Caution, Fun Ahead

By Jan Carroll

Finding A Gift Can Be Fun When You Are At The Right Place

Finding a gift can be fun

When I was manager of a Fairweather store it was very important to me to make sure the staff, and visitors, had fun.

I loved to hold special events for celebrations, like Valentine’s Day.

On Valentine’s Day I would go in early and put heart stickers in various places that had a gift attached to each one.  When the staff came in, before opening, they could try and find the stickers.  When I opened the doors the visitors were told of the stickers and they could look too until all were found.

I would then put the music on, to give everyone more energy.

So here are the staff looking for stickers, at the same time as helping the customers who are trying stuff on and trying to find the stickers too. Got a little crazy!

The gifts weren’t big.  Chocolates, flowers, etc., but everyone had so much fun.

Except the store next door.  Birks was, and still is, a high end jewelry store and they were very low key.

They didn’t like the music.  

But we worked together and it all worked out in the end, well after talks with the mall Manager to turn the music down 🙂

That’s what our site is all about.  Having fun while you find your gift.  No loud music here (slows down the site too much!), but still the same spirit of fun!

Come visit our site.

Can You Easily Find A Unique Artisan Gift Now?

By Jan Carroll

Our site is what I like to call an internet gift mall – a place where I have pulled together great sites, from around the world, into one convenient location. The theory of doing this was to make it easier, and quicker, for you to find a unique present.

unique-artisan-gifts

Why am I telling you this? Well it seems that you can’t find us as easily as you use to. So I have taken a long look at the site and decided to try some changes in hopes that you might find us easier. Mind you, we’re always working on the site to make it better and easier for visitors to find what you are looking for.

Yesterday, I reworked our Unique Artisan Gifts page so that is more compact with less scrolling and fewer banners. I’ve broken the page into sections for each gift category such as:

* Artisan Jewelry Gifts
* Artisan Clothing Gifts
* Artisan Furniture & Home Decor Gifts
* Artisan Sculptures, Tapestries, Paintings & More!

Under these categories are our recommended shops, a brief description and links to these shops. My personally picked gifts is still there!

We’d love it if you to have a look and give us some feedback by commenting here, email us or you can like this page.

By Jan Carroll

Give the gift of a wonderful experoemce

Oh, that’s in my dreams 🙂

Life experience gifts are wonderful to give someone who has everything. or someone who is hard to buy for.  Whether it’s a ticket to the best concert, or greatest sports event, a trip to an exotic location, cycle through a beautiful countryside, tour Paris, drive exotic cars,  and so much more that your someone who is hard to buy for will always remember. Some of these are once in a lifetime life experience, and some are luxurious pampering gifts  few of us get to experience, but all are truly what memories are made of and will last a lifetime, and they will love you for giving them this.

So let’s look at just a few wonderful adventure and life experience gifts you can give:

* For Him, how about a ticket to a football game, basketball game, NHL hockey golf, or motor sports.

Check it out here.

*  For Her, how about Spa treatments and packages, a couples package for your romantic getaway or salon spas, holistic spas and more.

Check it out here.

* An Adventure Gift for someone who has everything and doesn’t need anything – we have that too.  Travel, events, and so much more.

Do You Feel You Need A Crystal Ball To Help You Find A Unique Gift

By Jan Carroll

Many of the folks that mes­sage me tell me that they are at a loss when it comes to find­ing a unique gift for their spe­cial some­one because when they ask them what they want for a gift they say things like this:

– Guys will shrug and say ‘I dunno’

– Moms who are famous for ‘don’t worry about get­ting me any­thing sweetie, I’ve got every­thing I need’.

It’s almost like you need a psy­chic, or a crys­tal ball, to get into their head. With­out one, as much as you look, you just can’t find, or decide, on a gift that they will like.

Well it just so hap­pens I have a crys­tal ball (so to speak :-) , so I decided to dust it off and give you a ‘read­ing’ to help you find that per­fect gift.

1. First think what about what the per­son you are buy­ing for likes. Yes I know that is prob­a­bly always your start­ing point, but stay with me on this.

Exam­ple:

He likes — sports, elec­tron­ics, beer, boots, gourmet food

She likes — jew­elry, cloth­ing, shoes, wine, chocolate

2. Once you have a list of what the per­son would like as a gift then nar­row it down to the top one or two gifts.

Exam­ple:

He likes — golf, elec­tronic games

She likes — gold jewelry, shoes

3. Now that you have the top two list you have to think a bit out­side of the box. I do this when I am pick­ing out per­son­ally picked gifts on our site.

So for him, with golf and elec­tronic games in mind you could pick out this (for example)

So for her, with gold and shoes in mind you could pick out this (for example)

Get the idea? It’s just a mat­ter of tak­ing one or two of her/his top likes and find­ing it as a gift. When you do that it makes it a bit more unique.

In my last post I began a countdown to Christmas by featuring my adventures.

Hammacher Schlemmer offers a variety of electronic gifts, sports gifts, home gifts, travel gifts, toy & game gifts – oh so many more. But don’t let their typical menu categories fool you, there is nothing typical about their offerings. Everything at their site has some unique aspect to it.

When I visit, I never fail to find a fun gift for her, a unique pet gift, a baby boomer gift, electronics he would love, sports gifts for all the family, music gifts (to teach or enjoy), all sorts of incredible home gifts, unique apparel gifts, and definitely that extraordinary gift that wows me. Of course I post right away so you can be Wowed too!

Here is a montage illustrating just a small sampling of the gifts they offer. Ones I know anyone on your Christmas list will love – so many I just couldn’t fit in with such a small space.

They ship all over the world.

My second countdown to Christmas offering is…(drum roll) Hammacher Schlemmer . Go there right now. You will be blown away by the awesomeness of their stuff! (Okay…Okay…Now I’m getting carried away…Back slowly away from the keyboard Gift Guide Girl…)

You will find gifts such as a large selection of electronics (including gadgets, cameras and more), apparel (from hats to shoes and everything in-between), home (decorative, practical and safety) sports & leisure (indoor, outdoor and memorabilia), toys for young and old, personal care (from exercise to soul soothing gifts), outdoor gifts from furniture to outdoor games, and so much more.

Searching For A Unique Gift – Baubles & Bling

I must admit that this is one of my favorite pages. I love jewelry. If I could I would wear more jewelry than Johnny Depp (and I bet he would love the great personally picked selection we offer!)

Here you can find jewelry pieces for both woman and men. The jewelry I have selected range from traditional to ‘way out there’. A great selection that to fit all tastes and all budgets.

Here is a montage illustrating just a small sampling of the jewelry we offer. Ones I know anyone on your Christmas list will love.

Some say that Diamonds are a girl’s best friend but I say bling on the bling baby. Any bling is good bling and throw in a few baubles too.

Happy Shopping!

The Joy Of Spontaneous Gift Giving

By Jan Carroll

There are times in everyone’s life when things don’t go as we hoped, didn’t work out as we planned, and just plain suck. For those of us who know someone in that situation one thing we can do it tell them that we are thinking of them, that we care.

The Joy Of Spontaneous Gift Giving

One way is spontaneous gift giving.

This can, and does, make a huge difference in someone’s life. It is something that we can do to brighten someone’s life, make it a bit better, not because we have to, but because we want to.

But is has to be given for the right reason.

In so many ways the whole ‘gift giving’ process has become almost a ‘I give you this so you give me that’ scenario. Okay, maybe that sounds a bit strong but think about it. For example, Christmas is a very happy gift giving time but we do it more because we have to.

Let me explain…

I remember when I was a kid that whenever I saw my Dad walking up to the house with flowers it meant he and my Mum had an argument. That is not spontaneous giving. It wasn’t really even a gift at all. It was an attempted peace offering. What that is a gift offering in hopes to be forgiven for something you did wrong.

Give from the heart, not expecting payback. Give just because, not because you have to.

Spontaneous gift giving is about making it better when:

* They had a flat tire on the freeway and you send them flowers

* They fell off their bike and you send them a new helmet

* They lost their job and you send them a monthly gourmet meal gift

* Walking by a shop you see something in the window they told you they loved and you pick it up for them

* You buy something silly just for the sheer joy of seeing them laugh

Bring joy into someone’s life, especially when they really need a boost.

What it all comes down to is letting the special person in your life know that you care about them and sending them a gift to let them know you do. A gift that they don’t expect. Not because it is an birthday, anniversary, Christmas, just something that says you care.

Check out unique gifts here.

We can measure the quality of our own lives, not by how much we have, but by how much we give to others.

A Gift That Will Thrill Pool Players

By Jan Carroll

I love pool. It started when I was about 15. A friend of mine took me to his parent’s house and there was a poolroom. I had never played. We spent many hours playing, though I must say, at least for me, it was playing badly.

When you don't have the room a fold away pool table is perfect

It was there I started my long passion for pool.

In my late 20’s a lawyer friend and I were talking and we discovered we both loved pool. She took me to a few of her favorite places and showed me how to do some really cool shots. She was a shark. I learned a lot from her.

Through the years I have spent countless hours playing pool. Along the way I got pretty good so I spent less time watching and more time playing 🙂

But life situations change and hanging out at pubs so I could play pool became less as other things became more important.

But I missed playing pool.

I always wanted a pool table, but I haven’t lived in a home that would allow the space needed for a table. Well I suppose I could empty the bedroom and put a pool table in there, but I don’t think Billy and I could fit on the living room couch to sleep.

Check out pool tables Here!
