest peacock on the block.

Darth Vader Would Have Flipped...Darth Vader Spatula!

And I thought Williams-Sonoma was a serious brand! This geekery is laughable. Debatable if Darth Vader would actually like this product- on one side, it is an honor; on another, you flip pancakes on his face. Either way, the Star Wars fanatic in your life will love it.

They really should come out with a set- Chewbacca Spatula, C3PO Balloon Whisk, R2D2 Ladle, & Yoda Pie Cake Server. It could be a hit! I would be the first in line to buy it for my dad...not me, of course. My favorite characters are the Ewoks anyhow. Stop judging. It could be worse, three words: Jar Jar Binks.
