An Anniversary Cheesecake

A few days ago I posted a plea for gift suggestions--I had forgotten about our anniversary and had only a couple of days to come up with a suitable gift. Thanks to everyone who tried to bail me out! After totally stressing, I realized that often the simple pleasures are the best.


He loves peanut butter and jelly cheesecake, and this one hit the mark. I've posted the recipe on The Peanut Butter Blog in case you need a last-minute gift of your own (or just need some cheesecake!).

New Singapore Twist Chains

Thanks to everyone who posted suggestions for an anniversary gift for Mr. LuckyGirl. Today's the big day, so I'll let you know how it turned out tomorrow.

This week I've added new sterling silver Singapore twist chains to my inventory. They are light and airy, and the twists in them accentuate their sparkle while being extremely tasteful. They're attractive enough to wear alone or layered with other chains, and also work great with small and medium sized pendants.

I've got them in 16-inch, 18-inch, 20-inch, 24-inch, and 30-inch lengths, and they're all in my Etsy shop. I haven't managed to get them in my eBay store yet, so if you're a die-hard eBay shopper and want one just let me know (but they're less expensive on Etsy!).

Recycled Plastic Bags Made This?

I know that Mr. LuckyGirl wouldn't be thrilled with this large tote bag for an anniversary gift--but I would! It was crocheted by hand from old plastic bags and yarn. Recycling just doesn't get much better than this. Fully lined, and a roomy 24" at the bottom, I might even be able to get most of my stuff in here. Maybe. You can find similar bags, and even a yoga mat bag made in a similar fashion, at Saju.

Help! I Forgot My Anniversary!

I have been so scattered lately that I forgot my wedding anniversary is in a few days--so I have nothing for Mr. LuckyGirl. He's extremely difficult to buy gifts for, so I usually start looking several months ahead of time. In fact, I should be trying to figure out his Christmas gift now, that way I'll have found the perfect present in time. So what do you buy for an awesome husband who doesn't wear cologne or aftershave, jewelry, or even neckties?



Here's the Valentine gift I got for him. It's felted pottery from Valerie's Gallery, and he loved it! It now holds his keys, wallet, cell phone, and other tiny treasures. But how many felted bowls does a guy need?

I need suggestions--please help me find Mr. LuckyGirl the perfect anniversary gift!
