What is the greatest gift you’ve ever received? I don’t know if I could name just one, but I do remember being about 10 years old and receiving my very first camera, a Kodak. This was, in my mind, the most extravagant gift and I was overwhelmed by it. I felt just like the boy in “A Christmas Story” when he found that he had indeed received his wish from Santa, his Red Rider BB gun.
Of course, it’s one thing to receive gifts as a child, I think we’re so much easier to please when we’re young. As an adult, we tend to purchase for ourselves the things that we really want. At least that’s the case in our family. It does make it difficult to buy gifts for each other. As an adult, I’d have to say my daughter was the best gift I’ve ever been given!
If you’re looking for something very unique and special to give to a loved one this holiday, think about this. The C’Elle collection kit allows a woman to collect life-saving stem cells found in her own menstrual blood and then have these stem cells stored for future use. These very stem cells have shown the ability to differentiate into other cell types such as heart muscle, cartilage, nerve and bone stem cells which means they can be used in the future to treat major diseases like diabetes, heart disease, stroke, MS, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s in herself and possibly immediate blood relatives. This gift is an investment in the future of the health care of that woman and her family. Just for speaking to a C’Elle representative now, you can receive a free gift. So, if you’re still looking for that special gift to give to your loved one, consider contacting C’Elle.
Think about it, what’s the most memorable gift you’ve ever received?
I saw the gadget segment on the Today show this morning and they had a little key fob that connected one end to your luggage handle and the other end you kept with it. Then, when you went to find your luggage at the airport, you hit the button and your suitcase would supposedly beep at you. That’s assuming you could hear it in all the noise of the airport luggage area!
Tonight I saw a much better idea for luggage identification. While reading the The Best of DIY, I saw a post about a Luggage Handle ID Wrap. This is a wrap that you can make yourself out of your favorite brightly colored fabric, wrap it around the handle of your suitcase and then you can easily tell which suitcase is yours at aglance. You can even find the tutorial for this handy luggage handle at Turkey Cookies. This is so simple and such a great idea!
My husband and daughter both have the week of from work and school. It’s so nice to have time to be together and just relax, no plans. The only shopping I need to do is at the grocery store and so, hopefully, I’ll be able to avoid the crowds. One of our favorite things to do when we’re at home together is to watch movies. This is such a great time of year for watching all the old classic holiday movies that we love. Just the other night we sat together and watched Cary Grant in The Bishop’s Wife while we ate warm apple pie with ice cream that my husband had picked up while running errands. It was such a great way to spend the evening.
Of course, we also like adding to our movie viewing by watching some of the more recent movies and one that has come to my attention is All Roads Lead Home The Movie, inspired by a true story. It’s a great family movie that shows how a family deals with tragedy. This movie is coming out on DVD on January 13 and is available now for pre-order. This is definitely the kind of movie you can watch with the kids and a giant bowl of popcorn and I’m sure we’ll be adding it to our DVD collection.
Feel free to watch this trailer and I’m sure you’ll then be wanting to add it to your collection too.
