LuSHHus Happiness - M&Ms with Faces

M&M Face Tadpole

Now you can order M&Ms with pictures of your favorite person on them (or even pictures of yourself on them!)  I think this fun chocolate candy would bring happiness to most people. 

You can easily place your order online here: customers upload one or two photos, pick the desired colors, and include one or two texts to be printed on separate M&Ms.  M&M’s Faces are available in several sizes:

  • 7 ounce bags for $14.95 per bag (minimum order: 3 bags)
  • 5 or 10 pound bulk box for $162.50 or $312.50, respectively
  • a variety of 1.6 to 1.75 ounce party favors (minimum order: 20 bags), priced at $4.99–$6.19 per bag

The uses for M&M’s Faces are endless: centerpieces, wedding favors, wedding or baby shower favors, child’s birthday party favors, birthday gift, retirement gift, holiday fun, anniversary or Valentine gift, new baby…. 

Enjoy!

Dad would love these one-of-a-kind pieces of art featuring any or all members of the family.  My very own Mr. LuSHHus has been the recipient of three: one of us at our wedding, one of our son, and one of our dog.  And believe me, the more canvases you have on a wall, the better!

LuSHHus Luxury Tuesday - Bose iPod SoundDock for Father’s Day (or for Lazy Summer Days and Nights in the Backyard)

Bose Portable Sound Dock

It may cost $399, but the SoundDock portable digital music system from Bose is totally worth every penny if you like listening to your iPod at home, and that’s why it is my luxury pick for a LuSHHus Father’s Day gift.  (Note: I don’t have it but I do want it and I have seen it in action at my sister’s who does have it!)  The features of this little unit are unparalleled:

  • it runs on a rechargeable battery or plugs into the wall
  • it is quite small and has a built-in handle
  • it possesses awesome sound quality
  • it charges your iPod while it plays your music
  • it comes with a remote
  • it comes with a free travel bag when you purchase it here by June 28, 2008

For a little more ($490), you can also choose the Bose portable music package which includes the SoundDock, in-ear headphones, and a travel bag that carries your SoundDock safely and conveniently.

I’ll add this to my LuSHHus Father’s Day Gift Guide:

Happy Mother’s Day!

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers out there, especially to my one-in-a-million mom who we call Tootsie.  Mother’s Day may be coming to an end, but that’s no reason to stop honoring our moms and all the people in our lives who do so much for us. 

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls bloom. - Marcel Proust

In that vein, let’s start thinking about Father’s Day which we’ll celebrate on Sunday, June 15 this year.  I will start creating a Father’s Day gift guide that will surely help you find the perfect gift for the dad in your life, and I will be adding to the list each week until Dad’s Day is upon us.

I will be removing my LuSHHus Mother’s Day gift guide from the left sidebar (and replacing it with the LuSHHus Father’s Day gift guide,) but if you ever want to revisit the mom’s list you can find the items below and at ThisNext
