Should You Give Back To School Gifts To Your Kids?

By Jan Carroll

Gifts for kidsThere are lots of ads coming out these day about Back To School Gifts. I’ve been thinking about this and, maybe I am old school (so to speak), but I never got Back to School Gifts. The school told my parents what I had to have as far as school supplies. Yes you get your kids packbacks, new clothes, supplies, etc. but gifts?

But then I thought, maybe giving when they go Back To School is not the time to give gifts to your kids.

The first week or two of back to school is fun for kids. They were bored by the end of summer, they are happy to get back to school and see their friends, but after a few weeks they are back into the ‘slog’ of school. Right?!

So how do you keep them happy once the initial back to school thrill wears off – well how about rewarding them with a gift?

Yes this sounds like a bribe, but if you think back to your experiences in school, wouldn’t you have liked a gift every now and then to give you the extra ‘push’ to keep going.

Let’s say you give your kid a little gift every month. Save it for day you when your intuition tells you they need a little boost or a reward. Think about how they will feel when they arrive at school with the gift you gave them. Sure they will brag to their friends, but they will also feel more support from you and more of a desire to try harder.

Is ‘back to school’ gift giving bribery, no. It’s just another way to show support for your kids, along with all the other things you do, through some of the toughest years of their lives.

Have a look at our unqiue gifts for kids page here for some great ideas:

These gits for kids, don’t have to be huge – they can be fun small gifts. Just something that will perk them up – bring them a smile.

Girls Just Want To Have Fun – And I Do Adding Gifts On This Page!

By Jan Carroll

One of the site pages I love working on is “Fun Gifts For The Woman Who Has Everything”. It’s really enjoyable [fun] to look for these fun gifts because I can include whacky, adventurous and wild stuff that falls a bit outside gift categories on other pages. And as Cyndi Lauper says – Girls Just Want To Have Fun! (watch the video  here if you wish).

So, when I pick out the gifts for this page, they have to pass my, “GJWTHFun” test. Hey, what’s not to love about a pair of “Monty Python Killer Rabbit Slippers”? Or how about spicing up her life with some Private Dance Lessons or give her a gift to go to motorcycle school? Just a taste of the fun stuff you’ll find there.

If you are looking for some really ‘fun’ gifts for the woman in your life this is the place to go http://forsomeonewhohaseverything.com/Fun-Gifts-For-Her.html.

Of course I am always updating so there will be more!

Thanksgiving Day 2012

By Jan Carroll

Autumn 2012

November 22, our friends in the US will be celebrating Thanksgiving. In Canada, our Thanksgiving is in October. This is due in part to our earlier harvest and in part to our historical association with British customs. Their harvest commences with Lammas Day (August 1st) and ends at the autumn equinox. Regardless of when or where it is, Thanksgiving is a centuries old celebration of giving thanks at harvest time for our blessings.

As we give thanks for our blessings this year, we will also be thinking of those who are not safe and warm like us. Many are facing major challenges providing a meal or roof over their head for their family this Thanksgiving. The many whose lives have been smashed by Hurricane Sandy are of course very much in our thoughts at this time. We have seen in the news so much devastation and many tales of courage and determination.

And let’s not forget others who have been crushed by past disasters and still not recovered or events not as obvious but just as catastrophic that are the result of economic storms…

And so we give thanks for our blessings. Even if we don’t have much, we give thanks for our warmth, full bellies and safety and consider ourselves fortunate as we wish for the best, for those who do not have these things this Thanksgiving.

And after we give thanks then what we do?

Well we watch Football of course…And then we go shopping!

I know, I know…It would be crass to segue from giving thanks and feeling concern for those who are suffering, into a promo. So I won’t. Instead I would like to take the opportunity to wish you and yours the very best for this Thanksgiving and many blessings.

Happy Thanksgiving,

Jan

New Feature To Help You In Your Gift Search

By Jan Carroll

My followers know that I am endlessly tweaking the site with new features to make your visits more enjoyable and to help you find unique gifts for your someone special in your life.  The last enhancement, the ‘window display’, is still ongoing as it takes so much time. You can see more info about it here here. I plan to do a video soon!

The new feature I am adding to the site looks like this.  It has a special feature when you put your mouse over it 🙂

Helpful Hint: There are many flash sales that go on that you probably don’t hear about because some last only 1 day or less. Drop me a note and I’ll add you to my notification list so you’ll be ‘in the know’!

 

This is a ‘feature’ that will provide my personal comments and suggestions that will help you in your gift search.

It’s still new, I just started yesterday, but you can find them sprinkled throughout the site with more being added daily.

My goal is to help make the make the site ‘more helpful’ and make it easier to find what you are looking for when you arrive at our site AND to give you great “Hints” that will help you decide what gift you should give your special someone in your life when you are struggling to find one.

If you need help drop me a note on live chat or if I am online you can ask me directly. You can also just ping me and say hi. I would love to chat with you!

Gift Guide Gurl Invades Twitter

By Jan Carroll

Join GiftGuideGurl@ twitterLet’s keep this short and tweet (pun intended)…

Twitter has been a big important part of social networking for over 6 years now, but I really haven’t been a part of it (much) lately. I did create a personal account back on 2009, and followed a bunch of folks and had some followers too, but the stream of tweets were running down my screen so fast I couldn’t keep up reading, let alone get a word in (or tweet in) edgewise as the expression goes (like when Justin Bieber sent out a tweet and the tweets back to him were so fast you couldn’t read them, and he sure couldn’t answer them – see the article about that here  ). Well mine sure didn’t go THAT fast, but you get my drift.

Guess you know where this is leading… I decided to get onboard again, give it another go, so I set up a Twitter account for my alter ego, ‘Gift Guide Gurl’. Note the spelling of ‘gurl’. I’d be thrilled to bits if you’d follow me, and I can follow you. We’ll share adventures in 140 characters or less (puts the kibosh to my usual blather!)

You can tell by my pic, to the left, what kind of tweets you can expect 🙂

So here’s looking @ you: http://twitter.com/giftguidegurl

My Goal Is To Help You Find Unique Gifts For Someone Who Has Everything

By Jan Carroll

Back in March our site was hit by a search engine update. We dropped from page one to – well I couldn’t find the site – so you couldn’t either.

It was a tough blow but I have worked hard updating the site, creating new pages, and doing all sorts of new things in the hope you will find the gifts that you are searching for. I spent, and spend, 7 days a week / 12 hours a day working the site.  It is my passion.

SO I have been checking to see IF we might be gaining some ground. Well I see sites, and blog posts, that were last updated 6 years ago, 3 years ago, et al showing up way before us. It is incredibly frustrating. It’s not so much that I ‘need’ the site to be #1.  It’s more that I work so hard to find gifts, in all sorts of categories, that you will like and help you find that perfect gift for your someone special.

I don’t want to come off as whining… (or whingeing as Aussies say), it’s just hard not to when I put my heart and soul into this…

Anyways, if you feel this site is worth the work I do, find it beneficial, and want to give a boost of help you can:

1. Send me a message of support.  Won’t help searches but will help me to keep up the good fight and I would be more than thrilled to add your message to the site.
2. Like us on Facebook here https://www.facebook.com/#!/giftsforsomeonewhohaseverything
3. Like us on Google + on our home page  http://www.forsomeonewhohaseverything.com/
4. Blog Feed https://www.forsomeonewhohaseverything.com/blog/feed

Thanks for reading this …You must be a connoisseur fine whine 🙂

Jan

p.s. As you can tell I am very passionate about this site. Thanks for listening & your support.
