Posted on by

Now here’s a unique holiday gift – Teddy Delivery. There’s even a miniature teddy bear dressed up as Santa. What a cutie! I’m sure this is the kind of gift that will be remembered for years.

Personalized gifts are the rage especially for teens and tweens. And Teddy Delivery has a teddy bear, a card of your choice with your own message, an extra gift if you decide and a free passport. Free shipping in the 50 states right now!

Here’s an example of a gift for an adult:

Father’s Day Activities

Father’s Day in the US is June 21st. Are you ready yet? Here are some ideas to make this day special:

Let Dad Sleep In – Yes, you can give him breakfast in bed, but since many fathers have to wake up early, let him sleep in one day. If not, then go ahead and let the kids jump on the bed!

Breakfast for Champions – Forget about diets, cholestorol and what is healthy. Give him bacon, pancakes, biscuts and gravy and more bacon. Let him eat his favorite foods and lots of it.

Handmade Stuff – Don’t let them fool you, Dads love to see what their children make. Help them make a card, picture or cozy for their soda cans. Let them put their special touches into their work and you’ll see him beaming ear to ear.

Dinner Out or In – Let him decide if he wants to go out to eat, get take out or have a homemade meal. It’s his day after all.

Television Remote Ownership – Give in and let him have the remote for the day. I’m not sure if he’ll chose sports, kungfu movies or the reruns of soap operas. But, I’m sure he’ll be very pleased with being able to switch channels or just watching what he wants.

What are some of the things you do for your fathers on his special day? Do you buy presents?

Happy Easter! We had a pretty unusual day this year because of returning from our vacation late yesterday. Not much of our normal celebrating but at least we got to see some of our family.

I’ll get back to posting giveaways this week and writing my regular blog posts too. Thanks for being patient while I was at Disney World.

Here’s a photo we took at the Magic Kingdom with the Easter Bunnies:

Valentine’s Day doesn’t only have to be about romantic love. If you have children, why not show them you love them too? No need to buy gifts or spend any money on them. I feel there’s too much of that happening with holidays now anyway. There’s other ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day with your children:

  1. Make some decorations together – A Laced Heart,  A Cut-Out Paper Heart and Valentine Paper Chains. Then have fun hanging them up around your home.
  2. Printable Valentine’s Day cards are available for school, for teachers, and for each other.

    3. pancakes

  3. Make and eat some heart shaped food – Pancakes with Maple and Raspberry Sauce, pizza, cut up sandwiches using a SweetBytes Sandwich Crust Cutter- Heart Shape
  4. Spend some time together reading a book, watching a movie like Lady and the Tramp (50th Anniversary Edition), or
    just talking. Be sure to cuddle!
