Power Sports Gifts For Your Someone Special

By Jan Carroll

If you are looking for a gift for someone who loves to ride a motorcycle, ATV, dirt bike, off-roading, sport bike, we offer great gear, clothing, helmets, accessories and much more for the enthusiast in your life.

If they love the feel of the open road, the joy of the ride, the thrill of the pace, everything power sports than this is for them.

But before I go into that I have a story to tell you.

The first few years I was in high school there was a rock band that lived in a small house next door to the school. Some of us from school became friends with them. We would hang out and listen to them practice, play sports and just generally hang out. This place became fairly well known as they played in clubs so the mix of people visiting started to vary.

Telling you this is like watching a movie in my mind.

This particular day a guy rode up on a Norton. I had never seen one before. My only experience with a motorcycle was when I was 13 and a friend took me for a ride on his Honda. This Norton was way more powerful than the Honda. It looked, and sounded, more powerful.

Oh I had to get a ride on that!

I went to one of the band members and asked if they would introduce me to the Norton rider, which they did. We stood and chatted for awhile. I told him about my ride on the Honda and how it made a motorcycle lover instantly. He offered to take me for a ride. It was wonderful. The feel of the bike, so powerful, the wind in my hair, the speed, just everything. We became good friends.

One day during the summer when I was at the bands house he came by and offered to teach me how to drive it.

Drive a Norton… you bet!

So we went off the a secluded parcel of land that had trails. This was a good place to learn where I would not get hurt and I couldn’t hurt anyone.

The first issue was holding the bike up. At five foot five inches and about 110 pounds I was no match for the weight on the bike. He patiently showed me how to balance it. I mean you have to stop at some point 🙂 He showed me how to change gears, how to brake, and how to start it. Starting the bike was another fun part because I didn’t have much power in my thin leg. I tried over and over again. Finally…

The bike started with a huge roar.

I was very pleased that I actually got the bike started on my own. Now we were finally ready for me to try to drive it. I was a bit nervous, but I wasn’t scared, I was just so excited.

He didn’t want to sit on the bike because he felt the balance of his weight would be a bit much right off the bat. The first time I drove very slowly with him walking beside me so he could help if I ran into any trouble. After I mastered that he let me go faster, changing gears, but never far out of his sight. By the end of the day he was ready to ride with me and off we went.

I was in love.

To have control over this masterpiece of power. To feel the bike, and our bodies, move in sync as we went around corners. The control, but also the freedom, was wonderful.

After all these years I remember this like it was yesterday and yet I can’t remember the guys name, yet I do remember the bike name.

From that point on I was determined that someday I would buy a big bike, like a Harley. I haven’t fulfilled that on my bucket list yet, but I did buy one stock of Harley Davidson. So I am ‘sort of’ an owner. That will have to do for now.

To this day I turn my head every time I hear a motorcycle.

If your someone who has everything is a lover of bikes too there are so many great gifts you can give them. Get the present that they can enjoy before it’s time to dust off the snowmobile (though I bet he would still try to ride in the snow 🙂

A Gift That Will Thrill Pool Players

By Jan Carroll

I love pool. It started when I was about 15. A friend of mine took me to his parent’s house and there was a poolroom. I had never played. We spent many hours playing, though I must say, at least for me, it was playing badly.

When you don't have the room a fold away pool table is perfect

It was there I started my long passion for pool.

In my late 20’s a lawyer friend and I were talking and we discovered we both loved pool. She took me to a few of her favorite places and showed me how to do some really cool shots. She was a shark. I learned a lot from her.

Through the years I have spent countless hours playing pool. Along the way I got pretty good so I spent less time watching and more time playing 🙂

But life situations change and hanging out at pubs so I could play pool became less as other things became more important.

But I missed playing pool.

I always wanted a pool table, but I haven’t lived in a home that would allow the space needed for a table. Well I suppose I could empty the bedroom and put a pool table in there, but I don’t think Billy and I could fit on the living room couch to sleep.

Umbrellas Are Not Just To Keep You Dry Anymore

By Jan Carroll

I live in the part of Canada that receives a lot of rain, and I mean a lot of rain. During the summer you will hear people say “in Vancouver you don’t tan you rust” because of the rain.

But we are a hardy bunch and that never stops us from venturing outdoors.

The history of umbrellas is very interesting. Briefly, the earliest appearance of an umbrella was a simple palm leaf umbrella and actually related to how wealthy you were, to modern times when umbellas are just a general accessory. Advancements in technology enabled umbrellas to grow becoming one of the most common ways to protect ourselves from rain.

There are so many different styles, colors and patterns of umbrellas.

Check out the Van Gogh Irises Umbrella

What you will find here are people with a varied selection of umbrellas. Big ones for the winter rains, lighter ones for the spring rains, all in various colors and styles. There is also another type of umbrella that is used to shield folks from the blaring sun.

Yes we love our umbrellas.

I can remember one birthday getting an umbrella covered in cats. I love cats. I became quite known for that umbrella so people would recognize me before they even saw my face. That was quite fun. I actually still have it, though it’s not in the best of shape after 20 odd years.

So as one, of over four million residents, I have an umbrella collection for all sorts of various types of weather, and I am always on the look out for new ones.

Unique and usual umbrellas are fun!

Even in bad weather if you have a fun umbrealla it can make a wet and dark day happy. Some of the kids umbrellas are great fun. Even though they are made for kids, adults would love them too. It puts a smile on your face on any dark day.

So when it comes to finding a gift for someone keep in mind the umbrella. It’s not just for covering anymore, as you can see from the ones I just mentioned, but they are also a fashion statement, or a statement of what you like (whether an animal, sports team, etc.).

Finding a gift for someone who has everything is a lot like online dating

By Jan Carroll

Sounds strange I know, let me explain.

When someone tries online dating they fill out a profile. They put in the personal information, yes, but they also add their likes and dislikes so they can be matched with someone who is similar.

Well if you think of find a gift for someone who has everything like a profile for online dating you will be way further ahead when you hit the ‘internet highway’ look for a gift.

Here’s just a few examples to determine likes:

* clothes – funky, or high fashion, or casual but cool
* jewelry – classic style, or modern, or bling
* sports – golf or tennis or fitness or billards
* beverages – beer or wine
* gourmet food – surf & turf or steak or lobster or vegan

See what I mean. If you can narrow your search for your particular someone who has everything you are trying to find a special present will help you.

Still skeptical? Well then try our search on our site and you’ll see. You can find it on the top of all our pages.

Go ahead, I will wait 🙂

Talk to the Hand – It’s For You

By Jan Carroll

Twenty years ago when someone was walking down the street talking to themselves, it would cause apprehension as it could be a sign this person was ‘off’ a bit and perhaps should be avoided. Now, we don’t think twice about someone walking chortling merrily along having a conversation with an invisible person. With the proliferation of ear-buds, and blue tooth headsets on mobile phones, conversations can occur easily with no phone device in obvious evidence.

And who hasn’t seen someone on the street, on TV or in a movie use the “Universal” gesture for “let’s connect by phone” or “call me” or “talk soon”… You know the one… It’s kind of like the Vulcan “Live Long and Prosper” hand gesture from Star Trek.

Well now, thanks to the wonders of modern technology, they may actually be talking on the phone, not just talking to themselves! You’ll probably see lots of different hand movements,.

When It Comes To Gift Giving Never Forget Your Much Loved Pet

By Jan Carroll

This is a very personal post.

A pet is a very important part of the family. In some cases a pet may be the only family they have. In other cases the pet is part of the whole family. In all cases we love our pet(s) and want to give them all we can for a healthy and joyful life.

On January 5, 2012 our much loved 18 year old cat KC died. It broke our hearts and still is difficult to deal with even a year later. On such a difficult anniversary I wanted to share some things I think KC would have loved.

Whether you give a toy to your pet, a fence to keep them safe, the best food products, a special bed to keep them warm, please take the time to spoil your pet.

I wish I still had her with me so I could give her everything to make her happy, including my hugs and kisses (oh how she loved the belly kisses I gave her, though she would never admit it LOL).

Share your love with your pet, in all ways, while you can. You can find unique pet items here

I miss you KC…

New Year, New You, A New Year Gift

By Jan Carroll

We all know that one of the biggest New Year’s resolutions is getting fit. We also know that it may only last a month, week, or less at a gym.

But what about something you, or a January birthday gift recipient, could use at home that will help you get fit easily. Here it is!

The Foldaway Resistance Gym

The Foldaway Resistance Gym

This is the resistance exercise machine that provides a total body workout. Combining the strength building capability of several bulkier machines, this deceivingly comprehensive trainer uses three sets of interchangeable elastic bands of increasing resistance to enable 50 different exercises for arms, back, shoulders, legs, and abdominals.

This is not only great for those just starting an exercise regimen, but great for seniors who have limited mobility.

It includes an instructional workout guide and a DVD for a structured exercise regimen. This is a great present for someone’s birthday who is starting a fitness program, or a senior who you know this would help them get stronger and healthier.
