FINDING ANOTHER PERFECT PRESENT FOR VALENTINE’S DAY.
I realize that if it’s difficult to WRITE gift guides back to back (Christmas then Valentine’s day) then it is even harder to SHOP for your lover/friend/mother/father within 30 days of just bestowing them with a meaningful present.
For Christmas, I laid out some great suggestions, so revisit them here.
Otherwise, here are a few more ideas that popped into my head that might yeild a smile.
Gifts She’ll Love Because They’re Stylish and Meaningful
- The Key to Your Heart via Tiffany – I’m not a fan of Tiffany silver, but these Tiffany key pendants are really beautiful and I haven’t seen many of them around..
- New Chan Luu Wrap Bracelets – because you want to be wrapped around her all the time. Go for one with the bigger beads or pearls.
- James Avery hammerd wrap ring - each one of the five circles represents a favorite memory you have together.
- Gift certificate to her favorite store – because you know which one that is.
- Night at the trendy hotel in town — enjoy dinner amongst the hip crowd followed up with “dessert” upstairs. Here are some suggestions. New York: Table 8 in Cooper Square, Le Caprice at the Pierre, The Breslin at The Ace Hotel or Maialino at Gramercy Park. Los Angeles: The Bazaar at The SLS or Asia de Cuba at The Mondrian. Houston: Monarch at The Hotel Zaza or Valentino at The Hotel Derek. Dallas: Chalie Palmer at The Joule or Dragonfly at The Hotel Zaza; Las Vegas: Encore or Aria. Miami: Plat Bleu at The Delano or Scarpetta in Fountainbleau.
Things He Doesn’t Know He Wants, But He’ll Fall in Love With:
- Molton Brown products - I like the Cassia scent (try the body spray/deodorant), the Cool Buchu Eau de toilette and I know you both will too.
- Hot Sauce of The Month Club — This just sounds like something a guy will appreciate.
- A decent pair of flip flops — Spring is coming up so get him a new pair that will go with everything. You can’t go wrong with a navy pair of Havianas.
- Concert tickets – Because you know what his favorite band is.
- A new wallet — His is probably a little beat up so you can treat him to a new one at any price point. You can create a custom picture trifold on Timo’s website – it’s a fun concept. Otherwise call Fred Segal for an Alice Park design. They’re simple, unique, and affordable ($75).
- BEER! – Stock the fridge top to bottom with his favorite beer or try Stone Brew (recommended by my beer junkie friend as “awesome”). You know that will get a big smile!
- Subscription to Sirius/XM radio — if he’s a sports fan, he’ll love all the talk shows
- Proper Cloth custom shirt – for a shirt you can both agree, click here for MTM discount link ($100)
(Full Disclosure: I have received media discounts from the Hotel Zaza w/in the last six months and products from Molton Brown.)
Selecting gifts for a baby is more like searching a gift item that will make life a little simpler and convenient for the newly turned parents! Of course, the gifts are supposed for the baby, but he/she is too small to even comprehend or use them. Consequently, choose baby gifts keeping in mind the needs of the new parents.
To make easy your conclusion of picking a baby gifts, Baby rattles are one of the most ideal and practical gifts that can be gifted to a baby. Here are a small number of guidelines on how to decide and buy the most ideal rattle for the baby:
Baby Rattles
Rattles are the only toy babies can play with at such a small age and also actually their first toy. Rattles come in attractive forms and colours which catch the notice of the baby. The rattling sound produced by a rattle draws and interests the baby for hours, at times, thus giving the newly turned parents to indulge in some friendly moments or to take care of other work or commitments. These rattles can be hung down from the top of the baby’s crib and can be played with the help of a battery or by winding their key.
The baby can keep gazing and playing with the rattle while liking the clattering and ringing sounds produced by it. Rattles comes in a variety of shapes. These can be hand held and also in dangling form. For a very small baby, who cannot hold a rattle, a hanging rattle is the most excellent option. The baby is also induced into a sound sleep due to the calming and soothing result of the sound created by a rattle.
While Opting for Baby Rattles:
Read the following instructions in order to buy an apt and safe rattles for a baby:
Unopened rattles are securest and clean for the baby as they are not uncovered to pollutants and to hand touch. Go for an un-tampered or an unopened rattle set.
Small babies have the practice of putting everything and anything they can place their hands on into their mouths. Do not choose for a recycled rattle. Recycled rattle can control toxic paints or plastic, which can be damaging for the health of the baby. Therefore, recycled rattles is a unsafe alternative.
The baby has the tendency of putting it into his/her mouth, small pieces, hanging or attachments can strangle the baby. Choose rattles without any small share or attachments. The end of the rattle should not be smaller than 2 inches.
Opt a rattle with vibrant and attractive colours, gentle and serene sound and touch than can excite kindle the baby’s sense of touch. Decide a rattle that is gorgeous in form so that it can draw and stimulate the baby.
Small babies cannot seize or hold a rattle, consequently, gift them wrist rattles that be attached to their little wrists or legs. Opt rattles in relation to the baby’s age. And they can take pleasure in them whenever they move their hands or legs (which babies often do).
Rattles can keep the baby occupied and the parents peacefully free for a while and are perfect present that a small baby cans take pleasure in.
