Gifts in a box just got cooler!

My birthday is Friday, and my fab friends have started to send me presents – one already standing out for its total awesomeness is the GiftyBox.
If you are addicted to beauty, you too will be addicted to this concept. Giftybox.com allows you to give the ultimate “gift of experience”… you choose a theme, while your recipient gets to choose the activity. Giving an experience is extremely personal, not to mention, if you are looking for a gift for “the person who has it all,” giving an adventure or a class or a winery tour might just be the best way to go.
How it works:
* As a buyer, you pick the theme you want to give based on whatever suits the personality of the recipient: winery tour/tasting, spa experience, adventure (e.g. scuba diving, scenic flights, horseback riding, whitewater rafting, rock climbing, 4×4 tours, etc.), classes (dance, martial arts, cooking, etc.)
* Once you pick a theme, the gift recipient receives a guidebook of all the options in the theme (beautifully packaged) so that he/she can choose the specific activity (based on preferences and location)
It may seem as if this is an expensive gift, but in fact, the prices range from $34.99 to $129. No joke! Hello, spa, recessionista!
This is really a great item for holiday gifts

Sweet
The beauty of a dream is you don’t let it go,
You don’t ever let it go.
Once in a while a girl comes along
And opens your heart like a spam tin
Just how long can it take?
A bow bends, a bow breaks
And then when it’s time to return the key
She’ll flash you a smile as she slams the door
But you didn’t have to do that to me
To show me just how cruel love could be
And cruel’s a show I kinda starred in before.
Listen: these things take time to reach ground zero
Change hits so HARD and the world turns so slow
These things take time and next time you’ll know
But the beauty of a dream is you don’t let it go,
You don’t ever let it go.
Now how come a hand as gentle as yours
Could soften a hard nut like this one?
It’s a marvel to me
The way you wrapped my heart up completely
Whenever I roam I can’t seem to find
As decent a love as the one I left behind
Keep it slow, though, for me girl
I never thought I’d sink in this deep
Oh darling, I’m sinking like a bug in a peach.
Listen: these things take time to reach ground zero
Change hurts so good and the world screams hello
These things take time but this time I know
But the beauty of a dream is you don’t let it go,
You don’t ever let it go.
You don’t ever let it go.
We won’t ever let it go.
