The Christmas countdown is underway and soon, for many, our homes will be graced with the traditional Christmas tree, garland and precious Christmas decorations collected over the year.
No doubt, seeing our children's faces light up with excitement, as they tell us about their Christmas wish list deeply touches our hearts. Giving our child a gift that will thrill and excite them on Christmas morning often keeps us busy searching for hot Christmas toys.
If you find yourself searching for hot Christmas toys for a child on your Christmas gift list, then take a look at the selection of hot toys on our new web page hot Christmas toys. Perhaps one of the hottest Christmas toys this holiday season is the endearing and enchanting Elmo Live.
Elmo Live will touch the heart of any child with his great animation design. His laughing, giggling, joke telling, hands that wave, bobbing head and sneezing are a few of the things that make him truly special.
In fact, Elmo Live would make a great gift for an elderly person or someone with dementia. Animation gifts frequently bring smiles and laughter to the faces of an elderly loved one. My Dad suffers from dementia and his favorite gift last Christmas was an animated elf my sister gave to him. My brother is giving him Elmo Live this Christmas season and I know he will be thrilled.
Have a blessed day!

Today I spent some time thinking about indulgence gifts. These are gifts that are great for helping to create feelings, which uplift and soothe our stressful lives. When I think back to my childhood days, it amazes me how startling different life is now.
One particular change in lifestyle that came to mind was TV viewing. When growing up, TV viewing was limited to three channels. Which we were fortunate enough to receive via a huge antenna mounted on the roof of the house. My brothers would sometimes climb upon the roof and move the antenna to help make the TV reception clearer.
Digital television is now a major feature in most homes via cable or satellite. From a handful of channels we now have a whopping number available with the click of a remote. Many times, despite the endless variety of channels available, we still claim we cannot find anything to watch.
Our fast pace lifestyle promoting stress probably plays a part in the restlessness and unsatisfied feelings that sometimes frequent our lives. Remote control flipping is a common pattern pursued by some people. When our lives are stressed it is sometimes hard to find contentment in the daily surroundings of life.
Indulgence gifts are great to give someone who needs a special uplift or a soothing touch in their life. These gifts can pamper our sense of smell, taste, touch, sight or sound helping to create harmony in our lives.
I added a webpage to the site entitled Indulgence Gifts. Believe you may find these gifts would be a great way to indulge a loved one in your life.

Today was filled with excitement because my sister's vacation leave started. We have plans to spend time together next week. Whenever my sister and I are together, we always have a great time.
Found myself going down memory lane today. I recalled a special vacation my sister and I took one year to Williamsburg, Virginia. We both have a love for historical settings and antiques. This was the perfect trip for us. Since my sister had never been to Washington, D.C., we took a guided tour trip into D.C. Every time we think about that vacation we are flooded with cherished memories.
Did some work today on the website. This time I added the webpage Fragrance Gift Sets. Fragrance gifts are very popular gifts. It is easily recognized why this gift is so popular. Most people love fragrances, unless of course, they have allergy problems related to fragrances.
I believe fragrance gift sets make especially great gifts to pamper your loved one. Your loved one can enjoy the special aroma of the fragrance you selected for them via multiple items. Items in fragrance gift sets vary, but most sets contain products that are commonly used.
On the Fragrance Gift Sets webpage you will find an array of different gift sets for both women and men. One of the great things about giving a fragrance gift is whenever your loved one reaches for your special fragrance they will be reminded of you.
Have a blessed and enjoyable day!
Cheers,
Gin

It has been awhile since I have blogged. This largely has been due to business projects and a severe health issue my mom experienced. After frequent doctor visits and various tests, she was diagnosed with uterine cancer. A couple of months ago she underwent a hysterectomy. After the surgery the surgeon expressed concern there were some indications that the cancer may have spread outside the uterus. The picture he presented was one that did not promise much hope.
Needless to say the next few days spent waiting on the pathology report were long and stressful. When the pathology report came back the Lord blessed us with WONDERFUL news! The cancer was contained to the uterus and Mom did not need any post treatment.
Thought I would share my story as a way of offering encouragement to those who may find themselves in a smiliar situation. Be encouraged knowing there is always hope, even when things may appear hopeless.
A couple of days ago I added two new webpages to the site. The animal lover jewelry webpage contains dog lover jewelry and horse lover jewelry selections. If you have someone on your gift list that loves animals, especially dogs or horses, then be sure to browse this page. The other webpage has a great selection of cat lover jewelry. This page will be particularly appealing to cat owners. People who are cat owners seem to have a fond love for jewelry inspired by their much loved furry friend.
I have plans to add some more webpages to the site in the near future. Be sure to check back, you might find the perfect gift for someone on your holiday gift list.
It is hard to believe that September has arrived. Soon we will begin the excitement and enjoyment of the Christmas season.
Have a blessed day!

Yesterday was a wonderful day. I attended my nephew's wedding. It was a very lovely and endearing event. The wedding party, especially the bride and groom, were breathtakingly lovely and stylish in their wedding attire.
One of the things that captured my attention during the event, was a number of the ladies, in particularly the younger ladies, were wearing lip-gloss. With summer tans and the need to wear little makeup, the lip-gloss was perfect. It gave the appearance of a natural look, which was much more flattering than the overly made-up look.
Here are a few tips to help you decide whether lip-gloss may be right for you.
1. If you have trouble finding a lipstick color that looks good on you, then a lip-gloss might be a great choice. You don't have to fuss about the color too much. It adds just a little color to the lips, which seems to help make the face look more alive. The haggard, pale and drawn look is immediately softened with a lip-gloss.
2. If you have trouble applying makeup, then a lip-gloss is perfect. It is very easy to apply. Unlike lipstick, it can easily be applied with your finger even without a mirror. Another great feature with wearing a lip-gloss is you don't have to worry about getting it on your teeth. You don't even have to put much thought into how it goes on. Somehow, it seems to just go on perfectly.
3. Lip-gloss is great for today's active, fast-paced lifestyle. You can toss it into your purse or backpack, without having to worry about it melting the way a tube of lipstick many times does.
Great Finds For You has a web page devoted to products that pamper. You will find a great lip-gloss that just might be the perfect makeup product to help give you that soft natural look.
Have a blessed day!

A few days ago, I realized I needed to switch the handbag I had been carrying to a tote bag. There just wasn't sufficient room to carry all the items I needed to carry. During the summer I tend to carry extra items in my handbag, such as lotion with sunscreen, sunglasses, a scarf to cover my hair on windy or wet days and … much more! For me, the tote bag is the perfect summer time accessory bag!
During a recent visit to the Accessory Bug website, I found a great tote bag that I thought I'd share with you. The name of the bag is Navy Downtown Faux Ostrich Leather Tote.
This is the perfect tote bag to hold all those summer time extras! I love the pebble finish on the faux leather. It has simple, clean lines with neat stitching details that give it a classic look. The top closure zipper is a great feature on any tote bag because it affords extra protection for the bag's content.
The wonderful folks at Accessory Bug have made available for the Great Finds For You readers a 10% off coupon code: stim08 (expires 31 July 2008).
If you have a special occasion coming up and need a handbag, then checkout Accessory Bug's great assortment. You will love the various designs, shapes, features and value in their extensive handbag inventory.
Have a blessed and enjoyable day!
Blessings,

We would love for you to visit our new online web store, Great Finds Gift Annex specializing in Christian and Inspirational Jewelry. You can preview our web store on our Gift Store Annex web page.
I have been away from my blogging for a few weeks now. Had some projects that required extra time and attention. I'm glad to be back.
Since I last posted, a new webpage has been added to the site. Thought it would be good to add a video that shows how to wrap a gift. You can find the video on the How To Wrap A Gift webpage. It is simple and easy to follow and should be a great asset for those of us who lack great gift-wrapping skills. You might want to bookmark the page, so you can easily access it whenever you need a refresher on gift-wrapping.
Another fairly new addition to the website is the Great Finds Gift Annex webpage. This webpage was added a few weeks back, so you could learn more about our new webstore. The Great Finds Gift Annex is an online store in which we stock and ship the items directly to you from us. At this webstore you will find we specialize in Christian and Inspirational jewelry. We have a small selection of items now in the webstore and should be adding more in the near future. We would love for you to visit our Gift Annex webstore.
Christian and Inspirational jewelry have always been favorites of mine for gift giving. If you are a person of faith, Christian jewelry is a great way to share your faith. It can inspire us and touch our hearts, which makes it wonderful for gift giving.
Inspirational jewelry is another well-loved jewelry category. I find Inspirational jewelry often holds great sentimental value. Years later, we can easily recall who gave us the jewelry and the occasion for which it was given.
Sunday is Father's Day and I would like to take this time to wish all the fathers a wonderful Father's Day. Have a great and blessed day with your Dad!

Since I've been out of pocket for a while, I thought I'd give you an update. Things have been busy due to health issues with loved ones. Mom had cataract surgery and her vision has definitely improved. It has made a huge difference for Mom.
I've also been busy adding inventory to my online store Great Finds Gift Annex. Items in this store are shipped directly to you from us. Recently, I added a lovely assortment of Christian Jewelry, Inspiration Jewelry and Designer Look & Classic Jewelry.
If you've been looking for some jewelry essentials for your jewelry wardrobe, then I would recommend the Black/Silver Designer Inspired Heart Earrings and Necklace Set at Great Finds Gift Annex. The set has a lovely puffed heart pendant and matching earrings with silver tone dots that gives it that true designer inspired look. This jewelry ensemble can be worn with casual attire such as jeans for a trendy look; or it can easily transform your evening attire into a total stunning look. This is the type of jewelry that will be in your jewelry wardrobe for years to come and will be a favorite.
Here's a hint that will help keep your jewelry in great condition. After you have finished wearing the jewelry for the day, take a soft cloth and wipe it off before putting it away. This will remove oils; residues and fingerprints, so the next time you reach for your jewelry it will be shinny and ready for you to enjoy.
Have a blessed and enjoyable day!
Cheers,

Most of us are throughly enjoying the spring season. The dazzling sunshine and luscious landscapes help to renew us. Not only do we enjoy spring, but our pets reap the enjoyment of the season as well. I have noticed my two furry friends are beginning to spend more time outdoors. When Dad and I go to the front porch to enjoy the fresh air and landscape, both our dogs insist on joining us.
Since our furry friends are now spending more time outdoors, thought I'd provide a few pet owners reminders.
* Warm weather is wonderful, but with it comes the need to protect our furry friends from the pesky fleas and ticks. I use Frontline for flea and tick prevention on my dogs. Be sure to consult with your vet on the right product for your pet.
* Annual exams and shots are very important to keep our pets healthy. Check with your vet or pets records to determine due date for exams and shots.
* Heartworms can be a serious and fatal problem for pets. Be proactive and use heartworm prevention medicine to keep your pet healthy. If you do not have your pet on heartworm prevention medicine, then schedule a visit with your vet.
There is no doubt our furry friends are a big part of our family and lives. We love to be reminded of our pets. You can find some wonderful cat lover gifts and dog lover gifts at Great Finds For You. If you have a friend or loved one who is a pet owner or enjoys animals, then animal themed gifts make wonderful gifts for them.
Have a blessed and enjoyable day!

Gin
