This candle that brings love.

I never thought a day will come when I write about sentimental products because I am the most 'anti sentimental animal ' as my family members call me.

Yes, I have compromised not on my character but on my determination to write about products that people value for sentimental reasons.

Look at the candle below and guess how long will it last. "This candle is nice decor for any number of decorative settings and will last a long time. It has no odor like some of the other scented candles."



















This website is unique in the sense it sells unusual products at a very cheap price and the beauty is they get sold out in just one day. So, if you like a product, you have to buy at once; no use in procrastinating.

Do you know the gift market?

I am 100% sure that everyone had undergone a mental block when choosing the perfect gift for an occasion.

Almost whatever idea that came to our mind would have been bought earlier. We all have the natural tendency to show our brilliance or innovative ideas through gift. It is a cherished expression that the receiver values and remembers for long.

Here is an Internet Gift Market that can give us plenty of new ideas for gift. For example look at the tubular candle holder below made of glass.














Isn't is terrific?

In this web site, we can search for gifts for every occasion like new baby arrival, house warming, fathers day apart from the regular festivals and events. The range of gift items or new baby arrival is extensive.

A good resource for gifts.

The language of flowers.

No one can say for certain the exact language of flowers!

From the stone ages to modern times, men and women expressed many emotions like reverence grief, love, respect, affection, joy with just about every kind of flowers.

Similarly no one is really sure how Valentine's Day got its start; there are as many guess and stories as flowers.

The holiday is named after two men, both Christian martyrs named Valentine. The day became associated with romantic love in the High Middle Ages

Only in the second half of the 20th century, the practice of exchanging cards was extended to all manners of gifts in the United States, usually from a man to a woman.

Such valentines day gifts typically included roses and chocolates. In the 1980s, the diamond industry began to promote Valentine's Day as an occasion for giving jewelry.

Do you know that Valentine's Day has emerged in Japan and Korea as a day on which women, and less commonly men, give candy, chocolate or flowers to people they like? This has become an obligation for many women.

From a wide range of fantastic flowers to melting cookies and savory snacks, Dot Flowers has everything for every type taste and beliefs.

Do you know parasol?

<---- Parasols. Image courtesy: wikipedia.org Parasols are colorful paper umbrellas used in outdoor or garden wedding parties. I came across this word when I was asked to write about a web release by bridesmaid gifts, a pioneer in wedding favors and gifts.

I am always interested in knowing about new cultures and customs.
What about you?
Please read on; who knows what knowledge you gain, is going to be useful in your life.

They speak about 10 different types of wedding plans.
Each plan is loaded with different food, different decoration with games and shows to enliven the occasion. They also throw away a few useful tips.

If the wedding is formal, they suggest BBQ Bash.
The two families are introduced over burgers, dogs, and Aunt Jessica’s famous baked beans.
Scattered picnic tables allow everyone to interact casually as they pass food cooked up by the dads bonding over grill duty.
Tables are decorated with wildflowers in galvanized tin pails and jars of homemade jam laid out on red-and-white checkered tablecloths.

The Orient Express Think fusion:
Order a Chinese restaurant cater dinner, hire a sushi chef to make rolls, and serve mini-pad thais as an appetizer.
Litter colorful paper lanterns and parasols to ornate origami.
For centerpieces, put exotic and fragrant orchids, colorful lotus blossoms or just fanciful origami creations.
Fried bananas or mango ice cream bring a sweet finale to your gathering. Consider ornate fans or personalized fortune cookies as favors.

Dip From buffets:
Start with toast points and various cheese pots: blue cheese or Gruyere are good starters.
Move on to meats, potatoes, and veggies, which can each be dipped in sauces (like teriyaki, red wine, and ginger) and cooked right on the table.
For dessert, dip fresh fruit, squares of firm cake or brownies, bananas, and marshmallows in pots of melted chocolate, caramel, marshmallow, honey, and yogurt.
Give guests a take-home version of one of the dishes or even a monogrammed fondue fork.

Good Times Bowl:
A themed bowling party is big fun.
The menu is easy: microwave pizza (or delivery), nachos, pretzels, and other foods from the snack bar.
Stage competitions between the two families, or do boys vs. girls, and give awards at the end of the night. Winners receive a bowling shirt embroidered with “Team Chris & Sara,” while everyone else takes home sugar cookies iced to look like bowling balls.


Feelin’ Lucky:
Send out invitations on customized playing cards for your casino night, and decorate surfaces with chocolate poker chips.
Let your bridal party take turns dealing blackjack, poker, and other card games (or hire a real dealer), and consider, bingo matches and having raffle prizes.
No casino is complete with out lots of chic sips, so keep the champagne flowing as gambling guests spend the evening toasting the bride and groom.

Big League:
Proclaim the wedding festivities officially underway with an excursion to a local stadium or baseball field for some hoots and dogs.
Many ballparks offer group packages, complete with a congratulatory message on the scoreboard.
Personalized baseball caps or plastic beer steins make perfect souvenirs after guests have eaten their fill of Cracker Jacks and peanuts.
For your own memories, have all the guests sign a “game ball.”

Toast of the Town:
Select six to eight different wines of all the same grape varietals (do all Shiraz, or all chardonnay, etc.) so guests can really taste the difference a winemaker and a vineyard makes.
Start by presenting the different wines with the cheeses they complement, or invite a local vintner to do the honors.
For décor think grapes, grapes, and more grapes. You can hang, stream, and strategically place bunches of fresh red and green grapes, vines, and berries on tables with beautiful results. And for favors? Mini wine bottles, of course.

Destination Theme:
Going somewhere tropical for your honeymoon?
Give guests a little sneak peek and transform your dinner into your destination.
Hang hammocks from trees in your backyard, serve dinner buffet-style on long surfboards, blend pina coladas and daiquiris, and let Jimmy Buffet blast.
For fun favor ideas, try personalized messages in glass bottles, flip-flops, or gift certificates for a spray tans.

Tee Time:
If you and your fiancé share a love of the links, let your guests in on your spare-time passion. Have your rehearsal dinner at a country club or golf course, and let everyone spend cocktail hour perfecting their swing at the driving range.
Get creative with your gift ideas and personalize golf tees or golf balls. For a pared-down version, set up a putting area in your own yard and build an obstacle-laden mini-golf course. Fore!

"The Night Before Christmas."

The jolly elf image of Santa Claus had received a big boost with the poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas," now better known as "The Night Before Christmas." written in 1823.

Sure, Santa Claus, and Christmas Gifts are synonymous.
When St.Nicholas was brought by the first Europeans who arrived in the New World he was regarded as a kindly Christian saint, good Bishop.

So when, St. Nicholas became a roly-poly red-suited American symbol for merry holiday festivity and commercial activity? Before you know that please be aware of his difficult time during the 16th century Protestant Reformation which took a dim view of saints.

Even though both reformers and counter-reformers tried to stamp out St. Nicholas-related customs, they had very little long-term success,
because the common people so loved St. Nicholas.

He survived on the European continent as people continued to place nuts, apples, and sweets in shoes left beside beds, on windowsills, or before the hearth.

Deriving from some of the legendary snippets such as St. Nicholas comes down chimneys to bring gifts, Washington Irving, first gave the modern day image of Santa Claus in his satirical fiction, Knickerbocker's History of New York, published in 1809.

When Nicholas was shown in a gift-giving role with children's treats in stockings hanging at a fireplace by artist Alexander Anderson, people loved it instantly and the rest is history.
