—Patron XO Cafe Dark Cocoa coffee liqueur: Packaged in a red heart-shaped box (perfect for Valentine’s Day), there are two small bottles of this delicious tequila, which has the distinctive taste of fresh-roasted coffee and a chocolate flavor.
—Crave DUET vibrator: This is no ordinary aid: Not only does it have 24-karat gold plating and almost silent motors, but DUET operates at a variety of speeds and patterns—and comes with a USB memory stick with eight or 16 GB of storage.
—New Gillette razors: I’ve been using the ProGlide for some time, but now it’s in a SilverTouch edition that’s perfect for guys with sensitive skin (like myself). The Mach3 is also good, thanks to the fact that it lubricates while shaving.
—In the Valley of Elah: This criminally overlooked 2007 movie features a no-nonsense Tommy Lee Jones (although is there any other kind?) as a military father investigating his younger son’s death. Charlize Theron and Susan Sarandon co-star as, respectively, a helpful detective and Jones’ wife.
