Here Comes the Bride - Decor for the Bachelorette Party

It's Bridal Season!  At Fantasy Gifts, this season is right up there with Christmas and Valentine's Day!  Let's face it, you simply cannot get decent bachelorette novelties at Party City.  Whether you're looking for simple and tasteful or naughty and nasty, Fantasy Gifts has you covered!  Bachelorette Parties encompass so many novelties - there's tableware and decor, novelties, edibles, games and clothing to name a few.  So to make things easy, let's break this blog down and just focus on decor first.

I'll be honest - you can probably get simple and tasteful at Target or Party City.  But even if that's the route you're going, you can still throw in a little bling to keep the party interesting! Start with your color scheme.  Most bachelorette decorations are pink - but don't let that define you.  Pick the bride's favorite colors.  You can stay bright and fun and avoid pink all together.  At Fantasy Gifts we have a significant lesbian population who thankfully are now able to marry in New Jersey.  We also have a number of older brides.  These groups tend to eschew anything pink or penis related.  No worries, although we do have your typical pink plates, we also feature plates with no penis' or pink in sight!  One of our favorite plates, the Let's Party Plates work well for a host of occasions and also have napkins and cups.

But let's face it, most brides do want the whole fun penis themed!  It's about the only time in your life you can feed you grandmother Penis Pasta Salad with Pecker Party Ware.  You can mix up some drinks in our Pecker Cocktail Shaker, throw in some Penis Ice Cubes and serve them up in the Sexy Bitch Pimp Cup.  Appetizers can be served using our Pecker Cocktail Picks.  And of course, no bachelorette party is complete without a giant Penis Cake topped with our Mini Pecker Candles and Pecker Cake Sprinkles.  Enjoy!

Mothers Need Romance Too!

Listen up guys!  Sunday is Mother's Day!  While the day is traditionally devoted to the woman who gave you life, let's think for a moment about the woman who gave your children life.  After all, before she became a mother, she was your lover.  

Do you remember what your life was like before you had children?  When sex was a spontaneous act that didn't require as much scheduling as a White House briefing?  When the only reason you were too tired to have sex was because you were tired from having so much sex?  BC (before children) you could have morning sex, afternoon sex, late night sex.  You could have sex in the bedroom, the bathroom, the kitchen, the laundry room.  You could use loud sex toys, watch porn in the living room and moan as loud as you want to.  

Children certainly change everything.  But don't despair, you can still recapture romance without shipping your kids off to the babysitter.  First thing, set the mood.  We've all heard foreplay begins at breakfast.  So on Sunday morning, start off with breakfast in bed.  Bring in her favorite breakfast on a nice tray.  A flower from the backyard would be a nice touch.  And don't forget the card!  Most women deem a card more important than an actual gift.  Let her know that today is all about her.  

After the kids go to bed, the real celebration can begin.  First, set the stage.  Arrange the room with scented candles and strew the bed with rose petals.  Try our game Rose Petal Seductions which not only sets the stage, but also sets a fun, playful mood - perfect for romance!

Then give her a sensual massage.  Don't know how to give one?  Sinclair makes a great DVD entitled The Joy of Erotic Massage.  This DVD features real couples explicitly demonstrating both massage techniques and advanced methods to relax, arouse and satisfy!  Don't forget the massage oil.  We like Kama Sutra's Massage Oil in sweet almond or use an unscented massage oil.  Some candles turn into heated massage oils, like the Tantric Soy Massage Candle.  This luxurious massage candle melts into a silky, nourishing oil that will glide over skin as it fills the room with a warm, sexy scent.   

Next it's movie and a toy time!  Pop in a couple-friendly movie, like Digital Playground's Pirates Collector's Edition.  It's the movie everyone talks about and is the biggest epic in the history of adult films.  It has a story line and a touch of humor - perfect for both of you.  Follow up with a high quality, couples toy.  Our best-seller is the We Vibe 4. 

This is one remote you won't have to fight over!  Worn while making love, the We-Vibe 4 boasts more power, a fully waterproof design, a convenient wireless remote control, and a wireless charger base.  Best of all, it's whisper-quiet and super powerful.  By the time the evening ends, you'll remember why you got together in the first place and you'll recapture the romance of life before children.  Best of all,she'll owe you for Father's Day in June too!

May is Masturbation Month!

What do 90% of men and 65% of women do on a regular basis but never admit to?  It's masturbate!  How  is it that something so normal and natural has become socially stigmatized?  Our guess is religion has something to do with it!  You can be sure as soon as Eve found the apple, Adam found his penis.  Masturbation has been found depicted in prehistoric cave paintings.  In Malta, a cave figure depicting a woman masturbating dates from 4 B.C.  Indians described it in the Kama Sutra.  Ancient Egyptians believed the god Atum created the universe by masturbating to ejaculation, and the ebb and flow of the Nile was attributed to the frequency of his ejaculations.  Egyptian Pharaohs were therefore required to masturbate ceremonially into the Nile.  Even as late as the 17th century nannies encouraged their male charges to masturbate before going to bed.

When did it all go wrong?  In 1716 the first "blog" or pamphlet entitled "Onania, or the Heinous Sin of Self-Pollution, and All Its Frightful Consequences, in Both Sexes, Considered: With Spiritual and Physical Advice to Those Who Have Already Injured Themselves by This Abominable Practice"  was published and distributed in London.  It offered letters and testimonials from men who allegedly were falling ill and dying from the effects of compulsive masturbation.  The pamphlet was so wildly popular, it was published over 60 times in several different languages.  It quickly spread to the New World where New Haven, Connecticut made masturbators eligible for the death penalty.  By the end of the 20th century, children were discouraged from masturbating by the use of bandaging or tying of their hands and genitals, covering their genitals with cages, sewing the foreskin shut, and electrical shock.  Girls were encouraged to have their clitoris removed to prevent them from masturbating.

It wasn't until Dr. Alfred Kinsey in the 1940s and 50s began researching and studying masturbation that it began to loose some of its social stigma.  The Kinsey Report published in 1948 found that masturbation was an instinctive behavior for both men and women.  By the 1980s parents were being told by their pediatricians that masturbation was normal and healthy.  However, it wasn't until 1994 that the masturbation debate became front page news.  That was the year the surgeon general of the United States, Dr. Joycelyn Elders, was forced to resign when she mentioned as an aside that masturbation should be included in school curriculum as  a safe and healthy practice.  By the way, the president who forced her to resign was none other than Chief Wanker, Bill Clinton!

Dr. Elders' forced resignation set off a firestorm in the gay community, among others.  As a direct protest to the resignation, Sexologist Carol Queen, with the help of San Francisco based sex store Good Vibrations, helped organize National Masturbation Day in 1995.  Their purpose was to protest against a culture which viewed masturbation negatively and deliberately excluded it from the formal education system.  It quickly extended to Masturbation Week and now the entire month of May is devoted to this activity.  There is now even a Masturbate-a-thon in which participants masturbate to raise money for charities while dispelling social taboos.  Philly has its own Masturbate-a-thon although it continues to be a source of outrage for the more conservative establishment.  Politcal Outcast Magazine actually declared Philly's masturbate-a-thon to be the death of our nation!  

In honor of Masturbation Month, Fantasy Gifts is offering a free lubricant with the purchase of any masturbator.  Whether its a disposable masturbator, the Fleshlight, Fantasy Gifts has something for every body to celebrate Masturbation Month!
