Top 10 Christmas Gifts For My Wish List

November 27, 2011 By admin Leave a Comment

Choosing my top 10 Christmas gifts is always difficult, but fun. Given my long time interest in music and playing the guitar, the number one top Christmas gift is easy. I most want an acoustic or electric guitar for Christmas. Although extensive, I can carve down my wish list of presents to a final top 10 Christmas gifts when pressured.


The rest of my wish list of presents is fairly long, so it is going to be hard to cut it down to the top 10 Christmas gifts. Besides a guitar, I have recently considered learning to play the harmonica. Since I love jazz and blues music, playing the harmonica fits right in to my musical interests.

Another musical gift I would like is a small electric piano. Since it would not take up much room, I could put it almost anywhere in the house. I would also like to get some sheet music for the great jazz classics performed by Louis Armstrong and Herbie Hancock. I suppose my top 10 Christmas gifts should include something more practical also, so I would like a new pair of winter boots. Because I do not get along with the cold weather very well, keeping my feet warm with furry winter boots helps retain my sanity during the long winter months.

Guitar – French Perfume – Furry Boots – Belgian Chocolates – Winter Sweater

While staying practical in wishing for presents, I could ask for a few woolly sweaters to go along with the furry boots. I would not mind an electric blanket either. Popular books are generally on my Christmas list as well. Being a Harry Potter fan, I definitely want the next book and DVD when they come out.

Of course, there is always a nice bottle of perfume on the wish list. It hardly matters what the brand as long as it is a French perfume left under the tree. I know, I have expensive tastes, but dreaming is part of what makes the holidays fun.

Food is always a welcome gift and I like Belgian, chocolate truffles and English breakfast marmalade. Good wine is also a nice treat. That pretty much completes my top 10 Christmas gifts list, give or take a gift or two. I really do not mind what people get me as long as it is given with love and they have kept the receipt!

Others make lists too, but I like to try and surprise them with something not on their gift list. Sometimes, I will buy tickets for a holiday show like the Nut Cracker or even a sporting event for their favorite team. One goal is to stay away from giving gift cards if I can help it. They do not show a lot of originality, but I must admit I have bought them on occasion when I was desperate for gift ideas. Top 10 Christmas gifts for children and teenagers are generally popular computer games or ipods.

However, a few classic Christmas gifts that are openly welcome by kids and teenagers are classic board games, an old train set or doll house.

What I like most about the holiday season and Christmas is exchanging and giving presents. I love to find just the right gift for loved ones. Although the holiday season is typically about being with loved ones, sharing presents can be fun also. But remember, it is not just about our own personal top ten Christmas gift list.

KidKraft Veranda Doll House Gift Review

November 27, 2011 By admin Leave a Comment

This review and suggestion is for parents, grandparents,aunts, uncles and god parents shopping for a fun gift for a young girl.

The purpose of the KidKraft Veranda Doll House is to provide entertainment for girls, while inspiring their imagination.


Pros: This beautiful dollhouse is constructed of solid wood. It is mounted on a rotating base so the child is able to turn it completely around – 360 degrees. This makes for easier access. The dollhouse has two levels and features a kitchen, living room, bedroom, and bathroom – and of course a veranda.

Unlike many other dollhouses, the KidKraft Veranda Doll House comes with 24 pieces of furniture, as well as a wooden family of four. This in itself offers a great deal of extra value, because you won’t be forced to buy new furnishings – or to buy a ‘family’ to live in the doll house.

Any girl will get hour upon hour of pleasure from the KidKraft Veranda Doll House. Because of its superior structure, and the fact that dollhouses never go out of style, she will be able to save it and eventually pass it along to her own daughter someday.

Cons: I like guarantees of satisfaction. The guarantee/return/credit policy is wanting in my opinion. The doll house is mounted on a swivel, and if it the child spins it too fast, the little people and furniture will fly out of the house. The doll house is not very ‘spacious.’

Guarantee: Defective merchandise may be returned for refund or replacement. All returns must be authorized Mr. Toys. Each product sold on the various web sites have a different return/credit policy that depends on the manufacturer's policy. If the manufacturer does not have a return policy then all sales are final unless cancelled within 8 hours of placing the order.

Value for money: This doll house offers great value. It includes furniture to start with, and many other dollhouses that are higher priced do not.

Suggested Retail Price $93.50  -  November 2007

November 27, 2011 By admin Leave a Comment

This review and suggestion is for shoppers buying gifts for a young girl or woman.

The purpose of the Kneipp herbal bath collection is to soften the skin and help the individual relax.


Pros: What a wonderful gift for a young lady. Stress and fatigue are definite problems, even for teen girls. These fabulous herbal baths not only soften the skin, they may actually help relieve stress, fatigue and strain. Just 20 minutes of a pleasantly scented, highly concentrated essential oil soak does the trick. The ingredients read like a beautiful garden including such scents as Orange and Linden Blossom, Almond Blossom, Juniper and Spruce, Lavender, Rosemary and Valerian just to name a few. These concentrated plant essential oils make a boring bath, so much more! They even have a program called “FreeFills”, which automatically ships out a refill close to the time she will run out of her favorite type, and every fifth refill is free. She decides how often she will want her refills and has 60 days to return any item.

Cons: While all the reviews on this product were excellent, it may be advisable to make sure there are no allergy risks involved before you purchase this item for a young lady. Another consideration is whether or not she will use these items, it would be a good idea to ask before buying.

Guarantee: There is a forty-five day unconditional guarantee offered by Spa Look on all products.

Value for money: Once again Spa Look has come up with an excellent product at a great price.
