Make This a Green Christmas

  • Posted on January 24, 2010 at 1:28 pm


The song says “I’m dreaming of a White Christmas” but we need to make this a Green Christmas this year. We need to keep in mind the need to have an eco-friendly Christmas to help our planet. This quote appeared in Time magazine, “Don’t blow it – good planets are hard to find. ”
So what does it take to have a Green Christmas? The good news is going green is very simple especially if you start with the things you can do something about. We cannot do anything about the Copenhagen Climate Treaty going on now. If you want to know more, go to www. cleanskies. com or do a computer search for Copenhagen Climate Treaty. We can do things like reuse wrapping paper or bows. As presents are unwrapped this year, you can save the paper and the bows for next year. You can take the Christmas cards you get and cut off the front cover and then paste them on the presents next year. It recycles the card and is an attractive way to wrap a present. You can even write your To and From on the face of the card.
Another idea is to be sure and recycle your Christmas tree this year. Don’t just throw it out for the garbage truck to pickup and take to a landfill. Find out how and where your community recycles the trees and do that. It does not take that much time and it is a small thing that really helps.
If you have old ornaments, lights, artificial trees, or anything else you don’t want to use for decorating this year, call up Good Will, Habitat for Humanity (If they have resale stores in your area), or other organizations like that to see if they resell them. Again, these items do not go into landfills, other people can buy Christmas decorations for less, and the charity uses the money for their projects. This is a win, win, win situation but please, don’t be a Scrooge and send them your broken stuff!
You can also buy green products as gifts. No, don’t buy green cleaners, but many stores and online sites have very nice Christmas decorations or other items that make great gifts and that are also good for the environment. These might be bamboo clothing, organic towels and sheets, wallets, purses, and bags, and yoga equipment or clothing. There is so much to choose from it is impossible to list them all here. Right now, most online merchants are offering free shipping or other discounts for you to buy online. Go to Products for a Green World/Personal Care for information about these gift ideas.
What about giving green gifts for pets? Yes, there are many great gifts for pets that are eco-friendly. This can be a good time of year to check into other ways of caring for a pet like pet insurance and/or medication. You can buy the same medicines online as you can in stores and if you are not able to travel or there are not pet stores in your community, the online store can be just what you need. Go to Products for a Green World/Pet Supplies for information about all of these ideas for pets.

Top Selling Christmas Gifts for Women

  • Posted on January 23, 2010 at 1:13 pm


The list of top selling Christmas gifts doesn’t really vary much from year to year, and yet, every year it’s the same old story: Suddenly its Christmas time and we are racing around desperate to find last minute Christmas gifts. This year, be kind to yourself. Get in early, make a list and buy a few presents whenever you can. Use the ideas in this article to help you along. Whether you are seeking out unique Christmas gifts or want to stick to the top 10 Christmas gifts, it’s best to spend some time thinking about the woman you are buying for. The worst Christmas gifts are those that have been bought with no thought or consideration to the person you are guying for. It doesn’t matter how expensive it is, if it’s <b>not</b> something the woman you are buying for likes, then it is worthless. Does she have a hobby? Is she sporty, homey or career oriented? Does she keep up with the fashions? Does she always put everyone else first? Here are my top tips, in no particular order: 1. Lingerie: – Look for well made classy items. Choose something well designed and elegant. Something that will make her feel feminine dressed in her power suit or overalls, something she can wear anytime. The best Christmas gifts are ones that can be used, not kept for special occasions. 2. Perfume: – Perfume is always in the top 10 Christmas gifts. Fragrance can effect our emotions and attitude and no woman should have to face the world without it. Buy a gift set of mini bottles if you aren’t certain what she likes. 3. Day Spa: – Most women love the idea of having an hour, a few hours or … any time focused ONLY on them. Vouchers for a Day Spa always make great Christmas gift ideas. She could have a massage, a facial, body treatment, or whatever else makes her feel special. 4. Jewelry: – Before you go off saying that your wife or girlfriend already has heaps of jewelry, just stop a moment. Does she really? Many women will spend money on costume or fashion jewelry, but never buy themselves pieces of real quality. That job is up to you. Look for classic pieces like tennis bracelets, fine chains with heart shaped pendants, or elegant hoop earrings. 5.  Electronic Goodies: – Whoever said women don’t like gadgets? Popular gift ideas are things like digital photo frames, mobile phones, iPods, digital cameras, navigational systems, or lap top computers. 6. Kitchen Equipment: – It seems like only yesterday that giving a woman a kitchen appliance for Christmas would have resulted in divorce. Now, everyone wants to get back to the kitchen. We’re all into gourmet, home cooked experiences using top of the range utensils and authentic ingredients. Cookbooks by celebrity chefs, restaurant quality cooking gear, funky gadgets and gourmet ingredients all make great Christmas gift ideas. 7. Chocolates: – Do you give her chocolates every year? Well this year you’re going to give her chocolates she won’t forget. Sign her up for a Chocolate of the Month Club so she gets to enjoy a taste of gourmet, handmade chocolates for the whole year! 8. Handbag: – If your wife or girlfriend has one of those handbags that look like an emergency survival kit designed to see a family of 8 through a nuclear holocaust, then you may hesitate before buying her a sleek designer bag. Just remember, inside every fat bag there is a skinny bag crying to be let out.  She’ll thank you for it. 9. Art or Ornaments: – Women love to decorate their homes to create an inviting space. Look for something that will suit her current décor. If she has loads of knick knacks and country style furniture, then choose a painting or print of a landscape in a wooden frame. If she favors modern furniture and clear surfaces, then go for a modern abstract. Ornaments also need to suit and lift what she already has. Go for hand blown glass, hand carved wood or top quality porcelain. 10. Stationery: – Personally, I believe you can never have too much stationery. No woman should be without a beautiful set of notepads, diary, and folders. To make your gift truly special, add a good quality pen that you have had engraved with her name or a message that she will treasure. The list of top ten Christmas presents never fail to please women. You know the woman you are buying for, so you can judge which items are most likely to please her. Stick to the tried and true list of top selling Christmas gifts for women and stop stressing over what presents to buy.  Now don’t be fooled into thinking you have heaps of time to shop, remember, Christmas is coming

The Tips for Christmas Celebration

  • Posted on January 16, 2010 at 1:02 pm


Christmas is coming! The holidays are just around the corner and we have got some ideas and tips for Christmas decorations to create memorable family moments.

Between cooking and cleaning, setting the stage for celebrations can be an overwhelming task. These easy Christmas decorating ideas and tips will help you provide a festive environment for a winter holiday you will always remember.

First things first, set a holiday atmosphere. Holiday decorations and scents are essential to setting the mood for a festive Christmas get-together. Weave some garland or check out your local craft and hobby store for some wicker baskets and make your own colorful centerpiece. Find at least one decoration that will stand the test of time. It will have to be durable and be stored properly. On the bottom, write the date it was first used. Your family will get used to this particular decoration and as the years go by; it will become a conversation piece that will bring back many Christmas memories.

The second that we will do is decorating a Christmas tree. Every family has a routine for trimming their tree. Whether it’s adorned with treasured ornaments, or a trendy flocked tree, it’s where the presents are parked. If you want to keep your traditional Christmas tree, but enjoy the new fiber optic designs, consider getting a smaller, tabletop version. This way you’ll have the best of both worlds.

The third thing that you will do is decorating your Christmas table. Your table decor will look inviting with a cloth or linen tablecloth. They are readily available in Christmas season patterns with bright, holiday colors. Often you can find matching napkins to complete the look. They are more appropriate on a smaller table for children to reduce stains.

The most popular centerpiece choice is a fresh fruit basket — with good reason. This will serve two purposes. The brilliance of the basket itself brings natural beauty and color to your table, and the fruit makes a nutritional snack that will compliment any meal. That is why they make such a popular gift. If a fruit basket isn’t your choice, display a bouquet or basket of fresh flowers on your table to compliment your tablecloth and add color. Silk flowers and poinsettias are gorgeous and can be used year after year.

At last, take all of your favorite old Christmas cards, cut them up and organize them into a collage. Secure them together with glue. After this is done, cut them into an oval shape and laminate them to make some unique, beautiful placemats. Candles supply beauty, a delicate scent, and an overall homey feeling. There are some seasonal candles available specifically for winter and Christmas holidays. Choose adorned candleholders and jars or decorate your own with beads.
