Diet 4 Success

I am the administrative assistant for one of those big muckety-muck, high faluting executives in a big company. Now don’t get me wrong, I love my job and I even like my boss (most days). But some of the things I have to do seem, well, like something my boss should do himself. Anyway, the other day my boss comes to me and tells me that he wants me to get a nice executive gift for a client he’s trying to impress. That’s fine but I had to practically interrogate my boss to get him to give me enough about the client that I felt like I could pick out something this client would like.

Fortunately for me, this client loves golf, in fact he is something of a fanatic about the sport. So a well thought out golf gift that he can display in his office, should be just the ticket. I’m thinking of either a display case for golf balls he collects when he plays courses around the world or a fine golf print. In any case, I’m off to The Golf Collection where I’ve shopped before and I know I can find something just right at a price that my boss won’t object to. Mission accomplished! Now I only wonder what my boss will ask me to do tomorrow.

If you are barreling towards your wedding day, it may be time to pick out what you are going to give the groomsmen for a gift. Most guys go with an engravable item because it’s more personal. Sometimes the wedding date is added as a second line after the groomsman name.

Perhaps the most popular groomsmen gifts are beer mugs or pilsner glasses. Most every guy can use a good sports mug whether they drink beer or not. There are tons of styles to choose from – I’ve even found beer mugs with pewter emblems for groomsmen, best man and ushers.

For those on a limited budget, you will want to keep what you spend as low as possible. You may even think that you can not afford a great personalized gift but you would be wrong. At Eye Candy Gift I found a huge display of beer mugs and pilsner glasses. All could be engraved for free and they even had a cheap engraved beer mug (yes etched glass) for under $15 each. When you add to that the discount you get with their ‘buy one get one 25% off’ sale, it’s a tremendous value – check it out today.

These elegant gold butterfly earrings are exquisite! When you have a wife who generally goes for diamond butterfly earrings, you breathe a sigh of relief when she can pick out a pair in 14K gold! But forget the sterling silver butterfly earrings; it just won’t happen. That’s OK; I love my wife and don’t mind finding things she adores, no matter how pricey. After 35 years, we still love each other. Read more…

I’m always looking for fun and different items for my home and especially my kitchen. I love shopping for new gadgets that can help my cooking tasks easier or decorative items that jazz up the room. One of my favorite recent finds was a beautiful handmade batik fabric bread basket. This great-looking basket isn’t just decorative, but it’s useful too. I bought a couple of them so I can it when I’m serving breads and rolls with dinner and use the other basket for the napkins and condiments too. Read more…

I’m not the best planner in the world, in fact I might be one of the worst and for me to get a birthday, anniversary or sometimes even a Christmas present delivered on time is considered by my friends and family to be something of a miracle.

I was browsing around the internet the other day and came upon a really delightful dolphin charmby the magic zoo. I can’t quite put my finger on what about it is so appealing to me- but it almost seems like the little fellow is smiling! This is especially surprising because it is not one of those overly cute pieces of jewelry. You know the ones I mean- almost cartoonish. No, this one is realistic in a way, but really adorable at the same time. You just have to see it for yourself! Read more…

Under sink water filters are water filtration systems that fit underneath a sink. These filtration systems remove potentially harmful heavy metals from your water, such as lead or mercury. They also remove any bacteria from your water, which is great if you use well water. Additionally, they often have activated charcoal that greatly reduces any unpleasant taste or odor that can be common with municipal water. But best of all, these filters are much more convenient than any of the alternatives. Read more…
