Unique Bridal Shower Gifts

blogger

Bridal Showers are pre-wedding parties more common among North Americans. In spite of their rather short history, bridal showers are now common and have become an important part of the marriage ceremony. The occasion allows friends and family one last opportunity to share fun and “spoil” the bride-to-be. The main feature of bridal showers, however, is that they are centered on gifts. Legend has it that the very first bridal shower was organized in order to help a penniless couple that could not afford the dowry.

Gifts, as Socrates once said, are like hooks; meaning that they have the power to create ties of friendship that bind. Therefore, a lot should be taken into consideration when choosing a gift for the bride. Traditionally, it was common for a couple to be given gifts that would start them in married life on a sound footing. Pots and pans, cookbooks and such gifts as emphasized the gender roles in marriage was the norm. Without compromising on tradition, there is still a lot of room for creativity in your selection of gifts bearing in mind the change in circumstances.

The first thing you need to consider when choosing your gifts will be the special or unique needs of the bride. Human beings have varied needs, such as the need to be loved and accepted, or the need to feel beautiful and special. So there is a lot of room for such needs to be addressed by way of unique gifts. How pleasant it would be if you got her something very feminine and personal; something that would make her feel very feminine and at the same time celebrate her womanhood. Depending on her personality, you could gift her some sexy lingerie or some expensive French perfumes and things in that line that modern women care about. You could go a step further and get her something naughty that you know she wouldnt mind. A little book of sex tips for women not elicit the kind of horrors it did in the past.

Away from the bedroom scene, you could give customized gifts, that is, gifts that come in pairs to symbolize her union, or perhaps gifts that have the bride and grooms name engraved to make them more personal.

Another thing to consider before choosing a gift is that it should reflect something of your own personality. You must pay close attention to the kind of message your gift put across. Let your love and care be radiated in your choice of gift such that they will always bring fond and happy memories that can be held on to during the ebbs and flows of life. Once again, personalities differ, but knowing full well the effects of words on people, a kind, appreciative, loving and profound poem that is also relevant may work wonders. We also know how that music, like poetry, is a language of the emotions and a carefully chosen collection of love songs may just do the trick.

In the final analysis, it is important to remember that weddings are occasion of joy and pride and that they are a celebration of love. More important than the giving of gifts, is the spirit with which the gifts are given. Whatever you choose to give should be governed by the spirit of the occasion.

Luxury Corporate Gifts

blogger

If you have ever received a gift from a friend or an acquaintance that came as a surprise, it often sticks in your mind more than the gifts you receive at Christmas and Birthdays and other expected gift occasions. In my experience, as a supplier of luxury corporate gifts, the companies who are prepared to budget for clients and employee gifts tend to have fewer problems than most in maintaining their client and staff base. The reason being is simple, they know how to nurture relationships and reward performance.

For those reading this who are thinking about buying corporate gifts for the first time and are not quite sure what occasions and gifts would be suitable as well as finding out more about the importance of gifts to clients and employees then here is a little starter to help you on your way.

Perhaps the most important reason for companies to give their clients gifts as thanks for their custom is to distinguish themselves from competing firms. With competition between companies fierce in many industries, standing out from the competition is essential for survival as many business will be willing to undercut each other to get that all important first contract.

Also having your logo embroidered or embossed on garments such as wallets, scarves, or gloves is a fantastic branding opportunity for your company and adds a touch of luxury to your corporate gift.

As a rule of thumb, the season for client and employee gifts tends to be Christmas time but there are lots of other opportunities to gift. For example if a member of your staff has just had a period of outstanding sales or performance you may want to reward them immediately as a gesture of you appreciation.

In terms of what to give as corporate gifts, unisex items such as cashmere scarves and gloves are fantastic as they add a little luxury to these fail-safe corporate gift items. Food hampers are always received well, as are sporting event days however the last gift tends to be biased towards men and will cost you a lot more.

So there we have a brief look at the why, when and what of corporate gifts.

Top Tips for Fathers Day Gifts

blogger

Fathers Day is a significant day for both Dads and children alike. Year after year however, it can get a bit tedious to figure out what exactly to do to make this Fathers Day an extra special day.

Here are some top tips to make your Dad’s day an extra memorable and unique day:

1. Do it Homemade

What Dad doesn’t like sweet things? Make him his favourite dessert or snack. If he loves to barbeque, why not buy a blank apron, dig out the fabric paints, and design a bbq apron your Dad will be proud of? Rather than buying a card to go with your present, why not make your own? Make it unique with pop-ups, fancy designs, and maybe even a pocket of vouchers of things you will do for Dad this Fathers Day!

2. Take it out of the Gift Wrapped Box

Who says that gifts for Dad have to be wrapped up neatly in a box with a bow on top? Sometimes the best gifts are those ones that are out of the ordinary. Give an adventure gift, whether it be sky diving, hot air ballooning, whale watching, scuba diving, or mountain hiking. Or go to a winery together or a fancy dinner in the city. Whatever you choose to do, make it something that you would not normally do, whether it be because of time or cost, or simply because it’s just not a part of your regular routine.

3. Make it Interesting!

There’s nothing worse than getting a present that you have absolutely no interest in. To avoid this, make a list of your Dad’s top interests, hobbies, sports, and common conversation topics. Find out what he’s interested in, and tailor your Fathers Day gifts to match those interests. Also consider his occupation my Dad is an engineer, so he loves figuring things out, number puzzles, and anything that requires problem solving. What car does he drive? Does he have a desk job or does he love the outdoors? What does he tend to do in his free time? If he has a Harley motorbike, you don’t have to get him all the expensive gear to go with it (though he’d undoubtedly love it if you did!) – there are plenty of other Harley memorabilia that would feed his passions, such as mugs, keyrings, beer steins with the Harley logo, etc. Don’t break your budget with these Fathers Day gifts, just consider a few of his unique interests and you’ll be able to come up with a perfect idea for him.

4. Give Memories

Make special memories with Dad and the rest of the family. Go for a family game of mini golf, take a trip to the beach, take a picnic to the park, or go for an ice cream or coffee just the two of you. Taking a walk together may be simple, but it shows your Dad that you value time with him and are making it a priority. Take the opportunity to ask your Dad questions about what it was like for him growing up, what major changes he’s seen in his lifetime, and what advice he can give you.

5. Gift Vouchers

Everybody says that vouchers and gift cards are boring and it feels like the giver hasn’t given time or thought into the gift. Change the common perception! Give tickets to his favourite sporting event, but give a small piece of his team’s merchandise with it so he has something to unwrap on the day. Make him go on a treasure hunt for his gift card. Or give him a gift card and say that you want to come with him when he spends it and just hang out with him and have a coffee together when you’re both done.

The top keys to giving great Fathers Day gifts is really in creating something unique and tailored specifically for your Dad’s interests. Think outside the box, and have fun creating memories this Fathers Day!

Give the Gift of a Good Kitchen Knife Set

blogger

A kitchen knife set is a great gift, be it for a wedding, housewarming party, Christmas or a birthday. When it comes time to give gifts, people often overlook this great present, even though it’s a tool that is used almost daily in the kitchen. If you do decide to give this gift to a loved one, make sure you purchase a good set. That way, your gift will be remembered fondly every time they use the cutlery you gave them. If you buy a cheap set that falls apart quickly, it tells the person you bought it for that you really don’t care.

Unless you’re willing to spend between $100 and $200 on a set, it’s probably a good idea to look into other gifts. You can find other gifts like toasters and blenders for well under $100, and you’ll still be able to give a quality gift. There are sets of average knives on the market that cost less than $100, but they are few and far between. It isn’t until you get up over that mark that you start to see the real quality sets.

There are a number of manufacturers that offer high-quality kitchen knife sets for between $100 to $200. JA Henckels, Ginsu and Chicago Cutlery are established companies, and they all have offerings in this price range that would make a great gift. Anolon and Calphalon are relative newcomers, but they also offer good sets that fall into this range. Sets from any of the aforementioned brands will last a long time if cared for properly.

In order to buy the right kitchen cutlery as a gift, you have to know a little bit about the person or people you’re buying it for. If they are only passively interested in cooking, chances are they don’t already have a great set. Next time you’re at their house, take a quick look in the kitchen and glance at the brand of knives they have. If they have a cheaper set like Farberware, one of the mid-range knife sets would be a good upgrade idea for a gift.

If the person you’re considering giving cutlery to as a gift is an active cook, chances are they may already have a good set of knives. If you give them one of the mid-range sets, there’s a good chance you’ll be giving them a gift that they’ll never use or end up re-gifting later on down the road. If you want to give them a kitchen knife set they’ll actually use, you have to get them one nicer than the one they already have. This may mean spending anywhere from $300 to prices in the thousands of dollars for a set.

If you can’t afford thousands of dollars for a set (and who can these days?), you can instead opt for a gift set that contains only a couple of knives. These sets usually come in a nice wooden box and make for a nice looking gift that is functional as well. Shun offers a couple different gift sets that contain a knife or two.

For those of us who aren’t limited by price, there are professional chef-caliber knife sets on the market that anyone would love to have. Global offers a full range of high-end cutlery that looks great and works wonders in the kitchen. Professional chef’s love these knives, so it’s a gift that you can’t go wrong with. Shun knives look nice and are highly sought after, so they would make a great gift as well. Another highly sought after set is the Ginsu Kitana series, which are patterned after samurai swords and are extremely sharp.
