So if you’re a wine-loving girl or into recyling and save the planet projects, this is the gift for you.  Or if you know someone who meets that description, send her a pair of these earrings for a special gift and she’ll love you forever.  And you can feel proud for doing a little something for the environment.

You can purchase these earrings at a delightful gift website.  If green isn’t your color, there’s also amber colored ones created from recycled beer bottles and deep blue ones from recycled vodka bottles.  And best of all, you don’t have to empty the bottle to get the earrings.

As you climb onto a bar stool,  the scent of Cuban cigars, malt whiskey and fresh summer peaches fills the air.  As your eyes adjust from the bright sunlight outside to the dimly lit bar, you’re surprised to see faces that you’ve seen on book jackets back in the bookstore in your home town in America.  Down at the end of the bar, Ernest Hemingway is discussing his latest escapade with Sinclair Lewis.  Orson Wells is sitting at the bar, just a few stools down from you, talking with owner Giuseppe Cipriani, as he mixes a peach colored nectar  with a sparkling wine. 

When he hands it to Orson, you know you just have to try the frothy icy pink drink whose fragrance of freshly-picked peaches floats through the air towards you.  Giuseppe nods and mixes another.   As Giuseppe places the drink in front of you, he explains that he calls it a Bellini because it reminds him of the vibrant pink color of the toga worn by a saint in a 15th century painting by Giovanni Bellini.

Now, you no longer have to imagine.  You can relive that long ago summer day in your own home or on your patio with friends.  Making your own Peach Bellini is as easy as mixing the peach bellini mix with your favorite sparkling wine or champagne.  And you, too, can enjoy the fruity fresh flavor experienced by those who were lucky enough to visit Harry’s Venice Bar during that long ago time in a far away place.  

Now you can send a gourmet dinner that tastes as good as one from the finest restaurants.  It is shipped direct to them in a cooler box with ice packs via two-day air.  All you need is an oven to heat it while you light the candles and set the table.

Just reading the choice of entrees will make your mouth water—and they taste as good as they sound.  To see this elegant gift go to Gourmet Meals Delivered.  If you don’t know they will like or when they would prefer to have it delivered, gift certificates are available.  Then they can choose their own meal and time for delivery.

Bon Appetit!

Unique is a word that is often overused.  There are unique people, unique businesses, unique pets, and unique just about anything  Now, no gift is truly unique. . . there’s usually another one somewhere that is similar.  But, to me, unique means special…different…unusual…not a gift you can pick up easily at your local mall.

If you aren’t involved in the industry, you can spend a lot of time searching.  Searching the stores.  Searching the web.  And throwing up your hands in disgust. 

But, no more!  I’m in the industry–have been for 17 years.  During that time, I’ve learned what people like to give and what they like to receive.  Of course, you could always send those old standbys–a box of chocolate, a green plant, or a vase of flowers.  But that’s not unique!  That’s common.  It’s everyday.  It’s the kind of gift that people with little imagination give because it’s all too easy to pick up the phone and say “Just send a nice bouqet or a big plant.”

But that’s not the kind of gifts that I will be featuring.  I’ll be introducing you to gifts that are appropriate for anybody or any occasion.  I’ve been in the gift business for 17 years and have seen gifts of all kinds.  Some you wouldn’t want to remember.  And some that still make me smile to think of them.

Come back.  Check us out regularly.  And discover some truly unique gifts.  You’re in for a unique gift-giving ride.
