If you are like many people, your favorite Christmas gifts actually become your favorites long after Christmas. After the merriment is over, and everyone has gone home and you sift through the wrapping paper, half eaten cookies and remnants of what was a great Christmas.
These gifts are not always a huge hit when you first open them, but as time goes on and they are used over and over again you realize how important and functional they are. Take, for instance, a server set. That's not something you'll ooh and ahh over when its opened, but as the years go on and you use it to service friends, family and others at dinners and housewarming parties, you'll come to realize how great of an idea it is.
Decorations are also like this. Getting a historical world map, a globe or a piece of antique replica furniture might not sound exciting, but after you have had time to use them and see how they enrich your life, their real value becomes clear.
So, take some time to consider this as you choose your gifts. Authentic Models makes many unique replica furniture pieces, maps and other items that have stood the test of time. With such a high level of detail, they will be things that last decades or more and you'll never grow tired of them.
Unlike a DVD player or a computer that will become obsolete in a year or two, these gift items will plow ahead into the future with you, as part of your life. Choose a few of these great gifts that won't bore anyone, for your closest friends and family members today.

Practical Gift Ideas
Searching for practical gift ideas today is not very easy because most items rely on multiple features or technology as a selling point. But if you look a little deeper, you'll find some practical gifts that make sense, and are actually a lot of fun.
Need a few ideas to get you started? How about a perpetual calendar? It keeps track of the date and never needs to be changed. You'll find wooden block calendars for the desktop at work or at home. They won't run out of batteries and don't need to be programmed. They come in versatile perpetual calendar frames as well, combining two essentials for anyone's desktop.

Small pieces of furniture are another idea. End tables, lamp tables and wine racks always have a place in a home. Along with barware and wine boxes, these are stylish, thoughtful and practical gift ideas for adults. If you know a cigar lover, consider a humidor, cigar cutter or ashtray made of marble.
You can also come up with more ideas by searching for items that people use everyday in their homes but may not have the time to buy. Oversized clocks, home decor, paintings and wall hangings are things people really need to decorate or update their homes.
Your practical gift doesn't have to be boring or too common to be useful.

Saving Money on Coworker Gifts
Choosing the right co worker gifts requires some forethought and skill. But this year, if you are like so many of us who feel lucky just to have a job, you are more concerned about saving a few dollars on those gifts.
So, if you have a number of co-workers you are buying gifts for be sure to plan ahead and get started on your shopping early. Usually, a few weeks before black Friday you will start to see some great deals on discount items, just to clear out some room for the holiday rush. Take advantage of these discounts and consider a few more short cuts to save more money when buying co-worker gifts.
#1 Look for items that come in bulk packages or buy items in bulk and give them to everyone. Things like candles, candy, and even statues or bookends are available in bulk quantities. You'll always get a bigger discount when you opt to buy more, rather than buying one item here, and one item there. If you are shopping online for coworker gifts, you'll also save on the shipping costs.
#2 Spend cheap but don't buy cheap. There are great items that are just as expensive looking and well-made as those really costly gifts you see everywhere. However, because of overstocks, or lower demand for some reason, the price is not as high. Focus on these items and consider getting them engraved to make them more original.
#3 Choose wisely in regards to who you buy for and how much you spend. It doesn't make sense to spend a lot on the intern, or your boss' secretary, it will make sense to spend more on your boss, or the new manager you'll be working with after the holidays.
Always select nice things you won't find in box stores to avoid getting something someone else in the office might buy. There are many designer items from manufacturers who focus on inter-office gifts as their niche. These items are perfect for coworker gifts. You'll find accessories from Bey Berk and Dacasso are among the best.

Corporate Christmas Gift Basket Ideas
This year, give something special to your employees, boss or coworker. A corporate Christmas gift basket is one of those great ideas. It contains only the things that you want to give. This makes the gift really special and unique. All the items in the basket can be engraved, and you don't need to actually give a basket that holds the items. Instead, you can simply package them together or give them as a set.
Corporate Desk Sets - These make the best corporate gift baskets for Christmas, Secretary's day or any other occasion. That's because they are office related and will be used at work or at home. They are a symbol of respect and achievement as well. Giving someone a desk set says, "You've arrived!". It's a gift of appreciation that will last quite a long time. See our Corporate Gifts
Choose a handmade leather desk set by Dacasso, or one of the many marble, wood or glass desk sets available from other top vendors. They really say success in so many ways. Each comes pre-packaged inside of a custom box as well for easier gift giving. That's your corporate gift basket right there!
Wine Gift Sets and Bar Ware - Another fine choice for a corporate gift basket is the wine set, or bar ware collection. There's many ways to go about this choice. You can pick and choose separate pieces of bar ware like corkscrews, wine openers, and even martini shakers. Or, you can purchase the set together as one item. Either way, this is another option to the traditional corporate Christmas gift basket.
Getting them engraved. This is a great idea but plan ahead. Leave an additional week or two to have your item custom engraved. It may take longer in some cases. At most stores, the engraving is free, but sometimes an additional cost is required.

Bar Ware is a Classic Gift
Bar ware is becoming a popular gift choice, especially in corporate offices. It has long been a tradition at weddings, but recently that has spilled over into the workplace.
Bar ware like coasters, wine glasses and wine gift baskets are considered in great taste, but the reason they are more popular now might be due to their quality. One store manager, who sells these items said that people like to receive things like this because they can tell they are well made. They may not even drink very often, as drinking is not in fashion like it once was. However, the item still is a great gift. It's a socially acceptable, sophisticated gift idea and it makes people feel good.
These items are often engraved with a name and date, which makes them more special and individual. That also makes the gift more appealing.
In addition, the items are typically made with real marble, crystal or leather. Things like that are hard to come by today because bog box stores have stripped all the expensive parts and accessories from the items they sell in order to reduce the price and sell in volume.
When you purchase a piece of bar ware, these added touches are included. Now, they are considered a luxury. Even the stainless steel bar tool sets, with real stainless and heavy duty construction are very superior to the items you find in a retail outlet. Just holding them and using them you can tell they are better made.
Some of the more popular bar ware gifts include metal coasters, wine boxes and crystal wine decanters. See a wine console and bar ware gifts here.

Decorating Small Rooms and Spaces
It might seem impossible to decorate a small room or limited living space because everything you want just won't fit, literally. However, there are several ways to get the decor and look you want in a very small space.
The first is to simply downsize everything you want and need in that room. This includes tables, desks, even chairs. Instead of a big coffee table, look for end tables, nightstands or just install mounted shelves.
If you need a desk or bureau, there are ways to add them without taking up space. For instance, a mounted desk, one that mounts to your wall, takes up much less room that a standard floor desk of the same size. That’s because the desk legs take up space and sometimes extend beyond the edge of the desk top. Mounting it to the wall not only saves a few precious inches on each side, it frees up the underneath area for a small wastebasket, boxes or anything else.
You can still mount a desktop and be decorative if that’s what you want. Try this small metal desk, which is perfect for limited spaces and small rooms.
It will also help to get creative and make use of dual function items. Folding bars can reduce their size by up to 50%, going from 59 inches wide down to 26 inches or less in some cases. Storage bins that stack will also get some of the clutter up off the ground and organize the closet so you have more floor space to work with.
Follow all thees tricks and your small room will start to feel a little more important, and a bit bigger.

Make Your Own Wedding Invitations
Making your own wedding invitations is something that all soon-to-be brides and grooms consider. However, before you embark on this project, there are several things to consider.
Most make your own wedding invitations involve entering text into a computer program and then printing the included invitations on your home printer. They are often called print-your-own or custom wedding invitations.
While this gives you an instant invitation, the printing process can be difficult. The paper must be centered properly, and you have to pay for the printing ink. Usually, a refill is not necessary unless you have hundreds of invitations to send. Then, you may end up paying more for the ink that you would for the invitations them selves.
That being said, there are several ways to minimize costs and still get the invitations you want.
There are a large selection of printable wedding invitations in just about every style you could hope for.
These invitations come with blank invitations with space to print your own message on them. They also have software that makes it easy to print your wedding invitations at home. Or, just take them to your own printer and have them professionally done. At any office superstore, this won't cost much more than doing it yourself at home, and it will save time, and ensure a better end result.
You can also make your own invitations from different types of paper, but this requires a lot of work and does not ensure as nice a presentation.
For instance the Laura Ashley Butter Cream Jacket Invitation Kit includes envelopes, ribbons and a rich butter cream color paper that is hard to resist. The only thing you need to add is you own printed message, date and location.
So, if you still want to design your own, make sure you have the time to do this, along with everything else. It will help to have Adobe Photoshop and some designs already in mind before you get started.
If you need inspiration check out some wedding designs online or play around with shapes, bells and garland clip art just to get started and to plan your layout. After you have a general idea of what you want, you can build your design, test print it and then run a final printing of your own wedding invitations.
Match them to an envelope and add a ribbon accent or another touch like parchment paper to complete the design.

Deciding on the Wedding Music
"Honey, they're playing our song..." It's a familiar quote and usually one that has roots in the wedding. If you choose your music correctly, someone might just say that at your wedding.
Selecting the right wedding songs is actually fairly complicated for many couples. Everyone has different tastes and favorites so it's hard to please everyone.
You can start by choosing a few of your own favorites and then generating a few ideas for your own first dance. This will probably end up being "your song" so pick one you both find appealing.
Then add some favorite songs of your guests. What are they currently listening to? Is it hip hop, pop, rock, rap, country? Everyone has changing tastes so if you don't know, ask and find out.
Throw in some oldies for the parents and classic rock if anyone still listens to that anymore. Your ceremony's wedding music will be traditional, however the reception music doesn't have to be. Keep it current and more people will get into the celebration and dance.
It's important to have a dollar dance song as well. Here are some recommendations:
All You Really Need Is Love by Brad Paisley, Fool in the Rain by Led Zeppelin, Love Don't Cost a Thing by Jennifer Lopez, and If I had a Million Dollars by the Bare Naked Ladies. There are other wedding songs too, click here to see more songs.
Selecting a DJ will give you access to a wide range of songs right away without having to hunt them all down yourself. Bands will also be able to play just about anything, however today's hits might not sound quite the same. You'll get a lot of energy from a good band, and there's nothing like live music.

Selecting Crystal Gifts
Crystal is a unique and elegant gift. It is higher in quality than glass, because of the way the crystal is made. Crystal statues, figurines, plaques and awards all have definitive qualities that set them apart. The most noticeable is the clarity which is much higher than glass objects. This produces a reflective sparkle and generally makes the crystal award more interesting.
When it comes time to select a crystal gift, make sure to consider a few things. First of all, the award or gift must match the occasion or reflect a certain interest. Crystal globes are often a safe choice because they are worldly and universal in theme and can represent almost any endeavor or interest from traveling to map making.
Another option to consider is engraving. What type of engraving is available. Laser etching is the clearest available and is state-of-the-art. If the engraving costs extra, this is another thing to make note of. Time to engrave is also important.
Finally, make sure your crystal gifts or awards are real crystal with a high optical clarity. Usually, the higher the quality, the higher the price, but it pays to get something that is considered the best in its class, since your gift choice or award is supposed to represent the same thing.
