Thoughtful, Cheap, Cute B-day Presents

So tomorrow is my Mom's b-day. She will be 30 (wink, wink ;) I like to keep my Mom feeling young so I'm getting her gifts to keep her "youthful". With the holidays so close to her birthday she usually doesn't get as much for her birthday as someone would with a birthday not close to the holidays.

I fully intend to embrace her 30'th birthday with cake, balloons, cards, presents and the whole shebang. My mom appreciates more homeade gifts than anything so I thought I could whip up a few of her favorite things.

She is really into baking lately, especially cupcakes, so I thought this would be the perfect gift. Instead of spending lots of money on gifts I plan on spending more money on the other things I mentioned, such as cake, balloons, dinner...) Along with this cute little cupcake gift box I am adding a mini muffin tin (which she has also been dying to have) It was honestly difficult to find! You wouldn't think finding a mini muffin tin would be hard to find but it was. Luckily I found one at one of my favorite stores, Hobby Lobby.

My mom loves taking baths. I thought instead of buying her bath soaps that have harsh toxins in them I would create some of my own bath fizzies. These are so cute for gift giving and they are actually useful! I saw them on MarthaStewart.com and just had to try them. To my surprise they actually worked! Find out how to make them yourself here

This Just In...Tungsten Is The "It" When It Comes To Wedding Bands

As you all know Summer time means a couple things: longer days, sunshine, vacations and weddings. You may be in a wedding, know somebody getting married or the bride and groom yourselves if you are, this is news worth sharing.

Typically, when planning a wedding, we tend to overlook the Groom's wants, needs and desires. Well it is now the twenty first century and things are changing. No longer is the wedding planned around only the Bride's wants, it now incorporates the Groom's as well. A Men's Wedding Band is a key piece to the wedding foundation, like the Bride's ring. Tungsten rings provide quality, like non-other, scratch resistant coating all at an affordable rate. If you have never heard of Tungsten please consider it for its durability, reliability and design.

Unique, Ornate Engagement Rings

Tis the season for weddings! By now I'm sure all of your refrigerators are full of save the date and wedding invitations. I know most guys, well the guys I know, think going to a wedding is a waste of a weekend but I can't wait to go! I love seeing the bridal party and the dress the bride chooses.

Of course, all the girls are dying to see the brides engagement and wedding band. I know that is one of the first things I like to see. I recently went to a Spring wedding and noticed the bride was wearing a unique ring with a pearl in it. I had never seen that type of ring before and loved it! I want one unique and different like her. I found out that her and her fiance, at the time, customized their engagement rings together. What a neat idea! I suggest this and talk about it to all of my friends that are soon to be married. I think it is a fun, unique and memorable idea.
