‘Desperate Housewives’ Nicolette Sheridan’s eBay Ring Auction

April 13, 2006 | Posted by Allison as Romantic Gifts at 12:44 pm | Comments »

Now that Desperate Housewife Nicollette Sheridan is wiping her hands of ex-fiance Niklas Soderblom and taking Michael Bolton’s hand in marriage, the ring that was used for the Sheridan-Soderblom engagement is up for grabs.  One ring to woe you, one ring to woe the one you love, one ring to bring you together & bind you for all time.

The ‘one’ ring that was worn by Sheridan is now up for auction on eBay with a starting bid of $17,999.  The 1.76 carat round-cut diamond Tiffany bauble ring is a stunning, beautiful piece appraised at $19,470. 

Niklas explains his eBay move to People, “Why do I want to keep it?  I don’t need that thing.  It’s a nice way to finish off something that was nasty with something nasty.”

If you’re up for a little Desperate Housewives memorabilia, I don’t think it can be better than this drama affair.

Are You Ready for Valentine’s Day?

Well, the big, the bad, the ugly Valentine’s Day is just around the corner.  You probably have your flowers picked out, your dinner reservations made, your chocolate ordered and in hand; but just in case you’re like me and need a helping hand, here are some good ideas for his & hers.

Anyone and everyone who has tried MarieBelle chocolates, have come back raving and wanting more.  This year MarieBelle has just what you need for your sweetheart, a lovely decorated box filled with dark chocolate hearts painted red and filled with passion-fruit ganache.  Your darling with be drooling over the chocolates and you!  A box of 16 hearts sells for $36.  Go get yours today.

Did you say you needed an LED Block Clock?  Well look no further, this clock designed by Takumi in Japan is just what you’re looking for.  A measly $469 for this remarkable work of art and a great addition to any room.  It has many uses, telling time, of course, but a great weapon for any bandits about.  A block of wood and a clock, where could you go wrong?

 

 

 

 

Brooks Brothers has a treat in store for the one you love, a gift box of three Valentine-inspired boxer shorts.  The boxers are made of a fine woven cotton and come in three patterns:  red ground stripe, navy with hearts (my personal favorite) and Golden Fleece and red plaid.  This exceptional gift box sells for $48.

 

And you can’t forget the classic, the red, the long-stem roses.  But, why don’t you play it up this year with 100 of those bad boys.  Luxury Roses is offering 100 long-stemmed roses from Ecuador stuffed into an extra-large aluminum champagne cooler for your sweetheart, price tag $349. 

 

Well, no matter what you do this year for the one you love, do it from the heart and do it up right.

Peace & Love.
