Good Gift Buying

Gift Buying
Being a good gift giver.

The thought of that can be scary, so make it fun. Whether you are buying just one gift or several gifts.

First make a list of who you need to buy for. Next, list what you think that person may like. Think about; Are they conservative, traditional, want a be wild, but life won’t let them, or just plain wild. Just by talking to people you can find out about their interest. So mark down what that person is like. I know at this point your thinking, this is going to take forever, but it won’t. Here are some points to look at.

Now I know there are people out there who have everything, but do not let that bother you. They are really not that hard to buy for. Go for the unusual. Example; I have a friend who is retired, who doesn’t like anything but bubble for the tub, yes she takes a bubble bath everyday. So everyone buys her bubbles for the tub, boring, I bet she has enough bubbles to last a life time. She and her husband go to the casino’s a lot, So, instead of bubbles, I gave her a Casino Frame with a picture of her and her husband at the Casino. She loved it, and she really doesn’t like glassware.

Another gift that can be put together fast, are baskets filled with goodies, baked items, healthy treats, a bottle of wine, cheeses, wine glasses or goblets, and of course a wine stopper. How about a Mug & Coaster with your favorite college team. Bowls are nice too instead of the basket.

Take glassware and make a theme of it. Example; A Golf pilsner glass, put tees, a special golf ball, a ball marker, and other related small golf items. Tie up with wrap and you will have a perfect gift for the golfer in your life. For your sweetheart, take a glass of interest, whether it be a martini or wine glass, put a special necklace or ring in the glass, wrapped in tissue paper, you will be remembered for years.

Still needs some ideas, what about writing a special something, or a poem, a recipe, put it in a oil and vinegar bottle. OK, sounds corny, no not at all, they will get a kick out of that, besides, who else would do that.

Make a home made cordial, put it in a decanter of some type, wrap it up, and put ribbon around it. Believe it or not people do like homemade snack and foods.

Buy different Hand Painted glasses, or Hand Blown glasses, whether it be shot glasses or other glassware, Start someone a collection. I have a friend, for whatever the occasion, she receives a martini glass, just one, her bar is looking great, and what a conversation piece, everyone is looking to see what glass the other one has.

In conclusion, these are just a few ideas, but the one thing I would like to stress, Is make gift buying fun and not a pain. Give the unusual. Believe me people will love it. We are only limited to our imagination.
Remember be a good gift giver.

How to clean your Fine Crystal Glassware

Tips on cleaning your unique Hand Painted & Hand Blown Glassware

Do not put your glassware in the Dishwasher, Hand wash in warm soapy water. This will keep your glassware looking great for years to come.

No, you cannot put your glassware in the microwave.

Dry with a soft cloth so as to not scratch.

Handle the body of your glassware, not the stem when cleaning.

If stains appear on your glassware, gently rub with half a lemon, wash with vinegar, or soak the interior with powdered dentifrice dissolved in lukewarm water.

In areas with very hard water & high mineral content, distilled water will help prevent staining.

To avoid scratching, dust with a soft, lint-free cloth dampened in a mild solution of 1-part ammonia to 2-parts water.

Do not expose to rapid temperature changes or extremes of temperature.

Avoid placing in direct sunlight.

Store your glassware right side up; do not stack; Avoid sliding or twirling the glass.

Avoid packing glassware in newspaper or other moisture-absorbing materials for long periods of time; soft cloth or bubble wrap is perferable.

Remember to sit back and enjoy your glassware.
