Top 7 Personalized Gifts To Order Online

With time at a premium, the convenience of ordering gifts online has become a fast growing trend. You can place your order while watching TV, having a coffee, at any time of the day or night, in fact, whenever is convenient to you! Prices will suit any budget and the range of gifts available will suit all ages. Recipients will love the fact that you have gone to the trouble to choose a personalized gift just for them.

Canvas Portraits

Who doesn’t love a nice portrait in their home? Canvas portraits make great gifts for everyone. Also, a canvas portrait can be of any image you want. Maybe a nice family picture, a landscape or a pet canvas portrait of a beloved furry family member.

Calendars

Don’t think a calendar is just a Christmas gift. Financial year calendars can also be given in July. Choose photos from your collection that have meaning. If you don’t have enough photos, download pictures of the person’s favorite pastime, such as classic or muscle cars, ideal holiday destinations or favorite animals. Your thoughtfulness will be appreciated.

Photo book

Photo books come in an array of sizes. Choose from a small flip or brag book which can be taken anywhere in a handbag or satchel or a coffee table book that can commemorate a recent journey or special family occasion. The books can have themes and you can also add a range of decorative embellishments.

Office gifts

Why not choose an appropriate photo to have placed on a mouse pad. Notebooks or sticky notes with the company’s logo or details are another great gift idea, especially to celebrate the opening of a new business. Company detail enhanced mugs with personal names will ensure no one gets the wrong mug ever again!

Christmas gifts

Christmas can be a rushed time so if you order your Christmas cards, gift tags and Christmas stockings on line, you will save an incredible amount of time. Add a personal touch to these items by adorning them with photos suitable to the recipients.

Embroidered Gifts

Choose from personalized embroidered pillowcases, dressing gowns, or towels. You could also present children with iron on labels embroidered with their name. Signature teddy bears can be ordered to commemorate a child’s birth date or other milestone birthday.

T-shirts & tote bags

People love personalized t-shirts! Give thought to who you are giving this gift to and maybe have a custom t-shirt printed with a favorite pet or slogan. Tote bags can be adorned with meaningful photos and are also a practical gift which can be rolled up when not in use and put in your carry bag.

A personalized gift is something to be treasured. It will show your loved one, family or friends that you really care for them. Try to choose a gift that matches the person. Children and adults alike will cherish seeing their name or picture of their favorite object embellished on a keepsake gift. A personalized gift will put a smile on anyone’s face.

Traveling with Family: Top destinations for families on a budget

Finding the right holiday destination may not be such a big issue. The world has more than 150 countries, each offering something unique. There are so many places to explore. However, finding a nice holiday location suitable for an individual or a family on a budget can be a challenge. Here are a few holiday destinations that won’t leave you broke!

Rio De Janeiro, Brazil

Rio de Janeiro receives many tourists every year. It has iconic beaches like The Ipanema beach and world-renowned landmarks such as Christ Redeemer or Cristo Redentor, Royal Portuguese Reading Room, The Sugar Loaf Mountain, The Cathedral of Rio de Janeiro and The Museum of Contemporary Art of Niterói . Brazil is known as the home of football and seeing people playing beach football is common.

The price of accommodation and recreational facilities in Rio de Janeiro is affordable by international standards. While in Rio, have fun in the sun and sand, and see the historical attractions and picturesque sights that don the city.

Gothenburg, Sweden

Tourists can do many fun activities in Sweden. Simple things such as going out for a pizza and beer may be quite pricey in certain cities of the world. This is not the case with Gothenburg, Sweden. The city is filled with many restaurants and eateries. Kungsportsavenyn is the glitzy part of the city and visitors with a knack for shopping can buy their high-end jewelry and other items from this part of the city.

Visitors can also enjoy quiet picnics in the beautiful keillers park. There are ferries that transport tourists from the city to a nearby archipelago. Sweden offers some of the best sights in Scandinavia including the Gothenburg Museum of Art, Liseberg, Universeum, Ullevi and Skansen Crown among others.

Cambodia

Though Cambodia is not as cheap as it was decades ago, it is still affordable by any standard. There has been a rise in the number of mid-range hotels in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap but a huge number of accommodation facilities are still affordable. The country is famous for its Angkor beer and beautiful sceneries such as Angkor Wat, Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum and Royal Palace Phnom Penh among others.

Spain

This country has become friendlier for tourists travelling on a budget because of the economic meltdown. It is now more affordable to explore the wonders of Spain, its northern coast and national parks. To live on a budget anywhere in Spain, spend less on wine (much as the wine may be tempting), avoid extra courses on meals and visit during low season. Some areas of interest in Spain include Gran Canaria, Alhambra, Museo Del Prado and Ibiza

Bolivia

This is one of the best pocket-friendly tourist destinations in South America. The country has affordable public transport and streets filled with food vending stores. Though items may be a bit more expensive in La Paz and Uyuni, meals would generally not top $10 in Bolivia. Visitors can visit the Valle de la Luna, Coca Museum, Tiwanaku and other locations while in Bolivia.

 

Attack Your Allergies with FLONASE®

As someone who suffers from a variety of allergies, I am always on the hunt for something that offers me fast relief right when I need it. For years I could be found popping an allergy pill or two for relief but of course, the wait for them to kick in was excruciating.

After Joey was born, my allergies kicked into high gear and have not been very enjoyable since. I have learned that pills just don’t cut it for me anymore and I made the switch to FLONASE®, an over-the-counter, non-prescription allergy relief nasal spray.

Having FLONASE® on hand has saved me quite a few times. Last summer when we took the kids to breakfast on the farm, my allergies were out of control. With all of the hay, animals and who knows what else, my eyes were watery, my nose was icky and I was itchy. Thankfully, I had FLONASE® on hand and was able to get some much needed relief.

As a FLONASE® user, it makes me happy that it works at the source and helps block 6* allergens, including histamine, prostaglandins, cytokines, tryptases, chemokines and leukotrines.

 

You can find FLONASE® Allergy Relief OTC Spray at your local Walmart, just look for the display!

 

Leave Those Embarrasing Moments Behind with DrySpray Antiperspirants

You know what is totally embarrassing?

Taking your jacket off in a public place and discovering that you have white streaks or antiperspirant all over your clothes.

Yes, this has happened to me and unfortuntately more than once.

Thankfully, as I have gotten older, I’ve become wiser and have learned that stick antiperspirant is just not for me and it’s time to ditch the ick.

I’ve tried a variety of sprays over the years but have had a hard time finding something that was a good fit for me. I didn’t want something that left that uncomfortable wet feeling behind but I also wanted something that offered the protection I would need when chasing around a bunch of little kids.

Of course, I wasn’t the only person facing this problem, Alex (as usual) was right by my side!

Thankfully we have both found new products that work for each of us and as an added bonus, they smell really good!

Allow me to introduce you to DrySpray from Axe and Degree.

I’m not going to lie, I’m hooked on the scent of both of these.  The Degree DrySpray Fresh Energy reminds me of the cucumber melon scent and  Alex happens to love the cucumber melon scent so, of course, he loves that I have been using this.

As for the Axe, he’s been using it for a good two weeks now and I cannot get enough of it.  It has a scent that reminds me of something from the 90’s but I can’t quite put my finger on what.

You can protect yourself from those embarassing moments by picking up some DrySpray Antiperspirant today!

It’s time for your to ditch the ick and try dry!

The NEW Dry Spray Antiperspirants from Degree Men, Degree Women, Dove, Dove Men+Care and Axe, available at Walmart.
