Wonderful Gifts for the Women in Your Life
If you are like me, you have likely heard the men in your life say something to the effect that it’s impossible to know what women really want. What they don’t understand, however, is that women are really very easy to please. We don’t need exotic gifts, or presents that put men in debt. Sometimes, it is the simple things in life that please us the most. If you have a special woman in your life and you are tired of crowded shopping malls, understocked specialty shops, and the...
Read MoreTake it Outside: Outdoor Christmas Gifts for Him
I don’t know about you, but when it comes to the Christmas season, my husband is definitely not one of those stay inside kind of guys. It doesn’t seem to matter how cold it is outdoors, how much snow is on the ground, or how brisk the winter wind is, he simply cannot stand being in the house. While his outdoorsy side is something I truly love about him, and I am grateful that he isn’t a couch potato like some of my friends’ husbands, when it comes time to buy Christmas...
Read MoreRomantic Christmas Gifts
With 7 kids, 5 of which are of the “dating” age, the search for unique romantic Christmas gifts, birthday gifts and anniversary presents has become something of an obsession around our house.

It is almost like they...
Read MoreThe Ins and Outs of Shopping for a Co-worker
Let’s face it- shopping for a Christmas gift for a co-worker can be one of the most frustrating tasks you will ever complete; especially if you don’t really know that co-worker very well.

Read MoreGetting a Head Start with Christmas Gifts for Kids
The repeated slam of the back screen door last weekend reminded me that summertime is fast approaching. As the kids gathered around with all of their friends to “hang out”, I began to think about all of the “hanging out” we do during the Christmas season. All of the laughing, joking, and just plain connecting that we experience during the holidays should probably be enough to hold me over throughout the rest of the year, but for some reason it isn’t. Thankfully, I...
Read MoreTop Notch Gift Ideas for the Executive
Whether we want to admit it or not, the executives in our lives hold a special place in our hearts. When something needs done, they make sure to get it done right. Executives are often focused, determined, and-well, sometimes a little bit uptight, but we adore them anyway.

If only the best will do for that special executive on your Christmas list this year, look no further!...
