I’m putting two Citizen watches on my Christmas list this year. Hopefully by then I’ll have some rich boyfriend who will buy one for me, a girl can dream right?

Anyway the one I really want is this Silhouette Bangle watch. I love the look of it and I need a feminine dressy watch for special occasions and things. I also like the little charm it has on it. I don’t know why but I have had this weird need to be more girly. I think it’s just time I start acting more like one. My sisters think I already do, but I don’t really. Anyway, the only thing I would like to change on this watch is to make it white gold or silver. Then I could get one of each!

I love drinking tea, my favorate kind of tea right now is white tea. It’s not a very commen type of tea but I love the taste of it and the health benifites. Right now I’m into more organic type teas and I love the selection avalable at Organic Inda, they have teas like raspberry peach and red mango. They also carry herbal supplements such as tulsi holy basil that is suppose to help with stress and relaxation.

I also love their selection of gifts as I always try to find things to buy for people that are organic since many people around me have never tried some of these things. Organic India also offers free shipping for orders over $100. Another reasion to look for gifts. Tea I think is a great way to relax after a long day at work or school in my case. It’s also a great way to add more liquid to your diet and is really good on a cold day, if you like warm tea.

Today I was reading a great blog post about different ways to advertise your business. You can do this by using new ways and ideas instead of the same old business cards. One way to do this is to think about Corporate Gifts. You can give out things to your customers and even employees that have your company logo or website on them. Think more then just a card, think pens, t-shirts, mugs or even a car. I would give the car to an employee to drive to and from work though, not to a customer.

I have used these items to promote things before. I sold Avon at one time and I would had out pens and mugs to people who bought from me. It would have my Avon web address and my phone number. It worked well considering almost everyone around me sold Avon. Thats why I don’t sell anymore. I also have a store for my forum where people can buy things with the forum logo on it. Eventually I’ll start giving away items on my forum to members. Everyone loves free stuff, even if it’s for advertising.

I love my mother, she hasn’t always been the best mom but she isn’t horrible either. There have been many things we have disagreed on over the years and we are not as close as most of my friends are with their moms. I think that is because many of my friends mothers were younger when they had kids, my mom was 30 and raised by very strict parents.

Still though with mothers day approaching I am looking for the perfect mothers day gifts. It always seems like me and my older sister come up with a great idea and then my little sisters come up with their own and then the two of us are back to square one. So I’m thinking this year we figure out a few different things we can do to make mothers day a fun one this year. One thing that is out once again this year is a mothers ring. We have been wanting to get one for years now, but no one has ever had enough to get one. 5 kids means a lot of money. Hopefully after I graduate next June and get a good job we can put that back on our list. For now I’m on the hunt for some other great ideas.

Today I went out to a local town that is a tourist attraction. They have the whole Bavarian theme going on and they have some great stores and gallery’s to check out. One of them is a clock gallery that I love to go into. They have a huge collection of clocks. While I was in there I decided that a grandfather clock may be a great gift for a friend of mine who is moving into her own home.

She loves anything that is out of the ordinary and fun. I decided to check out some websites online and found one I really like called 1800-4clocks. I actually think I have mentioned them before on this blog and there is a good reason for it. They have a great selection of clocks including grandfather clocks, they even have a blog about clocks. One of my favorite post on this blog is a post written today actually called Grandfather clocks: Not just for Grandfathers. The reason I like this post so much is that it reminds me of a teacher I have, she has always told us that classic design is not just for your grandmother. I found the similar quote funny and kept reading. I love how it explains that clocks are not just old looking and dull. They can really create a great focal point for a room or start a conversation. My aunt has one that moves and chimes, everyone always comments on it.

So I have picked out a few clocks for my friend, she’s not moving until June so I have some time to decide which one I want. I’m leaning toward one of the Howard Miller grandfather clocks right now, but we will see what happens.

I have a little sister who loves to dress in new funky type ways, she is hard to find clothes for and that is why I love this new site I found that has interesting junior clothing that my sister will love. Her birthday is not until September but I usually start shopping now so that I can find something really good.

Daisy ShirtHeavenly couture has a huge selection and the shirt pictured is one I am thinking my sister will love she loves the Chinese characters on clothing so I know she would like that part. She also loves flowers so that should work too.

My other little sister has a birthday in July and she doesn’t dress as funky as my other sister, but I still think I found something for her too. What I found was a pajama set that is red and black with a cloud pattern on it. I think she would love it. I also found one that said sweet dreams with a pink butterfly and blue paints. She may like that one better. I have some time to decide, but I think I found the place to get their presents. The best part is all of their designer junior clothing sells for $17.95, that is a price I can afford.
