If you want to get fabulous gifts for Christmas for the people you love, try getting them something extra special by personalizing their gifts…

…I don’t mean something cheap with a person’s name on it. I mean something of high quality that’s personalized and customized with whatever you want printed on it.

Check out this really adorable personalized duffle bag available in 22 styles by Mint!

I’d love one of these with my name on it. As you all may know, I love pink and animal print.

I think gifts like this are so lovely because it’s not something you can just pick off the shelf…You have to plan ahead and take care in choosing the gift. It makes it that much more unique.

Another cute idea, especially for college students, is a great laundry bag. They even have styles for guys:

Handy and necessary for those students! Why not make them smile every time they use something as simple as their dirty clothes bag.

Yes, these are customizable too. Maybe instead of putting their name on it, you could have their initials embroidered on these items. That way there’ll be no question who’s bags belong to each person, even in the dorms.

Don’t worry…The young ones won’t feel left out because there are styles for them too. Check out Posy Lane’s insulated lunch tote:

I think they’re really sweet and will make the young kids feel special as well.

Oh, and these aren’t the only personalized gift choices from this shop, they’ve got things like towel wraps, nap mats, backpacks and blankets, to name a few things.

I would absolutely love my very own terry robe that’s customized. What a great idea!!!

I love to decorate by decking the halls, trimming the tree and putting up lights outside.

I put the Christmas towels and tea towels out, along with the good China in the dining room.

I start wearing some of Christmas sweaters and the like, and have just discovered the wide array of  Holiday Fun Eyeglasses from Zenni.

Zenni is a site that I’ve ordered glasses from in the past and have had a great experience with them.

The thing that’s so fabulous about is that they have $8 Prescription Zenni Glasses.

That makes it a fabulous place to find glasses that are more fun because it’s so inexpensive to mix and match with your wardrobe. I just love choices!

Be sure to check out their New Arrivals too! Such cute glasses.

The leaves are changing, it’s sunny, but cool and everything starts to bring us together as families – with Thanksgiving and Christmas around the corner.

Brides choose such lovely bridesmaid dresses in awesome autumn colours. One of my daugthers got married in October and chose a fabulously lush cherry red for her bridesmaid dresses – so stunning!

The most stressful thing for a bride is finding Cheap Wedding Dresses with Latest Styles.

Now, I found a website today, zmnm.com (not sure what that stands for, but anyway)…

They specialize in the newest wedding dress styles on the market, but at discount prices. They have some really gorgeous dresses!!!

Now, guess how much this wedding gown costs…I nearly fell off my chair – it’s only £96 – that’s approximately $157.00 USD! That’s unbelievable!!!

It looks like it just came off the catwalk in Milan – beautiful!

That’s not all they sell there, but it got me thinking about fall weddings. They also sell great quality, discount priced golf clubs (yes, golf clubs), jewelry, shoes, bags, clothes, furniture and paintings! Eclectic, but great prices.

It’s a great online store for beauty, fashion and elegance…

…and I know why…

When my husband and I coached one of her softball teams when she was a tween, unlike previous or later coaches, we made sure the girls were decked out! They were the St. Catharines Crystals!

They had a choice of 4 uniforms, 2 colors of jackets, bags, 3 cool embroidered hats, cool socks and stirrups and anything else we could get our hands on.

Afterall, parents, your kids only get to be kids once – they only get to live those years one time – make them memorable – make them fun!

We did a lot of fundraising and actually, had a lot of fun doing it, which also helped the girls bond and work towards something that was worthwhile.

Honestly, isn’t it worth the few dollars to get some promotional bags printed with your team’s logo on it to get the girls excited, feeling good and looking intimidating to other teams. It made them feel special!

In fact, I know my daughter has still saved some of that year’s gear – I guess it’s memorabilia, or for nostalgic purposes, and from what I’ve heard from the other girls I’ve bumped into over the years, that’s what they remember most…and they’ve also saved their stuff from that year.

Our softball league was a little upset we changed the logo to something much cooler, but we did it custom and it was awesome – the girls loved it! Isn’t that really what matters – isn’t that all that matters?

So, if you have to go and get something cool made from imprinted promotional products like bags, towels, water bottles, umbrellas, coolers or whatever – you only get to do it once! Do it right!

I don’t know about you, but in our family a dirty pair of running shoes is a serious fashion faux-pas – a pet peeve, if you will.

There is nothing like a nice, clean, white pair of running shoes! This is kind of how we feel about clean sneakers – Check out this funny Foot Locker video:

…And there’s no reason your running shoes shoud be dirty when you can clean them so easily!

Find out How to Wash Running Shoes on my daughter’s blog…

You simply cannot leave home in white running shoes that are dingy!

This show really made an impression on me. It’s so sad to see people, anyone, hurting so badly that they feel drugs are their only “way out”, their only companion.

If it can happen to celebrities with fame and fortune, it can certainly happen to anyone. Money and fame don’t buy happiness.

I saw a website online when I was surfing today called TheDrugRehab.com. It made me think of this show we watched and it’s great to see that there are places to reach out to for people addicted to drugs.

Basically, they can go to this website, if they’re seeking help with addiction and they can get a free referral to a drug treatment facility. That’s right – it’s a free service.

I think this service refers to Michigan drug rehab centers, and on the main page it discusses what they believe in, why Michigan drug rehabs work, how to stay focused and that they don’t just release you amongst the wolves after treatment. There is aftercare too.

What’s great is that they can refer a person to a drug rehab facility that best suits their needs, instead of a person, who may be on the edge of deciding whether or not to go at all, trying to do a whole bunch of research to find the right place for them.

This free service has all of the information to choose the right place and give you more information about whatever else you may need.

If you know of someone who may need help, you can call for information as well.

If you enter your name, email and phone number, someone who is a professional counselor will call you back, instead of you having to call long distance or wait on hold for a long time.

If you or someone you love needs help – don’t hesitate to call and get some assistance. You only have one life to live! Take care!

So, I thought I’d launch my own search for quality products I’m looking for, but at wholesale prices.

I mean, who wants to pay more for things when they don’t have to? I don’t!

I believe I came upon a reliable wholesaler that seems to have really competitive prices for things like art, clothing, jewelry, shoes and electronics.

I’ve been looking at getting a new laptop as mine hasn’t been working so fabulously as of late. Plus, with all the blogging I’ve been doing and keeping in contact with family online, I think it would serve me well.

I know the prices are in English pounds, but just use a currency exchange calculator online to figure out the conversion. Plus, they will still drop ship them to me, or anyone else, if I want to sell these products on eBay or Craigslist. You see, I have been learning a lot about being online.

I have my eye on a great computer with a large screen because I like to watch movies on my laptop when I travel.

At ptlue.com, they have some really pretty jewelry too that caught my eye…I love sparkly things.

From now on, before I purchase anything with a big price tag at a store, I’m going to check online to see what my options are and if I can find it cheaper somewhere else.

However, this way of shopping for craft supplies can be pricey.

Once you find a yarn you enjoy to use, i.e. the thickness, color, feel, etc, make sure you write down the brand name and other identifying information about it.

A problem you could have with starting a crocheted project is that you must have enough yarn to finish it too. What if you run out of yarn and the store you bought it from runs out (or you buy them out)?

If you wrote down that important information, you are able to order it online from craft suppliers.

I tend to use a lot of pinks, purples, blues, and whites. So, I often would buy the stores out with their limited supplies.

So, in order to get your yarn for cheaper prices, as much as you want of it, and the colors you like, try buying online.

You could start a blog, create ebooks, sell someone else’s product like with affiliate marketing, or you can get paid for advertising on your site, just to name a few.

It can be overwhelming with so much spam content in your email inbox promising you the world at your feet and money in your pocket…

I was told about a program called the MoneyMakerClub by someone I know and they said it’s really helped them making money online.

Many programs like this just don’t deliver, are too complicated to implement or you need some start up money, that you might not have.

Apparently, this program has great mentoring and coaching that help you really succeed in supplementing your income or replacing your job completely.

I have not used this product at all, so I don’t know for sure…just wanted to relay that information so maybe it could help someone get started with their Financial Breakthrough…

Have you used this program? If you have, be so kind as to let us all know by commenting in the comment box below about how you liked it, didn’t like it or whatever you feel like sharing.
