My Take on Snapfish and Their Services

I had the opportunity to try out Snapfish and their services and I was amazed at the breadth and depth of their products. From the pendant listed above to a myriad of different photo books, you can make almost any memento that you can think of. I played around with the site and was intrigued to find how easy the site was to use. In seconds you can upload pictures and start making a photo book or special mothers day card or other unique gift. The sky is the limit! For me, I used a giftcard that I received to make a photo book that I think someone will definitely like (I'm not saying whom for wandering eyes may be watching). 

So if you have a special mom in your life that you are looking for a wonderful unique gift, look no further than snapfish.com where you can let your creativity soar and you can make purely spectacular things!

“You Supply the Romance and We do the Rest”

In other words, they’ll do the leg work to help make planning a memorable Valentine’s Day easier than ever. 

McCormick & Schmick’s will not only be offering a romantic Valentine’s Day menu all weekend long (February 11-14, 2011), but any guest that makes a Valentine’s Day reservation will also be offered the “above and beyond” service.  With this service, roses will be delivered to the table upon the guests’ arrival for dinner, and the flower cost can either be included on the dinner bill at the end of the evening or billed separately.  Diners can also choose to add a unique touch by having a special personalized message included on their dinner menu or a personalized note card on the table at arrival.

Valentine’s Day reservations can easily be made straight from the website or by calling your local McCormick & Schmick’s.  I’ve also included the special Valentine’s Day menu below for quick reference.

Valentine's Day Gift: Red JAMBOX Sets the Mood

Gone are the days when a guy shows up on your doorstep with a boom box blaring love songs a la Lloyd Dobler in Say Anything… but they don’t have to be.  This Valentine’s Day, check out the Jawbone JAMBOX wireless speaker - it packs a ton of great sound into a tiny package.  It’ll connect with your iPhone to play music in the park; it’ll bring movies to life when you watch Netflix from you iPad; and you can even use it as a speakerphone.  

While JAMBOX ($199) comes in four hip colors and designs, we think the “RED DOT” model (by Yves Behar; image below) is perfect for Valentine’s Day.   

It delivers incredible sound, and is the perfect enhancement to your smart phone, iPod, and tablets.  It can easily fit into your bag while you’re on-the-go so you can play the music you want, anywhere you want.  It’s a party in your pocket.
