Put a ring on it

I love this ring by Digby & Iona. They will even engrave your initials. I think this is just about the sweetest way to show someone you really like them.

Kilts, Bagpipes and Nessie... oh my!

The perfect gift for the person that has everything. Gift Republic's box set grants its recipient ownership of 1 square foot of land in the Scottish countryside and the title of Laird or Lady! Not only do all your friends have to refer to you by your new title, you are also helping save the environment.

They make your dreams come true

When local business owners star in their commercials the result is usually a cinematic masterpiece. One day I would like to have a party, or possibly my wedding, at the Grand Prospect Hall. I am confident that they really could make my dreams a reality.

The Brooklyn Museum & Botanic Garden

It isn't often that I venture off the isle of Manhattan and head to Brooklyn, so when I do, I make sure it's worth my while. The Brooklyn Museum has never disappointed.

It was here that I was introduced to the work of Ron Mueck, the Australian artist that makes gigantic and miniature lifelike sculptures. My favorite thing about his work is that he doesn't try to fix life, he lays it out there with all its imperfections and the result is beautiful.

'Big Man'

The Brooklyn Botanic Garden is right next door and the perfect place to hang out after the museum. There is a cafe or I'm sure you could bring a picnic. Right now the Cherry Blossoms are at their peak. I hope I can make it there this weekend!

Correction: you cannot bring a picnic!
