Mother’s Day is coming up (Sunday, May 11th) and I have started looking around for gift ideas. My mom is such a great person and I try to find something special each year since I don’t get to see her as often as I would like to. This year I came across some websites that were very interesting and helpful and thought others might enjoy them as well. I started at

Gifts.com, where they give you a variety of categories to view based on moms interests. Some examples are for the Eco mom, they have recycled bicycle parts clocks, solar chargers, and energy monitoring devices which also link you to Terra Pass. For the relaxation theme, I found heated body wraps, aromatherapy blankets and pajamas. A gift certificate to Oasis Day Spa is also always a nice gift for the mom in town. Practical around the home gifts or gadgets are also a great idea and can be found at Brookstone.

Red Envelope always has very stylish ideas with beautiful jewelry, floral kits, and journals.

Locally, I’ve always loved the downtown shops such as Quilts Unlimited, Innisfree, Chinaberry, Posh, or Londons. Many of these places will also ship. Hope these ideas help. Don’t forget mom.

What ideas do you have?

Ooo lala, without Kiki and on a search for a better cocktail, I may be exploring new places. I’ve compiled a list for all my loved cVillains of the best things to do in town. If you don’t like it, let me know. If you you think I forgot something, let us know in the comments.  Anyway, click through to see what’s happening.

Well, we’ve done a lot of valentine’s day posting for you’ll. I wanted to summarize everything and add a few more things we’ve forgotten.

We forgot:

X Lounge will have a few of the Cirque du Soleil Saltimbanco performers show up and give a pair of free tickets to a show at JPJ. Winner is to be randomly picked by the performers (maybe who ever is making out the best, who knows.). Make out with circus people for V-Day. WOOHOO.

Beer Run will be doing beer tasting.

Now for our trio of informative articles and a poll… »Read More

I was, admittedly, a bit surprised to learn from an earlier poll that many cVillain readers are married or in serious relationships. I just naturally assumed that anyone who derived perverse satisfaction from discussing aberrational sexual behaviors in haiku late into the night was single, too. I was mistaken, and so pleased to learn we are all freaks of nature together, every one of us. »Read More
