Roses are usually thought of whenever it comes to setting the mood for a romantic candlelight dinner alright. But sometimes, it would be exciting if we could come up with something else, such as this Vineyard Valley Candle Set, perhaps? I think it isn’t a bad idea.

The set comes with one wine candle, one grapes candle and two cheese candles, each with a Merlot scent. Isn’t it fantastic? To top it off, the wine candle can burn for up to 10 hours, and the cheese and grapes for up to 2-3 hours. So you’ve got plenty of time for dinner, eh?

Place your order now at Wrapables for US$28.95.

If you love collecting unique and funny stuff, then I bet you wouldn’t want to miss this one: a toast clock. Yep, you heard me right! With size of 10″ x 9″, it’s completed with MDF backing and it only requires one AA battery (it’s already included when you buy, super, isn’t it?!). So if you have a great sense of humor, you should get this US$18.99 toast and hang it up on the wall.

Available at Perpetual Kid.

Just in case you are interested in what the snobs are reading online, here are snippets of what piqued our interest this week. Surprisingly, it’s not all about fashion.

The Superficial - Paris Hilton gets her own version of Hello Kitty. Does she have to ruin everything?

The Bag Hag has an advisory story about fake Hermes Birkins! Must read!!

Our Mattie Roberts has the best tips on being a practical diva! Why didn’t I think of using baby wash mitts to exfoliate?

Go Fug Yourself remembers Tia Carrere from the 90’s. She’s still stuck in the 90’s. Or perhaps the 80’s.

Outblush suggests a Dirt Devil Cone, a pretty displayable vacuum cleaner. I hate crumbs and I love pretty!!

Who should win Fab Sugar’s Chloe Edith contest? It’s too late for you to enter so do the only thing left to do, vote! My favorite is Simonsal but don’t let me influence you.

iGallop from Osim. We usually don’t like gadgets and definitely can see through gimmicks so when we say, “THIS WORKS”, you know it must be true. This unattractive piece of machinery works your abs and core by simulating galloping on a horse, but unless you have a separate gym in your house, I wouldn’t ruin the living room decor.

Mark Jacobs is good with women. He is getting Carolyn Murphy, Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell, Julianne Moore, Dita Von Teese and Selma Blair to pose nude for a campaign warning the dangers of skin cancer. Hilary Swank declined but she has floppy boobs so we stand by her decision.

From Gucci’s 85th Anniversary collection is a $1095 stuffed horse for really spoiled children or those with an equestrian themed room that is missing that final touch. More on Gucci’s annivesary collection to come. I’ll be upfront, it’s not good.

The kitty’s back with this super cute optical mouse and pad. Now you can complete your Hello Kitty frenzy by purchasing this irresistible set. Compatible with Windows and Mac, this newbie from Sanrio is ready to be your fun best friend during your late night assignments.

Enjoy more pink with this US$19.95 cuteness!

My mom loves collecting unique looking candles and she has tons of them in her room. So when I see this super cute collection from Tracy Porter, I remember her. I know she’d love to add these to her collection. What’s good about them is that after the candles are burned, you can wash the cup & saucer clean and enjoy your coffee or tea with it.

The candles are available in three different scents; Perfume, Ambrosia and Lemon Chiffon. Each is on sale for a lovely price of US$29.99.

I gotta admit that I am a total neat freak coz I always want everything on my desk well organized. So when I first saw this ’sweet couture’ desk set from Juicy Couture, I just knew that I had to get them! Not only can I organize my stationary neatly, but it literally looks so sweet on the desk too.

And the great part is, for a value as low as US$55, we’re entitled to get an adorable set which includes a pencil cup, a heart-print, bow-trim stationary holder, a sticker notepad for each day of the week, and 20 note cards with envelopes… Ahh, isn’t it lovely?!

I find this organizing clips are not only cute but they literally help us to prioritize those piles of paper on our desk. With letterpressed bold design, this set of 4 clips is neatly packaged in a small jar. So what do you say? I think it’s time to tidy up our messy desk, eh?!

Available at Fredflare for US$14 per set.

Alright, this post is specially written for all kitchenistas and tea lovers out there. So if you happen to be one of them, you’d better listen up and take a close look at this strawberry tea kettle. Seriously, it’s one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen so far!

This Japanese designed kettle is made of enamel on steel (both inside and out) and the handle, spout and lid knob (featuring a tiny banana!) are made of durable plastic. It’s absolutely a perfect element of whimsy to your kitchen. To top it off, not only is it cute, but it also can be used with all heat sources including gas, electric, radiant, halogen or ceramic heating sources… Ahh, making a cup of tea has never been this fun!
