Valentines Day Ebay
Posted on Saturday, January 16th, 2010 at 12:28 pm
There is absolutely more to Thanksgiving Day than enjoying a sumptuous Thanksgiving dinner with family and close friends. In addition to the festive dishes cooked and served for the occasion, the ambiance and feel of the occasion can receive a significant boost from appropriate and effective Thanksgiving decorations. While such decor at home, particularly around the interior of the dining area, is helpful in setting the stage in the spirit of the holiday, I find using a mixture of handcrafted and vintage Thanksgiving decorations makes the atmosphere even more charming and memorable .
In considering appropriate Thanksgiving decorations, it's always a great idea to begin with the dinner table. A beautifully decorated Thanksgiving table will surely help spice up and make the food presentation more alluring and appetizing.
It's easy to create impact with some simple decorative pieces you can put together yourself. For a Thanksgiving centerpiece, why not make a pretty flower arrangement and put it at the center of the table? To do this, you would need a medium sized glass vase, colored candles (I like dark red or dark orange), different types of flowers with different colors -- white, yellow and orange flowers would be very ideal -- and a tiny pumpkin.
To create the arrangement, put the vase at the center of the dining table or at any part where it would easily grab everyone's attention. If you're serving dinner as a buffet, you could place it so it's not amidst the food. Arrange the flowers and mix the colors beautifully. When the arrangement is done, you can either place a pillar candle beside the vase, or arrange two tapers to either side of it. Then sidle the small pumpkin up next to the display to add a touch of whimsy.
If you decide you want to add a vintage flair to your table, you can pick up some vintage Thanksgiving placemats from places like Ebay. If you're feeling crafty, instead of buying vintage, you could also opt to buy simple or ordinary placemats and then hand-paint or design them. You can ask your kids to help you out and turn a simple art activity into a family bonding session.
For more vintage Thanksgiving decoration ideas, consider other objects that are routinely used at the table, such as glasses, table napkin holders, pitchers and serving dishes. Some people even collect vintage utensils that make the Thanksgiving meal more elegant and special. Whatever you choose, your efforts to integrate appropriate decorations for the Thanksgiving meal would definitely pay off.
What else should I get my boyfriend for Valentines Day?
I bought him this really nice & expensive cologne, I'm paying for half of the phone he is buying off of eBay (I would only by $54), A box of heart chocolates(it has 2 cute birds on it kissing & says "Love Birds"), and I got him this plastic champagne bottle of Hershey kisses (it's wicked cute) And I don't know what else to get him! I want to get him 1 or 2 more things! Any ideas?
Wow. Coming from a guy, he is seriously lucky to have you. Don't be surprised if his friends start looking at you differently after this.
Anyways, on to what else you could include. You didn't mention a card. You can either buy one, or you can make one. If you think you can make a really great card that tells him how much you care about him (as if he wouldn't get that already), I suggest checking out Splitcoaststampers.com. It has a huge valentine's day card gallery that I'm sure you can figure something to make him.
Lastly, you got cologne, food, phone, more food - but you don't have entertainment. Go out and get a DVD that he has mentioned he either would like to see or you know he will like. But make sure it is something you would want to see as well. That way, during or after the extravaganza, you two have something to enjoy together (and snag some of his new chocolate).
You also could always combine all these into a giant gift box or bag based on something he enjoys (I advised a girl who's boyfriend loved the Red Sox to make a giant red sock out of thick fabric to place all his gifts into, so if he loves something similar, I suggest doing the same.).
Good luck, but at this point, he'll be happy with just the first gift.
