The start of school is just around the corner and parents all over the world are getting ready to start shopping for all the much-needed school supplies for their children. With all the products out there to choose from, it can be overwhelming at times to try to narrow it down to a product that is a good value and fit for your child. It’s important to start their school year off with items that will help to enhance their writing skills, not hamper them.
Writing in plain old pen and pencil can be a bit…boring. It’s easy to fall into a creative rut when trying to think of ways to make your writing and cards a bit more fun and over-the-top. Don’t fall prey to thinking that colours and variety don’t matter. With just a few colourful options for your stationery and pens, you can make a card, letter or written greeting truly stand out!
Throwing your child a birthday party can result in a lot of stress, as well as a fair bit of damage to your bank account. Even a party for five to ten kids can lead to sleepless nights spent constructing party decorations, filling goodie bags, and baking cakes and the cost of these things, along with any other party supplies, presents, and surprises can easily set you back a couple of hundred dollars. Your children don’t need all of these things for a great birthday celebration, so consider these birthday party alternatives instead.
Turning 21 is a big deal. You might have thrown themed parties and fancy-dress events before now, but this year it needs to be different. Your 21st birthday party should be more elegant than your 18th, but still packed with more fun and silliness than you might get away with at your next milestone birthday (that’s your 30th – eek!)
Here is shortlist of playful and grown-up themes for venue, décor, menus and outfits that will help you celebrate your birthday with an incredible evening that you and your guests will never forget.
If you have forgotten someone´s birthday or anniversary, do not worry because there are lots of ways to buy a last minute gift for them. The way modern couriers work means that you can often still buy something special and get it to them within a day, sometimes faster.
Children’s birthday parties can be surprisingly expensive, even if you skip the costly activities like laser tag, amusement parks or paid entertainment. Once you’ve considered the snacks, the drinks, the cake, the presents, the games and the loot bags, your wallet will be exhausted. To rein in the spending, you should put your crafty skills to test and try to make elements of your kid’s special birthday party on your own.
The holidays always signal a time of getting together with friends and family, sharing laughs, a meal, and just having a good time. The holidays also have another aspect to them that isn’t quite as enjoyable and that’s holiday gift shopping. It seems like everyone always has at least one or two people on their list that are extremely hard to buy for. Maybe it’s not even a family member or a friend, maybe it’s the office gift exchange that you’re having a hard time with.
It’s that time of year again, the weather’s gorgeous and you’re thinking about back to school for your tots and teens. With UK school budgets really tight with economic pressures at their height, is it time that us parents started to help ease the burden?
There is something special about receiving a bunch of flowers. Whether it is a few daisies collected from the lawn and given to you by your child. A bouquet of flowers for your birthday or anniversary. Or even that reduced bunch that you found smiling at you in the supermarket as you hastily gathered last minute milk and bread supplies.
Turning 40 is a big deal. Whether it’s to mourn the end of our 30s or to celebrate the feeling of finally hitting our stride, 40 is the perfect milestone to throw a memorable birthday celebration. Inspired by some famous faces, here’s a list of sophisticated 40th birthday party ideas for a day you’ll never forget.
