Get a snazzy gift and simultaneously make a statement!
The Human Rights Campaign store ( hrccornerstore.myimagefirst.com/store/ ) has a variety of gifts, ranging from a limited 2006 edition ornament by Christopher Radko to a 'Get Equal' sling bag.
Did the '70s ever actually leave? To see how much we cling to the era of disco and The Brady Bunch, look no farther than the fun eateries Kitsch'n on Roscoe and its sister restaurant, Kitsch'n River North ( both at www.kitschn.com ) . From dishes such as Twinkie tiramisu and the Seussian green eggs and ham to their decor, the dining spots keep the decade live and well—and now people can get Superfly Gift Cards ( no lie ) .
If your guy is hardcore ( and we mean 'hardcore' ) , then BoyzShop ( www.boyzshop.com ) is all you need to have a sex-cellent holiday season. From penis plugs to latex catsuits, this site definitely can make one naughty instead of nice. Ladies can certainly take a look at Early to Bed ( www.early2bed.com ) and shop for such items as Kinky Pinky Cuffs, stimulating gel and candy bras. Tulip ( www.mytulip.com ) also offers a wonderful array of toys; however, a gift certificate to a workshop on Spanking 101 might not be a bad idea, either.
Last week, the Gift Guide included a few calendars. However, The Freedom Is Not Free Calendar ( www.freedomisnotfree.com ) deserves special mention—and not because it features some hot members of the elite Reconnaissance Marines; these hunks are posing to raise money for wounded service members and their families. In a similar vein, naked ruby-playing Italian firemen are featured in the DVD of the Making of the 2007 Angeli del Rugby Calendar ( www.leeandrew.com/theproducts ) , which is being sold for a great cause—establishing the first gay and lesbian outreach center in Poland.
For the person who loves trivia, Homogenius ( www.homogeniusthegame.com ) makes a great gift. If you can answer questions ( that are divided into 'Rumor' and 'Potpourri' categories ) like 'What is the name of the 1994 film in which two women are set up on a blind date?,' you should be able to get out of the closet, which is the object of the game. ( By the way, the answer to the question is Go Fish. )
Boystown's The Leigh Gallery ( www.theleighgallery.com ) offers a huge assortment of art items in its space. Whether it's a woven necklace, wood-inlaid pens, watercolors or a sculpture of a gymnast, this site has something for every art aficionado. |
