The stainless steel and leather flask (called The Oxford) is also a nice gift option for the executive or business manager who may want to tuck the flask away in his briefcase.  For those with Scottish taste, there is even a green plaid flask to choose from!  But perhaps my favorite is a leather flask and cigar case gift set.  This oozes class and sophistication and makes a perfect best man gift or gift or the guy you love. What better way to say you care than to take the time to choose such a classic, unique gift that will serve as a constant reminder of its origin.

The amount of love my husband has for the Round Mirror Cufflinks is almost indescribable. He originally received them from me as an anniversary gift. I don’t believe that he’s used a different set of cufflinks since then. As a couple who goes to many formal outings a year, that’s impressive!

I think that, if he could get away with it, he would wear his Round Mirror Cufflinks everywhere we went. One of his favorite parts is that there are no sharp corners. Before, his cufflinks would get caught on stray threads on almost everything. But it’s been years since the last time he almost pulled a table cloth off the table by moving his arm.

The other excellent thing about these cufflinks is that they literally sparkle. Whenever the light reflects off them, it catches someone’s eye. More often than not, that someone makes his or her way over to my husband to strike up a conversation. Sometimes, being noticed is all you need, and these Round Mirror Cufflinks sure do that! I can’t even begin to tell you how many business deals he’s made after a gesture caused the cufflinks to sparkle and catch some bigshot’s attention.

These were the best purchase I ever made.

Adding golf furniture and décor, even if it’s only a single desk lamp or magazine rack, to your office can make you feel better during a long day of work and it makes a great gift idea for golf lovers. A fun way to decorate your family room or den is in a golf motif. Try a wine rack or umbrella stand for starters. You can find a great selection of golf themed furniture and decor at TheGolfCollection.com.

And consider taking it a step further - perhaps select golf wallpaper to add character to the walls, and then accessorize with a bar table or bar stools or turn a beautiful golf throw from cover-up to wall hanging. Practice your putting on the carpet and pretend this is the 19th hole and you just finished the perfect round of golf, complete with a hole-in-one! ]]> http://www.crgiftshop.com/golf-furniture-and-decor/feed/ http://www.crgiftshop.com/making-your-wedding-dress/ http://www.crgiftshop.com/making-your-wedding-dress/#comments Wed, 16 Jul 2008 21:42:06 +0000 admin http://www.crgiftshop.com/?p=10 If you’re a particularly handy woman with a sewing machine and fabric, the best wedding dress for your big day may come from your own handiwork rather than off of the rack at the local bridal shop. As the prices of wedding dresses continue to rise, making a dress is becoming a cheap and easy way to create the custom dress you’ve wanted to walk down the aisle in. Of course if you are not handy but lucky you can get a friend or relative to make your gown as a wedding gift. Either way handmade tends to produce a unique dress at a fraction of the cost.

Many craft stores now carry clothing patterns that can be purchased for making wedding dresses. These kits and the associated fabric can be less expensive than even the least expensive bargain dress from the major bridal outlets that advertise their low prices on television. Choosing your own fabrics can ensure that the dress will fit your skin and your figure without causing too much stress on your body or hinder your ability to walk down the aisle.

The biggest benefit of making your own wedding dress can be in the fit of the dress. Instead of having to go to a designer to tailor your dress possibly several times over the period between buying the dress and the wedding day, you can easily take in or let out certain areas of the dress to fit your body. This, combined with the cost savings, can drive you to decide to make your own wedding dress.
