hmmmmm...I imagine the hug me pillow as a great conversation starter. I'd put a gold band on it's hand. Pillow talk with a extra hand. The talking fly swatter...I sadly own. It's funny and ultimately practical. It matches my talking Homer beer opener. But WTH with the gun shaped eggs and pancakes? Do you place the gun ones alongside the Mickey Mouse ones? Too funny.

I actually liked the gun mold. I'm weird that way. I have molds and cookie cutters in all sorts of weird and unusual shapes.

Personally I would use it to make cookies for hunters or cops. But that's just me.

Or perhaps adding just that special touch on a "Dear John" basket, yes?

My dog would adore the head massager. And conveniently enough, they even demonstrate in the photo that it fits dogs. :lol: When I first glanced at the photo of master and pet wearing matching metal space-age gear, my initial thought was: A human-pet ESP device! Score! No more guessing why your dog is staring at you!

I actually bought my aunt the pillow as a gag for her birthday. She had just broke up with this loser after a string of losers. I told her this was the only man she needed to cuddle with at night. She loves it. And you know what, it's perfect for cuddling babies for a nap, lol:)

I...kinda want one. It looks all snuggly and stuff, and it looks like it would fit better than trying to curve around my body pillow...

The look on the boy's face who got the FEMA coloring book says it all. When in elementary school, we were given a home made coloring book in science class w/characters such as Sal Monella - wash those hands, kiddies!

Yeah there is that too, but why waste the time on a dear john basket when I can celebrate instead ????? a couple hundred rounds some gun shaped cookies and a shooting range.

It's funny what gift is ok for a woman of one age versus another. When I was in my 20's anything domestic was not appreciated. Now, well, I would soooooo do a guy if he got me a dyson vac or a really nice kitchenaid mixer. However, I can see being in my late 40's and stating that jewelry is preferred and that I will buy my own home appliances, thank you. lol.

Funny, that'sexactly how I celebrated my last break up. Cookies and a couple of clips unloaded at the range. Made me feel much better.

My personal favorite was number one:

Note to self:Do not buy the hug me pillow when I start dating again as it will probably put me in the dog house from seeing the girlfriend for a very long time.;-) :lol:

I haven't managed to make it out the range as of yet. It's a little difficult to get out there when you can't walk. I will get out there once I get the chance. I've got I don't know how many boxes of ammo waiting to be used up.

I kind of like the pillow...at least it doesn't breathe in your face. I have no need for the talking flyswater, but I Imagine my dogs would get a kick out of it. :toocool:
