I Heart Guts Valentines

Godmommy's iPhone

Last weekend I was hanging out with Aunt Berne and she let me kidnap her sister's old iPhone. Most of the info had been wiped, texts deleted, and accounts were logged off, but there were still a few gems that I found while snooping around it. 

- Photo taken 8 Nov 2019 of the I Heart Guts uterus goodies I bought her when she was diagnosed with uterine cancer.

- One of her few playlists, Good Time:

- Mum and her baby sister, Gina.

- And the best? A snapshot my cousin took in Ocean City, Maryland on December 7th, 2019. She is so happy and free and I can hear her laughing when I see this photo. It's shocking to think that 38 days later she would be gone.

Poo Time

If When I get around to fixing up/painting my bathroom I am SO getting this framed to hang on the wall. I Heart Guts has the raddest stuff.

Kidney Cutie

The kidney slippies I sent Maureen from I Heart Guts were a big hit! I love their shop and recommend it to everyone that tells me about a loved ones upcoming surgery or illness. It's the best way to make a crappy situation bring on a smile.

I Heart Guts

I had stumbled across this shop about eight or nine years ago and immediately loved it. I have turned to I Heart Guts for unique gifts for my ill loved ones and each time the recipient reacted with shock and laughter. Here are the Guts and Glands that I've purchased over the years.

Obviously, my first purchase was a packet of stickers for me!

My cousin had to have her thyroid and parathyroid glands removed, and these pins left her perplexed and then very touched.

 

One of my favourite people had to have their testicle removed and this cute-as-can-be look-a-like gland became a new edition to his stuffed pals.

When Olivia's heart was getting weaker and weaker, I mailed her this one and told her in a note, "Since your heart sucks, here's one that's super fit and cute as hell, so hug it tight and repeat the words: My heart is healthy, my heart is strong, my heart is awesome!"

And for the best dentist in the universe and my all-time favourite hygienist, I had to get them each their own bad ass lapel pin!

A friend who underwent a mastectomy just had to have this adorable mammary gland pin!

Sadly, a close family friend is having her bladder removed (fuck you, cancer, i hope you vanish without a trace from this earth real soon because we are all SO over you) and so last week I went right to I Heart Guts and ordered her a way cuter version than the bladder she currently has - hope it brings a smile to her sweet face and maybe makes all this hellish crap a little easier to handle.

I Heart Teeth

I Heart Guts now has teeth! I really wanna get this lapel pin for my dentist because he is the best there is - seriously, he is fabulous. And I go see him next month...
