Sheep Purse: For the softer-hearted woman
August 31, 2007
If your girlfriend is someone who would just rocket onto the other side of the street if she saw a sheep that wandered off its flock, and go all mushy about it, then the sheep purse that you see up there might be just the ideal gift for her.

Priced at $12, it may strike a tender cord with almost every woman who has a softer side to her, but then if common sense prevails, chances are she won’t talk to you for days thinking you misunderstood her love for animals. They didn’t say, men are from Mars and women are from Venus for nothing. Read more
