Cocktail napkins make you laugh, keep your cocktail glass sweat off the furniture, clean your mouth after that yummy bite and you can share them with your friends. You can't do that with a birthday card!

Retro Flasks & Thermoses

We all know that there are some days when you MUST take your cocktail with you. We have been the hit at the movie theater viewing of Sex & The City when we snuck (or is the word now used as "sneaked...not sure when the past tense of sneak changed) in Cosmopolitans. Beats a regular old fountain drink at $5.

Well what are we supposed to do to transport our favorite cocktail? If you happen to have a thermos that will fit in your purse, good for you! And if you had your very own flask that fit oh so neatly into your hip pocket, all the better.

For the rest of us, here are the newest "MUST HAVE" items.

OLIVE SANDWICHES Retro Thermos collection.

Here is the "Gardening, Yoga, Bubble Baths, Medication...and I still want to smack somebody!" Thermos.

There is a matching Flask and Coffee Mug/Tea Cup.

Think about all those times that you needed a hot cup of coffee on the go. With the price of Starbucks now, this item is really a money saver too? You can pack enough coffee to get you through the morning.

And when you need a cold drink, well what was the old Thermos advertisement? "Keeps Hot Things Hot, Keeps Cold Things Cold! And as a bonus, it is too cute and stylish!




Here is the "Yoo, Hoo! Has anybody seen my sanity?" Retro Thermos from Olive Sandwiches.

There is a matching Flask too!

Bad Cat Napkins....Hilarious!

Bad Cat Napkins...MEOW!!

From the author Jim Edgar :

EXPOSED!

It's the dark side that most cat owners never see. The side that wouldn't be caught dead purring. Here, captured in all their infamy, are hundreds of trouble-makers, delinquents and dementos. They're bad cats, with bad intentions, bad habits and bad attitude. So the next time your sweet little ball of fur misses the litterbox, ask yourself...was it really an accident?

These funny cocktail napkins from Jim Edgar are a great compliment to the NY Time Bestselling book series.
