I just got the Catholic Day Planner in the mail (that was fast!)

THE CONTENT IS GREAT! … I just thought it would look as professional and sturdy as the other secular ones I have had.

In my opinion, men are MUCH harder to buy for than women (but maybe that's because I'm a woman :-)) These are helpful, but I think it would be even better to do a sequel on gift ideas for men.

There's just something about warm salty liquidy stuff that gets my gag reflex going, I dunno... She might not like it if: …I don't know. I can't imagine someone not liking this cookbook.

I think most people who use straightening iron are those who wear their hair straight in the first place. It would be quite an effort to straighten truly curly hair. But for those looking for the sleek straight look, a straightening iron makes it smooth and practically crisp. <br />My hair goes both ways - and when I use a straightener - it just looks more polished. <br />I think a Chi is something someone would mention specifically - or at least a man would know if his lady makes an effort toward smooth hair. and for that lady it would be a real treat!! Thanks for the clarification Jennifer!

It would be perfect for any Catholic, man or woman! Thanks for all the great feedback and suggestions!

Nice sheets and a luxury showerhead would fit the bill with me.

Is the Catholic day planner good for men – or is it 'mom-centric'? I just got myself a day planner – but I think Mr. Burns might like it if it's basic Catholic and not Mom-centric.

Buying on the internet voids the warrenty. Also Costco has it on sale right now for $60.00.<br /><br />I love it, and I'm not waiting 'till christmas to use it!<br /><br />Katherine I did a little research on the Chi.

Not only is he implying that he doesn't like my curly hair, he's implying that I should spend 20 minutes every morning scorching it with heat. Terrible gift idea unless she specifically asked for it.

I gave my now-wife the cookbook as our first Valentine's Day present when we were dating back in 2002 (she loved and still loves soups), and it has become a staple of our dinner plans. However, an immersion wand (a Christmas present last year) has made many of the soups much easier to make. <br /><br />I also endorse some of Br. Victor-Antoine D'Avila LaTourette's other cookbooks, a la Kris. My first introduction to him was "This Good Food" which has since been reprinted with a different title. It has complete menu (appetizer/soup, entree, dessert) sections arranged by seasons. <br /><br />His cooking is 99% vegetarian, but while they're indespensible for Fridays, you never miss the meat whenever you make one of his recipes.
