Creating Stocking Stuffer Gift Sets For Teen Girls

Creating Stocking Stuffer Gift Sets For Teen Girls

Are you tired of the same old thing when it comes to creating Christmas and Holiday Stockings for teenaged girls?

I have a daughter who is now 23 years old. Back when she was a teenager, I started creating theme’ d Holiday stockings for her. Instead of buying a mish mash of items, I concentrated on making theme’ d stockings with items that I knew she would appreciate and enjoy.

When putting together your gift sets, keep size in mind. You will want to use small items or travel sizes.

You don’t have to fill the stocking with every item listed, these are only suggestions to get your creative process flowing.

1. Manicure/Pedicure: base coat, top coat, 3 colored nail polishes, fingernail file, fingernail clippers, toenail clippers, cuticle pusher, bottle of nail polish remover and cotton remover pads.

2. Cosmetics: eye shadows, blusher, tube of mascara, lip glosses, lip balms, cover-up stick, foundation, pressed powder, eye make-up remover, cosmetic sponges, a small cosmetic bag and a good facial cleanser.

3. Skin care: facial cleanser, toner, moisturizer, acne wash, facial scrubbing mask and cotton balls.

4. Jewelry: earrings, bracelet, necklace, ankle bracelet, toe ring, jewelry cleaner and a jewelry bag or roll for traveling.

5. Photography: disposable camera, brag book sized photo album, gift card for film developing and a few small 3 x 5 picture frames. All teen girls love to take photograph’s of their friends.

6. Bath and Shower: shower pouf, bath sponge, shower gel, bubble bath, bath salts, bath bombs, body lotion and some bath soaps.

7. Hair care: shampoo, conditioner, mousse, styling gel, hair spray and a hair towel that can easily be rolled up and put into a stocking.

8. Hair Accessories: barrettes, pony tail holders, decorative bobby pins, hair clips, hair scrunchies, combs and brushes. You could also include a gift card to their favorite hair salon.

9. Weekend Fun: For this idea, you will want to purchase several .00 and .00 gift cards to places such as: local pizza shop, roller skating rink, ice skating rink, miniature golf course, ice cream parlor and the movie theater. Purchase several jewelry gift boxes and place one gift card in each box. Next, wrap each box and place them inside the stocking.

10. Teen Accessories: small wallet, coin purse, belt, cosmetic bag, cell phone case, scarf, gloves, knit hat, socks and other small accessory items that teen girls love.

Making theme’ d holiday stockings are fun! I am sure your gift will be a big hit with any teenaged girl on your Holiday list. My daughter is now an adult and to this day, I continue this tradition when it comes to creating her Holiday stocking.

Great, Affordable Stocking Stuffer Ideas

Great, Affordable Stocking Stuffer Ideas

If you are struggling with money this year, as many people are, then you may be thinking of ways to cut back on your Christmas spending this year. Well, instead of spending a lot of money on one or two big gifts this year you can spend less money on more, yet still satisfying stocking stuffers. In reality there are a million different stocking stuffers you can give, but not all may suit the fancy of your recipient. Here are some great stocking stuffer ideas by age groups so you can find the perfect present for everyone on your list.

Babies from the year of 0-2 probably will not remember the Christmas gifts they receive but being able to take pictures of them tearing through their stocking will give you all something to look back on. For this age group snacks are always a good gift, think animal crackers, goldfish, or even better a cheerios dispenser with cheerios. You can also add some gifts that will probably benefit you more but will still give your baby something to open, gifts such as small stuffed animals, tiny board books, rattles, teething rings, bibs or bath toys or products. When looking for gifts for this age group it is important to remember to avoid choking hazards and objects with loose parts or sharp edges.

Obviously, as children get older there is more variety available gift wise but from the ages 2-8 there is still some safety concerns that must be considered so getting safe and simple gifts is wise. Gifts such as stickers, temporary tattoos, twisty straws, accessories (crowns, sheriff badges, gloves, sunglasses, pirate patches, etc), ornaments, pens, pencils, play dough, animal figures, character band aids and play jewelry are all fun. Obviously, when considering gifts for children in this age group you must still take into consideration age discrepancies, thus, play dough may not be a good idea for a two year old.

The next age group is that of the 9-11 year olds. This age group falls into an in between section but there are still some items that will be loved, think juggling balls, magic tricks, sketch book, “snowman poop”, Christmas ornament, special coins pocket stars, play jewelry, or toiletries. Movies are also a great gift for this age group as are smaller balls.

Now, as we get to the middle school age the number of gifts you can condor up becomes more numerous. This is an age where children are beginning to really grow up and have particular interests. For this age first think about specific bands, movies, or celebrities that your children are interested in and then buy items according to that. But there are also other items that this age group will love.  For boys of this age you can get a small pocket knife, a desk calendar, an iTunes gift card, a Christmas ornament, cash, a cell phone cover or accessories, a Nerf football, a hacky sack, disposable razors, beef jerky or a pocket reference book. For a girl you can get colored Chap Stick, an iTunes gift card, a movie theatre gift card, jewelry, hair accessories, perfume, stationary, sketch books, or cell phone accessories.

The next two age groups you might think of can kind of be combined. These age groups are those of high school and college age kids. These kids often have more refined taste but still enjoy some unexpected gifts. For boys of this age think cell phone covers, hack sacks, t-shirts, USB flash drives, iTunes gift cards, Jamba Juice or Starbucks gift cards, movie theatre certificates, cash, Chap Stick or the Onion desk calendar. And for girls you can get accessories, hair bands or clips, stationary, jewelry, luggage tags, scrapbooking supplies, perfume, travel size toiletries, books, cash, CD’s or gift cards to their favorite stores.

Finally, we move on to adult appropriate stocking stuffers. Many adults have a very refined taste and know what they enjoy and what they do not, thus taking into consideration the individual’s favorite candies, teas, coffees, chocolates etc will help fill that stocking but there are also other things that will be appreciated as well. Many men would enjoy a digital camera, a wallet, a small camcorder, a wine bottle, a tie, a leather shaving bag, an electric razor, a lighter, a watch, cuff links or slippers. Women on the other hand would like a skin car kit, lip balm or lipstick, a makeup kit, candles, perfume, hand warmers, tea or jewelry.

New Technology Set To Brighten Up Retailers’ Christmas

New Technology Set To Brighten Up Retailers’ Christmas

Chip and Pin terminals are no longer just machines to accept credit and debit card payments. A new functionality has been built into these terminals, allowing retailers to borrow their future credit and debit card sales upfront which they can then payback through a percentage of each credit and debit card sale from their customers.

This is a refreshing alternative for retailers who have been struggling to get access to working capital from the banks. Retailers across the country are taking advantage of an asset they already have; their future credit and debit card sales.

This is a perfect time for retailers to learn about this facility that is available to them as Christmas is approaching. Retailers can take advantage by receiving their Christmas takings now which will allow them to invest it into their business by either purchasing Christmas stock, refurbishing their premises or simply whatever they may need.

One merchant who has taken advantage of this new technology is Jake Schamrel of the Courtyard Restaurant. Jake needed working capital to convert unused space in this restaurant into a casual dining room. Once converted, Jake has seen 28% growth in his business revenue.

“This is a genius idea, a unique system that suites my business. The payments are flexible so whether I process £5,000 or £2000 it works alongside my business activity with no risk to me or my business.”

These terminals are giving merchants an alternative route to funding, helping them to grow and improve their businesses. Jake is one of many business owners who will not be beaten and continue to grow his business through the recession.

United Kapital (http://www.unitedkapital.co.uk) is pleased to be one of the first companies to introduce this terminal functionality. Tony Pegg, Managing Director of United Kapital indicated, “These terminals are the most advanced in the market, not only are they effective at their primary function of accepting credit and credit card payments but they give merchants the assurance of working capital as and when they need it. The terminals are PCI DSS compliant and are available to all types of business whether their business currently has a fixed, portable or mobile terminal.”

Borrowing tips to meet the cost of Christmas

Borrowing tips to meet the cost of Christmas

A 0% purchases credit card could offer ideal assistance to those looking to borrow in the build-up to Christmas.

Britons searching for a helping hand when it comes to money this Christmas may want to consider 0% credit card deals, one writer claims.

Serena Cowdy notes that for those looking to borrow in order to meet various expenses over the festive period a credit card that offers a 0% purchases feature may be the “cheapest and best” option.

Writing in a lovemoney.com article, she points out that such credit offers are effectively “a short-term interest-free loan”.

However, those looking to compare accounts in order to obtain such a product are advised that they only tend to be available to those with a “squeaky clean credit record” and only want to borrow a relatively small amount of money.

Ms Cowdy goes on to give particular praise to the Tesco Clubcard credit card provided by one of the big supermarket chains – Tesco, which offers 0% purchases for a 12-month period. After this point, however, the interest payable rises to a typical rate of 16.9 per cent.

Indeed, the writer is keen to point out that those who are unable to clear off their balance by the time the 0% purchases offer expires will be liable to pay interest at a rate that is “almost certainly going to be far higher than that charged by a personal loan”.

However, those assessing their borrowing options in the build-up to December 25th may also want to consider seeking out a current account that offers a “decent 0% overdraft facility”. And while she highlights the Alliance & Leicester Premier Direct current account’s 12-month interest-free overdraft facility for up to £2,000 – in a similar manner to 0% purchases credit cards – people need to clear off their debt by the time the special offer runs out to avoid paying significant sums in interest charges and fees.

Such a product could be particularly helpful for parents as a recent AXA study revealed mums and dads will spend more than £300 on filling their child’s Christmas stockings with gifts.

Christmas for the Critters on a Conservation Holiday

Christmas for the Critters on a Conservation Holiday

It’s THAT time of year again. In the lead up to Christmas, even the sanest among us seem to go a little crazy. The crowds, the costs, the canapés and the cocktail parties… isn’t it just a little too over the top sometimes? This year, wouldn’t it be nice to eschew the traditional family fracas and head off to warmer climes where the guests around the dinner table are a little ‘wilder’ than Aunty Madge flinging off her cardie to a rousing rendition of ‘All I want for Christmas’? Taking time out to volunteer for some animal conservation work in an exotic faraway land is a novel way to spend the festive season – and a worthwhile cause to boot.

As well as enjoying some much better weather than at home, during the course of your animal conservation work you will make the acquaintance of some of the most magnificent animals in the world. You will take part in valuable research and monitoring programs; carry out practical duties in the conservation and maintenance of the animals’ habitats; and spend your days working on a wide variety of projects integral to preserving the future of these precious animals.

So, if the thought of setting off on a wildlife adventure and discovering a whole new world appeals a little more than the thought of setting off to your mum’s on Christmas day and discovering another hand-knitted sweater under the tree, then you’ve got nothing to lose! But if you DO choose to take a break and head off for some animal conservation work in the festive season, you can’t arrive empty handed. It’s Christmas after all! Before you set off, here are some ideas you might want to consider for a ‘Conservation Christmas Stocking’ for all your new friends.

Elephant Man

Well, these gentle giants are like your Uncle George – pretty much happy with anything that they can put on their head, or put in their mouth! A nice straw trilby could actually serve both needs here, but a gift basket of fruit, a long cool bucket of water and a pack of digestive biscuits will probably go down a little better! In the course of your animal conservation work you may notice the effect of the relentless African sun on your own skin, so spare a thought for the elephant and consider a couple of industrial sized bottles of shea butter body lotion too.

Monkey Boy

There is some wonderful animal conservation work going on at the Colobus Monkey Trust in Kenya, so why not spend a Christmas getting funky with a monkey? These cheeky fellows will put you in mind of your ten year old cousin who’s perfect gift is something for his room or a hip designer school bag, so this should be easy. Why not splash out on a monkey man-bag to store those bananas in as they’re swinging through the jungles; or perhaps the latest Phillip Starck banana bean-bag to relax in by the river?

Lady Leopard

Never a shrinking violet, the leopard is the designer-double of your fashion-mad sisters. Head to Sri Lanka for your animal conservation work and you will be put to work on field projects designed to gather valuable data and educate the locals in the importance of living in harmony with these unique ladies (and gentlemen!). Don’t try and fob the girls off with a fake at Christmas though, because nothing but the best will do! These ladies who lunch will adore the latest handbag (plain colours only please) to set off their fabulous furry coats, or perhaps some emerald ‘bling’ to match their gorgeous eyes.

Sporty Cheetah

Not one to make friends easily, the speedy cheetah will nonetheless win your heart if you volunteer for some animal conservation work on the Hoedspruit Cheetah Project in South Africa. Dealing with sick, orphaned and breeding cheetahs, working at Hoedspruit is a truly wild and wonderful experience. Just like your competitive older brother, the cheetah’s ideal present would be something sporty and practical. How about an up-to-the-minute stop watch or a handy digital pedometer; or for those days when the going’s been a little too tough, some meaty chews and a big jar of tiger balm?

No matter where you choose to spend your Christmas conservation holiday abroad, you can be assured that as well as making a memory you will never forget, you will be making a valuable contribution to ensuring the endangered wild animals of the world have a better chance of survival – and handing out some great gifts too!

Don’t Give Unwanted Christmas Presents

Don’t Give Unwanted Christmas Presents

Let’s face it, the last thing you want to be known as at Christmas time is the bad present giver. There is nothing worse than being sat with your family or friends at Christmas, only to watch the false smiles appear on their faces as you hand over a pair of socks and a box of chocolates for the third year running. If this sounds like you then you may just benefit reading this advice before it is too late.

Bad presents tend to fall into three categories, Thoughtless, Useless and Boring. If you have been unfortunate enough to receive any gift from that list then you should have an idea of an alternative which you would have been much happier with

Turn a thoughtless gift into a thoughtful gift…

One of the obvious signs of a thoughtless gift is the ‘rush’ factor. Regardless of the cost, a gift that looks like it has been bought in a hurry screams a like of thought and preparation. Even the most expensive bottle of champagne would not impress someone who is teetotal.

Taking your time and being organized is the key to making sure your gifts this year are your most thoughtful yet. The internet is perfect for helping you discover some great unique presents. Many websites specialize in producing personalized gifts and do not charge extra for the personalization.

Personalizing a present is a clear indication that you have thought about the recipient. Nowadays the usual thoughtless gifts can become a present to treasure for years to come. If they are fond of a particular tipple you can now personalize a bottle of wine, all you do is type in the message you would like and it is delivered to your door. Even a calendar can become the highlight of Christmas day when the lucky recipient sees their name spelt out in a different image throughout the 12 months.

How to go from Useless to Useful…

Having received my fair share of useless gifts this area is a particular issue of mine. Who really needs a baseball cap with two can holders either side off it with a detachable straw? We can all appreciate a humorous gift, but they don’t always have to be useless. Photo gifts have taken off in a big way and enable you to send an image via email and have it printed on to a range of accessories and household items. Whether it is a cushion for your sofa or a deck chair for the garden, these great gifts take your favorite photograph and turn it into a unique gift that looks good as well as being useful.

There are also some wonderful Christmas themed presents available online that should be essential additions to your preparations for the big day. Personalized Christmas Stockings and Santa Sacks are perfect for making Christmas morning even more special and exciting and they are ideal for keeping all your gifts safe, away from prying eyes.

No more socks, make this Christmas one to remember…

There should be no excuse this year for you to give, or receive for that matter, a boring gift. With the option of both high street and online shopping there has never been more choice for all your Christmas shopping needs. Retailers are gearing up for the festive season earlier each year with more interesting and exciting presents than ever before. To buy a boring gift this year would be inexcusable.

Experience Days are the ultimate in exciting gifts. Jumping out of a plane, speeding round a track in a sports car or tackling wild water rapids are just a handful of the activity days available online. If a friend has had a lifetime ambition of doing a bungee jump, why not treat them to the adrenaline thrill instead of novelty silk tie?

Why not surprise a loved one by naming their own star? A million miles away from a boring gift, you can now register a name of your choice on the intergalactic star database and even find the location of it with a poster of the star’s coordinates. Or take one giant leap in your Christmas shopping habits and purchase a genuine acre of the moon? A loophole in International Law resulted in American Dennis Law claiming ownership of the moon and its surrounding satellites which he then began to sell off acre by acre. Your friend may never actually manage to step foot on their acre but they will still have an official certificate from the Lunar Embassy to prove they are the rightful owners.

Christmas Holiday Traditions

Christmas Holiday Traditions

Christmas is an annual holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus. Christmas festivities often combine the commemoration of Jesus’ birth with various secular customs, many of which have been influenced by earlier winter festivals. The date as a birthdate for Jesus is traditional, and is not considered to be his actual date of birth. As the autumn breeze blows summer away, the fall leaves begin to drop from the trees and everyone begins to bundle up and prepare for the chilly weather. The color of the season turn to bright orange, a golden yellow, browns and reds as everyone begins to prepare for the first days of autumn and Halloween. And yet, right there on the shelf, next to the jack-o-lantern is Santa himself.

What has happened to the holiday traditions? For the sake of commercialism, stores now decorate the shelves with Halloween candy and Christmas stockings. It was once customary to allow each holiday it’s own time for celebration and merriment before allowing the next to breeze into the markets retail aisles. Gone is this policy and in its place is a department store crammed with Halloween decorations, turkey platters and artificial Christmas trees. It is as if we are in the fast lane of holiday celebrations, how long until commercialism combines them into one giant event.

I remember the fun of seasonal shopping, anticipating the arrival of the Halloween costumes, candy, ghosts and goblins filling the aisles and the shopping carts, undisturbed by the Thanksgiving turkey or Santa and his elves. Happy Halloween was not seen on the same aisle as Merry Christmas, because the two holidays were never being sold at the same time. Some Stores held onto custom much longer that their competitor’s and did not decorate or sell their Christmas specialties until the day after Thanksgiving. It was impossible to buy a cup of Christmas blend until the early morning hours on the day after Thanksgiving shopping extravaganza, while on the way to see the Christmas decorations at Nordstrom.

It once was a time-honored tradition that the phrase “Merry Christmas” was never seen or heard and Santa absolutely never arrived at the malls until after the turkey had been cleared away from the Thanksgiving table. Why has the need to increase sales and generate revenue forced us to sacrifice the pleasure and joy found in celebrating each and every holiday? You do not have to see Christmas decorations or hear “Merry Christmas” to purchase Christmas gifts, so why the need to bundles holiday sales into one bulk shopping experience?

In our house, we still recognize and celebrate each holiday as it arrives. In the fall we celebrate the seasonal change by picking apples and hosting a neighborhood cider press party, making cider from freshly picked apples. In October we decorate and prepare for a large Halloween party filled with ghosts, goblins and skeletons. In November we gather around the table to give Thanks for the years blessings and in December we welcome the Christmas spirit inviting friends and family to celebrate a Merry Christmas together in our home.
