Things To Consider When Shopping For Christmas Gifts For Kids

During special occasions whether it is birthday or Christmas, you always look forward to search for your kids' unique presents. On your list, you probably will have the latest gadgets and creative toys. In the next several weeks, we will be celebrating Christmas and I am certain some of the best toys for this season are already on your kids' wish lists. There are so many toys to choose from, it can be difficult to come to the conclusion which is the best one to buy.

1. Is the toy safe?
It is a common practice that chemicals and toxins are being used in the production of most consumer goods. Thus, toys are no exception as they are exposed to them as well. The paints on toys could be tainted with lead. Bisphenol-A (BPA), dioxins, and phthalates are also found in some toys and I don't think you want such toys for your kids. They can lead to a number of health issues such as developmental and learning disabilities, reproductive problems, cancer, and hormone problems. Thus, there is a need for toys that are free of unnecessary toxic chemicals.

2. Is the element of fun is more important than the values the toy can provide?
I agree that children want to be entertained when they play their toys however you should not forget the importance of education or the opportunity to allow your child could explore new talents.

3. Is the quality of the toy good?
It is the best in the child's interest to avoid toys that rely on low quality materials so that the retailers can sell them at a bargain. Durability is one thing that toys should have, and you should be able to pass on the toys to the next child in similar conditions.

After reading this article, you probably have learned some useful pointers for your coming Christmas gifts shopping. I'm sure when you intend to get a Christmas present for your kids, it is your intention that when they accept your gifts, they should appreciate the effort you have put in as you go hunting for their special gifts.

London Christmas Parties

It may be a long time away, but it's never too early to start brainstorming party ideas. London, the nation's lively and bustling capital, provides the ideal setting for themed Christmas parties. Whether you are thinking about going all out and throwing a lavish, no-holds barred exclusive shindig or getting together with other organisations for a shared bash, we can help you get those creating juices flowing. But imagine if all reasonable logic and reason went out the window and you were able to put into practice literally anything you could imagine. Here we outline two outlandish party ideas in London that probably wouldn't even get off the ground in reality!


Outer Space Themed Christmas Parties

The setting for your 2011 Christmas party in London is the Planetarium at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich. Your guests arrive into the gravity-deprived, weightless surroundings dressed as spacemen or aliens from another world. Float up to the control centre for welcome drinks before taking a trip around the planets and stars. You will dine on traditional space food, such as freeze-dried turkey and stuffing, with vaccuum-packed Christmas pud to follow. After dinner entertainment would come courtesy of a live band playing theme music from famous movies set in space and guests would be required to enter a decompression chamber before departing the Planetarium and re-entering the real world.


Pre-historic Themed Christmas Parties
London parties don't get much crazier than this pre-historic theme, set of course in the capital's Natural History Museum. Imagine arriving at a party where the hosts are cavemen, handing out Mead to be drunk from stone cups. The dinosaurs would come alive for one night only and guests would feast on delights of the day such as wild boar and pterodactyl. A group of Neanderthals would provide classic tribal post-meal music, with drums made of stone and sticks of bone. Guests would be dressed in imitation animal skins and traditional tribal dress, of course.

Party Dress Codes

Are you hosting a party? Or are you attending a party? In both the cases, it is important for you to know about the latest and on-going party trends. One popular party trend is the party dress code trend. This means that the host of the party specifies a dress code for the guests and the guests have to follow it. The guests are made aware of the dress code through invitation cards. These dress codes are used on all types of occasions and events such as weddings, birthdays, prom nights, anniversaries and office parties.


Black Tie Party
This code can be typically used for wedding, prom and even reception functions. It is a formal party where men are dressed up in suits and women are dressed up in gowns. The attire that the guests wear depends completely on the decision of the hosts. The invitation can state that it can be black tie attire but the party dress codes will be semi-formal.

If this is the code for a formal office party or a meeting, then men should go for grey or black tuxedos with matching ties while for a semi-formal occasion, they can choose to wear white or black tailcoat and dinner jacket. For women, it is suggested to wear evening gowns or long dresses, in case of formal or semi-formal events while in case of office parties, they can go for evening gowns or wide leg trousers.


White Tie Party
This is the code for the biggest formal events that include balls, banquets and operas. For men, it is important to remember that this attire is only worn after its six in the evening or after the dark, in some cases. For any white tie event, the men will wear a waist-length coat or jacket with two tails in its back, white wing collar, white cotton bow tie, wool or silk pants with stripes down the legs, silk socks, white shirt with a tux front, an opera overcoat, and leather shoes. For women, it is suggested to wear full-length ball gowns. Accessories such as a shawl and long hand gloves are acceptable.


Lounge and Cocktail Party
Parties that come under this section are not as dressy and formal as the previous two discussed in this article. Men can wear business suits of any color they like to, with or even without tie. A button-down shirt will also add elegance. For women, short elegant dresses with accessories like clutch purses would be a great idea. Women should look for sexy party dresses for such occasions and events; these include for instance strapless, low neck and short dresses.

Importances of Being the Mother of the Groom

1.) Hotel reservations for the groom's out of town guests are the responsibility of the mother of the groom. You could coordinate hotels with the mother of bride, and maybe you will both get a better deal for each of your guests because you are reserving so many rooms.

2.) It is the responsibility of the groom's family to host and pay for the rehearsal dinner. This could be as simple as a backyard barbeque or a nice, formal sit-down dinner. Everyone who is in the ceremony is invited to the rehearsal dinner, and it is appropriate etiquette to invite the spouse or significant other of those participating, as well as the parents of the children that are in the wedding.

3.) Your arrival prior to the wedding is dictated by when you and your family are scheduled for photographs. If you are taking family photographs before, you should arrive at least thirty minutes prior to when you are scheduled to be there, just in case the photographer is ready for you early. If you won't be taking pictures until after, then you should arrive no later than an hour before the ceremony is set to begin.

4.) You should participate in the ceremony however your son and his bride have requested you too, Whether that be to light the mother's candles with the bride's mother or to be escorted to your seat by your son as he prepares to take his place at the front.

5.) Be prepared to participate in the receiving line as your guests are leaving the church or entering the reception.

Indian Brides Make Up

The Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi bridal looks all have one word in common: drama. Eyes are dramatic, lips are dramatic, contouring is heavy and the normal bridal color is red-drama, drama, drama!


For any bridal makeup the essential ingredient is a great base. Asian bridal make up for Indian brides is best heavily contoured and a great way to achieve this look without appearing painted, is to use an airbrush. This can help blend contour lines on cheeks, temples, jaw-line and nose so that the desired effect (drama!) is achieved without the undesirable patchiness that often comes with manual application.


Because most brides wear red the standard Indian Asian bridal make up is in bronze, gold and red colors. Eyes are heavily defined with Kohl and liquid eyeliner, and eye-shadow is extensive. Fake eye lashes are a must with this look as is seamless blending of eye shadow: the default position of an Indian bride is looking demurely downwards, so the full eye shadow is visible most of the time and needs to be blended perfectly. The look is completed with a red lip-shade to match the dress.

Look Sexier in Fashion Tights

We all look at ourselves in the mirror and think, "if only my butt were a little tighter," or "if only my boobs were a little bigger." This worry is unnecessary because you already look beautiful, but if my reassurance doesn't mean much to you, there are certain kinds of tights that can help you look and feel sexier. Here is a guide to all kinds of tights, from sheer to seamless shapewear.

1. Check out the sizes first. Usually, but not always, "A" will be "A." Just in case, it's good to check. Checking the guide on a package according to weight and height, or hips and height, is usually a good way to choose the proper size.


2. Ultra Sheer: These tights are as the name says: they are ultra revealing and allow your skin color to be seen. Because they are so thin, they can be prone to ripping and tearing, so be careful.

3. Day Sheer/Business Sheer: This is a good medium between ultra sheer and modest sheer. They will allow some pigment to shine through, as they are still pretty thin. Again, because they are so thin, you may want to carry an extra pair around with you. These tights also reveal the shape of your legs more so than an opaque pair of tights.


4. Spandex Sheer: These tights mix nylon and spandex and offer a smooth feel without the thinness of the above sheer tights.

5. Circulation enhancing/Support hose: This combination of nylon and string moves away from sheer and towards opacity. They are great for preventing varicose veins in your legs because the pressure from the hose increases circulation. Plus, wearing them makes it more difficult for your legs to tire because of all the blood flow.


6. Shimmer/Glimmer: These tights are good for showing off the shape of your legs because they shimmer when under lights. They're especially good for evening wear.

7. Opaques/Tights: These tights are perfect during the winter or when you don't want to bare your legs. They can also help to make your legs look slimmer. Avoid wearing a simple t shirt with these tights, i.e. always cover your butt.


8. Control Top Pantyhose/Support Tights: The spandex in these hose can lift and perk your butt and tighten your belly area.

9. Women's Shapewear Body: These body stockings are what dancers wear and can help to tighten your legs, belly and butt. The material of these hose is lightweight and breathable.


10. Think thongs; panty lines never look good.

11. Match your hose to your outfit. Fashion mistakes can be worse than a run in your hose.


12. Keep extra hose in your bag or in a work drawer, just in case you spot an emergency run. With these tips you should have an easier time choosing what kind of hose to wear, and deciding which kind will look best on you with certain clothing and during certain seasons.
