Not On My Registry #1: A Kiss Forever

Nao by Lladro "A Kiss Forever" Porcelain Figurine

Bed Bath & Beyond Gift Registry

That special day yields a kiss to be cherished forever. Elegant figurine of a bride and groom sharing that first kiss as husband and wife is a beautiful way to commemorate a wedding day. This distinctive handcrafted porcelain figurine made in Spain by Lladro artisans will be enjoyed for generations to come. Measures 9" H. Wipe clean.

Now let me say that there is nothing wrong with this. In fact I thought it was very pretty when I first saw it... until I saw the price they're asking for it. I'm sorry but no one and I mean NO ONE needs a one hundred and fifty dollar, nine-inch statue. Honestly it's just going to collect dust and end up shoved in a cabinet.

Bottom Line:

$148.99 is way too much for something that has no purpose except to collect dust. If you're going to Bed Bath & Beyond for my gift pick up something I'll actually use.

Gifts I would (possibly) include from Bed Bath & Beyond

Reasonable:

Belgian waffle marker (Waring Pro Professional Waffle Maker $79.99)

Higher End:

Margarita Maker (Margaritaville Key West Frozen Concoction Maker $329.99)

Reason # 9,000 why I love Disney...

and Mickey Mouse...

Once upon a time when I was just a ween bairn my parents bought into the Disney Vacation Club and this allowed us to travel from cold Massachusetts to lovely Florida twice a year.

On one particular trip we travelled to Disney's Vero Beach Resort and during the stay I tried my hard at drawing Mickey Mouse in one of the many classes they have to entertain kids while their parents go off and do... something. I think that this only furthered my love for Mickey because I went on to draw him for the next 10 years or so.

Which may or may not have something to do with the reason why I HAD to buy this at Target...

and these:

(Sorry about the pictures not sure where the cables for the camera are so I had to use my blackberry)

Although I haven't decided where they're going yet! These are all dinner plates made by Zak!Designs and sold at Target. They're kind of plastic-y and I had no intention of eating off them so they're going on my wall and the bf is going to like it.

More on DVC later...
