Favorite Cinematic Couples

Favorite Cinematic Couples 5

With Valentine’s Day coming up so soon we have epic love on the mind. Nothing shows the ups and downs of love better then the cinema, but we were unable to pick a single favorite fictional couple. Our list is by no means comprehensive, but it covers a variety of fictional love:

Moonrise Kingdon

 

 

 

 

 

 

Moonrise Kingdom told the story of first love. It was quirky, fun, and entertaining. The young couple, Sam and Suzy, decide to run away together. We find it impossible not to enjoy this young love.

Pretty In Pink

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pretty in Pink. We couldn’t really make this list without including a John Hughes film. The young couple, Andi and Blane are considered an unfit match due to different social classes. Andi, played by Molly Ringwald, is from the ‘wrong side of the tracks.’

Casablanca

 

 

 

 

 

 

Casablanca. While our classic film knowledge is a bit limited, this love is undeniably epic. The backdrop of 1940s Casablanca, this love story unfolds dramatically, but is doomed to fail.

Romeo and Juliet

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Romeo and Juliet. We know that this is a painfully obvious choice, but we had to include it. Whatever version suits your fancy, this love story is as old as it is timeless.

lady and the tramp

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lady and the Tramp. This animated classic makes us nostalgic for the Disney films of our childhood. Like the aforementioned Pretty in Pink, this couple endures despite the pressure of societal norms.

The Notebook

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Notebook. This is a modern day classic. If you haven’t seen it (c’mon, who are we kidding, everyone has seen it), stop what you are doing and watch it now. It tells the story of a love that endures a lifetime with the highest highs and lowest lows.

What films would you include on this list?

The Sweetest Romances Bloom with Gifts from FTD

It’s that time of year when romance is in the air and sweethearts everywhere are inspired to find new and original ways to tell each other, “I love you!” At FTD, we’ve been making Valentine dreams come true for more than 100 years, and for 2014, we offer an exciting array of luxurious gifts that go beyond the expected, and into the exceptional, at a range of prices.

Flowers, and especially roses, are an iconic choice. While red is a familiar favorite, consider surprising your sweetie with roses in the year’s trendiest hues – like lavender, or in a fun and vibrant mix of several bright and beautiful colors.

This year, we’re finding, more and more people are accompanying their bouquets with a sweet treat to create a loving, multi-sensory Valentine experience. Among the top choices are FTD’s new and exclusive collection of Chocolate Dip Delights.  Artisan chocolatiers start with big, ripe, juicy natural fruits and berries, along with scrumptious cakes and cookies, and make them even more delectable with generous hand-dipping in luxurious 100% real, premium chocolate. They’re the perfect gourmet goodie for all your sweeties, whether they’re women, men or children.

What better way to kick off a night of romance than with Chocolate Dip Delights™ Valentine Real Chocolate Covered Strawberries? Each plump, vine-ripened strawberry, specially selected for its size, sweetness and juiciness, is hand-dipped in velvety 100% real chocolate – dark, milk or white – and striped with ruby red drizzles.  Yum!

Or, choose from one of these great ways to say “Be Mine!”

  • Belgian Chocolate Covered Oreo® Cookies… the world’s favorite cookie made more wonderful with a delightful dunk in our premium, 100% real chocolate.
  • Happy Valentine Cake Pops are one of the trendiest treats and an inspired way to send “hugs and kisses” to all the loves in your life.
  • Valentine’s Day Cupcakes hand-dipped in Chocolate Dip Delights signature 100% real Belgian chocolate−dark, milk or white−and decorated for Valentine’s Day.
  • S’more Hugs & Kisses reinvents the classic campfire treat with a fun and festive look just right for Valentine’s Day gifting.
  • And Red Hot Love Valentine’s Day Chocolate Covered Jalapenos to help you bring a delicious, exciting and spicy touch to a special relationship.

Here’s an idea! Make the love you share this Valentine’s Day, last though the year. Choose from our Chocolate Dip Delights Belgian Chocolate Covered Dessert or Fruit Club and keep the sweetness flowing for your choice of 3 months, 6 months or a full year!

Don’t forget to check out the bouquets for which FTD is world famous. You’ll find roses with stems up to 5-feet long, long-stem roses in fun, fresh and colorful mixed bouquets, and arrangements ready to display in exclusive, sparkling, heavy-glass keepsake vases they’ll cherish for years.  And one of the great things about ordering roses from FTD is your assurance that no matter which bouquet you choose, the blossoms will be hand-chosen and meet our strict standards for excellent bloom formation, color and freshness.

Finally, one bit of advice we always share−order early to get the best selection and price. Order your Valentine’s Day gifts now and schedule delivery for Valentine’s Day, or better yet, have your gift delivered early that week (Valentine’s Day is on Friday), so your sweetheart can be the envy of the office from Monday through Friday.

Trendy Items on a Budget: Forever 21

Here at Ebates we are all about shopping on a budget. Obviously. When it comes to women’s clothing it sometimes seems impossible to stay on budget and enjoy some of the more fun trends populating our 1700+ stores. Seriously, who has the funds for that? One of our favorite places to snag some super trendy pieces on a budget is a new addition to Ebates – Forever21. While the quality may not be the same as a Macy’s or Nordstrom, the trendiest pieces may not be something you want to wear in the long term. While the country stays bundled up avoiding the Winter blues, we are eyeing some great Spring trends at F21:

F21DRESSES

 

Their dress selection is great – sundresses are versatile an comfortable. They have some boho looks, some geometric looks, some ombre dresses, and a handful of classic items.

F21JACKETS

 

Learning to layer is a great goal. One of the most important wardrobe items is great outerwear. Forever 21‘s great prices make building an eclectic and versatile outerwear collection a viable option for someone on a tighter budget.  From a play on denim jackets to leather-look sleeves, their collection is trendy and seasonal.

F21Necklaces

 

Baubles, baubles, baubles! Forever 21 has a VAST selection of statement necklaces. They do have many more delicate and simple options, but when it comes to getting more bang for your buck, the trendy choices are nearly overwhelmingly tempting.

F21PANTS

Forever 21 does offer a great selection of basic jeans, but they also have some very trendy and fun choices like chambray harem pants and tuxedo stripes. Remember – you aren’t paying for quality, but you will get to participate in any and every trend you want.

F21SHOES

 

Forever 21 did recently launch a line of leather shoes – running at about $60 each, they could be amazing quality, but is that worth risking discomfort? Buying shoes online is always tricky. but our team decided to try it out and order a pair, because, hey – $60 leather shoes could just be amazing. Don’t miss out on 2.0% Cash Back on your trendy buys at Forever 21!
