Roses are Red

Violets are Blue

Look what we’ve got for you…unforgettable Gifts For Your Valentine!

Whether you are celebrating Valentine’s or Galentine’s Day, February 14th is creeping up and it will be time for Valentines.

Let’s be frank, you either love it or you hate it. While some would say that Valentine’s Day is a day for sharing with your significant other gifting boxes of the usual box of chocolates…it doesn’t have to be the same way of celebrating every year! It’s 2019, why not switch up your routine?  If you want to spend Valentine’s Day eating chocolate(that’s fine), having a night full of relaxation with a hot cup of Cocoa or Tea,  playing a Board Game or watching your favourite Romantic Comedy – that’s lovely! If shopping for Valentine’s Day is a little overwhelming, Danna Bananas has compiled a list of Valentine’s Day Must Haves that can be enjoyed solo, or with your significant other in crime. Scroll down and see what cupid has approved this Valentine’s Day…all we can say is some fun Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas will catch your eye!

1. What is the first word that comes to mind when you say Valentine’s Day? Did you say chocolate? If yes, that’s what we’re dreaming of— a hot cup of cocoa and lots of it served in none other, a Gnome Mug. What’s better than spending the night in, bundled up in in your home sweet warm home sipping away? The answer is nothing, nothing is better! Our product of choice for Valentine’s Day is:

Humble Gnome Mug

2. Your tea lover will lust for this heart-shaped tea infuser as a hot cup of tea infused with love is soothing to the heart. the Tea To My Heart Tea Infuser will steep your love affair even more:

3. If  you feel it’s too cold to venture out to seek entertainment, how about a fun board game that will not only raise your temperature but beat your cabin fever too? Adult XXX Charades is similar to charades but with a twist<wink>…a titillating party game full of suggestive innuendos to keep your party entertained. Remember to play at your own risk!

4. Practice safe drinking with the Wine Condom. Here is a solution for saving your wine as you need to protect your Pinot Grigio and sheath your Chardonnay.

PS. Love Is In The Air(always) so gifting all year long and not just on Valentine’s Day would be a heart felt gesture.

Is sending a Valentine’s Day card to the special people in our lives passé? The same question goes for Christmas cards? If you send out Christmas cards,  I then believe the answer is no. Once or twice a year, pay it forward, support your postal service and buy that stamp. Snail mail still needs to be utilized as it can’t disappear as many people rely on it. We all sent out Valentines when we were young. Why can’t we do so as adults? Have a little heart-to-heart and write your main squeeze a sweet (or spicy) Valentine’s Day love letter. Everybody deserves a surprise in their mailbox that isn’t a bill.

Give the unexpected…a paper card.

Express your love and wish some Happy Valentine’s Day or Galentine’s Day! Send directly using the old fashioned method,  snail mail  these lovely vintage Valentines Day greetings.

Valentine’s Day cards are the perfect way to express your love, the most beautiful feeling in the world!

If you’re looking for something more than just a card check out our Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas at Danna Bananas.

The Month Formerly Know as November – Movember

Start your engines…No, your stubble and get growing!

It is that time to bring awareness to prostate cancer, testicular cancer and men’s health issues.

In reality,  this matter should be discussed every month but with November here, we mean Movember, it’s given a special honor throughout this particular month.

During Movember, mustaches (moustaches, stache, mouth brow, flavour savour, soup strainer, lip foliage etc.) are grown. Some do it with enthusiasm and some with disdain but at the end of the month it is for a good cause.

Participants collect donations from family, friends or work-mates for their growing efforts so this disease can be obliterated.

Thank you for sacrificing your upper lip to help abolish prostate cancer and men’s health issues. Clean shaven to stubble, to a full grown stache after thirty days, equals a celebration of the mo and your contribution of funds and awareness!

We have a great new product to honour Movember and your mustachey, hairy accomplishment that you will be nuts about!:)

Bicyclists rejoice…Introducing Bike Balls!

Congratulations Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on your royal engagement! The worst kept secret has become official. It is just been announced that May, 2018 will be the big month for the royal wedding. With the wonderful news that poured out to the world yesterday, why not ride with the Queen and have a heart to heart with Queen Elizabeth about the forth-coming royal nuptials?

Ride With The Queen

Nobody wants to be alone in their car. Chauffeur the Queen of England around town and be giddy about the happy couple together. Simply peel off the car sticker and place the Queen’s head on the exterior rear passenger window. Your Majesty will sit on the rear side. Ride with The Queen will attract a lot of attention so make sure your car is sparkling clean.

The Ride With The Queen Car Decal will have everyone doing a double take and will evoke a lot of rip roaring chuckles. To greet the Queen, one must curtsy.  Be prepared for people curtsying on street corners as you drive by with the monarch. One more piece of advice, a spot of tea is recommended for your joy ride.

The Ride With the Queen car sticker makes a great Christmas Gift for the monarchist in your life. Check out more hilarious Christmas gift ideas at Danna Bananas.

Happy Taco Tuesday Eve!

Let’s Taco ‘Bout it…this Mexican food staple!

Stuffing your tortilla with tons of scrumptious toppings like salsa, guacamole and veggies puts a smile on most people’s bellies.

Tacos are not only nutritious, delicious but an easy work week meal idea as planning what to eat is a tedious task. You can eat them with meat or without – it’s whatever your tummy desires. As for vegetarian tacos, there are a lots of recipe ideas that substitute meat with fish or beans.

Here is the problem: You prepare your fillings, you stuff your shells and then voila…the TACO falls over, everything spills out and your shell cracks in half. Not a good start to dinner and not only is this frustrating for you, but imagine how little ones feel.

The Tricerataco Taco Holder will save the day, we mean your meal. Kids and kids at heart will roar with approval.

I bet you never expected an extinct dinosaur would assist you in the kitchen. This BPA Free Tricera TACO Dinosaur Taco Holder stands on four stable legs and is ready to be stuffed with your favourite toppings. No need to go back for seconds as it will carry not one but two tacos.

With the holidays fast approaching, you maybe looking for some Christmas Gift Ideas, foodie gifts at that.

Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is just around the corner on May 10th. Keep calm as we have your Gifts for Mom covered. In all fairness, Mother’s Day is essentially the easiest holidays to buy for. Do you ever remember your Mom not liking a gift you gave her? Need some suggestions that are not the conventional perfume, flowers and framed photo route. Here are ideas that are utterly fun, functional, memorable and unforgettable. The woman in your life deserves the best!

Gifts For Mom

Everyone needs a helping hen hand in the kitchen! The Nested Measuring Cups are ideal for measuring dry ingredients.

You know Mom…she loves to put special touches on things. The Flower Egg Molder would complement any meal she makes. Used during the cooking process to hold an egg in the shape of a flower, this is a novel way to dress up a traditional dish. By adding green garnishes to the plate, it is possible to create an edible flower garden.

During the 50s, the woman was expected to shop for a meal, prepare it and clean up afterwards to keep the husband and household happy. Plus many other duties.  Well, times have changed as we all know! The How to Keep Your Husband Apron pokes fun at these oh-so-yesterday, politically incorrect secrets to a happy marriage. This will definitely put a smile on your Mom’s face while marveling at how much times have changed.
