Zipper (www.zippergifts.com) is a California-based retailer that sells whatever it thinks is interesting. Zipper looks to join humor with beauty and elegance. We think that they do it very well.

You can never be quite sure what you will find on Zipper. In general, the items are what we would consider accessories - home accessories, office accessories, personal accessories and so on. There is a very nice selection of articles for entertaining, such as a nifty little cake server with a high heel, or stemless wine glasses. We are hoping those might be more difficult to knock over.

Your Girlfriends love to laugh, and many of the Zipper choices tickle us. Their luggage tags will not only help you to find your bag, but will warn others away with a zinging joke. The tags are also quite well-priced. The

wedding cake toppers are sold individually, so whatever the makeup of the happy couple, you can top the cake appropriately. For that matter, polygamists would find these toppers convenient, also!

Zipper also sells a handful of books that they love, plus a small selection of artwork. We're sorry to tell you that we can't link you directly to the items we're mentioning. BUT - the site

is not huge, so you can check everything out without being overwhelmed. Be sure to look at the Kids, Dogs, Fun section - who could resist a title like that? We know of at least one teenager who would love the smoke-ring blowing machine. Fortunately, he never reads this newsletter, so our secret is safe.

As we mentioned earlier, Zipper sells what they sell because they like the stuff.  So do we.

Your humorously elegant Girlfriends,

Suzanne and Alex
