If you answered mostly A’s…your Halloween personality is SEXY.

You get a thrill by raising eyebrows when wearing very little. If you’ve got it—flaunt it! That’s your motto! This Halloween, choose something that will make your mate’s jaw hit the floor. For girls, try the sexy cheerleader or the classic French maid! For guys, who needs a costume? Grab a wig and a loincloth: Hello Tarzan!

If you answered mostly B’s…your Halloween personality is SCARY.

If you were picked to be on Fear Factor—you would be thrilled to eat some bugs. Pass the salt! This Halloween, pick something that will give your friends the heebie-jeebies! After all, that’s what Halloween is all about! Try the Skeleton Bride, the Soprano’s-style gangster or the tried-and-true “Scream” mask.

If you answered mostly C’s…your Halloween personality is TRADITIONAL.

Your idea of the perfect Halloween is a night filled with jack-o-lanterns and dunking for apples—you have celebrated like this since you were a tyke—why mess with success? Pick a classic costume that never goes out of style! Be a witch, a pirate or a cowboy and enjoy a night of trick-or-treating with friends!

If you answered mostly D’s…your Halloween personality is TRENDY.

You own the same pair of jeans as Lindsay Lohan , you drive a hybrid car and you only drink Starbucks’ iced caramel macchiato, tall—hold the sugar, make it a skinny! You know what is hot and what was so five minutes ago. Try pulling a few items from your closet and a few from the store (iParty is our favorite!) to become Paris Hilton (little dog not included), pregnant Britney Spears (hubby Kevin Federline not included), Martha Stewart (ball and chain not included) or Donald Trump (comb and brush not included).

GourmetStation Introduces A Unique Valentine’s Day Gourmet Dinner Gift

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) January 22, 2006

GourmetStation, the premier provider of upscale gourmet dinners delivered nationally, announced today the introduction of their Valentine’s Day 2006 Fantasy Menu. Romantics of all ages are seeking ways to impress their significant other with a unique Valentine’s Day gift or Valentine’s Day dinner. GourmetStation has the answer for both. With dinner packages from five romance menus, patrons may escape busy restaurants or just create a romantic gourmet experience at home.

The four-course dinner menu has been developed with a European flair and features artisan bread, savory soups, entrees with sauces and side vegetable, dessert, and European blend coffee with after-dinner candy. Other romance menus feature Parisian, Tuscan, Cajun, and Fusion cuisine.

“Our goal this Valentine’s Day is to provide a total romance experience,” says Founder & President Donna Lynes-Miller. “All four-course romance menus include a heart-shaped floating candle inscribed with ‘love’, matches, and a Valentine poem including the history of Valentine’s Day.” Lynes-Miller goes on to explain, “The station in GourmetStation alludes to a turn of the century railway station where patrons may take a culinary adventure to romantic destinations like Paris or Tuscany. Our brand is all about imagination and so is Valentine’s Day.” GourmetStation’s three- and four-course dinners are delivered in gift packaging depicting the romantic railway station.

Our gourmet gift certificates make the perfect food gift for a romantic dinner for two.
