If a tree falls in the forest and there is no one to hear it, does it make a noise? Housework is something no one notices unless it is not done. I am trying to get to something here...if certain wedding "traditions" do not happen, does anyone notice? Or even care if they do notice? Have you ever been to a wedding where you left and realized the reception didn't include [fill in the blank]? As weddings become more personalized and DIY, I wonder if some of the big wedding traditions will fall by the wayside. What do you think?
(Personally, I loathe and have always loathed the bouquet toss,-even when I was 22 and had only had to participate in it once. My favorite scene EVER from Sex and the City is when the group lets the bouquet fall at their feet. If I never went to another wedding with a bouquet toss, I wouldn't mind one bit. Or even notice.)
Winter Whites
Apparently I am the only person in the free world who didn’t know that January was the time for White Sales. However, my inbox is a daily reminder that every store under the sun is discounting linens for bed and bath, among other exciting things.
Now is definitely the time to start thinking about your plans for 2009 and stocking up on what you need. Revamping a bedroom? Remodeling a Bathroom? Have towels or sheets that need replacing?
Below are a few of our favorites that have popped up in our email this week…

Present Idea #7: Eco Totes
For the eco-conscious recipient, why not pick up a cute reusable shopping tote as a gift for them?
Socially conscious and incredibly useful, there are so many styles out there to choose from for transporting groceries, bottles of wine, and whatever else they have in mind! Click on each photo below for a link with details.
Present Idea #6: Snuggly Laptops
For the recipient who seems glued to their laptop (really, who isn't a little overly attached to our computers?), how about a funky laptop sleeve? With a pop of personality, they’re bound to please the workaholic (or blogaholic) on your list this year!
Present Idea #5: Hot Water Bottle
Ridiculously practical, yes, but a hot water bottle is a thoughtful present for a friend in a cold climate or one who keeps the heat low. I think this one (picture at left) is cute.
Present Idea #4
Help your small, yippy dog gain favor with your significant other. Put a doggy jersey under the tree and your chihauhau or shizue may begin to look much more acceptable to the men in your life.
