Valentine's Day Gift Advice For The Last Minute Shopper

Valentine's Day is quickly approaching and guys everywhere are quietly panicking about what to get their girlfriends and wives for this most romantic of holidays. While flowers and chocolates are always in fashion, the one gift that every woman will always appreciate is jewelry. As February approaches jewelers across the country and around the world are gearing up to help men that have waited too long to visit their local jewelry store.

What to get the woman in your life is largely dependent on her lifestyle, her taste, and much you're willing to spend (which can be directly proportionate to how much you've screwed up lately). With options like necklaces, rings, earrings, and even watches out there, here are few things to consider about each.

Necklaces

First of all, if you have small children, you may want to reconsider a necklace, however, necklaces are a great Valentine's present due to their versatility. Whereas some other jewelry may be better suited for either casual or formal settings, with few exceptions, necklaces can work great with jeans and a t-shirt or a nice formal dress.

Aside from being versatile with her attire, necklaces also have the advantage of coming in a variety of sizes and styles, ranging from gold and silver, with or without gems, and in varying lengths to fit every taste and style.

Watches and Bracelets

The first thing to consider when looking at either a watch or bracelet is whether the person you're buying it for is a watch or bracelet person. Some people just don't like to have things around their wrists and nothing ruins an amazing present like a lack of use. That being said, the second thing to consider when looking at bracelets and watches is how formal you want to get. Both bracelets and watches are pieces of fine jewelry, and how fine you want to get will greatly affect what you end up getting.

Whether you want to get a bracelet covered in diamonds or a watch that gives the time zone in Batswana, keep in mind what setting you want the person you're buying it for to wear it in. If you're looking for a more formal gift, stick with a tennis bracelet. If you're more interested in getting them a gift they can use every day, a nice watch can be classy and stylish, but still work with a wider variety of clothing styles to allow for more use.

Earrings

Earrings, much like necklaces, are great because of their versatility and availability at numerous jewelry stores. When considering earrings keep in mind any small children as they tend to grab long, dangling earrings, which can result in injuries. Earrings can come in studs, hoops, and dangles, and are available in a variety of different golds, silver, and, of course, diamonds. If you're not sure what kind of earrings your wife or girlfriend might like, simply take a peek in her jewelry box to see what kind she has the most of. Most people buy a specific style based on what they enjoy the most.

Rings

Buying a ring for somebody at Valentine's Day doesn't mean you have to buy a diamond engagement ring. Fashion rings are a very popular way to give somebody a ring that shows you care without having to pop the question. Fine jewelry such as an emerald or ruby ring is perfect for those that enjoy their birth stones or have a favorite color. For those that are already married, Valentine's Day is a great time to upgrade the diamond engagement ring you bought her when you first asked her to marry you. She said yes then, but a new, nicer ring will have her saying yes all over again.

Get Out There

Just because you've waited until the last minute to buy her something for Valentine's Day doesn't mean there's nothing out there. Do some quick research, talk to your local New York, Los Angeles, and Richmond jewelers, and make sure you get her something that will make her smile – be it earrings, necklaces, watches, bracelets, or rings.

Perfume Gift - Make your Choice Sensual

When choosing to give a perfume gift to a relative or friend there are many things to consider. Careful thought should be put into this decision and then proper selection needs to be made to make sure the perfume gift is desired and useful to the recipient. Endless bottles of perfume have been given over time to only sit on a shelf gathering dust. Everyone, do not have the same type of skin nor the same mood, with the result that the perfumes do not have the same odor on each one of us. It is indeed a sad way for any gift to end up. It is much better to take the time to find the perfect perfume gift for that special person.

Types of Gifts to Give

One thing to consider when looking at giving a perfume gift is does the person wear perfume. Some people have allergies and sensitivities to scents that would make a perfume gift a bad choice. Often, people may not wear fragrances regularly, but may enjoy a gift that included perfumed sachets, lotion, room spray or candles. These types of gifts are desirable for a person to have and use in the home as decorative items or as fragrances.



The perfume gift should be a scent that they will value and be able to use. Men usually make the mistake of giving a scent they have smelled on another person at one time or another and thinking the special person in their life will like it. This is not a smart decision. To offer a perfume gift to your wife, choose the one she prefers. The giver should take the time to find out what types of scent the person likes to wear and choose either the same scent or one very similar. Certainly this will make the perfume gift a welcome item.

Types of Perfume Gifts

For a person who is not acquainted with the perfume industry the choice of perfume gifts is huge and can be very overwhelming. It is notable to understand the various types of fragrances that can be chosen. True perfume is usually very costly but is the most potent of all the scent strengths. The best great classic gifts are French perfumes like Cacharel, Chanel, Rochas, Bvgulari ... The perfume bottles are small and beautifully designed to represent the personality of the fragrance and the designer.

Those who do not need such a costly gift may give Eau de Toilette, which is eight to fifteen percent essential oil, or Eau de Cologne, which is about four percent essential oil. Considering these types of fragrance are less potent they cost much less and will come in a larger bottle. Most perfume manufacturers even offer a perfume gift package that will come with several small bottles of their scent in various forms. Gorgeous looking bottles and eye catching package designs will make your gift more appealing. Consider this a very nice choice for a perfume gift for that special person.

Fun Ideas For The Holidays

The holiday season is a great time to share some smiles and laughs! And holiday humor helps you develop a well-tuned humor radar.

1. Have a humorous gift exchange at your holiday party. This works great if you have a healthy humor climate where people use humor in a positive way.

2. Just before the holidays, encourage people to bring some of their favorite ethnic holiday treats to work or one of your group meetings. Coming from a Norwegian background, I'd bring rosettes, fatigmand and lefse.

3. Decorate a tree for the holidays with a humorous flair. For example, a car dealership could decorate a tree using car parts. If you travel a lot, collect fun trinkets from your trips to brighten your tree.

4. Save the holiday cards you receive this year and "recycle" them next year. Just cross out the sender's signature, sign your name, and mail it back to the person who gave it to you. You'll start a humorous tradition. I do not recommend sharing this humorous exchange with everyone you get a card from. Be selective!

5. Look for opportunities to take a funny photo of yourself, your staff, or your family. Then use it on a photo holiday greeting card. I've sent a photo card sharing my Halloween costume as a power-nerd.

6. Create your own customized gift wrap. For example, on a large-sheet photo copier you could make personalized wrapping paper decorated with family photos or pictures from your office.

7. Wrap a holiday gift in a "nest of boxes" (a small box in a larger box, in a larger box, etc). When the large box is opened by the recipient, the box inside is addressed to someone else. And the next box is addressed to someone else! The final box indicates who really receives the gift; a "musical chairs" style of gift exchange. A nice touch is to give a gift in the final box that can be enjoyed by the whole group. For example, in a family situation, the final box may have Mom's name on it, but contain a trip to Disneyland for the whole family. This is fun because everyone shared in opening the gift.

8. Make extra effort to guarantee that your holiday party is FUN. People won't remember a chicken dinner a year from now. But they'll always remember when they've had a great time and spent the evening laughing together. Your investment making sure the event is entertaining gives you great returns in goodwill and valuable experience in the planning process.

9. Assign a committee to prepare some holiday fun. Write a script filled with humor about your company and people you work with. Write a song parody of one of your favorite holiday tunes which is a tribute to your staff. Present it at a holiday party, or post it on a bulletin board in your office.

10. Remember the true sprit of the holidays. Tis the season to be jolly! Decorate your face with a smile and share it with others.
