Where Art Thou Romeo?


Mother's Day is coming up in about 3 weeks. How are you going to let your man know what you want? Will you dog-ear pages in a catalog and sheepishly put the catalogs on his nightstand? Will you put your best friend up to asking him what he's going to do and have her discretely offer a few better suggestions? Do you just buy something for yourself, wrap it up, and open it in front of him thanking him for the gift you really wanted? Or do you keep your mouth shut and secretly wish he had some kind of imagination and recollection of all the hints you've been dropping to actually pick out a gift for you by himself... and then you are disappointed? If any one of these scenarios is true, you need Romeo and Juliet to lend you a hand.

Romeo and Juliet, a classic. But sometimes a classic needs a little updating, a little facelift. RomeoShops is a store for all women out there who need to give their man a little "hint" about how to buy gifts. The store was created with the concept that men just don't know how to shop for their girlfriend/wife... and RomeoShops is here to help.

The website shows some fabulous gifts, some luxurious, some practical.
Swarovski Maison Necklace
Lavender Heat Wrap
Candy Stripe Corset PJ's
Wine Tasting Party Kit
Desperate Housewives Video Game
And much, much more.

What is also really great about this website is the Date Reminder System and the Gift Finder. Sign your man up for the Date Reminder System and he'll never have an excuse to have missed a holiday! Show him the gift finder system where he answers 5 questions about you. The answers to those questions lead him to a page with gift suggestions - clever!

Ladies, if you are ever feeling stumped on a gift for your man, now there is JulietShops. Same concept, but it's just for us! However, I'll remind you of this site closer to Father's Day.

Lastly, if you are lucky enough to live in the Twin Cities area, you can check out The Romeo and Juliet Shop in downtown Minneapolis. They are located on 5th and Nicollet Mall in the Gaviidae Commons, first floor. The space is amazing with even more gifts from which to choose.
