Do Tell: Do You Own Any Breed Tchotchkes?
I don't consider myself to be an impulse buyer, but when wrapping up a business trip in Florida a couple years back, I spotted a whole kennel full of dog figurines at a gas station. This lil guy cost $6 and I couldn't resist!Even though his ears are rounder than I like to see in my dog's breed – the shop's version of a Frenchie was super chubby! – it totally made me giggle.

This Just In: Jonathan Adler and Simon Doonan to Tie the Knot
It's not every day that one of my favorite designers gets hitched, so I'm excited to tell you that designer Jonathan Adler and Barney's New York creative director (and author) Simon Doonan plan to legally tie the knot in mid-September in California, according to New York.
But their big day won't be your usual ostentatious celebrity wedding. In the New York article, Doonan was quoted saying, "I always thought we were married, so I don’t feel like celebrating the fact that the government’s allowing me to think I’m married.
iPig iPod Speaker: Love It or Leave It?
It's unfortunate that I look at the iPig iPod Speaker ($160) and can only think of pig references in movies, like Carrie and Deliverance, because I see him and get a little creeped out (maybe it's the dead black eyes).
He is, though, for all intents and purposes, very cute, especially when that purpose is to blast music from your iPod.
But for something that's kind of a novelty item (pig-shaped things not being every grown-up's tchotchke dream), my mouth is agape at the $160 price tag.

Your Two Cents: Is Valentine's Day Aimed at Your Wallet?
I know several girls and guys who think that Valentine's Day is no more than another reason to spend money. And while I can see their point with all of the ads and tchotchkes surrounding the holiday, I also think couples can find their own meaning and traditions in what the day is intended to represent. What do you think?
