Summer Love: Sunshine, Rare Orchid flowers, A bottle of champagne - together with a Gobshite

Someone stated: “In everyone’s past there’s a love they never got over along with a summer time when it started.”

Wrong! So far as I’m concerned, there’s many love I haven’t got over however, and not one of them started in summer time. One started in spring, one out of the fall, and some thing within the pitch-dark depths of winter. An additional started in summertime, ok, but I’ve well and truly got over that miserable p…..

If existence was nice neat, then each and every romance would start in spring, achieve summer time and - if it is likely to last - survive what are the Men and women in america call ‘the fall’, then your icy times of winter, and carry on powerful by means of all the seasons and each type of weather that character, existence, economic crises and moms-in-law can throw in world wide web marketing and advertising. But life’s not neat and our way of life usually neglect to rhyme making use of the seasons.

That point I acquired hooked within the summer time, things began nicely. It had been the merry month of June, and, despite the truth that it had been Ireland, the sun’s rays was shining. Yer guy, who had been an incredible looker, drove to some romantic spots near Dublin. But he didn’t just make use of the weather. He needed benefit of poor small me.

One balmy evening, soon soon after we met, he drove lower to some blissful beach in Co Wicklow that’s stashed (and most likely private) and as we removed off coupled having a go swimming (no-one around to place us there within our naked glory) he created a bottle of champagne (the very best, obviously - a Veuve Clicquot). He then brought me into some sand-dunes, pretending to need to take into account the flowers. I had been impressed. A tough guy (he was still being playing rugby also as on first-title terms with BOD), he wasn’t any pansy. But he clearly had room for some of the considerably softer feelings and was filled with the romance that people ladies enjoy.

The issue is he soon had me not only bending lower - to check out a “rare orchid”, d’ye know - but laying flat on my modest back on the mattress of his flowers. Rapidly he was laying on the best of me, obstructing the summer time sun.

Don’t misunderstand me. That wasn’t an concern. Following a bracing go swimming, a lively little session one of the flowers within the sand-dunes because the June sun warmed our willing flesh … summer time love at its best.

The problem is that, after a lot more days from the joys of summer time enjoy, I been borrowing his cell phone and spotted not merely one but 3 texts to a variety of targets, all suggesting an identical jaunt to the identical romantic spots he’d taken me to (and, in a single situation, taken me at). The p…. most likely demonstrated people fools the identical “rare orchid” and warmed them on the identical sunlit mattress of flowers.

I performed along for that relaxation of this evening and in to the evening (he was proficient at you-know-what, within the end), nevertheless the next morning I sent him their own small text - and not saw him again (except once, inside the vehicle with a couple of floozie, due to the fact they headed, most most likely, for Co Wicklow).

On that day after i spotted his philandering texts was appropriate inside the finish of August, and also the finish of summer time. As Justin Timberlake sang it,

The summer’s over for every single of us

But that does not mean we ought to give on enjoy

Wrong again! For me personally, the summer time was over and also the time had come that i can give on that little love adventure.

As soon as I sent him the written text, incidentally, I went lower towards the local off-licence. Then, since the sun was still becoming shining, I spent the mid-day finding a tan within the garden, drinking a pleasant bottle of Veuve Clicquot …

7 Perennial Hot Mens Gifts.

Friday, November 6th, 2009

I spend my time writing about mens gifts and mens gift ideas. I get asked a lot about “what gift do I buy for the man who has everything”. He has lots of money so anything he wants he buys.

Now of course there’s lots of men with enough money to buy whatever they want, and when birthday time or Christmas time comes he’s got it all. Men like this don’t drop hints about what they would like because if they want it they buy it. Whatever he wants he’s got.

Now of course there’s always men who buy whatever they want up to a certain cost. But over that they can’t afford it. So if your man is like that you need to find out what it is he wants and see if YOU can afford it, often if he can’t you can’t either. But if there are things he wants that he can’t quite afford he will probably drop hints.

But for a moment lets assume that he’s got all he wants. There’s his birthday coming up, or maybe it’s Christmas coming up, and you really want to get him a hot gift anyway. Something he’ll love even if he’s got everything.

Here’s 7 ideas for gifts for him. He may love all of them, he may love none of them, but I doubt it. There’ll be at least one gift for him there that he’ll love. Some are extremely expensive and some aren’t.

1. Lingerie. Now it isn’t entirely a unique gift idea but it’s one that is almost guaranteed to work. Men love lingerie. Worn by their women of course. I have seen lots of lists of favorite gifts for men and there is one common gift theme. Lingerie is always up there.

A women can’t ever have enough hot lingerie as far as her man is concerned, more is always fine. It’s a can’t fail mens gift idea, as long as you wear it for him.

And there is wonderful lingerie available for women of any size, so girls it’s no excuse to say that you’re a little large. If your man loves you large he’ll love you large and looking great in some sexy lingerie.

2. Buy him an adventure gift. Not all men love adventure, but most do. And believe it or not there are companies that cater directly to that with all sorts of adventure. Things that a man with a death wish will love right down to subtle adventure like a romantic spa for 2 at a beautiful remote location.

So would your man love to try white water rafting? How about parachute jumping? Or maybe he’d love to try a Zero-G ride like the astronauts do? Perhaps drive a supercar or a tank? There’s so many different options.

3. An eco holiday. There is a growing worldwide movement to charity and volunteer and ecological work and travel. Rather than just buy him a holiday in Europe, which is a little ho hum, why not buy him some volunteer travel with a difference. There are lots of companies which offer adventure travel with a twist, volunteer work that helps out those less fortunate than ourselves, both people and animals and the environment.

Maybe he’d love being on a research vessel in the waters of Mexico counting turtles or in the African wild measuring animal distribution. There’s a whole host of exotic destinations with all sorts of voluntary activities involved. It’s exciting, it’s fun, it’s very different. It’s adventurous.

It isn’t cheap, but it’s a wonderful holiday and one he won’t forget for a long time.

4. Chinese art. I love Chinese art, I have a stack of it at home, but then I lived in China for while. Yixing teapots for example are wonderful and very different. Not expensive but unlike anything that he’s probably seen before. Chinese art makes any house look great.

And Chinese art isn’t expensive at all, and compared to the equivalent in Western art is extremely cheap.

5. An elephant painting. Another one for the man who likes his art. Painted by a real Asian elephant on paper which is made from elephant dung. Now before you wonder if I’ve gone mad check it out. The elephants really do the painting, I have a video of it on my website. And believe it or not they paint recognizable objects. The paintings look great, are extremely inexpensive, and would make a great artwork to hang near the table to stimulate some evening conversation with his friends.

6. Then of course there really is the man who has it all, and wants for nothing. Why not buy him a whale. Of course it’s hard to transport and wrap a whale, so that’s not quite how it works. You find an organization like the Hebridean Whale and Dolphin trust which identifies and tracks real individual whales in the ocean. And you can name his own whale or dolphin just for him, so he knows that he has his own whale out there.

And the money goes to help protect the whales, and it’s a unique mens gift idea too.

There you have it. 6 suggestions for unique and memorable mens gift ideas. From around $10 right up to very very expensive. It’s up to you now.

No more excuses, no reason to say “I have no idea what to buy him for his birthday” now.

Are You Totally Stuck For A Christmas Gift For Your Man This Year?

Sunday, October 25th, 2009
Scentsy | Flameless Candles | Wickless Candles

It’s not too long till Christmas. Have you managed to find a brilliant Christmas gift for the man in your life? One of the hardest things to do is to find great Christmas gift ideas for men. Do you find that every Christmas or birthday you struggle to find a great gift idea for the man in your life?

There’s so many women who approach the problem the wrong way. They head down to the store and wander around looking for new ideas for men’s gifts. There’s stacks of stuff on the shelves so surely there has to be something there that he is going to love.

Have you done this? Have you spent hours walking around looking for inspiration for a great men’s gift? Are you still totally stuck for a gift for your man this Christmas?

If you’ve been looking in the store you’re in the wrong place. Every day there’s hundreds of great new products coming out and most of them would probably make a brilliant Christmas gift idea for the right man. All sorts of new, innovative and unique products that any man would love.

But although these products are being released they won’t be found in the stores for a long time and if you’re in the store you’re not likely to see them.

The Internet is where so many of the best gifts are found right now. All those new and innovative products I just mentioned will appear on the Internet way before they ever get to the shelves of your local store.

When something hits the market it’s on the internet in days and sometimes in hours. It’s reviewed, talked about, photographed and discussed. It’s available immediately on-line and can be delivered to your door. You can shop without leaving the house and usually you’ll get a better deal than you would if you waited days, weeks or even months for it to appear in the stores.

Here is an example. I’ve been reviewing a new product which is on the Internet but which you won’t find in your local store. It sells for less than $20, he will love it and it will become as indispensable to your man as his cell phone is now.

It’s probably one of the top 5 Christmas gifts for men for the year. But I doubt you’ll find it on the shelves of your local store.

If you’re looking for inspiration when searching for a gift for a man this Christmas do your gift shopping online. Most of the product there you’ll never find any other way and you can have them delivered to your front door.

Gift shopping is online. Visit my website to find stacks of great Christmas gift ideas for men you won’t find on the shelves.

Stuck For A Great Idea For A Mens Gift?

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

I spend a large part of my day looking for great mens gift ideas and so I know exactly what it’s like. It’s not easy coming up with great ideas for a gift for your favorite man.

There’s no doubt that it can be difficult to buy for men. They may have everything they want, or they may really not care that much for birthdays or Christmas.

All true perhaps, but there’s still no doubt that for most men a really great gift idea will set his juices going regardless. He’ll still love a great gift no matter what he tells you.

Know what his interests are and you’ve got the right place to start looking for a unique gift idea that really will appeal to him. There’s nothing new to that.

And of course if you know your man well you already know his interests well.

But even though you may know his interests it may still surprise you to find out what there is out there to suit a man with those interests. You see modern technology moves so fast that what was new last week is old news this week, something better has probably come out that he’d love.

What to do about this? Find out what websites cater to men with the same interests and monitor them. They will, most likely, be worth it. You’ll see all sorts of new ideas that come out for products for men with similar interests.

I’ll give you an example. One of the most popular pastimes in the world is gardening. More people love gardening than just about anything else. And as someone who looks at gift ideas each day I thought I’d seen just about every gardening gift idea there was.

But I was wrong again. I watch a number of websites that feature products that would appeal to gardeners. And I found a new idea that was just tops.

Ideal for gardeners.

It’s a time lapse camera. It takes pictures of his garden every little while and then he can view them as a time lapse sequence when it’s finished. Watch his entire garden grow perhaps, or maybe just watch one flower come into bloom.

It’s a great idea and I’d never have thought of it. Would you?

Now it’s a great idea for a man who loves gardening, but if your man doesn’t then it’s not for him. But the principle is the same.

If you want great gift ideas for your man know his interests, find the websites that cater to those interests, and keep looking at them.

Try it for a while, you’ll be surprised at how many hot mens gift ideas you can come up with.

My Favorite 40th Birthday Party Gifts

Saturday, April 25th, 2009
Scentsy | Flameless Candles | Wickless Candles

It happens to all of us, if we’re luck, and it would appear that it’s happening to someone special in your life as well. He’s turning 40. You may not be, but it can be tricky to get just the right gift for him. Sit back, and have a listen, as I may be able to help you out.

Now, it doesn’t matter how young they think they are, turning 40 is a big deal for most guys. Few will admit, and even fewer will admit it to themselves. That’s OK. The best you can do, is help to make it a great day with a great gift. While trying to think like a 40 year old guy, is pretty much impossible unless your a 40 year old guy, I should be able to help. While I’m a little past that number, it’s not that long ago, that I can’t remember it.

While I never received the gifts I’m about to mention, they are certainly gifts I would have enjoyed. These are only suggestions, so feel free to take these gift ideas as just a starting point. Anything I’m about to suggest can be taken and twisted or misconstrued to suit the tastes and likings of 40 year old male in your gift shopping sights.

Let’s start out a little basic and primal. Hard to go wrong with that. Why not a beer gift basket. Funny yep, but very appropriate (assuming your guy likes beer). Now remember to use your imagination a little bit here, and have fun with this one. Gift baskets to have to be the all cute and frilly with bows and taffeta like you’d traditionally see. They don’t even have to be baskets. Cooler bags shaped like mini fridges, or baskets in the shape of beer cases would work here.

Maybe, instead you should try to heighten his senses. No, not in the way your thinking of. But I mean by physically getting him off the ground. Hang gliding off the side of a cliff is sure to be a trip no one forgets. Perhaps a little bungee jumping would make him feel like a teenager again? Rock climbing can be fun as well.

There are rides over most major cities that can be arranged. For something even more exciting, how about a ride over some famous landmarks or landscapes. The Grand Canyon, Mount Rushmore, and Niagra Falls come to mind. You may want to skip buzzing the White House in one, as those secret service guys don’t have much in the way of a sense of humour.

And now for something a little more down to earth in the out of the ordinary category. How about a city tour on a Segway. You know, those 2 wheeled like scooters that are the favorites of geeks everywhere. I think the guides actually refer to the trips as urban adventure tours.

Whatever you pick, it’s bound to be memorable, just because it’s a 40th. Adding a unique gift, with a twist or two, just makes it even more so. I can guarantee you he will be thankful for making a big deal of his birthday, even if he wasn’t.
