Now That You’re 30

My brother reached 30 years this past week and I’m of the mind that such milestones should be properly commemorated…with a goofy themed present. Think multiples when ya wanna give big. I went with the theme of growing older = growing wiser and packaged up a few items to remind him of what he should […]

Zero to Ninety

Let’s face it, the older a person is the harder you have to think about the perfect birthday gift.  Get a kid something that bounces and yer set.  But a person past 70, hey – they’ve mastered every bouncy thing out there.  So, for Tony’s grandmother’s 90th, we were in for a challenge to properly […]

A Book By Its Cover

I’m on a recent kick of giving experiences for gifts…which sometimes entails delivering a gift card for a future experience. But this time instead of the traditional gift certificate nestled in an envelope, I thought it better suited the gift of an evening of drinks and eats at Denver’s Williams & Graham – a sultry […]

Dog Named Delaware

After years with Sampson, I’m convinced that Doberman Pinschers are the ideal four legged companion – aggressive only in looks and loyal to neurosis (kinda like me). So, when Tony felt it was time to rear a new best friend he went on the hunt for a litter of Dobbies that was ready to roam. […]

Better Half

In lieu of penis straws and stripper poles, our ever inseparable betrothed friends opted for a joint bachelor-bachelorette party at a karaoke bar. This seemed like a great conceptual gift giving opportunity so my crafty side set to work. I found an Alfred Hitchcock quote – “In a good marriage each is the others better […]

One Man Alley Cat

For his 30th birthday, as a surprise, I assembled a unique adventure for my cycling obsessed beau. I christened it Lessons in Portable Music – based on the big gift (a new iPod) and the elbow-in-side “responsibility” it held. You see, his last iPod suffered two catastrophes involving the revolving spokes of his bicycle and […]

PTERP

Street sweeping used to get me, almost every month. I’d head to my car – probably off to help orphaned children with their math homework or something – and I’d find the little fella tucked in his bright yellow blanket wedged in the door jamb, a little flag proclaiming my forgetfulness. “A ticket! Why me?!,” […]

Where is this?

On my return from West Virginia’s wild wedding wonderland, I received a probing postcard in the mail from a fellow mail art loving lass – “Where is this?” it read.  It was a photo of historical Denver – a water tank in LoDo.  I had a hunch of where to find it and was mentally […]

The Happy Couple

Battling out differences in a relationship can be healthy…but that doesn’t mean those lover’s scraps don’t sting. Enter a recent gift I assembled for a dear friend’s wedding. I researched the top 5 things that couples argue about and in a playfully irreverent manner developed 5 alleviators conveniently packaged in a “Relationship First Aid Kit” […]

White Glove Love

Team Firefox donned the white glove once more to celebrate the memory of Michael Jackson as part of hundreds of worldwide events commemorating the 1 year anniversary of his death. Our FlashMob fail turned into a surprise performance for the volleyball tournament players at Wash. Park. Honorary hot pink spandex awards go to Jason Blamey and […]
