Any gift that suggests a "guys' night out" is a sure bet. by Lynne Hayes When a guy's buddies are willing to stand up beside him on the big day - not to mention behave themselves and wear a tuxedo - a big "thank you" is definitely in order. The traditional way to do this is with groomsmen gifts . They're not only the perfect way for the couple-to-be to show their appreciation for performing groomsmen duties like walking Aunt Mildred to her seat at the ceremony, but they also make a nice, enduring reminder of a special time with good friends-perhaps one of the few times you'll all be together as the years and miles take you in different directions. The Challenge: Find One Gift That Fits All While you'll be upholding a longstanding custom by giving gifts to your groomsmen and best man, that doesn't mean they have to be boring or old-fashioned. There are plenty of nifty gifts out there that your buds are sure to appreciate. Before you head out on your gift shopping adventure, though, take a little time to think about your groomsmen's personalities and interests. Your goal is to find a common denominator here, since you'll want to select the same groomsmen gift for all the guys. As a couple, you'll want to discuss your spending limit and consider that in the equation as well-it'll keep you from wandering over to something way out of your price range, which is one sure way to stress out on your mission. So What Makes A Great Groomsmen Gift? Short of receiving "pizza for life" certificates, most guys like groomsmen gifts that make great conversation pieces. If they're useful, too, well, that's a bonus! Some of the most popular items that guys appreciate include: drinking mugs , cufflinks , collectible Zippo® lighters and yes, even flasks . Retro is making a real comeback, and, while your groomsmen may not be big on quaffing brandy on the run, it's the "retro cool" of a flask that makes it a great groomsmen gift idea. The whole Vegas scene is back in style, too, and there are plenty of groomsmen's gifts available that celebrate this fun, very masculine theme. Think Poker Sets , or pilsner glasses featuring card suit symbols. In fact, if you want to make a really big impression, think about combining these two gifts into one great package for each of your groomsmen-it's the ultimate "guy's night out" gift. While these gifts are all memorable, you also have the option of making them truly personal by creating a personalized gift with an engraved message. Start with each of their names or initials, but go the extra step, too-add a unique sentiment just for them, and also the date of your wedding. Years from now, those special words will make your gift a priceless memento, and bring back memories of the good times you've had together throughout your friendship, and on your wedding day. Timing Is Everything: The Best Time To Present Your Gifts We're back to tradition again to answer this question. Most grooms present their groomsmen gifts at the rehearsal dinner, just as the bride will do with her bridesmaids. That's the ideal time, especially if the gift you've selected is to be worn at the wedding ceremony, like cufflinks or pocket watches . It's also appropriate to give the guys their gifts on the big day, perhaps while you're all together in the dressing area, or during the reception. To make the moment special, it's nice to take each of your groomsmen aside, and to give each gift individually-there's no need to get mushy in public when you have something really personal to say to a good friend! It's The Reason Mom Taught You To Say "Thank You" Now that you understand the whole concept of groomsmen gifts, you can see that it might actually be fun to go out shopping for them at Things Remembered. You've got some great friends, and, between tuxedo fittings, guest seating, and that goofy "groomsmen only" dance you'll probably make them perform, you've got plenty of good reasons to say "thank you" for being by your side for this big moment in your lives. So make a day of it, and get over to the mall and visit Things Remembered - they'll help you pick out the perfect gifts to thank your groomsmen - and your bridesmaids too! Once you two cross all the groomsmen and bridesmaids off your gift list, lunch at the food court awaits! Sign up to receive email updates, sales alerts, and special offers from Things Remembered.

However, if you must buy your spouse an appliance (shudder!), then at least make sure it is something he/she will use and not just take up space in a cabinet. Bob knows better than to buy me any appliances as gifts. 1) Kitchen Appliances Whether it is a bread maker, or a rice cooker, or an electric grill, or a mixer, or some other gadget for the kitchen, please be sure it is something your spouse really yearns for. Bob has been yearning for a new fancy mixer. I just can't bring myself to buying it as a gift. 2) Household Appliances This category includes vacuum cleaners, sewing machines, heaters, air purifiers, air conditioners, irons, ceiling fans, washers, dryers, dishwashers, and humidifiers. Nothing sounds romantic to me at all. 3) Hair Appliances Another category that has no romance to it at all. Think twice about this one. 4) Bath Spa Now this one has some romantic possibilities!

Birthday Present Birthday Present At A Glance Author Gabrielle When A year ago Artist Scott Studio Milano body Piercing Location Milwaukie Well, there I was, a 13 year old wanting a navel piercing. Typical, right? So one day I looked it up, just out of boredom. And I soon found out more about them, standard gauges, jewlery website, all on piercing website. I suddenly became fascinated with piercing (not on myself...just in general) and learned alot. So, I decided that I was going to go for a navel piercing for a present to myself to starting high school/finishing middle school. My mother insisted that I get my nose pierced and I said no. I know, isnt it a little strange...it's usually the other way around. Anyway I didn't ask my dad because I knew that he'd say no because he doesnt even understand why people put holes in their bodies when he spent his entire life trying to keep them out. So I ask my mother and she says "Yeah okay whatever I dont care, its your body, do what you want." So school is about to start and she suddenly has to look into it and is indescisive. Finally she says yes and I decide to lose a little weight so that my stomach will be more attractive and then go for it. Yeah well that fell through anyway...but whatever. I postponed the piercing to my birthday (September 28th) and picked a few piercing places and called them up asking about the procedure. Some places you had to be 15 so I couldn't go there. I really wanted to go to a place called the Catalyst in downtown Vancouver, Washington but the piercer was out of town when I wanted to get it done. I settled on Milano Body Piercing and told my mother. She again was not sure and had to research it and all of that crap, which I had already done. So she finally agreed. She couldn't take me on the 28th because my stepdad had the car, so we did it the 29th afterschool. She picked me up from school and we drove to my dad's house and I dropped off some stuff. She pretended like she forgot about her and then rolled her eyes but drove me to Milano none the less. I wasnt really nervous and wanted the piercing, and was ready for any amount of pain at all. We find the place with directions from MapQuest and walk in. The place is empty and there is a girl in her twenties behind a glass counter. I say that I'd like a navel piercing and we sign forms and I pick out a stanless steel banana bell with 2 crystal gems. Being half black half white I liked the look it had on my caramel skin and picked it way before hand. The guy came out and nodded and slapped the girl at the register's butt which was a little...strange but I ignored it. Anyway the guy took me into a room like a little dentist and had me sit down. He market it and layed me back and I objected and stood up to make sure it was straight. He then lifted it up right way, and put on the clamp. I was a little creeped out about how fast he did and asked if I was nervous. I said no and looked at the ceiling. The clamp did not hurt. He put on gloves sterilized the area an (well actually he did this before) and then pierced me. The pain felt like a pinch and didnt hurt! I thought "That's it...?" Then I felt a tug and another tug and then looked down and my jewlery was in place. He then sprayed it with a product called H20cean and I was good to go. It took about a min. and a half, very fast! I went out and payed and was very pleased. I also bought the same sea salt spray and payed and was on my way. I had always had trouble with my ears. I was extremely worried that the piercing would keloid or migrate out if I lost some weight (I was just curvy). I got home and cleaned the piercing with anti-bacterial hand soap and sprayed it. It stung a little but after a while it was fine. Months went by and it was still healing. Around december I noticed that the bottom was getting darker and looked like a keloid was forming. I flipped out. I had also run out of H2Ocean so was using regular sea salt soaks and the shot glass cut around my bellybutton so I had a half moon scar next to it. I bought more H20cean and cleaned it. The bump at the bottom went away but then came back. I got irritated again and then started to religiously clean it even though it looked 80% healed, twice a day, sea salt sprays 5 times a day as recommended on the spray can. Low and behold the keloid completely dissapeared and now my navel is pretty much healed. Around my birthday it will be healed, which means it took it around 1 year. Its strange because I usually heal really quickly except with piercings. Anyway, H20cean was a God sent and my navel is good to go! What a great birthday present.

Fake (plastic) pearls are the perfect complement to this elegant gold wrapping paper. Get more for your buck by using giftwrap such as this clay-pot wrap, which can be a gift as well, . A shrink-wrapped gift basket is always a treasure during the holiday season. Figure A Figure B Craft Paper Wrap This particular wrap was done with kraft paper (guest Michael Basler says you can use a garbage bag as well) and spray paint. Here's how: Crumple the kraft paper (or garbage bag). Flatten out the paper and spray-paint it -- from an angle, not straight down. Be sure to use a color (red, green, etc.) that will contrast with the kraft paper or garbage bag. Decorate with raffia and a homemade tag or purchased card. Elegant Gold Wrap with Fake Pearls This gift is more about the trim than the actual wrapping paper, which is basic gold giftwrap. Simply wrap a string of plastic "pearls" around the package; use hot glue at the beginning and the end of the string to keep the pearls in place. Attach a plastic "pearl" button to the front for an elegant holiday package. Note: Other great embellishments include silk leaves and cord tassels. Clay Pot Wrap Another crafty idea is to fill two small clay pots with a gift such as garlic, place the pots together with raffia or decorative paper-twist ribbon and top with dried berries. Some other ideas include using a large clay pot that's decorated with gold embellishments and filled with gardening supplies, or a painted one whose saucer is being used as the lid -- filled with goodies such as honey, etc., and tied together with rope. Shrink-Wrapped Gift Basket Yes, you can shrink-wrap a gift yourself. Here's how: Fill a basket with any kind of goodies (chocolates, cookies, etc.) desired, and wrap the basket in a shrink-wrap bag, which can be found at any craft or party store. Melt the shrink-wrap with a blow-dryer ( figure A ). Note: Shrink wrap comes in colors as well as clear -- red, green or gold would be perfect for the holidays. Other Wrapping Ideas from Michael Basler: Wrap a bottle of wine with organza fabric, tied with ribbons and decorated with a string of fake "pearls" and a bow. Use denim fabric that's frayed at the edge for compact diskettes, DVDs or video tapes. Simply tie the ends with cowhide cord. For the inside of the box, consider surrounding the gift with different-color tissue-paper rosettes ( figure B ). RESOURCES: Wraps and Roll-Ups Model: 1558672095 Author: Dona Z.
