The Wii is a great date idea and here’s why.
1. The Nintendo Wii comes with games that women like just as much as men. This is true—not just a marketing gimmick. You can play yoga, you can dance, you can pretend to be a rock star, and so much more.
2. You get to get up off your tush and actually do something instead of just staring at the screen for minutes at a time without blinking.
3. Most games come with a variety of different activities (sort of a game within a game, if you will) so you can spend hours playing without getting bored.
4. Studies show that your sex life improves when you exercise individually and when you exercise together. Play a little Wii Tennis or Wii Boxing and tell him to watch out.

5. If it’s one of your first few dates, then you can easily turn it into a drinking game to loosen things up. Can we say “loser goes to the kitchen for the next round of beers?”
6. The Nintendo Wii works for double dates too. Pair up and play doubles tennis or team Mario Cart for lots of date fun.

I’m refusing to go into any store this holiday season. Not because I’m suffering greatly from the perils of a downward economy, but because I love online shopping and reading other blogs about holiday gift ideas.
It’s just too fun.
And yesterday I found a blog that might have discovered this year’s #1 gift idea: Tiki Head Tissue.

Who wouldn’t want one of these?
I’m ever so greatful to Rhi in Pink for posting her list of holiday gift ideas and for having discovered the Tiki Head. She gets a compliment for having such a good sense of humor and for allowing me to buy my dad a gift that he’ll really put to good use.

Every day through New Year’s I’m participating in my very own Compliment Challenge. Check back every day to see who or what gets that compliment.
I’m proud of the Dating Tales list of Best Holiday Gifts for Your Girlfriend, but another blogger may have out done me on her list of gift ideas.
Mocha Momma is holding the most clever contest by asking her readers to comment on their greatest gift ever. What a wonderful way to collect holiday gift ideas! That deserves a compliment.
I suggest you go on over and check it out. Not just to get holiday gift ideas, but to sign up to enter a beautiful dress like this one:

1. Comfortable and cute underwear and camisoles. While sexy is nice, that’s more of a gift you than for her. She likes comfortable panties and bras that aren’t too restrictive, yet make her look good.

American Apparel Style 6311 Sheer Jersey Spaghetti Tank in 12 Colors
2. Repeat after me: Every woman wants a designer handbag. Maybe a Michael Kors Delancey bag? Buy now and you’ll get $20 off when you spend over $100 at eBags.com


3. If she already has a handbag, then she’d love a wallet. Maybe a Metallic Spritz Wallet to match her new Michael Kors?

4. A movie you can watch together. Dating Tales has a whole list of movies that guys love, but that doesn’t mean women don’t love them too. Nothing says I love you like some cuddle time on the couch.
5. I love my Clarisonic and I’m guessing if any woman is into healthy and beauty products, then she will too. Give her the Clarisonic Skin Care System. It’s the latest rage.
6. Simple and classic jewelry. Don’t try to impress her with your innovative taste. Buy a simple silver chain or hoop earrings that are a staple to every girl’s jewelry box. Amazon is a great place to shop. Search for jewelry and then sort by popularity. Remember, simple is better. Like this super cute Sterling Silver Charm Necklace.

Oh, holiday gift shopping can be such a drag. Some guys already have everything or they’re just plain difficult to please. To remedy your dilemma, here are ten gifts guy will enjoy–especially coming from you.
1. Paintball Gun!
What’s more fun that shooting each other?
2. Shirley of Hollywood and Fantasy Lingerie Stocking Stuffers Collection.
Have him open these before the rest of the family arrives.
3. A DVD you’ll know he love. Pick one or more from the Dating Tales list of the Top 16 Movies All Guys Like.
4. Any kind of sports gear for his car, like this Pittsburgh Steelers Window Film.


5. One or more gadgets he’ll go crazy over. We got 10 of them, count em’, on our list of Gifts for Your Gadget-Loving Guy.
