Helping you un-stump your brain and find the perfect gift
Valentine’s Day
New Skills Can Be An Enriching Gift
Jun 2nd
If you are banging you head against the wall trying to think of a unique gift idea for someone close to you, you may just have found something that will work for you!
If your wife/husband, parent, brother/sister, adult children, or close friend has ever talked about being bored at this point in their life, or wishing they had a hobby, or that they had pursued past attempts at playing an instrument or painting, or if you know that they have admired the ballroom dancing on Dancing With The Stars, then giving them DVD-based lessons could be the perfect fit.
For this gift idea article, I am highlighting DVD lesson sets from Legacy Learning Systems. Yes, we do have an affiliate relationship with them where we would get a commission, but the idea is genuine (as always!!) and the price is the same no matter how you get there.
Hopefully one of the following DVD lesson sets will spark your gift-giving genius and make someone close to you very happy:

Remember That One Night Under the Stars? Well, She Does!
Mar 18th
I’m going to suggest this particular gift idea for the guys. Sure, the ladies could definitely give this one to their fellas, but it might not have the same impact as the man saying:
“Yes, I remember that night perfectly. In fact, I know the exact coordinates of where we were, and what the weather patterns were, and every detail about which pretty little stars shone the brightest!”
Indigo Night has the perfect gift for that guy:
|
| How it works: Give Indigo the date and location (on the website). They will recreate a picture of that night sky just as it appeared. Add a message, let them know how romantic and thoughtful you are. Choose a horizon illustration from an extensive image library. Voila! The most romantic gift ever! |

Woof.

Give the Gift of Memories
Mar 7th
It’s a wonderful world these days where it is now sooooo easy to organize your photos and publish your own photo book full of memories.

Giving a custom-made, personalized photo book is a fantastic gift, and practically guaranteed to WOW!! the recipient.
Unless, you don’t take great pictures, or if slap something together as quickly as possible, or the person receiving the photo book doesn’t like the memories you are presenting….
There are so many occasions that fit this kind of present – anniversaries, graduations, birthdays, thank-you’s, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day (maybe), and even just-because.
Most people already have their own personal favorite photo-sharing website, but here’s a quick list just in case you don’t have a favorite yet:
 |
PhotoWorks |
 |
Shutterfly |
 |
Snapfish |
 |
Blurb |
 |
Vistaprint |
 |
MyPublisher |
Have fun creating your photo book, and get ready for the crazy amount of praise you are going to get!
For a twist on giving the gift of photo memories, you might look at creating an online video out of your pics:

(Oh, and Mother’s Day is coming up soon enough, so put this idea on your list.)
