The gift of FREE Energy!

It's official! I'm taking a bloggers break. Yes, it's been a long time coming I've decided to take a break from blogging! I wanted to let my readers know that it's been fun and exciting for me to join the blogger world for a bit. It's been almost a year and I think we had a good run! I still love to give gifts and share gifting ideas but I've recently joined a business and am now a WAHM.

Check out the business opportunity

I like the fact that I can work from home and can make my own hours. It's a good feeling to get checks in the mail each week! And have more time and energy to spend with the people I love doing the things I love to do.

Hello Summer!

With the real heat hitting NYC this week we are actually feeling the first days of summer!

I love summer and all the fun that comes with it! (Ok, humidity not so much!) But I do enjoy the longer days, and the barbeques! Swimming pools, lemonade, and the beach! Here are a few summer themed gift ideas for family and friends. Do you have any summer birthdays or anniversarys?  Maybe you'll need to find a gift for the family that his hosting you at their beach house/ summer home? Perhaps you'd like to get something for the child going off to camp!

Graduation Gifts...keeping up with the trends!

In a few weeks my younger sister will be graduating! I am so excited for her! and a little less excited for me. (honestly, I could barely sit through my own graduation, let's just say I am less than thrilled to be listening to speeches and life lessons on a Sunday morning)

I hope to make it there just in time to catch a picture of her on the stage and then greet her with some balloons and a gift!

Now that's where I'm holding. Finding her a gift! Because I'm her older sister, and that's what older sisters are for -right?

I was discussing this with a friend of mine, who's younger sister is also graduating. She told me that she always knew what she would buy her sister as a gift. The gift that was the most popular when we graduated. The tiffany heart bracelet! Of course, many years have passed and this trend is long gone. But my friend D is still holding on to her childhood trauma. Her parents were out of the loop (as were mine) and although we appreciated our cameras, other jewelry that we received as gifts. There's still something cool about getting the latest and most popular IT accessory or gadget.

This is where you, my dear readers come in, Please help me by filling me in on the latest accessory, gadget or toy. I want to get my sister something as cool as the Tiffany bracelet was in our days ;)
