Have you got a guy in your life that is constantly emptying his pockets on your nightstand? I do and it seems like a good half of the loose change ends up on the floor and he never seems to pick it all up. But my problem has been solved - I recently got my hubby a Leather Stash Tray. No what was in his pocket in nicely stored overnight in a handy and handsome leather tray on the night stand.
Here’s the specifics on this tray. It’s a well proportioned 6 1/4″ x 6 1/4″ x 1 1/4” (now you see why it holds all his stuff so well) and sports a traditional black leather exterior with stainless steel accents. At the bottom of the tray is a black plate you can have engraved with two short lines of engraving. And it’s very affordable at under $25.

This tray makes a great Father’s Day gift and with Dad’s favorite day just around the corner, this year you can make both him and yourself really happy! Of course this gift is great for any guy - any time.
Do you have a friend who loves candy? I do and recently got her a proper candy jar for her goodies. You see she was bringing candy to work in bags and didn’t have any place to display it.
I found this personalizable glass jar that I could get engraved with her name and a short saying. It looks like an old fashioned apothecary jar. She loved it.
I think bringing a bit of creativity into our gift buying efforts is so important. Rather than just any old gift like a lotion from a nice boutique, this gift conveyed that I thought enough to get her something personal to her life. It doesn’t usually take much and gift personalized can add that special touch.

There are few ‘gotta have’ items in my life. I guess I’m a bit of a simple girl. But one exception I’ve made recently is with EyeCandyGift.com’s Metro Tote Bag. This bag is a must have for me because I travel a bit and within the fairly voluminous interior I can place my laptop, my purse, my keys, my Palm Treo and my cosmetic case. So when I travel I have everything I must have in this ‘must have’ tote bag.
Here’s the scoop on this tote. It’s a generous 17 ½” x 12” x 7 ½” (now you see how I can get all my stuff in there) and sports a traditional black and tan exterior. I had it monogrammed so even at a distance I know my own bag. This makes a stylish alternative for the female executive who’s tired of the ubiquitous black leather brief cases and travel bags. And it’s very affordable!

Let’s face it - almost all women love jewelry. We do. It makes us feel special - a little better than someone else - a little more loved than someone else. I’m not saying we’re mature on this issue ‘cuz we are not. But it’s a fact we love jewelry.
More than that, we love personalized jewelry. Why? Because when you take the time to engrave it with a message or our initials it means you took that extra step. You didn’t just go to the store and pay for it, you THOUGHT about it which means you thought about us. And we like that!
This Valentine’s Day don’t just ‘phone it in’ with flowers. Oh sure, we gals really like a dozen roses but if that’s that standard gift every Valentine’s Day it kind of loses it’s luster. This year take a little time to get her something personal. A wonderful jewelry gift is really fine.
Now you can spend a fortune getting us a diamond necklace from somewhere like Zales Jewelers but you can get by with far less. Consider a sterling silver engraved heart necklace. That will capture her heart - I promise!
But if she’s not jewelry inclined, consider her lifestyle choices. If she’s a real sports nut and loves to watch the games with you, consider a pink leather koozie complete with engraving. Now that’s a fun and personal gift she’ll love.
Truth is if you just think about what she loves to do a gift is almost always close at hand. And it’s not yet too late to get a personalized gift ordered online. So no excuses guys.
I love jewelry boxes. Maybe because I love jewelry and need a place to keep it all in.
Anyway depsite the underlying driving force behind my interest I have a collection of jewelry boxes that I love to display. I have jewelry boxes made of wood and leather and crystal but my favorite is a little rectangle silver jewelry box that has my name on it. I keep my favorite rings in this one. I’ve always loved gleaming silver and this one has pretty pink velvet lining that frankly brings out my girly side.
Yes my little silver jewelry box is my favorite. A special item dear to me. Funny how little things sometimes give us the greatest pleasure.
I have a grown son in his twenties and recently his best friend became engaged. Fun to see this next generation start out their lives. Anyway, John (the friend) has to go out and select some gifts for his groomsmen. He’s not sure what to select and came to me (we own a retail store that does personalization of gifts).
Often guys get their best dudes something engraved like a money clip or set of cufflinks. Cuff links are especially nice because they can be used to dress up a tuxedo for the day of the wedding and is an item that most young men never buy themselves. Other gifts that are popular are engraved pocket knives and flasks or even an embroidered golf towel.
But if none of these more traditional gifts appeal to you, consider something more upbeat like a leather ipod case personalized with is initials or monogram.
Regardless of the gift, it’s the thought that counts. Weddings are stressful enough without worrying too much about a gift for your best man and grooms attendents.
It happens every year about this time. Late February I just get sick of winter. Too much cold, no green grass, no flowers - mostly just a brown landscape. So I often spend time with the plant catalogs that get sent to my home. I find the colors and hues of flowers just as sparkling as any jewel.
Of course they don’t last that long. Maybe that’s why I love gems so much. Tons of colors, a depth of color that just speaks of firey passions or dark secrets.
Anyway, I’d write longer but I have a new catalog to look at this morning. And the weatherman says the temperature will move up today. So spring can’t be far behind. Life is good!
I’m always taken back by a lot of the hullabaloo that goes on with Valentine’s Day. Don’t get me wrong, I love flowers as much as the next gal but I don’t feel that if I don’t get them on Valentines I am unloved. Same with chocolates, by the way.
This year Valentines day happened to be a day we had a parent/teacher set of conferences to go to for our younger son in the early evening hours. Now I suppose we could have been sophisticated and scheduled a late dinner but we both had to get up the next day and with the demands of family and jobs, didn’t want to be out till midnight.
It seems like everyday mundane experiences are a real romance killer.
Or are they?
Well after the teacher’s conference we decide to go out and have dinner at the ‘not too great but always open’ Village Inn. Well, one modest dinner later, we are about to go when my husband get’s a light in his eye and says he’ll win me the best Valentine’s day present ever!
Seems like this Village Inn has one of those ’see if you can fish it out’ claw type devices. You know the ones sure to take your money because they have developed product placement in those boxes into an art form.
So my husband goes at it. First he tries to win me a Nascar pillow (I am no Nascar fan but it seemed like the most likely item to win) and failing that he goes for a lavender colored bear wearing a tutu.
Well he didn’t win that either and a couple dollars lighter in his pants pockets, gives up. So did I end up empty handed this Valentines day? NO WAY. You should have heard us giggling and laughing away as my husband tried to master the claw. Man against machine with machine having the clear upper hand. A night of delightful laughter is better than a dozen roses any day.
And there were no dinner dishes to clean.
Yep, about as good as it gets. Another set of precious memories to add to my scrapbook of life.
I love jewelry. All kinds, really. So it just seemed natural to create this information website about jewelry and gem stones and even creative personalized gifts. Explore with me the vast array of exciting gift opportunities that exist.
