How To Say "Thank You" For a Gift!

All of us love to receive gifts, but very few know how to say a nice "thank you", and express your gratitude for the gift received! A little expression of your joy or a sweet "thank you" note, makes an everlasting impression on the person who gifts you something with love. Here's a nice video that I found, that'll guide you for this simple gesture of appreciation:

Unique Gifts For Your Ex-Friend

Lets now try out some unique gift ideas for your former friend. We all love to surprise our friends, don't we? Especially if they are former friends, we try our best to make a different impression altogether.

Here are some really unique birthday gift ideas for your one-time friend:

* There are not a single person who is not fascinated by flowers! You can create a huge impact on your friend, if you wrap a beautiful flower bouquet for your friend, prepared with fresh fllowers according to your friend's birth month. For example, if your friend's birthday is in July, then gifting a bouquet of larkspur or water lilies would be a good idea; for August, gift your friend with a bouquet of gladiolas or poppy.

* Similarly, you can pick a beautiful piece of jewelery for your friend, crafted from the birthstone of your friend. For your July born friend, gift pendants or rings studded with ruby; for someone born in August, peridot necklaces or pendants would be just perfect!

* If your friend loves plants and gardening, gift him with potted plants that can be kept indoors. Gardening kits are also great, complete with monogrammed gloves, gardening belt and tools for gardening. Another unique gardening gift would be stepping stones available in varied shapes and sizes, that won't be destroyed by rain, or children jumping on 'em!

* Gourmet gift baskets made from a variety of products would be absolutely unique birthday gifts for your friend. Choose from bath products, soaps, scented candles, monogrammed soaps and candles, monogrammed wine glasses, feng shui gifts, or chocolates, to please your friend
on his or her birthday.

Some more fabulous gift ideas for birthday!

Surprisingly, it even works for diaper rash! Don’t ask how I found out.
Seriously though, bacon salt has quickly made it on to about 7 out of 10 dishes in our household.
I recommend BS and Eggs.

Bacon Salt is the real deal. Seriously. I had the opportunity to attend the prototype BBQ, and not only did it eliminate any skepticism…it flat out KICKED ASS. Get ready to tighten your belts, ’cause when this hits the market, you will never need to buy bacon again…EVERYTHING TASTES BETTER WITH BACON SALT!!!

Bacon Salt is the single greatest invention of the millenium. Dissolving salty bacony goodness on Eggs, Meat, popcorn, rice, and my personal favorite Potatoes (baked, mashed, fried, hash browns, potato salad etc.). I have three bottles in my kitchen (original, hickory and peppered) and even carry a stach in my car. You need to try this stuff!

I think the only thing that could possibly make this T-shirt any better was if it was scratch-and-sniff. Everything should taste like bacon right!?! Well men like bacon and we all know they like boobs…. I think it would be marketing GENIUS to combine the two. I would however avoiding making thongs.

No BS here… this stuff is incredible. I really think I’m addicted to the flavor. I went as far as to Bacon Salt a Coors Light and it was great, not for everyone but, I loved it. Vegatables, eggs and any potatoe product is a no brainer. The funnest part is being in your kitchen and thinking of all the things you want to try it on or in. When this stuff hits the shelf on 7/15/07, I’d go stock up. No summer meal is complete without it!

Some more gift ideas to come in my next!

Birthday Gifts For Your Ex-Friend Part-1

You have to be judicious when you select birthday gifts for somebody, who was your friend in the past. You just cannot afford to go overboard and flood them with gifts. You need to understand the state of mind of your former friend. In the first place, ask how this friend is doing and try to strike a smooth conversation. After you have built a rapport, think of what gifts you might wanna give.

Try recollecting the old days; think what he or she liked the most. For example, if your former friend took a keen interest in movies, or sports, think of buying a gift that he would probably like. If unsure, you can always buy a good book, which would be a nice memento. Remember, there is no better gift to a friend, than unconditional love and loyalty. Be sure to be warm and hospitable to your one time friend. That's the best gift!

Friendship Gifts -- What To Look For !!

A friend is a special person with whom we share our laughter, joy, love, sadness and other secrets of life. Gifts for such persons should be special as well -- especially when it again comes to a special day like his or her birthday. There will be endless ideas of gifts, some of which have already been discussed. But this piece is about what actually do you need to look for while purchasing a gift for your friends.

What you need to look for, while purchasing a gift for your friend is his or her taste, primarily. If your friend is a book lover, surprise him or her with a unique friendship book and not an assortment of cookies.

Then you should look for choice. If you are planning to reach out to your friend with an elegant gift like a vase, you need judge whether your friend will love a traditional vase crafted out of brass or would prefer a crystal vase.

General Bird Feeder Info

Bird feeders come in just about any shape and size you can possibly imagine, and make a great gift for just about any bird lover. Avoid small, plastic versions in dollar stores and discount stores that may only cost you a few dollars.

Bird feeders come in all colors and designs, and some are made just for a particular kind of bird. Many bird lovers would love a hummingbird feeder, which holds a sugary liquid instead of seeds.

If you are the handy type, go ahead and build one. You may want to see what is on store shelves or look online for inspiration. Be sure that you don’t use any toxic materials when building.
