Holiday Gift Ideas - Lets Make It Personal
Monday, May 28th, 2007Tina D. Fermin asked:
Holiday Gift - When most people think of the holidays they think of the time starting around Thanks Giving and ending right after the first of the year. Through my years in the gift industry I have found that there are a lot of other holidays or celebrations that occur all year long. Besides New Years Day and Martin Luther King Jr. Day we also have a few wacky and unique celebrations that occur in January. We also have Jump Out of Bed Month, Celebration of Life Month and National Poverty Awareness Month just to name a few. View more wacky holidays by month.
Now if you are a person who likes to celebrate the wacky and unique holidays here are a few gift ideas for you. For Jump Out of Bed Month you could use slippers or sneakers as your gift basket for example. Using a new pair of slippers or sneakers you can have your gift consultant create a gift filled with great gadgets and useful items for your recipient. For Poverty Awareness Month you could have small hand out gifts that could be donated to your local homeless shelter such as goodie bags with toiletries or a gift card for a meal.
Making Your Gifts Personal - This can be a pretty easy task when its family or friends but what about when it’s a long time client or even a new client. Observation is the key. I currently have one of the best corporate clients I’ve ever had, why? He’s the best client because he takes the time to get to know his clients. On some of his corporate projects he works with his clients for months and on others it may be for only a few days. The key is that he is aware of the people he works with and when he calls to have me create a custom gift I have all the tools I need from his observations to make his gifts professional and personal.
Personal gifts for family in most cases can be a lot easier. All you would need to do is provide your gift consultant with information regarding a hobby or theme for that persons likes and pretty much anything can be used as the base for creating a wonderful holiday gift basket.
Food Gift - Food gifts can be great when you need a gift for a large party. For example a gourmet food gift basket that offers multiples of smaller food servings so that everyone in the office can have a try of the gourmet goodies. If you will be giving a food gift basket be sure to let your gift consultant know the number of people in the office it will be for to assure there well be enough items in the basket to go around. Customizing with a few added items will sometimes be needed for extra large office groups.
Here are some food gift suggestions when having a gourmet gift created: Cheeses with multiple servings with spreader knives included, jams, crackers, candies, chocolates, the larger bottles of sparkling cider or biscotti.
Gift Specialized - This is one of my favorite types of gifts to create. With specialized gifts I create every item in the gift basket for the recipient. For example the wife of a friend who is a die-hard CSI friend inspired our CSI Show gift. The CSI kit includes edible evidence including the bugs and chocolate or cookie body parts. I brain stormed with her husband to come up with a truly unique gift that was centered on something she would be delighted with and enjoy.
Over the years we have had the pleasure of creating unique patriotic, electrical and team oriented specialized gifts. You provide us the theme and we get to be creative.
So when celebrating the holidays wacky or traditional, lets skip the shelf gifts and make it personal.

It’s Official: CSI Loses Jorja Fox
Saturday, May 12th, 2007Groshan Fabiola asked:
CSI fans must be disappointed to hear that one of the best detectives of Las Vegas Police Department Crime Scene Investigations Bureau will be leaving for good. This week, it was officially announced that Jorja Fox will be leaving CSI. Her character, Sara Sidle, had been in a relationship with Gil Grissom (William Petersen) for the last couple of seasons and the two were hinted to be headed for marriage soon. However, Fox commented in an interview that Sara and Gil won’t be coming to a full resolution, as she will be leaving the show.
“There are all these things I want to do. Some are personal. Some are professional,” Jorja Fox said about leaving the show. “And I really need to do some of them before I get too old.”
Previously, she had issues with the show, which led to her being temporarily fired when contract negotiations broke down in 2004.
Upon hearing the news, fans had immediately gathered and pitched in their efforts to keep Jorja Fox on their favorite show. Fan websites have been up and running, petitions have been signed and letters and balloons were sent to the CSI executives. However, all these efforts were in vain as Sara Sidle is officially out of the CSI picture.
Some readers do appreciate these efforts, though, as one said, “This is so cool that all of this support has come out for her. I have always loves her on CSI.”
On the other hand, some believe that the show must go on without her. “I really liked the character of Sara the first couple of seasons, but, I don’t know, she lost me after that. But the show needs a shake up, maybe this will do it.”
Fox will still be appearing on CSI until November, but the ending they want for Sara and Gil might be a faraway dream.
“This might sound vain, but the story of Sara and Grissom is a little like a fable, and most great fables don’t really have 100 percent resolution,” Fox said of the fate of the two lovers.

Saturday, May 5th, 2007drmondostrange asked:
The software in CSI is not real, but where can one get it to make their laptop look cool with dummy software running. Like analyzing stuff and running internet connection sequences.
