My aunt told me that she will be celebrating her 30th wedding anniversary later this year and seeing how her husband loves watches, she is planning to buy him a luxurious watch. My aunt has no knowledge of fine timepieces and asked me for my help.

I have come across Ulysse Nardin Macho Palladium previously through a friend and thought that it would make a great gift for just the occasion. My uncle, who loves luxury timepieces, would surely appreciate such a watch.

I don’t know what is my aunt’s budget for this gift but I am going to help her look for specials in luxury watches but if my aunt could really get a Ulysse Nardin Macho Palladium for her husband, it would really be impressive and stand out among the pool of gifts for he couple. Don’t you think so?

Over the long Spring Holidays, I had the opportunity to meet up with many of my old schoolmates. Most are mothers to young children now and they tell me that they are having a difficult time keeping up with their antics. One thing they have in common is that they tell me they replace their eyeglasses very frequently now because the kids keep trashing them!

Most people would know that replacing prescription glasses could cost a fortune but if you know where to get them cheaply, you would be saving a lot of money! Zenni Optical has been mentioned in an article on Examiner.com here which confirms that prescription glasses are sold as cheaply as $8. Where else are you able to find prescription glasses at this price?

The reason Zenni Optical is able to offer quality prescription eyeglasses is because they have done away with middlemen since they are selling their own manufactured frames and pay no advertising dollars. By keeping their prices low, they have passed on such savings to their customers.

If you are someone looking for branded eyeglasses only, this is not the place for you but if fashionable frames are your cup of tea, you surely would be able to find something that catches your eye from Zenni’s huge collection!

Even before I could take a breather from gift giving for Mother’s Day earlier this month, Father’s Day will be here soon. Buying gifts for Father’s Day is always tougher compared to shopping for Mother’s Day gifts. My mother, like all ladies, I guess, loves designer jewelry. My father on the other hand, doesn’t have anything in particular that he wants badly. I think it’s because he could buy whatever he wanted already. LOL

From experience, I can tell you that buying jewelry for women will never fail. If you are looking for designer jewelry, check holsted jewelry, an exquisite range of exclusive jewelry pieces to suit any gift giving occasion. The best thing is that they will not break your budget!

A friend, who has five sons, told me that she wished she has daughters as well so that she could dress them up like dolls. With five children already, though, she doesn’t plan to have anymore children.

Many of my friends are young mothers who have no experience buying clothes for their daughters what with so many options available to dress up their little princesses so you can imagine how useful this clothes buying guide for girls on Shopwiki is!

According to the guide, a mother has to decide what occasion she is dressing the child for, whether casual clothing or dress clothing. Then she has to measure the child, including height and weight to determine the size required.

Also, what is important is to dress according to the weather but then there are fashionable, all-purpose clothes like The North Face Girl’s Denali Jacket that is suitable for all kinds of weather.

My friend, Terrence, is a professional photo and video blogger. He goes all over the country, and even overseas to bring news and information of public interest to his readers, even going out to sea or into dense jungle, just for blog content!

The other day, he told me that he stepped on a nail while covering an animal shelter farm and the nail poked through the sole of his Crocs. I felt very bad as I was the one who recommended Crocs to him.

This morning, I found out that Sears is running an awesome sale on Fall and Winter apparel where we would be able to receive 75-80% off original prices and this will be ongoing until 18th April, 2009.

Of course, I just have to check out Sears.com to see what they have and found this pair of DieHard SureTrack 8 in. boots that is just what my friend needs. This would surely protect his feet where ever he walks and my friend is on foot all the time just to get a good story!

As for myself, I found this lovely London Times twist front halter bubble velvet dress selling at a steep discount. Original price was $68 and it’s now only $17.99! What a steep discount. I wonder if I would look good in it.

If you are looking to change a new wardrobe, see if there’s anything that catches your eyes. Be quick, though, as stocks are limited.

I have a friend who would bring up the topic occasionally of how her partner did not give her a diamond ring on her wedding day. I know it’s a sore spot but after fifteen years being together, ten of them as a married couple, I thought that one should “let go” already.

Yesterday, she happily told me that her husband plans to get her something for Valentine’s Day and told her to select her gift, whatever her she likes, from a beautiful range of fashion jewelry sets.

My friend was so happy she couldn’t decide at once but spent long hours going through those exquisitely designed jewelry pieces. Even though I am not an accessories person or a jewelry person, there are a few pieces that caught my eye too. If you visit the website of Holsted Jewelers, you would understand why!

My sister posed this question to me a couple of days ago. You see, she would like to buy costume jewelry for her colleagues. The funny thing is that although her works in a store that sells designer costume jewelry and would be able to receive staff price on her purchases, she would not be able to buy the as gifts for her colleagues because the prices are way too steep even with discounts. Besides, her colleagues work there as well and would know how much each piece is!

Coincidentally, I was recommended Holsted Jewelers two months ago. While I have never shopped with them before, I cannot deny that I am captivated by the sparkle of their designer costume jewelry. Also, I am glad to note that their prices are very reasonable, what more with their holiday discounts in conjunction with Christmas which are most welcomed by shoppers during this time of economic distress.

My sister will probably be able to find appropriate gifts of costume jewelry here because of the wide range of designs that match her budget too.
