I met with a client this past weekend and she told me about something I had never heard of (shame on me!). What, you may ask, was it? A Man Shower.

A Man Shower?

Yes, a Man Shower! Like a bridal shower…but for the groom. Well, I guess there are a few other differences as well. Instead of gathering a bunch of guys for punch, cake, frilly games and opening presents, a Man Shower consists of a bunch of guys heading to home improvement and hardware stores to go shopping for “man stuff”. Now, we don’t want to be sexist – we believe the ladies can buy tools whenever they want and guys can go shopping as they please, but the idea of a Man Shower just makes me smile.

All in all, I think it’s a fabulous idea.

Want to suggest a Man Shower for your guy even though he doesn’t like home improvement nicknacks? How about going out hunting for top of the line bar-b-q equipment, golf or other sports stuff, cigar accouterments, or techy home and office gadgets?

I love this photograph more than words can describe. Found it on Tobi Fairley’s Flicker. And, if you don’t know who Tobi Fairley is, you most certainly should check her out!

I love sweets – candies, cakes, cookies, you name it. In fact, I think all of my teeth are sweet (I just love sugar that much)! That’s why I was thrilled when Thea from the Gumdrop Cookie Shop contacted me about her fabulous cookies! I agreed to sample a few if she sent some my way – I figured cookies that had gone through the mail just wouldn’t be as tasty and didn’t want to talk up something I had never tried. But, when my samples arrived, I gobbled them down with no problem. Yum yum!

Let me tell you a bit more about the Gumdrop Cookie Shop. They are all about customized sugar cookies. They have done, and can do, just about anything! Special messages, designs, logos, photos, monograms – the list goes on. They are popular for weddings, showers, birthday parties, anniversaries and company events. I think they would also be great for wedding professionals to have in their shops or to pass out at bridal shows.

Here are a few examples of the fabulous things the Gumdrop Cookie Shop has to offer!
