Picking out ther perfect Pub Gift for the host

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

It’s only good manners to bring something when you are a guest in somebody’s home. Most people enjoy entertaining & pub gifts. Manners and good breeding aside though , purchasing that present, particularly if you do not know your host very well, can be frightening. These are some tips to bear in mind to give a gift which will finish up in use, not in the back of a dark cupboard. Purchase Something Your Host Wants or Will Like. Believe it or not, most people out there buy others things they desire themselves. We are all guilty of it. If I need to purchase a gift for someone that isn’t a book lover, I panic.

Whether you’ve met them only a couple of times, or never before, there are a few items you can depend on in a pinch. If your host entertains frequently serving trays are always greatly appreciated. Wine is another old standby, but before you suspect you are saved and run out to the spirits store, check to ensure your host drinks. The very last thing you want is to hand a recovering alcoholic a bottle of wine. If you already know your host sometimes indulges, but are not sure what sort of wine they like, think about your favorites, or even some personalized wine gifts for a really special touch. Telling your host that you bought your all time favorite wine for them is a touching gesture, irrespective of whether or not they like that particular vintage.

If you have even the tiniest bit of creativity within you, consider making a basket. Fill the basket with your fave bath products, some wine, a candle, or anything more you can come up with! If you live in a wet climate, even a compact umbrella will be a unique addition to the basket! If you are not creative yourself, hire a basket consultant or purchase a pre-made basket from your local dept or drug store.

Winning the Game

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

My 10 year old daughter played basketball this year for the first time. In fact, it was the first time most of the girls on her team had played. Needless to say, the year started out a bit rough. The big concern was what their uniforms would look like, and how hard it was to remember to take off their jewelry. To make it worse, most of the teams they played had a few years experience palying the game.

Their first game left them completely confused. whent he referee blew his whistle, they had no idea why, nor what to do next. They expected their opponent to stay in one place, and were completely surprised when they moved to get the ball.

After that first game, my daughter took practice more seriously. She even watched a couple of games on TV with her dad to get a better feel for the game. Earlier in the season, they played one of the best teams in the league, and they lost 34 to 0. They ended up playing that very same team for their last game. A determination emerged from our girls that we had not seen before. They played their hearts out. They lost, but only 14 to 5. They could not have been more pleased with themselves if they had won the championship. That’s the way to “win the game”.

Today is my Birthday

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

Today is my birthday, and I’m 39 years old. Really and truly, I’m 39! (These birthdays that end in a “9″ always make one sound likea liar.) Yes, I’m graying, finding more of those fine wrinkles, and it’s getting harder and harder to keep my waistline, but I’m pretty happy with 39. I may no longer be able to pass for a woman in her 20′s, but on the other hand, no one can call me young and green.

What does one get for her 39th birthday? Well, I have received an odd conglomeration of delightful gifts. My mother, always the practical one, gave me a saucepan (which I really needed) and some wine goblets to replace the ones that have been broken over the past few years. My husband and kids gave me some exercise pants to go along with my new exercise routine (remember that waistline?) and some gourmet chocolates. Yes, I know it’s a bit contradictory, but I love both gifts just the same! I also received a pair of earrings from a friend which was a very unexpected gift. But what girl doesn’t love getting jewelry!

More than that, I’m just thankful for my good health and wonderful family. And, of course, I’m thankful for one more year in the 30′s. I’m off to celebrate. No, I’m not going out to party – that’s what 29′s do. I’m going for a pedicure and some quiet moments with a good book. Someone please convince me I’m not getting “old”!
