Fashion Jewelry For Christmas Gift Giving

You really have to check this site for fashion jewelry, for the up and coming gift giving requirements, that are looming right ahead of us, The Jewler’s Wife! I remember ordering several pieces from them last year right about this time and was happy with the whole process and the products that I received as well.

I really hate waiting for the last minute to get all of the gifts purchased, in my spare room, wrapped and ready to go for all the people that I end up buying gifts for each year. Online shopping is the way to go these days. You won’t catch me in any old brick and mortar stores during the long and tedious holiday shopping frenzy!

Roland Micro Cube Combo Amp Black

You just gotta love how easy it is to find things on the Internet, just a few key strokes into the Google search engine, such as “Roland Micro Cube Combo Amp Black” and badda boom, badda bing, insto presto it came up with the perfect  amp that I am looking into purchasing my my nephew for birthday party next month.

Sure beats the heck out of running from store to store, or worse yet using the old paper version of the Yellow Pages. I haven’t used the Yellow Pages in years, as soon as I was finds it’s way to my house it goes straight into the Recycling bin that the city provides us all with.

Popular Birthday Months

With some of the tax money that I have finally gotten back from the IRS I will be able to purchase a few birthday gifts that are needed for the busy birthday month of May. May and September are popular months for so many of my friends and family for some reason. With the month of March coming in third place. I didn’t have much cash (and I’m not using my credit cards for presents) in March, so it will feel good to be able to have a few bucks to make sure that the folks that celebrate their birthday in May will be happy with me this year.

My brother has been talking about position indicators, so I thought I would look around online and see what is out there. My mother is hinting at needing new drinking glasses. I have all ready found the perfect ones that I am going to order this weekend. My niece is a whole different issue. I still can’t figure out the perfect gift for her. Tweens are so difficult to buy for. Besides she is spoiled rotten and is given any and every thing that she needs and wants. One of lives many challenges when it comes to buying appropriate gifts that will be appreciated.

Today’s Gift Baskets, A Great Gift Idea!

I’ve come up with a perfect gift giving idea to present my manager with at work on Friday. She is turning fifty and we have been planning a surprise party for her for the past several weeks, it should be a blast. Surprise parties are the best, especially when they really turn out to be a real surprise, which I think we have been able to pull off so far.

My manager and her husband are the proud parents of a new baby girl, so they don’t get to go out as often as they are used to being able to do, so I found a great selection of movie gift baskets on the Internet that I think will really float her boat and that they will both enjoy together.

She had the baby shortly before Mother’s Day, so we all started looking online at some nice Mothers day gift baskets to take over to her (being the new mom and all) and her new family, which was a big hit and earned us all brownie points, it was a success and  worked out real well. She is a great lady and we want to keep her happy, which will keep us all happy in the long run.

Pandora Charms Were A Total Hit On Christmas

My sister’s face was priceless when she opened up my gift of several pandora charms on Christmas day. I wish that I had been video taping that day or at least snapped a picture right at that moment, but in all the madness it just didn’t happen. It is always such a crazy day when we get over to my parents house for Christmas (or for any holiday for that matter) coming from a large family that keeps getting bigger and bigger each year, that it is just total chaos and extremely loud! I always get a head ache and end up having to take someone to keep me from turning into a total witch in front of everyone.

Anyway, I knew that she really wanted some more charms for her charm bracelet but I wasn’t sure if she would like the ones that I picked out for her. So I’m really tickled that she fell in love with the ones that I finally decided on, bought, wrapped up and gave to her that day. Each time I have seen her since that day she has been wearing her charm bracelet and she has mentioned a few times how much she loves them. She isn’t the easiest person to please, never has been and most likely never will, so with that said I really don’t want to break my arm patting myself on the back for a job well done, but I am really very happy with the way it all turned out.

Cigar Samplers

My mother just now posted the Christmas day pictures that were taken on her camera on Facebook to share with everyone. Bless her heart she tries so very hard to master all of today’s latest technologies. I know that a lot of our senior citizens are so intimidated by all of that tekki stuff that they really miss out on all that there is out. It took my parents, especially my mother, a good long while before they would even consider to just sit down in front of a computer and allow me to show them so that they could see what it was all about. Dad finally caught on pretty well, but mom basically settled for learning how to use their email and it wasn’t until last September that I got them both to give Facebook a try!

So I was really tickled that she got the pictures posted today. My favorite picture of all is when my Dad was opening the present that I gave him which was The Ultimate Plasencia Sampler that I posted a picture of below. He was grinning ear to ear. I know he really wanted to light one up right then and there, but mom would have kicked his butt for smoking in the house. I found some great cigar deals online, but even at discount prices cigars aren’t cheap.

Love Me Some Kitchenaid

Not very often do I get what I call “good mail” since the majority of mail that finds its way into my mailbox is a bill or advertisement, neither of which do I enjoy receiving and dealing with. It used to be that once in a while a card or a letter could be found waiting for me to open, those days are long gone compliments of the Internet. LOL! The days are pretty much gone that I would get dozens of Christmas cards in the mail. I think last year I received a total of 3, with the majority of my Season’s Greetings being said and done online.

But today I got a piece of “good mail” not only was it a Christmas card but it had a healthy VISA gift card included in it that just about floored me when I opened the card and saw the amount clearly written on it. My Great Aunt Pearl, bless her heart, was feeling very generous this year and it didn’t take me long to figure out what I want to do with this particular blessing. Check out this sweet looking kitchenaid artisan mixer – candy apple 90th anniversary edition with free glass bowl that I think I will order when the weekend rolls around again.

I plan on spending a good part of this up and coming weekend online. While I’m at it I think I’ll be keeping my eyes open for the parts for the saucepan racks that I need to get that all installed and out of the way as well as trying to find a great deal on some lion sabatier stainless steel knives to complete the set that I’ve been working on for several years now. My kitchen is always a work in progress and I’m always wanting/needing something or another, but I do spend a good amount of time in there so my kitchen is important to me.

Thanks Aunt Pearl, you’re a doll!

Boot Style Slippers

I have never asked for slippers as a Christmas gift in my whole life, but this year they are on the top of my wish list. Since removing the wall-to-wall carpet from the entire main level of my home, I have noticed that the bare wood is extremely cold and I’m tired of wearing just my socks, as they tend to get dirty quickly and that is just gross and wrong.  I have a pair of slippers but they are so old that a nice new warm pair of the boot style slippers would make me a very happy camper this year. I wonder if they slippers with little heaters on them, that would be awesome. I’ve seen them with flash lights on them before, pretty crazy if you ask me. But what ever works for you!

If I don’t get a pair on Christmas morning I’m sure I’ll be receiving a few gift cards here and there that I will be able to use to buy some. The after Christmas sales are a great time to get things at great discount prices. It’s my favorite time of the year to shop. Too bad I’m usually way too broke, but those wonderful gift cards do come in handy after Christmas.

Edwin Jagger, Just The Right Mixture

Finding the right kind of gifts for guys has always been a challenge for me throughout the years. So I was really tickled to find at smallflower.com some really unique products by edwin jagger that he has manufactured with a mixture of traditional English quality and style as well as adding to some pretty cool state of the art designs. It will be good to be able to give some gifts to the guys in my life that they just might actually like, enjoy, appreciate and use, instead of just some crap that was bought in haste without much thought or caring put into the whole process.

My Brother the “Golden Child”

My oldest brother has to be the hardest person to buy gifts for on the entire planet. I always have a hard time finding gifts for the male species, but my brother is just the worst. He has been the “golden child” as far back as I can remember, he could do no wrong at home or school and now is happily married with children, has a good job and lives on a working farm that takes up most of his time. He has basically every thing that he ever wanted and needs in life, sigh……

He will be celebrating his 35th birthday come this February, a huge party is in the planning, but I still have to find and buy him a gift for the occasion. I have a few months but am getting anxious about the whole ordeal. The only thing that I can think of that I know he would appreciate is something to do with his John Deere tractor that he spends so much time on in the evenings and weekends.

I believe that his would appreciate some new HID equipment lights for his beloved tractor. By the time he gets home, eats dinner, and then spends some time with kids it can be pretty late by the time he gets to his tractor so it would make sense to have a good quality lighting system in place to help him see where he is going and all. So I’ve spent a little bit of time on the Internet checking out the various HID products, so far MagnaLight has the best, I’ll have to ask my Dad for a second opinion, so I’ll make sure to send him the links for his guidance and approval.
