  • Gift Giving 101
   My friend is getting married this summer. What gifts can I give the new couple?

The tradition of giving gifts comes from a time, not so long ago where a young couple would get married after having spent their lives living in their parental home. They would be setting up home together from scratch and the older, better off among their friends and family would contribute gifts of kitchenware, textiles and even furniture to help them start their new home.

 

Today, however few couples start married life from scratch. Most newlyweds already have at least one set of cutlery between them and to stop the same gift being given by many different people, the wedding gift list developed.

It makes sense for the couple to draw up a list of things which they want or need and for everyone who is going to give gifts to use this list. This saves people wasting money and time by giving a gift which is either unwanted or unnecessary.

Here are a few special things you could give to a new couple that THEY WILL NOT ASK FOR: a romantic game for the wedding night, a tasteful gift basket for the honeymoon, a beautiful album for those first memories....

  • Celebrating Father's Day
   While listening to a Mother's Day sermon, in 1909,Sonora Louise Smart Dodd from Spokane, Washington, the oldest of six children determined there should also be a day to honor fathers.

She gained local support and made her dream a reality, one year later, within her own city of Spokane, Washington.

In 1910 Sonora chose June 19th, as the day to celebrate Father's Day because that was her father's birthday. With support from the Spokane Ministerial Association and the YMCA, the first Father's Day was celebrated in Spokane on June 19, 1910.

Here are a few suggestions to make Father's Day special for your dad:

-make dad breakfast in bed.
-do a secret act of kindness (this might include doing one of his chores, like taking out the garbage, washing the car, etc. :).
-cook his favorite meal, or take him out to dinner.
-send him a gourmet food gift basket.
