Bachelor

Yesterday I asked you to take our lingerie survey. (And for those of you who shied away from two minutes worth of questions - do it now. Click here if you are a guy, ladies click here. The results so far are pretty eye-opening, and I'll post them here next week.)

We are offering a $300 gift basket to one lucky respondent, courtesy of Shirley of Hollywood, as added incentive to spend the two minutes. And a few of you emailed me and asked where they could get a gift basket of your own put together as a Valentine's Day gift.

I like how you're thinking. Rather than go the usual chocolates and flowers route - again - go personal, and get her some stuff that will ignite your V Day. (You can also think of it as a gift to yourself.)

A great way to do this is through SurpriseParties.com. Here's why: Surprise Parties specializes in hosting in-home "Girls Nights Out", where your sweet, innocent girlfriends, and all their sweet, innocent friends drink wine, giggle a lot, and buy naughty things all night. (Man, I love coming home after one of these.)

Who better to suggest what to stuff her basket with than one of their Surprise Hostesses? She's been to dozens of these parties, and witnessed the buying habits of hundreds of women. And she knows what products are available, so you don't have to spend hours searching for stuff.

Here's what you do: Go to www.surpriseparties.com. Click on STORE. Enter in your info, (they need to make sure you're over 18), and they will have a local rep contact you. (Or, if you prefer to pick out your own items, you can place your order online, and the local rep will contact you after for delivery.)

Spend a few minutes talking to her. She'll tell you what's available. She'll make suggestions. Like the Chocolate Body Pens you can use to write love notes all over her body. Or the Champagne Love Bucket filled with 100 scented rose petals, tea light candles, a special invitation card and a romantic music CD. All great stuff we wouldn't think to look for. Add some lingerie and your Valentine's Day could turn into Valentine's Week.   www.SurpriseParties.com
