Found this website--thought you girls might want to check it out...it even has a section for "a bun in the oven" and pets--though it can get pricey!

<i>"With your snack, you might need to take your pills. Chronic Couture has a wide array of Classic Pillboxes, in retro, vintage looks and in three sizes ($18-$22). Again, taking pills may be a dreary part of life for us, but taking out something fun and pretty somehow makes it seem a little bit better. It makes the pills a little easier to swallow- so to speak.
For those who need to use syringes, there is an extravagant luxury item- a Prefilled Syringe Carry Case, which is covered in Swarovski crystals and sells for $85. There are three styles, and they look like very decorative pens. I love the blurb on this item- "If you have to self inject meds- you might as well look like a rock star." Amen I say to that.
Another decorative feature for a very mundane task is a Sharps Container Cover, which cost $22. These cover the holder for your insulin needles and instead of having to look at an ugly container in your bathroom, you can jazz up your container and leave it out and available for use.
I also love the Glucose Monitor Pocket Case. These adorable 5" by 5" cases hold your monitor, while keeping you very chic and fashionable. There are two styles- jeans with red gingham and zebra with pink, both at an affordable $14.99. If you have to carry a glucose monitor, these handy pocket cases are adorable and make the chore of monitoring your sugar a little less "painful."
This whole website is all about fun. It's mission is to make those of us with a chronic illness, feel sexy and chic, but there is something for everyone else on your gift list. They offer lots of other cool things like; stationary, martini glasses, party cups, napkins and lots more..." </i>Review by Christine Miserandino, © 2007 butyoudontlooksick.com
Here is a beautiful poem from that site:
<i><b>Being Normal
What would you give to be normal, she asked
Looking me straight in the eye
I paused a moment in order to give
A completely honest reply
What would I give to be normal
The question, itself, wasn't new
Quick to mind came all the things
I could now no longer do
The list was long, and the list was sad
Of that I was painfully sure
I could sit a while, with my "losses list"
And continually add to it more
I returned my thoughts to the question
What did it really mean
And decided the answer was simpler
Than at first, to me, it seemed
I faced my well intended friend
My response, I knew, was true
In every way that matters the most
I'm just as normal as you
My world is restricted and narrow
Compared to where you reside
But it doesn't mean my spirit or soul
Need lessen in worth or size
No matter how weakened my body
I'll persist at any length
Not to allow my frailties
To negate my inner strengths
I wish, I hope, I dream, I pray
Quite often, I sit and cry
As long as there's laughter and love in my life
I'll know I'll continue to try
As children of our creator
We're equally valued the same
We're not defined by health or wealth
Position, power, or fame
I may never be fully, physically well
While here upon our earth
But normal or not, I'll do my best
Not to let it determine my worth
