Last minute Father's Day gift ideas

June 14th 2008 05:27
I realize it's almost too late, but there are some really awesome Father's Day gift ideas at gifts.com.

One I absolutely love, but won't work for my honey (or my dad either) is a set of t-shirts for a dad and son. The dad shirt says "Big Guy" and the son shirt says "Little Guy" - they are so cute. Our "little" guys are bigger than their dad now, so that won't work for us.

I'm back to find the perfect gift. If you're still looking, try gifts.com.

New Bride's Cooking WebSite Launches (LINK)

February 8th 2008 05:57
(OPENPRESS) February 5, 2008 -- Cookbook author, Nancy Geiger, announces the launch of her website, www.abridescookbook.com, which has the same name as her cookbook, ‘A Bride’s Cookbook or Surviving the First Year’.

“There was so much information, I didn’t have room for in my cookbook,” Geiger said, “that I decided to build a site around it. The site is really like an online cookbook, but much more.”

While the content isn’t the same as what’s in A Bride’s Cookbook, the topics covered are. Some of these include: meals for two, romantic dinners, entertaining easily and inexpensively, healthy eating, meal planning, stocking your cupboards, food safety and food storage.


“People today rush through meals or eat out to save time.” Geiger says, “Eating at home as a couple (and eventually a family) is a chance to relax and connect. To build bonds and share. When we don’t do this, families are fragmented, we don’t eat as healthy and we eat too much: too much sodium, too much fat and just plain too much food.”

Fast food, huge restaurant portions and eating on the fly have created a fat and unhealthy America, Geiger believes. Her website is meant to show not only brides, but anyone, how simple it is to plan and cook easy healthy meals and how much fun it is to entertain at home.

“I want this to be a helpful resource for people, just like my book.” Geiger said, “To have information all in one place that homemakers (whether a single person who lives alone, a new bride just learning to cook or a busy mom of a large family) can find fast. Like a calorie chart! I searched all over the internet for a simple chart that showed the calories of basic foods. I wanted something on one page I could see at a glance. And couldn’t find it. So I have one of those on my site.”

Check out the site and/or purchase the book at http://www.abridescookbook.com

Skin Care Gifts You Can Make in Your Own Kitchen – And They’re Fast (LINK)

January 22nd 2008 00:08
If you’re one of those last minute shoppers, you might be spending the next few days out looking for holiday gifts. Just about anyone would be grateful for good old-fashioned skin care products but, this year, opt for natural skin care that will really make a difference. In fact, you can even make them yourself with one ingredient you’re sure to have around – cranberries. Here are a few ideas you can cook up in your kitchen.

Why are skin care products with cranberries such a great gift? While cranberries aren’t quite a superfood, their high phytonutrients and antioxidant content makes them an ideal ingredient for skin care products. They help prevent bacterial build up in the body and on the skin, and the antioxidants fight free radicals – one of the major causes of aging. Getting a free radical treatment with these recipes will be like going to the spa

Photo Box

I had seen these on some photo processing sites, and I thought, "I could make that!"

Wasn't difficult, just used a photo printed on my own printer, and ModPodge as a sealer

Hard to Find Gift

December 6th 2007 18:53
A tie tack - that's all he's asked for - a tie tack!

I've looked in all my usual places - Walmart, my favorite department stores, and the mall - and I haven't been able to find one. I finally did a search online. WOW! I found bunches of them

Those ADS come in handy sometimes...

December 5th 2007 18:47
I know we're not supposed to click on our own ads, but sometimes I see one I just can't resist. I found a personalized gifts website I absolutely love!

Personalization Mall is my dream site. I'll admit, I frequently don't buy personalized items, but I love to find new ideas for things to make. And, sometimes, I do purchase such items as well
