Did you know Women Also Like Chocolate

Valentine Chocolates gifts

Last week I dropped a bit of a bombshell, letting you know that women do, in fact, enjoy flowers. This week I’m here to impart a bit more knowledge: women also like chocolates. Around this time of year, said chocolates are even more effective when delivered in heart-shaped boxes. And if you really want to go for the gusto, you can get her both. Yep, I know it’s crazy, but it does tend to work from time to time.

So now that I’ve dropped this serious knowledge, I need to tell you where to go to get these chocolates. source: blog.ebates.com/ebates/gifts/

Gifts Free Shopping

I love shopping. For myself especially (ha!), but for others even more so. Why? Because then I don’t have “the guilt”. There’s nothing quite like absolving yourself of shopping sins by playing the gift card:

The wonderful thing about shopping for my bridesmaids was that it was actually true.

I first looked at the old bridesmaid gift standby – monogrammed totes and personalized flip-flops. My honest reaction? Not too enthused.

I know that any gift involving a monogrammed tote or shoes with their initials on them would be relegated to the back of the closet. So I did what any practical bride would do—shopped for unpractical gifts. No, I’m not talking about useless tchotchkes—I’m referring to those beautiful items that you pass by in the window but never really buy for yourself. In other words, the fun stuff!

One of my bridesmaids doesn’t have pierced ears, so I got her this bangle set, also from allisonmooney.

Celebrate the arrival of summer with a party

It has certainly taken its time, but it looks like the summer is finally here with blue skies and sunshine forecast for at least a good few days. There are plenty of reasons to celebrate at this time of year – the weather, the sport – and thousands of students have exams coming to a close. The summer is also the time of year when most people have their birthdays – more people are born between May-August than in the winter months. So it seems the perfect time to celebrate with a party.
If you have a big birthday coming up, perhaps a 30th, 40th or 50th birthday party, you can buy 40th birthday party supplies online, generally for cheaper than you would find in the shops, as well as being able to pick from a bigger range.
You can also get hold of many other supplies for your party, as well as gifts for someone else’s party online. Fancy dress parties are popular all year round – with everyone dressing up in costumes of their choice or following a particular theme. There has been a lot of coverage about the Beatles recently due to their 50th anniversary, and with the summer here it is also a good time to celebrate the summer of love, by dressing up in sixties fancy dress costumes. Beatles outfits as well as hippy-style costumes for men and women can be purchased online.
If your kids are having a party soon, perhaps to celebrate a birthday, a fancy dress party can be great fun. Most online stores stock fancy dress for kids and adults alike, and the children’s will have a great time dressed up as their favourite TV or book characters.
