How To Spot The Valuable Cameos

By Jon Kreps

Although the traditional cameo design dates back to the times of antiquity over two thousand years ago, it apparently disappeared during the Middle Ages. The design reappeared during the Renaissance and reached the peak of popularity in modern times during the infamous "Victorian Age". Many of the Victorian era cameos are now commanding top dollar and can be worth thousands while the market is also flooded with a ton of imitation pieces that are relatively worthless and unlikely to appreciate in value. Identifying the cheap knock-offs will help you better identify the more valuable pieces that can be lurking at any flea market which will almost certainly be under-priced.

Typically, the best and most valuable pieces are carved while your cheaper imitation pieces will tend to be molded and made from plastic or glass. Carved versions are almost always worth more but some molded cameos made from Bake Lite can actually be more valuable as they are hot collectors' items today. But rather than focusing on the rare exceptions, however, it would likely be more profitable to locate the carved pieces.

One can readily spot even the best imitation molded pieces because they will have rounded features and a noticeable lack of precise or sharp lines. In addition, the plastic versions will be significantly lighter than a carved piece in the vast majority of cases. Finally, the quality of the other materials used to create the imitations pieces will often reveal clues about the true value of the piece.

Carved cameos made from shell, however, can be difficult to distinguish from the plastic molded versions because they have been purposely designed to perfectly mimic the carved pieces. Cameos made out of shell are often lightweight so you need to be aware that the carved cameos will tend to feature a pair of colors and will be crafted from a single shell.

Carved stone cameos will almost always command the greatest prices because they are hand-crafted and take more time to create. But be careful as the stone portrait may actually be applied or molded. To positively identify, be sure to examine the junction between the plaque and the portrait. The back of the portrait on a carved stone cameo will appear under carved or concave when viewed next to their glass counterparts.

In general, focusing on whether or not a cameo portrait has been carved or molded is the quickest way to identify the most valuable pieces to collect. Both carved and molded pieces have distinctive characteristics that make it easy for the trained eye to identify. By taking the time to learn and identify the traditional characteristics of the carved pieces, one can typically locate under-priced pieces in most flea markets that can be resold for significant profit.

A Personalized Money Clip - Many Choices To Fit Any Man's Personality

By Ned D'Agostino

A money clip is a simple device used to keep your cash, important receipts, and credit cards in one compact location, and is typically used in place of a bulky wallet. A money clip doesn't have to be boring to do its job well. A personalized money clip is a classy way to carry around your money and look good at the same time. There are several materials from which a money clip is manufactured and each style fits a different person on your gift list.

Money clips come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors, making them the ideal gift for just about everyone. Money clips are round, oval, rectangular, and square. Some money clips are very fancy, with diamond studs or diamond engravings.

Metal money clips are the most popular and can be made of stainless steel, titanium, platinum, white gold, silver or gold. They're seen as a luxury item and are always a gift appreciated by the recipient. The metal can be engraved with a fancy or simple monogram, making it a personal gift that fits just that person.

Another style of money clip is the magnetic clip. Created from two strong, flat, round or rectangular magnets usually encased in leather, they are designed to swivel into an open or closed position. This style of money clip is very masculine and is capable of carrying more cash than a metal money clip, making it very popular in some circles.

For the person who likes to carry not only cash, but also credit cards close at hand, a hybrid money clip is the perfect choice. It is designed specifically to hold more with its swivel magnetic clip attached to the backside of the clip itself.

Leather money clips are sometimes called a slim wallet because they are slim enough to fit into your front pocket as well as your back pocket. This style of money clip will sometimes have pockets not only for your credit cards, but a clear window for your identification as well. Colors vary from the traditional black to browns, tans, dark greens, and even a cr่me color. Personalize a leather money clip by embossing initials or a special symbol on the outside.

Some money clips are formed into the shape of a dollar sign, a paper clip, or a horseshoe. Others have a built-in pocketknife, making them even more unique. There are even money clips that have a working watch conveniently built-into the design. It's even possible to have your favorite sports team emblem embedded into your money clip.

Custom money clips are also a classy way to go, but many times the manufacturer will require a minimum number of clips to be ordered at one time. Unless you are ordering for a large number of people (100 or more), this may not be an option for you.

The style of money clip a person carries tells you a little bit about that person. It may tell you if they are wealthy, down-to-earth, organized, flashy, or a relatively simple person. Money clips vary in price range, so you're likely to find one that will fit your budget.

A personalized money clip is a fashion statement all on its own. They are a status symbol for some, and a necessary accessory for others. Take the time to choose exactly the right one for each person on your gift list and you'll enjoy their excitement when they open their very own-initialed money clip.

The Monogrammed Money Clip - A Perfect Gift For Many Occasions

By Ned D'Agostino

Are you looking for a special gift to commemorate a special person or occasion? A monogrammed money clip is always appreciated and lets the recipient know you were thinking about them. Money clips are compact, simple and efficiently keep important receipts and money in one place.

A monogram is a special symbol, traditionally consisting of a person's three initials. Monograms can be very simple or elaborate, depending on the person to whom it is going to be given. A money clip monogrammed with initials or a special symbol is the perfect gift for special occasions.

Weddings

Money clips are an especially popular groomsmen gift item. Not only is a money clip a kind reminder of the wedding of which they were a part, but it is a functional gift as well. A money clip is a handsome way to show your appreciation to your friend or family member for standing up with you at your wedding. The father of the bride and the father of the groom would most likely appreciate a money clip too. Depending on the personality of the recipient, a funny note or a few words about what that person means to you, could be clipped inside the money clip for a personal touch. Or, you could have a diamond stud added to each money clip along with their initials for an especially elegant and classy touch.

Retirement Gift

Engrave a money clip for your boss when he retires, with not only his initials, but also kind words, or his favorite saying. The saying could be his mantra he repeated over and over to encourage his associates. Engrave on the money clip the number of years he worked faithfully for the company and maybe the date he actually retired. Every time he pulls out his money clip, he will be reminded of all of the good people he worked with over the years.

College Graduate

What better way to encourage the college graduate to go after the job of his dreams than to present him with a money clip especially monogrammed with his initials? Encourage him to get that job he's been studying for and working toward for so long, so he can have something, (cash!), to put into his very own money clip. Engrave the date of his graduation and the name of his college on the opposite side of the clip as a reminder of when he received it.

Christmas Gifts

The men in your life already have everything...what do you give them at one of the most magical times of the year? If they don't already have one, consider placing a money clip with their initials on it under the tree. It's a unique and special gift just for them, and it's guaranteed it won't sit on a shelf to gather dust, since everyone needs a classy and efficient way to carry around their cash and credit cards.

There is a monogrammed money clip to fit every personality. Gold, silver, leather, and sterling silver are a few of the materials from which money clips are created. Each style can be monogrammed or engraved to make it unique to the person receiving it as a gift. Get one for each man in your life this year and they'll appreciate and use the money clip you took the time to choose and monogram just for them.

Fantastic Father's Day Fun

By Nancy Andrews

Father's day is all about dad and how much we appreciate him. What I didn't know until recently is that in other countries Father's day is celebrated on different days. We all know (or should know) that in America Father's Day is celebrated on the 3rd week in June. After doing quite a bit of research the origin of this holiday is not clear although some attribute it to Sonora Dodd who was raised by her father after her mother passed away. The important thing is on Father's day dads across the nation get to take it easy.

Kids really love doting on their dad so encourage that. Start by getting them involved in a creative project that results in a hand made gift from the heart. Even if it's just a crayoned card, your kids will love doing it and dad will love getting it. And if you want to treat him like a king, consider bringing him breakfast in bed or grilling dinner for him.

Beyond the kids' gifts 'mom' might just want to get dad something too. Although even a store bought card is appreciated. Men don't want an overly sappy card, they appreciate something funny. Of course there's a lot more to consider beyond cards...

Through different activities and events we make our dad feel very special on the Fathers Day and tell him that "Dad you mean the world to us". Indulging the sweet daddies with breakfast in bed; gifting out cards, flowers, chocolates ,neckties, shirts, electronic gadgets, stationery items; games and various other activities, get-togethers mark Father's Day to strengthen the bond between a father and child and are the traditional way of celebrating Father's Day not only in U. Each June on Father's Day, families treat Dad to dinner out or a special day of Dad-centered activities.

If you are going to go big with a gift for your dad, a GPS is a cool gadget most dads will love. If your father is the James Bond type who needs a GPS for the car, the boat/yacht, trails, and hunting, then there's only one GPS for you: Magellan's CrossOver GPS. If your dad is a biker dude, the best motorcycle GPS may just be Garmin's zumo 550 which provides all the features of a top automotive GPS and customizes Garmin's interface so it's glove-friendly and has left-handed controls makes to easy to operate while driving. One important consideration in selecting a GPS no matter what brand you are looking at is routing quality. Even if two GPS units have identical maps installed, they may choose very different routes. That's because there's a lot of math and algorithms behind how GPS devices figure out the "best" route to your destination. Another consideration is ease of use. Be sure to use the criteria listed above to make sure you buy the right GPS.

Every year Dad gets this one day of celebration and appreciation. We should get excited and plan something special to mark this special day. Father's play a huge role in ever child's development so let's thank them properly.

Many dads love golf and if your father is one of them, get him something to enhance his game. Unique golf gift ideas include the funny remote control golf ball or maybe golf themed coffee mug or maybe even personalized golf coasters. For more golf gift ideas, visit TheGolfCollection.com.

Saving Money on Gifts Without Losing Quality

By Ryan Page

Giving gifts doesn't have to mean spending piles of money on elaborate or luxurious presents; it's about the spirit and the thought of the present. So, before you spend an entire month's grocery budget on another gift, read on for 5 fantastic tips that will show you exactly how to go about saving money on gifts without sacrificing quality.

1. The Gift of Food

For acquaintances or friends, something as simple as a cute chocolate bar or a jar of fancy, imported horseradish can make a great gift for little expense. If you want to be really thrifty, you could even make your own preserves or baked goods to wrap up and give away. A tasty pie or a bundle of cookies both make wonderful gifts.

When gifting food, make sure it will stay good for long enough to actually deliver the gift. In other words, don't, for example, send a lovingly baked cake through the mail.

2. Magazines

Magazine subscriptions are remarkably cheap, as in less than $20 annually, and they're a gift that keeps giving all year long. Try to find a magazine that fits the recipient's interests. For example, if the person to whom you will give the gift loves running, get them a subscription to a running magazine.

3. The Charitable Donation

Give the gift of charity by making a donation in your gift recipient's name to a favored charity. You don't need to say how much was donated. So whether you donated $5 or $500, a simple card that reads "A charitable donation was made in your name to _______" will suffice.

4. Get Crafty

It's all about making your own gifts to save money. If you have a sewing machine, are good with the knitting needles or even have a knack for painting, it's time to get out your tools and start creating.

Crafting a gift is a wonderful way to put a piece of yourself into a memorable present that's sure to be cherished.

5. Garden Gifts

Plan ahead for gift season by planting your garden with friends in mind - from beautiful bouquets to pretty plants and edible treats, your garden is a great way to grow free gifts. When it comes to gifts, nothing quite beats a basket full of homegrown tomatoes.

Remember, gift giving doesn't have to be expensive. If you look to your garden, your own craft skills, charitable ideas, magazines or even tasty treats, saving money on gifts without abandoning quality is easy.

Eight Gift Ideas For Your Husband

By Janette Vince

Many wives dread those birthdays, holidays, and anniversaries that require them to buy a gift for their husbands. When a guy buys everything he wants on his own throughout the year, it can be tough to find something he doesn't have already-but that he'd be thrilled with. If your husband is a tough nut to crack when it comes to gifts, here are a few easy gift ideas that are sure to hit the mark.

A trip to match his interests. Does he love fly fishing? Why not book him a weekend in a rustic cabin or a trip with a fly-fishing guide? If his tastes are more cosmopolitan, treat him to a weekend in the city, complete with a luxury hotel, gourmet meals, and entertainment. These gifts are easy because you can base them on his general interests. The best part is that you get to come, too-so your gift has romance built right in.

A generous gift certificate. You might think your husband is the kind of guy who already has it all, but believe me, there's always more to buy. No matter what your husband is passionate about-whether it's grilling, electronics, sports, cooking, or anything else-chances are it involves an obsession with expensive, complicated equipment. Try to buy it for him, and you may wind up getting him something he already has-or getting the wrong model or type. Give him a gift certificate to his favorite store, and you give him the freedom to choose something he's wanted to buy.

Tickets to the game. What guy doesn't like sports? Buy him tickets to the game of his choice, whether it's football, cricket, golf, rally racing, the Tour de France-you get the idea. Let him take the guys, or invite you and the kids along-give him the choice. He's sure to appreciate this gift.

Something naughty. This year, buy yourself some lingerie...for him. Pick up something you know he'd like to see you in, even if it isn't to your taste. Plan a sexy surprise around a bedroom activity you know he'd like-whether it's a naughty movie, sexy role-play, or anything else he's into. Send the kids to the babysitter for the night-you won't want any interruptions when you give this present.

Accessories. Guys love to accessorize just as much as women do. Buy him accessories for his favorite equipment. Does he golf? Get him a club-cleaning gadget that clips to his golf bag. Is he crazy about the latest electronics? Buy him a car converter for his iPhone or a pair of fancy earphones for his Mp3 player. Whatever his obsession, there's sure to be a thoughtful little accessory you can buy that he might not have thought of-but that he'd love to have.

A season of his favorite show. Does he love a certain television show? Why not buy him a boxed set of DVD's for the first season? These are gifts you can give year after year, if the show he likes has been running for a long time. Or pick a show he used to love to watch when he was younger-a show that hasn't run in years. Getting the first season of a favorite show from his past is sure to make him smile.

An education. Is he interested in learning something-but never gets time to teach himself? Buy him some lessons, plus the equipment he needs. Whether he's interested in guitar playing, windsurfing, gourmet cooking, or anything else, there are sure to be classes at local stores, colleges, community centers, or sports shops that will introduce him to his new hobby.

A romantic evening out. Is he always the one springing for the romantic dinners by candlelight? Why not turn the tables? Treat him to a gourmet meal at his favorite restaurant. Don't tell him where you're going until you get there-you'll want it to be a surprise. Dress up and make him feel special. Do all the things for him that he'd do for you to make the evening romantic. He's sure to feel loved and appreciated.

Your husband might be the type of guy who "has everything," but he could always use a little more. Buy him gifts that cater to his interests, or treat him to a fun, romantic evening-and you can't go wrong.

Why is Shopping So Satisfying?

By Amy Nutt

Shopping is something that everyone has to do, for some reason or other. You have to go shopping for clothes, food, household items, and other things to accommodate your day-to-day activities. Whatever the reason may be, an average person has to buy something everyday.

Necessity is the main reason for shopping

Necessity is the main reason for shopping. You have to buy foodstuffs and groceries to cook and feed yourself. So, when you complete your daily or weekly grocery shopping, you will be relieved that you have bought everything you need to run your household. You will also be satisfied that you have everything ready to cook for your kids and spouse who need to have their meals and daily necessities everyday.

Shopping for a home is another important thing you have to do. It is not possible for everyone to buy a home immediately after finding a job. So, once you have collected sufficient money and you can afford to buy yourself a house to settle in, you will feel a great sense of satisfaction. This is because it is only when you have your own house that you will really feel that you have settled down in life.

Shopping for luxuries has psychological effects

The next necessity, which can be considered a form of luxury, is a car. With so many brands and models of cars being released nowadays, you will find it difficult to choose the right car that suits your budget and your taste. However, after comparing numerous car prices, consulting with friends and family, and earning enough money to buy a car, you will feel really happy and satisfied when you actually get your first car. You will feel proud to be the owner of a car, and you will experience a sense of satisfaction for having accomplished one of the major goals in your life.

Besides going shopping out of necessity, there are many people who enjoy shopping for luxury items. Some people also shop according to the changing trends of the fashion industry. These people who buy luxuries and fashionable accessories will feel satisfied if they manage to get the latest items of the fashion world, or even things that are exclusive and precious.

Those who are always on the lookout for changing trends and fashions love to buy things that make them the target of envy wherever they go. They are attracted to items that are rare, so that they can stand out from the crowd.

Buying a gift for a loved one is really satisfying

Sometimes, a shopping spree can be something that the doctor recommends to help a patient get out of a bout of depression. Financial constraints, personal problems, health problems or just plain old depression can sometimes be solved with shopping, that is, if you can afford it. Buying something that you have always wanted but cannot afford will give you a great sense of satisfaction. And it is this feeling of satisfaction that will inspire you to have a more positive perception about life, and it can work in your favor to help you overcome your problems.

Buying the gift that you had always wanted to get for your mom, dad or spouse will also make you feel happy. You are satisfied not because you have finally bought the gift, but because of the look of happiness and surprise you see on the faces of your loved one when he or she receives the gift.

As you can see, there are many different reasons why people go shopping. Whichever reason you go shopping for, you will agree that regular or also online shopping is indeed something that is enjoyable and satisfying.

Start your online shopping earlier and buy mothers day gift baskets at discounted prices.

Discount Wine Gift Basket - Make it Yourself

By Michel Marchand

If your budget is tight, making up a discount wine gift basket with products that you can find at your local store will surely save you plenty of cash and best of all, you will have the satisfaction that everything including the basket were hand picked by yourself.

Choosing the right basket.

When choosing your empty basket, try to see if you have a basket that is lying around at your house. As long as it is still in perfectly good condition, it is acceptable to re-use it. It can also be a basket that you have previously received as a gift or any other container that you feel will be appropriate.

Be creative

Do not be scared to let your imagination run wild. Try using themed-based containers or experiment with different colors. An idea would be to use a red basket if the gift is intended for a special someone or Valentine's Day. You can include more than one bottle of wine or exotic fruits like mangoes for a more tropical theme. Try to include food than area bit unusual to give your basket extra character and really make an impression. You can always also find baskets a craft shops and are usually inexpensive.

Choosing the wine

If you visit your local liquor store, chances are that there is an area where discounted bottles of wine are kept for reasons like close outs or maybe that they were not strong sellers. This section is the perfect place to find the discounted wine needed for your discount wine gift basket. The prices are often marked down by 25% to 50% off the original price.

If you are not going to give the gift in the very near future, it pays to visit your local liquor store before and try to find out off the store manager as to when the store moves its current stock to the discounted section. If you are preparing a gift for Christmas or nay gift giving season, try to get in early in order to get the best deal possible. Getting in early will also mean that you will have a wider choice for your gift baskets.

The right food for the occasion

When you are deciding on what type of food to add to the discount wine gift basket, try to stay focus on the theme that you are trying to achieve. If you have been invited to dinner with Italian on the menu, try to include packets of dry pasta, cans of crushed red tomatoes, a jar of sun-dried tomatoes, anchovies, olives or even herbs like basil or oregano and of course a nice bottle of red. Including items that project a theme will not only make your life easy but will definitely get your message across.

A bottle of red wine and some dark chocolates can make a healthy but inexpensive wine gift basket and add to that a nice box of crackers and some other delicious spreads and cheeses and you have yourself a simple discount wine gift basket.

For a full gourmet basket, you could include both a bottle of red and white wines or even a bottle of rose wine. Thrown in some pretzels, various mixed nuts, dried fruit, wholemeal crackers or biscotti for added character with some nice cheese spreads and there you have it. Your gourmet discount wine gift basket is ready.

Utensils

To finish your wine gift basket, just include some utensils like a knife, a few plates, a tray, some wine glasses and don't forget the corkscrew.

Unique Thank You Gifts

By Isis Nouvelle

When one thinks of flower delivery, many different occasions come to mind, both very happy and sad. People typically order flowers as get well gifts, for those who have lost loved ones, and also as thank you gifts. But flowers are most used to commemorate special events such as birthdays, graduations, and anniversaries.

You need to be careful when sending flowers that you don't just send any old stereotyped gift. You need to know what type of floral arrangement or plant your recipient would enjoy, inject some of your own personal taste into the decision, and pay special attention to the occasion for which you are sending the flowers. If you have a local florist, it's possible they might know what the recipient would like, so be sure to ask them.

Before sending flowers to a friend or relative in the hospital call ahead to make sure that flowers are allowed in their room. Even when recuperating at home some patients should not be around live plants and flowers. In these cases your florist can suggest alternatives such as artificial flowers or flower art crafted in crystal or other media.

Special flower delivery can make the gift even better. Choose a unique container. A special basket, planter or vase can hold flowers. It then becomes a part of the gift. A live plant is a good choice for someone who is sick or who is older. It implies that the person who gets it will have more time to live. Be sure to choose a low maintenance plant for someone who is ill.

You can personally arrange for flower delivery by stopping by a local florist who knows what you want, or by calling the florist on the phone. However, you can now order flowers online to be delivered almost anywhere in the world. You may want to start with the web site of your favorite florist, using their delivery network. You may also decide to look for online flower delivery on your own.

When you arrange for flower delivery, an important tip is giving the provider good information about when the person is likely to be home or at the place you are having the floral gift delivered. If it is to a hospital, have the alternate home address available and make sure they will check for discharge before making a futile attempt.

When flowers are delivered to another city or country, be aware that they may not be exactly the same as what you picked since local availability can very. The local florist is expected to come as close as they can in appearance and comparable value but not required to exactly duplicate your picture.

Sending flowers by delivery are appropriate for any occasion from joyous events, such as or thank you gifts, to more solemn ones, such as funerals. When sending flowers, a variety of factors must be considered - the recipient's likes/dislikes, your personal taste, the reason or event for sending flowers, and even whether the recipient is able to receive flowers. A flower delivery can be arranged via in-person, over the phone, or on the Internet but be sure to give the delivery provider enough address information to ensure successful delivery. Also, be aware that certain flowers may be limited to availability in the region.

Thank You Cards - What Do I Say?

By Karen Miller

Sending a Thank You card is a great way to build and maintain a business or personal relationship. It can be simple and to the point, yet still pack a punch with the receiver in demonstrating that you are a sharing and caring person. In our impersonal world, just the simple act of saying "thank you" is very powerful.

When is a Thank You card appropriate to send?

Certainly after any business meeting where you have been introduced to or met someone for the first time is very appropriate. If someone has gone out of there way to give you a "random act of kindness" this certainly warrants a Thank You card as well.

And more importantly, there are many people in our lives that we take for granted that never hear the word "Thank You" from us. Think in your everyday life of all of the people you come in contact with that deserve a heartfelt "Thank You" from you. Could it be a teacher, family member who lives far away, a retired coach, your bank teller, or the hairdresser? Who is that person that is behind the scenes that never gets a word of recognition that deserves it? Take a moment out of your day and send them a card.

Thank You cards are appropriate anytime you want to let someone know that they are special and you appreciate the contribution they have made to your life.

When should Thank You cards be sent?

A Thank You card should be sent out no later than 24 hours after a business meeting. Especially if you are going for an interview, follow-up with a card the minute you return home.

In a random act of kindness, Thank You cards can be sent out at anytime. In fact, Thank You cards can be a way for you to start focusing on the positive things in your life and turn your attention away from yourself and start thinking of others. For example, if you have had a bad day, take a moment to write down five people who are always there for you and send them a Thank You card. Let them know how important they are to you and that it doesn't have to be a holiday to get a card from you. In the act of writing Thank You cards, you are deflecting the negative out of your thoughts and filling your mind with the positive. And most importantly, you are taking action!

What do you say in a Thank You card?

Since Thank You cards are usually only about 3-4 sentences, you have to get to the point quickly. If you are like me, the first sentence is the most difficult to write, so I developed a formula for writing Thank You cards that works. Here is my formula for writing Thank You cards after a business meeting or interview.

1. Start all Thank You cards with this phrase:

"It was a pleasure to meet and visit with you today."

2. Remind them what your meeting was about:

" Thank you for taking time to tell me more about the XYZ company."

3. Give them some feedback on your experience:

"I enjoyed meeting the team members and getting a sense of what XYZ is all about.

4. Close with:

"Thank you, Mr. Jones. I look forward to hearing from you soon."

Sincerely,

Jack Smith

So let's look at the Thank You letter all together:

Dear Mr. Jones,

It was a pleasure to meet and visit with you today. Thank you for taking time to tell me more about the XYZ company.I enjoyed meeting the team members and getting a sense of what XYZ is all about. Thank you, Mr. Jones. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

Jack Smith

What about sending e-cards in this situation? My advice is to always send a REAL Thank You card. An e-Card is very impersonal and may get lost in the spam filter. Stand out in the crowd. Your potential employer deserves a real card. Now, if you were asked to provide additional information via email, then go ahead and send it but also send a real Thank You card too.

Now let's examine a sample for a simple random act of kindness Thank You card:

Dear Sue,

Thank you for taking the time to visit with me today. Your words of encouragement lifted my spirits and I have a much better perspective on "the big picture". I really appreciate your thoughtfulness.

Thank you,

Valerie

The Thank You card may be a simple little card, but it can open doors to new business opportunities or mend a friendship. Make it a habit to send out cards on a daily basis to friends and business associates to build and grow relationships. I hope this article was useful and that you will print and save it for future reference.

Karen Miller makes it a habit to send at least five cards to friends and family every day. Learn more about how to use greeting cards to connect to one another and enrich lives with positive messages. http://www.MyHeartfeltCards.com

Vintage Costume Jewelry - The Gift Mom Can Wear And Collect!

By Jon Kreps

Costume, or fashion, jewelry sold in department stores and home shopping network shows will likely never appreciate in value. Vintage costume jewelry from the 1900's thru the late 1960's, however, is another story entirely. Vintage costume necklaces produced by companies like Bogoff and Eisenberg can literally command hundreds, even thousands, of dollars. Not too bad considering they were sold brand new for a fraction of what these pieces can command on the market today.

Some vintage pieces are rarer than other making them more valuable if other factors are held constant. The great diversity of manufacturers also created vast differences in batch sizes. Profits tend to be lower when talking about pieces made by the larger players like Coro and Accessocraft who produced jewelry in large batches. Barclays, DeMario, and many of the smaller companies had limited facilities and thus tended to have far smaller batches.

As they are so much rarer, those pieces from the smaller companies almost always sell for more than something from one larger manufacturers. But be careful because even the larger players would run small batches that today command top dollar on the market. This is why you really need to know your stuff if you want to really want to find the good stuff!

A piece of jewelry can be rare but command little demand and thus be relatively worthless. The market can be fickle so while some vintage designs are valuable in all market conditions, some are only hot for a moment and then relatively worthless. Profits tend to be highest for investors when they do their homework and avoid purchasing pieces they like as opposed to the ones they know to be profitable.

Seasoned investors sometimes avoid collecting the signed vintage pieces altogether-after all, everyone is already looking out for them, right? This is actually a practical strategy because the truth is that the vast majority of vintage costume pieces are actually unsigned. To identify the more profitable unsigned necklaces and other pieces, seasoned collectors tend to use design traits as the best way to locate pieces by specific manufacturers.

The quality of the materials and construction methods are another pair of factors that tend to greatly affect pricing. There were some companies that were famous for using gemstones of exceptional quality with many of the pieces remaining unsigned. Such companies were:

  • Bogoff
  • Eisenberg
  • Weiss
  • Miriam Haskell

Vintage costume jewelry helped define the Roaring Twenties. Originating in Europe but taken to new heights in both design and manufacture when brought to America after WWI, costume jewelry became a standard in almost every jewelry box. Despite selling for only a few dollars when brand new, many vintage costume necklaces, brooches, and other authentic pieces can be worth $40-$1,000-several times their original purchase price! So the next time you are browsing the Internet for gift ideas for Mom, give her something that will not only transport her back in time to another era-but may just become her next big hobby!

Jon Kreps is a vintage costume jewelry expert at Vintage Temptations which specializes in cameos, and authentic Native American jewelry.

A Mother's Day Gift For My Father

By Laura Weaver

My father can certainly be described as "one of a kind". He has been my life's biggest influence. He has provided for me, both financially and emotionally. He has supported me through all of my growing pains. He let me make my own mistakes, but he's always been there to help me see how to correct them.

I guess all dads play those sorts of roles, but my dad has done it more than most. You see, he has played the role of being both mother and father to me from my first day on this earth. My mother didn't make it through childbirth, you see. My incredible father was able to look past his grief and personal tragic loss to accept this position. It is because of his unconditional love for me that I want to recognize my father on Mother's Day.

I considered giving my father a gift of a golf package where he would be able to choose to play at the local public golf course at a lower rate. He enjoys golfing and this gift would give him the chance to be out in the fresh air and get some healthy exercise. It would also let him socialize with others; something he doesn't often get to do.

Or, I could easily give him a simple photograph of the two of us together, in a very casual pose. It could be one from our fall fishing excursion...him, proudly grinning from ear to ear...me, holding up my trophy-size salmon. I could place it in a hand-made frame with various fishing lures glued around the border. I can see him displaying this on his desk or on his bureau, thinking about the great time we had together each time he looks at it.

It wasn't an easy decision, but I ultimately decided to give him what he truly enjoys. My dad has an insatiable sweet tooth, so I decided on a gourmet cheesecake. He loves a fine dessert, and I know he'll cherish every bite. Besides, I can give him one of those other ideas for Father's Day!

Weaver writes about gift ideas for the internet store EliteCheesecakes.com where you can find a New York cheesecake or 28 other alternatives.

Bejeweled accessories are all the rage. Everything from cell phones to dog collars are now all about the bling factor. Flasks for women are following the trend. You can find flasks covered in every embellishment under the sun.

Other flasks for women are plain stainless steel but with feminine details in the construct of the metal. For example, instead of smooth metal, some have a textured or patterned surface. Similarly, one of the newest types of women's flasks is a stainless steel flask with a colored inlay, such as a pink princess crown or red heart. There are lots of different designs out there, so you're sure to find the perfect fit for every personality.

Another trend in flasks for women is to play with different shapes. Heart-shaped flasks are becoming more and more popular. Women want their flasks to be not only functional but fashionable, too. The rounded-corner rectangular shape of the average flask gets the job done, but it's nothing special to look at. A circular flask is eye-catching; some even resemble a make-up compact.

For a throwback to the wild days of flappers and speakeasies, why not select an ultra-slim flask? They're the perfect size for tucking into a garter! You can step out for a night on the town in Bonnie and Clyde style.

You often hear that flasks make perfect presents for groomsmen. It's not exactly traditional, but with the advent of such stylish flasks, women can give them as wedding presents, too. Women loved monogrammed accessories, and most flasks can be beautifully engraved. They're especially great gifts for bachelorette parties. The maid of honor can buy the bride-to-be a personalized flask for her last horah.

Don't forget the accessories! Many flasks for women come with matching carrying cases. With their buckles and flaps, these leather cases rival any designer purse.

The Best Wine Gift Basket Is The One You Make Yourself

By Jean Bolton

With grocery stores that sell the best gourmet products at low prizes these days , you can make the best and cheapest wine gift basket yourself. By making it yourself you can include everything you know the gift receiver will like and you can make it as expensive as you want.

Find The Right Basket

Your gift always starts with a basket. And for your wine gift basket it is perfectly acceptable if you re-use a gift basket that you have received your self. You can also use an other sort of container that you already have in your home. Be creative in choosing a basket, it can be dull but you can also decorate the basket with seasonal colors and themes like yellow and pastels for spring and Christmas decorations for the holiday season or red and fluffy for Valentine's day. Or you could take a theme that resemblances the ingredients in your basket. You can also find baskets in garden or craft stores, most of them are quite inexpensive.

Select the right wine

Most grocery stores have a close-out section, this is an area where the discount bottles of wine are and wines that were not very popular. Here you can find the perfect wines for your wine gift basket. Most of the time there are excellent wines for sale some at 25% to 50% off.

When you know at forehand that you have to make a couple of wine gift baskets in the next coming months its wise to get to know the stores wine manager and find out when the full price wines get moved to the discount area. On those days be sure to visit the wine area early and get the best selection of wines for your gift basket

What kind of food can you put in your basket?

Food is the way to get creative with your wine gift basket, your imagination is the only limit to your creativity, you can add food that is focused on a theme. for instance you can create a basket around the theme appetizer, you can include crackers, cheeses, spreads and crisps and of course a white and red wine.

For an Italian dinner wine basket, you can include Italian red wine, your favorite Italian recipe and all of the ingredients like pasta, sun dried tomatoes, olives, olive oil, herbs an so on, put your creativity to it and I'm sure you can think of much more.

And for that very special person you can can make a full blown gourmet wine gift basket in which you can include everything you know the receiver likes, including chocolate, cookies, mixed nuts and lots more. And of course don't forget the wine, red, white and/or rose.

For a simple but healthy wine gift basket use a bottle of red wine and dark chocolate.

Go with the theme

You can complement your basket with utensils that will complete your theme, a pasta fork for the Italian basket, spreading knives or cheese plates for the appetizer basket. Or two to six beautiful wine glasses and a corkscrew for the simple wine gift basket. Remember your only limited by your own imagination.

Jean Bolton loves to give gifts and wine is her favorite. She shows at http://www.worldwidewinegifts.com what you can do with wine when it comes to giving.

Hip flasks - The 18th Amendment Did Some Good After All

By David T Hernandez

Hip flasks are a throw back to the roaring twenties and the hey-day of Al Capone and other prohibition rebels. We're all eternally grateful for the eventual repeal of the 18th amendment, but there's no denying the romance of a sneaky sip of outlaw moonshine. Perhaps that's why men are still enamored with hip flasks more than 90 years after the death of the Volstead Act.

Most flasks are metal, the keyword being most. Plastic hip flasks are now making the rounds. There's something to be said for a see-through flask. A quick glance at the color will remind you which type of liquor you're toting. It'll also let you know when it's time for a refill. You might worry that a plastic flask will easily crack and break - ultimately ending in a most unfortunate leak. No worries. These flasks are made from highly durable plastic.

People also turn to plastic for traveling. You pack travel-sized toothbrushes. Why not travel flasks as well? Travel hip flasks typically cost only around $5. Think of them as "throw away" flasks. The plastic is inexpensive so it's no big deal if they get lost or damaged along the way. This way, you have a flask on hand, but your favorite hip flask remains safely tucked away at home.

Sterling silver flasks are both handsome and sophisticated. Hip flasks made from this precious metal make exquisite gifts. Their beauty and quality construction makes for the kind of item you hand down from generation to generation. Sterling silver is long-lasting and won't rust. Hip flasks made from sterling silver can be polished and restored to their original beauty even after years of use.

Antique sterling silver is an especially good choice for engraved flasks. This metal has an aged look that casts shadows and gives dimension to engravings and emblems. Antique silver also gives your flask the look of a family heirloom -- even if you've only had it for a few days.

For the distinguished gentleman, the one replete with a pipe and Hugh Hefner-style silk pajamas, there are hip flasks wrapped in leather. Leather flasks are, of course, actually metal flasks that have been covered in leather.

You might be surprised to learn that leather flasks can be personalized, too. If you'd like to buy hip flasks for your groomsmen, you don't have to sacrifice personalization in order to get leather. Instead, you can buy a leather flask with a metal emblem on the front. The metal emblem is ready for engraving and makes for an eye-catching detail on a plain leather flask.

The hip flask might not be a necessity like it was for our friends in the early 1900s, but it's still an accessory you don't want to be without.

http://www.cellphoneflasks.com offers inexpensive engraved hip flasks and personalized business card cases that make great gifts for boyfriends or girlfriends.

A Vacuum Food Sealer is the Perfect Gift for Mom

By Victor Epand

Most of us have no problem buying gifts for our kids, or our best friend. We have a general idea of what they like or are into at that moment in their lives and shopping for the right present is not a big deal nor is it a painful chore. Purchasing a gift for one's mother, on the other hand, can become increasingly challenging as the years go by. Most moms will buy whatever they need, or their spouse purchases it for them. However, there is one idea dad probably will not have thought of, a vacuum food sealer with a marinating canister.

Vacuum food sealers make great gifts. Anyone, be it the occasional cook, or the food aficionado, will discover the great benefits that come with having one of these kitchen tools. The sealer has a variety of functions and is offered in numerous models. There is the essential series for the basic cook, or the professional series for those who tend to spend more time creating fancy meals in their kitchens. There even is a model for those who hunt and fish called the gamesaver pro.

Vacuum food sealer models come in different finishes and color. They can be found in cream, dark gray, and white durable plastic or in a chrome finish. Accessories available for purchase include a handheld kit, sandwich and leftover canisters, and different sizes of storage bags.

The marinating canister is a great item to add to the vacuum food sealer set. With this canister, a cook can marinate meat or vegetables in minutes instead of hours. The reason it takes less time to marinate in one of these canisters is because in a vacuum, liquids penetrate more quickly and more deeply. Instead of waiting a couple hours to grill a teriyaki steak or kabobs, one can have the steak or skewers on the table in a fraction of the time it used to take. The canister can also be placed in the microwave, so marinating vegetables can be cooked in seconds.

Any mom would be thrilled to be presented with a vacuum food sealer as a gift. Moms with large extended families will be able to prepare a meal ahead of time. For instance, if mom is hosting the family to the yearly family reunion, her job will become much easier with a vacuum food sealer. All parts of the meal, with the exception of the tossed green salad, can be prepared ahead of time.

The main course can be a stew, which is prepared months in advanced, vacuum packed and tossed in the freezer. The dough for the bread and the cookies can be kneaded, shaped into serving sizes, sealed and frozen. The fruit for the smoothies will have been bought, cleaned, diced, vacuum-sealed in plastic bags and placed in the freezer. All these items can be thawed and heated or baked on the day of the party. Fresh vegetables can be placed into a bag along with butter and spices, then sealed, without vacuuming, and heated in the microwave for a few minutes adding a delicious side dish to the meal.

A vacuum food sealer makes a wonderful gift for anyone especially those who love to cook or do not have a lot of time to prepare meals from scratch every day. Moms will be thrilled to receive one of these as a birthday or Mother's Day present. Once she has the basic vacuum and sealing unit, she will be able to add numerous accessories to it.

Victor Epand is an expert consultant for used clothing, used watches, and vacuum food sealers. When shopping for used clothing, used watches, and vacuum food sealers, shop only at the best online stores for used clothing, used watches, and vacuum food sealers for mom.

Six Reasons Why Spa Breaks Make Great Holiday Gifts

By Janette Vince

Forget about jewelry and fancy dinners. Women might appreciate those things-but what they really want after the holidays is a spa break. Here's why.

Because the holidays are stressful. If someone in your family is running herself ragged trying to keep up with all the demands of the holiday season, a spa break is an excellent gift.

Because she needs to get away. If your loved one always puts others first, it's especially important to send her to a whole new environment to truly relax. A spa break gets her out of her day-to-day routine and immerses her in a luxurious experience.

Because a holiday detox is always in order. Think about all the rich foods, alcohol, and sweet snacks we consume over the holidays. Spa facilities have many detox treatments designed to help us return to health-everything from supervised fasting to vinotherapy baths.

Because it's all about health. If she doesn't often get to the gym or stick to a diet, she may need a little professional support. During her spa break, she can talk to nutritionists and fitness specialists about developing a routine that fits with her lifestyle.

Because she thinks of others first. If she's always taking care of someone else, she may never make time for the little indulgences we all need every so often. If it's been forever since she's had a pedicure, a facial, or a really great haircut, she's definitely in need of a spa break.

Because she just might return the favor next year. You can always hope, right?

Flowers and Chocolates For Your Guy?

By Amy Nutt

Valentine's Day is when most guys get their ladies special gifts like flowers and chocolates, but what about the reverse? Should you consider giving these traditionally romantic gifts to your man? Will he actually like them?

The truth is that it really depends on the guy, but in most cases, if you choose more masculine versions of these gifts, you will find that they are very well received. Men enjoy romance as much as women, but often are overlooked when it comes to Valentine's Day. However, if you feel that your sweetheart won't be completely open to receiving flowers as a gift, you can man it up a bit to make the whole thing romantic, but masculine.

A good way to turn a practical gift into a more Valentine's Day type gift is to wrap it in roses. Take a set of wrenches, for example, and arrange them in a bouquet of roses. Just about any small gift can be given in this manner, tucked into a bouquet, or with roses neatly wrapped around it.

You may also prefer to go with flowers that are romantic but not as feminine as roses. Some good choices include tulips, which are simple and bright enough to please any man, and blooming cacti. Look for flowers that are darker in color and sturdier than the more feminine blooms. Flowers with thicker petals and stronger looks tend to be more popular with males than the delicate flowers that women enjoy.

Chocolate is almost always a big hit with anyone, male or female. Rather than purchasing a box of elegant filled chocolates, you may have better luck with something a bit more original. There are plenty of novelty chocolate shapes that allow you to give a man something special, like a chocolate sports car or a tool set made of chocolate. While romantic and delicious, this is still something masculine enough to avoid making your guy feel uncomfortable.

Taking normal romantic box of chocolates and turning them into something special for your guy isn't that difficult. Tuck some sexy handwritten coupons into the box or add some tickets to see his favorite sports team. Or, slip a silky bit of new lingerie into the chocolate box, technically it's for you, but he'll enjoy it even more. Sure to be a hit!

Other options include almond bark, hot chocolate mixes or alcohol filled chocolates and truffles. If you think he won't really enjoy chocolates in the traditional sense, you might want to contact his mom and get his favorite recipe for chocolate chip cookies. Making them just the way his mother does is sure to win you some points. Plus, nothing says I love you more than homemade cookies!

Men are romantic, though they may not show it very often. They tend to enjoy flowers and chocolates for Valentine's Day just as much as you would, especially if you put a twist on the traditional gift ideas. Don't shy away from giving your man something romantic like flowers gifts or chocolates for Valentine's Day, he'll be surprised, but love it in the end.

Parody T-Shirts That Laugh Back At The Man

By Keith King

For those of us living in the real world, inflation, the job market and paying our rent/mortgage are all daily concerns. It sometimes feels that there's no room for a good laugh in our daily lives any more. Oh but there is and who better to laugh at than The Man.

Big corporations have run this modern world for quite some time now and often have little to no sense of humor about themselves. We are bombarded with corporate images all day long through billboards, newspapers, magazines and on television. Maybe its time to fight back and have a little fun at the same time.

Parody t shirts are ammo for the average guy or gal wanting to slap back at The Man. T shirts have been around for decades now and offer a human billboard for just about anything you might want to pitch. Corporations learned that lesson long ago, but maybe its time for a new twist on an old logo.

Humorous designs have long been a staple for t shirt printers and gift buyers alike. Parody t shirts have always held a place in our hearts. Who doesn't like seeing that mega company being brought down to size with a well placed parody? Let's face it, we all do, especially if the shirt is done in good taste.

Vulgar humor is often times part of those parody t shirts, but it doesn't have to be. Good parody of your favorite institution can also be witty or just down right funny without having to cross the line of good taste. Blue humor has its place, but would you buy your mother one of those t shirts?

Parody t shirts take the designs and ideas we see the most and turn them on their head or show us a different and maybe more truthful view of the product. As gifts, t shirts top the charts every holiday season and what tourist doesn't pick up one for the kids or the friends back home during their summer vacation.

Who among us can say they don't have at least one t shirt in their closet? We all have and the reason why is that they make great gifts. They become a comfortable friend that we often hold on to long after we should have thrown them out. A parody t shirt can become our friend.

Parody t shirt makers have come a long way since the silkscreen; today with the click of a mouse you can create an original parody t shirt with dozens of online choices for the gift. Size, color, style and even the artwork can all be modified to suit your needs. Or add text of your choosing to personalize the gift even more. And who doesn't want a shirt that's truly one of a kind? With a button click you can have the finished parody t shirt shipped to you to deliver in person or sent directly to the person of your choice.

If you're looking for a great gift with a sense of humor that all can enjoy, then maybe a modern parody t shirt is what you need. Its a new twist on an old logo and best of all these high quality, totally customizable gifts are available to you from the comfort of your own computer.
