The Selfish Act Of Giving by Laura Tucker

Traditional knowledge tells us the business of gift giving and receiving is built around the old adage, "It's better to give than to receive." As a society of giving people we want to make an acknowledgment to the people in our life of what the relationship means to us, but the act isn't nearly as selfless as it seems.

At first thought giving a gift seems like a selfless act, but once you follow all the thoughts involved, it isn't really selfless after all. There is something you are hoping to gain from it, so it can't be completely selfless. You're doing it so that you will feel good about yourself. Seeing that look on the recipient's face, the immediate knowledge that they've been waiting for this gift or are truly surprised by it, is what we're waiting for. This becomes a gift to ourselves.

When I shop for a gift for someone I try to to find something that let's them know how I connect to them, a symbol of our relationship. This is something they can look back on and say, "Laura really knows me and appreciates the fact that we have this in common." Conversely, it's great to be on the other end and realize your friend or family member cares about you so much that they took the time to find this unique item that you both enjoy. It's a personalized gift that you know was bought just for you.

Often it doesn't even have to be a material gift; an act can mean all the same things. A friend recently had told me no one understood what she wanted on her birthday. She was always cooking dinner for everyone else on their birthday and was hoping someone would finally do it for her. She told her family that's what she wanted most. Yet everyone totally misread what she was looking for and took her out to dinner. While she had a nice dinner and enjoyed their company, it wasn't what she was looking for.

My friend was looking for someone to say I'm listening to what you want. She was looking for someone to put as much into a gift for her as she does for them. I wanted her to know that I was listening and that there was someone out there that truly understood her. I showed up on her doorstep the day of her birthday with a pan of mostaccioli, garlic bread, salad, salad dressing and a bottle of wine. She had told me eating my mostaccioli one time earlier that I could make it for her any time.

The joy on my friend's face was what I was looking and hoping for. She was excited, not that she didn't have to cook dinner for herself, but that someone was willing to make that effort for her. She was also now secure with the knowledge that there was someone out there that understood what she wanted and that truly listened. She told me later that she had told everyone she knew that I had done that for her. She wanted others to know that we were able to connect in that way.

I try to do this for all the gifts I give on Christmas, but the process can sometimes be daunting. We get so busy at that time of the year, and depending on how many people are on a gift list, finding a personalized gift for each person can be time-consuming. Usually some end up being very personalized, some just something I hope the person will enjoy.

But there's always that one gift. There's always that one gift every year I just can't wait until it is opened. This is the one gift I have found that I know will show that I understand and listen. Seeing the look from the recipient of acknowledgment of our relationship and of what I put into finding that particular item is all I need to make the gift worth every penny and every moment that was put into it.

Sure, I enjoy when the same is done for me. I enjoy knowing that someone understands and listens to me as well, but I don't get the same sense of accomplishment when the situation is in reverse. I don't get to pat myself on the back for a job well done. I don't get the validation.

What it comes down to is I'm looking to please myself when I give a great gift. I'm looking to say I set out to do this and accomplished it. I set out to find the perfect gift to show someone I understand and care. It is not at all selfless. I did it for myself in the end run. It is better to give than to receive, and that is because when giving, we're still receiving.

Unique birthday gift baskets and gifts to show that special someone you care.

2009-06-02T19:51:00.000-07:00

Do you regularly rush around in your lunch break, desperately seeking a birthday gift? Do you just grab the first suitable birthday card that you see, because you are so short of time? If so, then the chances are that you are spending more money than you need to on birthdays. The good news is that, with a little forward planning, you can save not only money but alsotime.

Shopping for birthdays can be time-consuming and expensive. Even if you have just one birthday a month to shop for, the cost of twelve birthdays a year can add up to a fairly substantial amount. If you have children, you will have the extra cost of buying presents and cards for all of their friends. Here are some ways of saving money, as well as time, when shopping for birthdays.

Never leave birthday gift shopping until the last minute. If you are in a rush, you will buy the first suitable gift that you see and that will often be the most expensive. You may also end up buying an individual card, gift tag and a single sheet of wrapping paper, all of which add up to a high cost.

Invest in a birthday organizer so that you will always be prepared in advance for birthdays. Look out for a special birthday organizer that has daily spaces for recording birthdays, and 12 monthly pockets for storing cards and gift tags.

If you don’t want to buy a birthday organizer, you can make your own by labeling the months of the year on a 12-pocket concertina file. Write 12 monthly lists, in date order, of people’s names and birthdays. Put each list into the relevant pocket, so that you can collect birthday cards and related items in the same pocket.

Organize your birthday shopping effectively by taking out your birthday organizer at the beginning of each month and looking at the next month to see how much more you need to organize for the birthdays that month. For example, at the beginning of January, look at the February birthdays and make a list of all outstanding items. That will give you enough time to shop around for the best deals on birthday gifts and related items.

Regularly watch for cost-effective gift items throughout the year. For example, Adorable Gift Baskets offers free ground shipping on a large selection of unique birthday gifts and birthday gifts baskets that are just perfect for birthdays. Adorable Gift Baskets also offers money-saving discount coupons throughout the year. Discount coupons coupled with the free ground shipping adds up to be a tremendous savings. You will find gift baskets for women filled with luxurious bath and body products, candles, books and more. A huge selection of unique gift baskets for men means that you will can find birthday gifts for dad, son, father, boss and every special man on your gift list. And, of course, those adorable gift baskets andgifts for children will win the hearts of all the little ones on your gift list.Gift baskets arrive beautifully wrapped and ready for gift giving. If you keep your eyes open and regularly visit Adorable Gift Baskets you are sure find great bargains and you will be surprised at just how many suitable birthday, and all occasion, gifts you will amass at a very low cost.

Shop in the January and Summer sales for gifts, cards, wrapping paper, ribbon, tags and any other items that you will need for birthday gifts during the rest of the year. Once you have brought your items home, file the cards and tags in your birthday organizer and store all of the gifts, wrapping paper and other items together in one place, so that you will always be able to find them quickly and easily when the next birthday comes around. If you wish, you can wrap and tag the birthday presents and write the cards in advance, so that when a birthday comes around, all you need to do is take out the relevant gift and card.

Buy in bulk if possible – Rolls of wrapping paper are much less expensive than single sheets. Buy several rolls of wrapping paper to suit each type of person for whom you buy birthday presents. For example, you could select one roll that would appeal to women, another for men, a third for small children and a fourth for older children. That way, you will always have an available supply of wrapping paper to suit each present that you give.

Try to buy birthday cards and gift tags in packs of ten or more. Not only will you pay a lot less than if you bought each one individually, but you will save time, as you will always have a birthday card or gift tag to hand.

If you follow these tips, then, not only will you never dash around in a mad panic looking for birthday gifts at the last minute, but you will save time and money and feel much calmer. Search for the unique gift basket gifts now.

Gift Ideas For Mother's Day

2009-04-12T22:04:00.000-07:00

Mom has served countless meals, washed thousands of dishes, kissed hundreds of "owies" and been there to hold your hand for those monumental catastrophes as well as little "molehill" disappointments.

While you may not have agreed with everything Mom did or said, you could always count on your Mother's love and care. Serve Mom royally, give your mother only the very best, and watch the delight in her eyes. If mom is far away and you cannot travel on Mother's Day, try telephoning, and let all the kids say "HI" to mom, grandmother nana or granny.

When you send mom a card, enclose a few special treats - such as pretty flowery postage stamps, a roll of elegant address labels, or a unique checkbook covered that you made by applying contact paper to a pre-existing cover, but personalizing it as only you could.

If mom is in a care facility, make it a top priority to visit. Bring gifts that she will enjoy and treasure: hairpins or combs that you have hot-glued birthstones of each of her children or grandchildren; picture frames a collage of small photos, teddy bears, small boxes to hold "special" mom things, lap quilts, or personal items in a carrying case you made just for her. Store bought items are nice, but hand-made are exceptionally endearing and comforting to hold and admire time after time.

Unique Mother's Day Gift for Mom; How to Create A Memory Book For Mothers

2009-04-12T20:02:00.000-07:00

To Mother With Love - How To Create Memory Gift Book For Mom

As Mother's Day approached and I stumbled to find the perfect gift to give this remarkable woman who gives so much of herself, without any thought of something in return, and I remembered once more the little things and created a book of memories for Mom on Mother's Day.

Once I became a Mother I started to notice all the little things I do for my babies that go un-noticed. Like making sure there are enough diapers for the next day, or that baby's favorite toy is beside him so he'll see it the minute he wakes up, or that we always have a supply of his favorite food in the house. Little things just like that. This made me consider all the things that my Mother did for me as I was growing up and I wondered how many of them she thought were forgotten or un-noticed acts of love.

The instructions for creating this incredible Mother's Day gift are simple, but it takes thought and a little time to get it all down, and that’s what makes it special to Mothers – for what better gift can anyone give to a Mother, but the gift of their time? For the record, my Mother loves this tiny book and told me that she often takes it out and reads it – for not only does she see that I have remembered all these little things – but each one of them brings back a special memory for her, a memory of a little girl who grew to be a Mother who didn't forget.

To create your Mother's Day To Mother –With Love gift book, you need:

A tiny little notebook – one with pages just a couple of inches high and wide. You’ll be placing one sentence about your mother per page so small and neat looking works well. Be sure to pick a book with a pretty cover.

Gel pens in assorted colors to write your Mother's Day notes

Your computer or a jotter pad for making your list of special memories

Some tissue paper and a thin piece of pretty ribbon.

Instructions:

Count the number of pages in the little notebook. Decide if you will write a special memory of your mother on one side or both.

On the computer or in the jotter pad, make a list of all the things you remember your Mother doing for you over the years. Even if it seems inconsequential – remember it’s the little things that we think get forgotten or un-noticed. Add in birthdays, Christmas, holidays, illnesses, special treats and surprises – things long since buried beneath the minutiae of everyday living. Dig them all out and note them one by one.

Count them. If you haven’t included enough – dig deeper into your memory of mom! If you have more than enough – are there some that are related and can double up, otherwise you'll have a tough decision to let some of them go.

Once you have the right amount, put them into some sort of order – or not – depending on your preference.

Choose a quiet time and start writing. Alternate the color of pen ink so that each memory is in a different color to the one before and after it – so that it stands out. Remember one special memory of mom per page.

Finally write To Mother – With Love on the inside cover with your personal dedication to and message of thanks to your Mother, and the date.

Wrap in the tissue paper and tie a beautiful ribbon around it.

There you are! Your Mother's Day gift is finished. A simple gift of memories from the heart; a Mother's Day gift for your Mother to cherish.

MICHIGAN GIFT BASKETS, MI Gifts, Flowers, Balloons, Fruit, Gourmet Food, Presents Delivered

Michigan Facts and Trivia

It’s not Michigan’s style to be loud and shout out for attention, “Look at my trivia! Check out my facts!” which may be the reason some interesting information on the Wolverine State goes unknown—until now. By the way, X-men fans will be disappointed to learn that there are no wolverines in the Wolverine State.

Michigan is the only state made up of two peninsulas. If you haven’t noticed, the Lower Peninsula looks very much like an oven mitten. In 1669 Father Marquette founded a mission at Sault Ste. Marie, which is the now the third oldest remaining settlement in the US. To get to this settlement you will have to get over your bridge phobia by driving over one of the longest suspension bridges in the world. Michigan’s upper and lower peninsulas are connected by the Mackinac Bridge, which extends five miles over the Straits of Mackinac.

After Father Marquette founded Sault Ste. Marie, present day Detroit was founded in 1701 by a fur trader named Cadillac. Today Detroit has many names. It is called “Motor City” because it is the automobile center of the world, but it is also called “Motown” for being the birthplace of Motown Records. Among the lungs we worship from Detroit are: Aretha Franklin, Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, The Temptations and Four Tops. All were Motown artists. Other celebrities born and bred in Detroit include Francis Ford Coppola, Sonny Bono, Bob Seger, Ted Nuggent, Aaliyah, The Romantics, Alice Cooper, and The White Stripes to name a few. Aviator Charles Lindbergh, comedians Gilda Radner and Tim Allen, legend Charlton Heston, and actor Tom Selleck were also born in Detroit. Rapper Eminem was raised in the Detroit area. The late Rosa Parks, a symbol of the civil rights movement, lived in Detroit until her recent death in 2005.

Born elsewhere in Michigan were Henry Ford, Madonna, Kid Rock, Michael Moore, and Serena Williams. America’s 38th President, Gerald R. Ford grew up in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

If you are traveling down the Indian River and see the 55-foot Crucifix in the Woods, the second largest crucifix in the world, don’t be startled, it is meant to be there.

Battle Creek is the cereal capital of the world and known as Cereal City ever since the oft-battling Kellogg brothers invented the corn flake—yes, they are great. Besides corn flakes, Jason Newsted of Metallica grew up in Cereal City.

Fremont, home to Gerber, is the baby food capital of the world (see, and you thought the capital of the world was in your pantry.) Each year in July they host the national baby food festival where kids from all over the country gather round and throw pureed peas and corn at their mothers.

If you ever wondered where the world’s largest manufacturer of magic supplies was located, the answer would be Colon, Michigan.

Remember this one because it is the kind of question that comes up in trivia games. What state has the longest freshwater shoreline in the world? Yes, that would be Michigan. What is the only state that has more shoreline than Michigan? Darn that Alaska! Is Michigan the only state that touches four of the give Great Lakes? You get your lighthouse it is. Lake Ontario is the only one it does not touch.

The state fossil is the mastodon. Mastodons could be 16-feet longer or more and nine-feet taller or more. What a fossil

Kalamazoo is home to Gibson Guitar. This is also the birthplace of The Yankee’s Derek Jeter.

In November, 2005 Holland, Michigan became home to the largest pumpkin pie ever made.

Michigan has a rich history from the Native Americans to the French with many inventors, adventures an artists calling Michigan home. It is home to Motown and Motor and so it is fitting to end by saying that Michigan not only rocks, but it rolls as well. Go Michigan!

A Thrilling Tour of Brooklyn, New York

Whether it's to bike or walk over the beautiful Brooklyn Bridge or to visit Coney Island for a delicious hot dog, tourists love stopping by Brooklyn, New York! It's a great place to live or visit with its nice neighborhoods and rich history.

Brooklyn is located on the East River just across from Manhattan. It is a borough in Kings County, one of five counties in New York City. Brooklyn got its name from a Dutch settlement named Breukelen, meaning "broken land." Brooklyn's estimated population was 2,465,326 as of 2000. It is located near the cities of Woodside (NY), Ridgewood (NY), New York (NY), Maspeth (NY) and Long Island City (NY).

Looking Back through Brooklyn History

Brooklyn was first settled by the Dutch in the early 1600s. They settled on the western edge of Long Island. Breuckelen was part of New Netherland until the Dutch lost it to the British in 1664. Then in 1683, the Province of New York was reorganized by the British, and 12 counties were formed. One of those counties was Kings County. Brooklyn was in Kings County as one of the first six towns.

In 1776, the Battle of Brooklyn was fought in Brooklyn, which was the first major battle for the American Revolutionary War after the Declaration of Independence. In 1783, New York (with Brooklyn included) gained independence by the Treaty of Paris. Brooklyn began to grow into a well-organized town from that point.

The first Brooklyn library was built by General Lafayette in 1825. It was located on Cranberry Street. In 1883, the Brooklyn Bridge opened as cannons boomed and steamers whistled! It was the longest suspension bridge of its day in the world. During the 1920s, Brooklyn became known for crime, with notorious gangsters like Luck Luciano, Albert Anastasia and Meyer Lansky beginning their illegal careers there.

Today, Brooklyn has become a magnet for art lovers and business people alike. Beautiful neighborhoods such as Brooklyn Heights have attracted people from all over.

Brooklyn Attractions

Brooklyn is a great place to visit for history buffs, families and anyone who wants to get away. Those who like history will enjoy visiting the historic sites and museums that bring New York and Brooklyn history to life. The Brooklyn Historical Society is a museum combined with a library and educational center, and offers works of art and historical documents about Brooklyn's society then and now.

The Brooklyn Museum of Art is the second-largest in New York, and has a vast collection of artwork from ancient Egypt and many cultures around the world. Those who are interested in transit history are sure to love the New York Transit Museum in Brooklyn.

Family Fun in Brooklyn

Families can visit the Brooklyn Children's Museum and explore more than 20,000 artifacts and specimens. Live plants and animals always intrigue the kids. They can also have a blast at the Astroland Amusement Park (http://www.astroland.com/), the largest amusement park in New York City. It features Dante's Inferno, Water Flume, Astrotower and many other great thrills!

For those who enjoy gazing at the towering New York skyline, the Brooklyn Heights Promenade offers a magnificent view of the Brooklyn Bridge and the Manhattan skyline. Or, tourists can spend a day at Prospect Park. Within the park is a zoo, museum and an Audubon center.

Visitors to Brooklyn will also find much to do. There's non-stop activity with horseback riding, golfing, jogging, wildlife, rock climbing, hiking, ice skating, biking and walking, and much more! Brooklyn has much to offer any time of the year.

Easter Baskets, Chocolate Bunnies and Colored Eggs

2009-02-19T20:19:00.000-08:00

Easter is a time of joy and happiness, and most of us get together with family and friends to celebrate and rejoice, search for dyed eggs, cook traditional Easter dinners, and have fun in the presence of loved ones.

Easter falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the Spring Equinox.

Origins of Easter

The holiday known as Easter is when Christians celebrate the rising of Jesus Christ from the grave. It celebrates the story of how Jesus Christ took on the sins of the world, and gave his life for those that are willing to accept the gift of eternal life. Although it is the story of how Jesus died on the cross, the Easter story isn't just about his death.

It is about how Jesus promised that he would rise again on the third day to show the world that he paid the price for their sins, and ascend to heaven. His purpose was to die and rise again, thereby absolving believers of their sins.

Many people are unaware of the fact that Easter is a combination of both Christian and pagan beliefs. Tradition has it, that Eostre, the goddess of Spring was accompanied by a hare. During Springtime, many animals give birth, and rabbits are the most fertile animals known.

Since spring is a celebration of rebirth and new life, pagan families used to tell their children that a magic hare would come deliver gifts to them on this special day. The "magic hare" would deliver secret gifts symbolic of new life, like hand painted eggs.

In Germany children would put nests of grass in their yard, believing that the Easter bunny would drop off colorful eggs and candy in their "baskets." The origin of the Easter bunny in America began as German settlers moved here and brought their traditions with them.

Whether you're Christian or not, Easter is when family gets together. That's what it should be about. For most people, Easter is a time for children to hunt for brightly colored eggs and baskets full of candy, for going to church in elaborate Easter bonnets, and for eating a traditional meal.

What to Do on Easter?

The Easter Parade is an annual event held in the New York City, which ends in front of the St. Patrick's Cathedral, where most people attending the Easter Parade will attend the services held that day.

At the parade, you will be able to admire different types of costumes and the beautiful Easter Bonnets, which is in fact the attraction of that day. You can also enjoy different types of Easter dishes made especially for the parade festivities.

For over a hundred years, children have gathered on the South Lawn of the White House on the Monday after Easter to roll Easter eggs across the yard and meet the Easter Bunny. Local artists created the decorated eggs for the Easter 2006 egg roll, which represented each state and the District of Columbia.

The Easter 2006 egg collection continues the tradition that began in 1994, where each state sends a decorated egg to the White House for display. The collection is coordinated by the American Egg Board, and each egg is truly astounding in its decoration!

Colored Eggs and Easter Egg Hunts

One of the most well known pastimes of Easter is the painting of Easter eggs. To color eggs you can hard boil them, or blow out the eggs using a needle to poke a small hole in the narrow end of the egg, and then add a slightly larger hole in the other end.

Then, holding the egg over a bowl, blow through the small hole, and the egg will be forced out the larger hole and into the bowl. Just rinse with cold water and dye. In bowls, combine food coloring and water with a teaspoon of vinegar, or buy an Easter egg decorating kit that comes complete with everything you need to decorate Easter eggs.

When it comes to Easter for kids, no Easter is complete without an Easter egg hunt. You can hide the eggs in the house or in the yard and let the kids to go look for them. You want to hide the eggs where the kids can find them, but you don't want to make it too easy.

Another alternative for the Easter egg hunt is to use plastic eggs. You can fill the eggs with candy, money, trinkets, toys, or whatever else you choose. The beauty of having the plastic eggs is that the kids never know what they're going to find in their eggs on their Easter egg hunt.

If you have a house full of adult guests, try this variation: Use the same little plastic eggs scattered all over the yard, only each of the eggs will contain a small piece of paper with a number. The numbers match numbered presents waiting nearby.

Easter, just like any other festivity, is a time of joy and celebrations where sharing and giving is on the top of the list. Getting together on Easter, celebrating, laughing, and having fun makes for a very happy Easter.

Mother's Day Gift Baskets and Unique Gift Ideas for Mom

2009-02-15T09:39:00.000-08:00

The Importance of Moms and Mothers
Hey, Mom you can be a homemaker or work outside the home and still be a great Mother.

Moms, did you ever question your value as a role model, caretaker, administer of hugs and Band-Aids?

I think we all have in today's climate of "do more, get more, have more." Many of us work to bring home a paycheck and others work for our sanity. Have you ever wondered if your children were better off with the baby sitter than you?

Scientific studies are beginning to point to the overwhelming value of a mother's love, hugs and support. Nannies, baby-sitters and relatives are terrific. They just aren't as terrific as Mom. Mother's Day Flowers

I have had the best of both worlds, I suspect. I worked a high-powered executive job until my older daughter was two and a half. At a crossroads in my career, I opted to "get pregnant and stay home for a year." Little did I realize I was about to take a ten-year hiatus from my much-loved life.

I didn't get pregnant right away, but, after having spent a year basking in the glow of being Mom, I couldn't bear giving up the care and nurturing of my daughter to another nanny, no matter how wonderful. I think it was the best career move of my life.

Ten years later, I am back in the work force and thriving. Yes, I felt bored much of the time. Yes, our family sacrificed the bigger house, fancier cars and vacations some of our peers were enjoying. But it was a conscious decision to sacrifice for the benefit of our children. We wanted our morals, our ethics and our life lessons to influence them.

I think moms can work at home, be homemakers or work outside of the home and still be great moms. The most important part of mothering is being there for our children. Maybe your sacrifice is going to work but spending your precious little free time reading your child a bedtime story every night, taking him to the park on Saturdays or chaperoning your daughter's school dance. What matters is our input, the confidence in our roles as mothers, knowing we are the best person for the role and to understand how valuable we are to society.

Pat yourselves on the backs, moms ... you've accomplished a miracle! There is no greater sacrifice on earth, in my opinion, than making the decision to be a parent. Know how important you are. Know that your children need you to be as solid an individual as you can be. Therein lies your strength as a mother, whether you spend the day at home or in an office. We are all exceptional women in our motherhood.
