Beau Joie Champagne

Beau Joie may not be the best known chanmpagne maker, but they certainly make one of the most beautiful bottles around. They unveiled their very first bottle in Vegas in 2010, and this year they’re releasing their first Rose. On the left is their original champagne, and on the right is the bottle for their new Rose, which is 50% Pinot Noir and 50% Chardonnay from Epernay, France. The bottle is 100% copper, which helps keep the bottle cold and provides a better grip than a traditional glass bottle. It’s also made of second generation copper scrap.

The bottles will hit the market just in time for Valentine’s Day, and will be priced at between $125 and $135. The Rose is already getting a good reputation for its crisp and fruity taste, and it will definitely make a fabulous romantic gift for that special someone.

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.

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.

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.
