By Jan Carroll

We all know the rush of excitement, the feeling of anticipation, the overwhelming suspense, even the thrill of search of a hidden gift. Then the event happens (Birthday, Christmas, Anniversary, etc.) then the thrill is gone.

So what do you do to keep that excitement. A life experience!

Yes, a life experience will not only give them the joy of the gift but also the joy of the experience. Whether it is a getaway, an adventure, etc., they are all true once in a lifetime life experience. These gifts are what memories are made of and that last a lifetime in their mind and in their heart..

Who says it better, or shows the joy, but Bob Marley – Jamming (If you wish to watch the video click here.)

Give your special ‘someone who has everything’ a “jamming” gift that they will always remember. This sounds like so much fun!

What To Give Someone You Love On Heart Day

By Jan Carroll

Make Valentine’s Day the best it has ever been for your love!

Expressing your love to your girl friend, wife, boy friend, husband, partner, or a family is important on ‘love day’. It’s important to show everyone we love that we love them, on this day, and every day

We sure know that is true.

So what do you give them? A phone call, a visit, or a gift?

How about all of them.

Valentine’s Day is only one day a year, and it is to show your love, but it doesn’t have to be just one day.

But one day can mean a lot to your loved one!

If you take the time to send your loved on a gift, give them a call, or even visit can change the relationship in so many ways. It shows them, and tells them, you care, and that gesture can last a lifetime.

I have created a great Valentine’s Day gift page you will love.

Expect the unexpected on this page here.

p.s. Do take the time to remember those who are alone, whether through divorce, or widowed. Reach out to them and give them a smile, or more, that they will always remember. Make this day special for them. They will appreciate it and you will have made their day better.

She Loves Shoes But I Am Lost

By Jan Carroll

I hear it all the time that men want to buy shoes as a present for the woman they love but have not idea what type of shoe to buy.

Well that is where I come in.

But before it get into that let me tell you a shoe, well actually a boot story.

I had my big toe broken and had to walk around in sandals for months. Luckily it was during the late summer but as fall arrived I had to put heavy socks on with the sandals.

Now, at this time I was working in the fashion industry so this was not the best look!

In the late fall I went out and found leather boots I loved. I couldn’t wear them but I was so thrilled to buy them knowing that soon I would be able to wear them.

And wear them I did, for years.

These boots went through many snow falls, rains storms, resouls (so many times I cannot remember) and I stilled loved them.

I finally had to give them up. When I did I found so many more that were so right and beyond.

So for you looking to find footwear gifts for her I have gone out and found shoes that I am sure she will love. I have them listed in two places.

1. Personally picked shoe gifts here

2. Fabulous Fashion shoes gifts here

Different pages, different styles, when I see shoes or boots I love I am sure she will love them too.

As I have mentioned before, if you are not sure whether to buy here high heels, flats, runners, etc., have a look in her closet and see what shoes she wears most or what type are in her closet. As far as size, take a look inside the shoes that she has and that will tell you.

This Dress Is Hot

By Jan Carroll

Some women wear dresses for work. Usually the type of dress for work is nice, but probably not stunning.

When it comes to going out on a date, going to an event or attending a wedding the dress women wear is more daring than what they would wear at work.

Have you ever gone out shopping for a dress for a special event and spent hours looking for just the right one? Me too. Well look what I found.

I love this dress.

It is my opinion that this dress is this season’s must-have dress!

A Gift That Will Bring Out The Playful Kid In Him

By Jan Carroll

I’ve been very busy searching for the best gifts to put up on our site. Billy offered to take a little time off his projects to give me a hand. Well he tries to help but mostly he gets lost looking at cool stuff he wants. Which is okay because he sends me ideas for men’s pages.

Sphero 2.0

He was looking through our site to check out gifts I’ve put up recently. I noticed him looking at the ‘Sphero 2.0’ on our ‘Electronic Gifts’ page with a slightly puzzled frowny face. “What is this thing for?” I suggested he go ahead, click on the link and watch the video… A few moments later I looked over at him again and his eyes were wide and lit up like a little kid in a toy store. “This is too cool!” he exclaimed. “I want one… No I want one for me and buddies too! We could take them out for walks together or runs! We could organize soccer type games pushing a smaller ball around with the big ball!! The possibilities are endless!!”

You really must view the video to get the potential because it doesn’t look like much… well it looks like a ball! Which it is but so much more with a remote control and 25 built in apps. You can play alone or with a group of friends. Even with your pet. It glows in the dark and goes in water. As Billy says the possibilities are endless. Guys can use them at the beach to send corny pick up lines to girls (or visa versa 😉 I will spare you some of the other, shall we say, ‘overly creative’ ideas Billy offered. Yes, let you imagination run wild.

I don’t often see this side of him. He has a good sense of humor, but to see this great big mature guy bubbling over with almost a childlike sense of fun and enthusiasm was really a bit of something wonderful. I think that’s what we all hope to achieve when we are finding gifts.

The ‘Sphero 2.0’ comes with an enthusiastic 2 thumbs up from Billy, and I bet your kids, big and little will love it too!

Check out the Sphero 2.0

Give a cool electronic gift like this for the man in your life who has everything.

You will find paints and pencils, stained glass kits, jewelry making goodies, needle craft, DYI goodies, digital art and more.

What’s Old Is New In Fashion

By Jan Carroll

For those of you who follow my blog you know I started working in the fashion industry, part-time, when I was still in high school. I have always loved fashion and actually designed clothing, though I only showed my Mum 🙂 I then went on and spent many years as the manager of a fashion boutique for a upscale and popular national chain.

I have been noticing lately how much the new fashion styles are so 70’s. So I went into the back of my closet and found many pieces of clothing that are again “IN”.

It’s interesting how fashion comes back around.

Have you noticed a lot of fringe lately? I sure have.

Check out a great fringe vest

Western topper vest is soft faux suede with a pretty cutout design and long, swingy fringe.

‘Gift Guide’ For Someone Who Has Everything – Anniversary Gifts

By Jan Carroll

Here is my ‘Gift Guide’ for an Anniversary present for someone who has everything.

Most of us start thinking about an anniversary gift about a month before our wedding anniversary actually arrives. Yes I can hear chuckles from some guys out there – you know who you are – the ones who has a calendar pop-up the day before to remind you, or the secretary that you tell to run out and buy it that day.

* Schedule a reminder on your calendar, or give your secretary a reminder, that tells you at least one month prior to your anniversary that what date it is due.

* Start the anniversary search process at least four weeks before the actual date. This means, think back to how you felt, how excited you were a month before the wedding. Remember all the preparations? Well time to do this again.

So, here is a rough schedule to follow 4 weeks before the anniversary date. Bear with me men, this next section will be hard for you.

In a perfect world…

Week 4 – Put a love note with her/his coffee in the morning, or with her/his drink at night.

Week 3 – Offer to do a chore your partner is not fond of doing. If she hates laundry then offer to do it for her and put a note on the top the clean clothes with a heart or a kiss. If he hates mowing the lawn then offer to do that and put note with a heart or a kiss on the lawnmower when you are finished.

Week 2 – Make dinner or order dinner in. Whoever cooks just say “not tonight, it is taken care of”. If you normally order in then actually cook a dinner (or bring home one that you just need to heat). Again a ‘love’ note.

Week 1 – Now this is a bit tricky. You want to do something special on a day other than your anniversary day as well. So if you anniversary falls on a Friday then on Monday or Tuesday, after dinner, but some nice music on and ask him/her to dance. Ok, so you have kids and that won’t work. Wait until they are in bed. The music can be soft. It doesn’t have to be a dance. It could be just a cuddle listening to your favorite song.

Anniversary Day

Now is the time to think back to when you were married. Remember the excitement, the thrill, the overwhelming joy. It’s time to share that with your partner. Start the day off with a card, Leave it by the coffer maker, on her/his pillow, in her/his car, etc. If you can, do take the time to have quiet time – maybe a dinner away. If you don’t have time do try and at least have a drink together after the work/kids are all set.

At the last moment of the day, when you both feel the warmth and joy of all that has lead up to this great anniversary then give your partner their gift.

Back to reality…

That’s likely more than most couples can take on, so if you feel you can’t here’s a plan that is easier to fulfill.

Week 4 – Start thinking about what you would like to do for your anniversary and looking at gift ideas.

Week 3 – Same as week 4, come on let’s get this together! And make sure you are clearing your schedule so work or other potential calendar conflicts don’t arise.

Week 2 – For heaven’s sake if you don’t have the present yet, get a move on, your running out of time! If you are dining out and need to make arrangements for a baby sitter, a reservations for an exclusive restaurant, or event. And clue in everyone who needs to know and let them know their role, such as making themselves scarce, for example, if they are rambunctious teens.

Week 1 – If you haven’t gotten a gift by now, your options are less and you are close to blowing it… So get something quick… Let your partner know early in the week you are looking forward to your upcoming anniversary. The build up ahead will make everything more special.

Anniversary Day

Now you may be asking “why do I have to go through all of this, we are already married?” That’s a legit question. But let me ask you one, do you want to stay married? No, an anniversary present will not make or break a marriage, but romance, or the lack there of can.

You can ignore my 4 week ahead advice and just buy an anniversary gift for the day and just hand it to your partner with a “happy anniversary”. I’m sure it will still be fine. But – BUT – if you want to keep excitement in your marriage, if you want to keep romance in your marriage, if you want to be happy, just take a bit of time to do something extra… every single year, even every single day!

Be sure to start looking before your anniversary month starts. You don’t have to buy it at that time, but it will give you lots of leeway to find the perfect present.

Taking the time to make your anniversary day special, as well as giving an anniversary gift, will be an incredibly memorable day!
