4 Unique Gift Ideas

I couldn’t help but laugh when I read this post over at The Bad Gift Emporium:

Yep, my mother bought me a goldfish for Christmas, but instead of putting it in a bowl, she left it in the bag overnight. Imagine my surprise when I unwrapped an odd-shaped box to find a dead fish! What a Christmas to remember!

I’m not sure if it’s really funny or it’s way too sad. I guess I figure I’d stay away from giving fishes in boxes for gifts.

Actually I’m more of a personalized gift giver. That’s why I tend to do a lot of shopping over at Eye Candy Gift. What I really like aside from the great selection is the low prices they have. Right now in this terrible economy they are running a BOGO 25% off sale which applies to their already discounted prices.

And if you are getting married, be sure to check out their wedding supplies over in The Wedding Shop at Eye Candy Gift. You’ll find just about everything but the groom for sale there.

Teachers add such a lot to our lives and guide our kids with special attention. It is usually good to give an appreciation of their thoughtfulness and caring. But what gift would be suitable and not overwhelm the teacher? Here are some present ideas.

First, fill a basket with things they are going to need and use all year like pens and highlighters. Another ideas is to make a contribution to the local zoo or library in your teacher’s name. Put the donation card in with a note expressing your appreciation.

Teachers tend to be avid readers. Get a gift voucher or card at your local book store and enclose it in a note of your appreciation of their help.

Find a sack bag with apples, pears and other super fresh fruits. Have your child draw a design in it. Otherwise consider that, Teachers regularly burn the midnight candle as they read reports and grade papers. Fill a basket with bags of munchies like peanuts, chips, popcorn.
