Hello,

I would like to know if it is ‘proper’ to give a birthday gift to someone who I have been dating for only a short period of time (less than a month). We have great chemistry, and during one of our conversations she mentioned to me that her birthday was next month, to which I replied that it was mine’s also. My question is, should I give her a gift at all, or is a nice dinner enough? We have great chemistry but I don’t want to rush or push things, and if a dinner is good enough that’s fine with me. Thanks.

I am getting a laptop for my graduation gift, and it can cost up to $1000. It will be mainly for school, but i want it to be capable of playing games as good as possibly for the price. I have been doing a lot of research, and anytime i find something that seems good something ends up wrong with it. I would prefer HP, and Gateway is not an option, because my parents don’t like them. I won’t be playing COD4 or games quite like that, probably more like Oblivion and such. I realize that it won’t be great, but any help is appreciated.

“Time On My Hands” – The World of Mens Jewelry

Had the great songwriting team of Vincent Youmans, Mack Gordon and Harold Adamson been composing songs about mens watches when they penned the sentimental hit Time On My Hands back in 1930, the title might have been “Time On My Wrist,” for by then, mens watches had emerged from pockets for good, and are today perhaps the most popular and most frequently item of mens jewelry.

Most people today do not realize that the first designer watches were actually wrist watches designed for women. An early example was the ladies’ “bracelet watch” that was sold in the U.S. shortly after the American Civil War. Practical timepieces for men – such as dive watches and other watches for active individuals – did not come along for almost forty years afterward when the first wrist watch for men was designed for Franco-Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont in 1904.

Luxury Watches Today

Today’s mens watches are more rugged and durable than even the finest pocket watches of the early 20th Century, yet combine this durability with beauty and craftsmanship that is worthy of the label “mens jewelry.” Mens gold watches were a traditional gift to an employee who had been with a company for forty years back when people often made a career at a single firm, and diamond mens watches remain a popular anniversary gift.

Today, there are two companies the names of which are virtually synonymous with high-quality luxury watches. One is Citizen, and the other is Movado.

The former company started out in 1918 as the Shoshoka Watch Institute of Japan; the name was changed to “Citizen” in 1930. This company manufactures fine dive watches as well as some of the most coveted luxury watches in the world.

Movado is located in Switzerland; this company’s product is primarily responsible for the term “runs like a Swiss watch.” These designer watches are generally considered to be some of the most accurate and dependable timepieces ever made. Mens gold watches and diamond mens watches from Movado (Esperanto for “I move”) are of a unique minimalist design that make them among the most distinctive pieces of mens jewelry on the market today. However, those who are considering the purchase of one of the many fine Mens Gold Watches made by this company – whether for themselves or as distinctive gifts for someone else – may have a serious problem, because Movado makes over 100 different models of luxury watches!

In any event, if you are stumped over the ideal gift, it’s good to know about mens watches. Whether it’s for a rite of passage such as a graduation or bar-mitzvah, an anniversary or birthday, or to honor someone’s outstanding achievement, mens watches are always appropriate – and always welcome.

Most Americans are hunkering down during the current economic crisis which is hitting hard right at our most joyous time of year. It seems politically incorrect even for those not suffering undue financial stress to spend a lot of money this year for the holidays. Even though the cost of gasoline is half what it was just two months ago most people continue to cut back on unnecessary driving. Let’s hope we all keep conserving as these lessons need to become habit.

The expenses related to the holiday season are huge if you add them all together. We not only have the expense of purchasing gifts but travel related expenses are high as we all want to be with our families. Christmas decorating expenses can really add up with all the gift wrap, Christmas tree and tree decorations, Christmas lights and other decorations inside and outside our homes. Many people put thousands of lights on their homes and we all love driving around the neighborhood to see all of them. But is it politically correct this year. And more important – can they afford to pay the resulting electric bill.

So if you are stressing about the holiday season due to the financial outlays think about how and where to cut your expenses so that you can still enjoy the season. Most people hang a Christmas wreath on their door for the holidays. This is the most affordable outside decoration for your home. And it is all you need. Save money by not putting up all those outdoor lights and have a fresh, green, natural <a rel=”nofollow” onclick=”javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(‘/outgoing/article_exit_link’);” href=”http://www.acadiawreath.com/c-3-24-inch-christmas-wreaths.aspx”>Christmas wreath</a>on your door to say welcome and Happy Holidays to all.

The yearly problem of what to buy for gifts for people who already have everything they need. Does Aunt Sally really need those extra pair of slippers or would she get more enjoyment out of a fresh, natural Christmas centerpiece with the wonderful balsam fragrance most associated with Christmas? Fresh Christmas Wreaths and <a rel=”nofollow” onclick=”javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(‘/outgoing/article_exit_link’);” href=”http://www.acadiawreath.com/p-24-classic-christmas-centerpiece.aspx”>Christmas Centerpieces</a> shipped directly from the Maine woods are a much loved gift. And they are affordable and can be ordered easily online. This gift can be sent every year. It really solves the annual dilemma of what to buy everyone. This is a gift everyone does want every year and look forward to receiving.

This year send a warm welcoming fresh <a rel=”nofollow” onclick=”javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(‘/outgoing/article_exit_link’);” href=”http://www.acadiawreath.com/p-20-30-inch-christmas-wreath-plaid-bow.aspx”>Christmas wreath</a> to your friends and family. Support the green economy with a fresh, natural, gift that is harvested in a sustainable manner from the world renowned Maine woods.

Don’t just grab a gift card impulsively at the grocery store next to the impulse smut magazines or candy bars. Think long and hard about the gifts you are getting for the seniors in your life. Think about their personal hobbies, interests and tastes. Do they have a <a rel=”nofollow” onclick=”javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview(‘/outgoing/article_exit_link’);” href=http://www.greatplacesinc.com/features/SeniorApartments.aspx>senior apartment</a>  or do they live in a house? Do they have a dog or a cat they dote over? What about sports or clubs they are apart of? If you think hard about just who they are all about, you will discover there are many more gifts then you could ever afford that are out there waiting to be discovered. Here are a few suggestions to help you decide just what the seniors in your life may need.

Hobbies
What are their hobbies? Do they collect porcelain dolls? Famous people’s autographs? Perhaps they are big scrapbooking fans or quilters? Once you have made a list of their hobbies, think about all the gift items that come with hobbies- there are endless options. From glass cabinets to hold precious antiques to scrapbooking boxes and special stickers, there are several options to choose from- there is even stores devoted to people with hobbies. If the senior in your life has a hobby, there will be something you can get for them they will certainly enjoy. Plus, when you give a gift that says you paid attention to their hobby- perhaps a large part of their life, you are saying, ‘yes, I pay attention, I know this makes you happy.’

Pets
Perhaps nothing is more fun then shopping for the senior in your life through their pets. Bird, dog or cat, there are huge mega-stores devoted to people’s passion for their pets. Getting the seniors in your life a new cat toy, dog outfit or bird feeder will bring so much happiness. What about paying for a weekend worth of doggie daycare so that they can go on a trip- or better yet, offer to watch the animals yourself? Another option is a trip to the doggie day spa- what a fun trip to make together. Watch their eyes light up as they watch their pooch get a shampoo, nails clipped and hair cut.

Travel
Tickets for two, no matter if it is on the train, plane or on a cruise, travel is good for every age. Any senior in your life will appreciate your thoughtfulness.

Experience
What about tickets to the theater, museum or cheese factory tour? Look around your own city and before you know it, you’ve glanced past several companies that offer tours, wine tasting, plays, musicals, glass blowing classes, photography, golf or swim aerobic lessons! Most seniors are trying to minimize the clutter in their lives and often prefer an experience over a physical gift any time. Plus, when you give an experience- you also give them a precious memory they can relive over and over again.
