TableTopics Announces Two New Ways to Spark More Meaningful Conversations:
Table Topics Couples and TableTopics Girls Night Out - Pillow Talk and Girl Talk Just Got More Fun, Entertaining and Thought-Provoking

Orinda, CA - May 9, 2006 TableTopics (www.tabletopics.com) - a collection of conversation starters published by RUBY MiNE with editions for adults, families, and teens - today announced two new editions: Couples and Girls Night Out. Created for anyone who wants to spark more fun, interesting, and meaningful discussions, TableTopics Couples and TableTopics Girls Night Out editions are guaranteed to lead to better pillow talk and girl talk.

"Gabbing with my girlfriends and talking with my husband are two of my favorite things to do, so it was so much fun to create - and use - these new TableTopics editions," said Cristy Clarke, TableTopics founder. "Girls Night Out is perfect for sitting around the hot tub with my oldest girlfriends sipping wine. And the amazing thing about the Couples edition is that I'm actually learning things about my husband of 15 years that I never knew before!"

Learn Something New About Your Partner

TableTopics Couples edition was created by TableTopics founder Cristy Clarke, who has been happily married for 15 years. "Couples that have been together a long time have a tendency to think they know everything there is to know about their significant other," explained Cristy. "I tried to come up with questions that reveal aspects of your spouse you may not have time to explore amidst the daily grind of work and kids."

Whether just dating, engaged, newly married, or celebrating your 50th wedding anniversary, TableTopics Couples is an exciting way to connect and re-connect with your partner.

Sample questions include:

• What did you initially find most attractive about your partner?
• Would you like to renegotiate your spoken and unspoken agreements?
• Which is more important to your relationship - loyalty, passion, humor or kindness?
• What's something out of character that you'd love to see your partner do?

Girl Talk Just Got Better

Having fun with the girls on a night out (or in) will be more than memorable using these conversation starters designed especially for the way women talk with each other. Questions range from hilarious to thought-provoking, guaranteeing an entertaining (and sometimes surprising!) evening of girl talk.

Sample questions include:

• In what ways are you like your mother?
• What's your favorite chick flick?
• If you had to gain 10 pounds, what would you eat to gain the weight?
• What remains undone that you have to get done for years?

Table Topics retails for $25.00, and is available online at www.tabletopics.com and at gift stores nationwide. For more information, downloadable images, and to find a TableTopics retailer near you, please visit www.tabletopics.com.
