• Avoid small items for it can lead to choking hazards, if swallowed
• Avoid items made of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC). Little kids can be exposed to lead contamination
• Avoid gifts with chemical hazards.
• Avoid fragile or brittle items. If broken, they will surely receive a blow on the back from guardians for your gift and it may even lead to injuries.
• Avoid items with sharp edges 
• Avoid Aon-organic food stuff 
• Avoid too much candy or chocolates.

• Avoid anything that can hurt sentiment of the recipients. 
• Avoid anything which makes no sense for the recipients. For example, if you want to irritate me, simply send me a new video game. This is absolutely useless. At the best, I can handover the same to someone more interested in gaming. 
• Avoid something really big - Gone are the days when we had a lot of space. We mostly live in small compartments. So, avoid gifts like a big furniture for your sons and daughters unless they have indicated to buy one for them.
• Avoid gifts, which need maintenance - A lot of time we consider home appliances as great gift. But you must double check maintenance needs. The free gift may invite a lot of additional burden for the recipient, if he has to invest in maintenance every six months. He will surely be scared of receiving any gift from you in future.
• Avoid Gift Certificates - Do not consider a gift certificate for someone, who may have difficulties to redeem it.
• Avoid being repetitive - Just close your eyes and think of the ROLEX Watch Email SPAM. If you continue to dispatch the same coffee mug each year, the recipients may not enjoy that at all. Even if you want to stick to flowers, consider a different design this year. The same is true for greeting cards.
• Do not consider a puppy - For God's sake, it makes no sense to consider a playful puppy as gift for  someone you love, if she is least interested to take care of this heavenly creature. This will be very painful experience for both.

Back to School Supplies

They make each day a big difference - the babies, and our pets! Do you use iGoogle? If so, here is a tip for you - if you are not already aware. There are two gadgets I'm using right now - the daily puppy, and, funny cat photos! Both are cool! Check them.

They do not know much – clueless about all etiquette! But they are the best communicator – they can break the barrier, there tiny hesitant moves can take anyone to the heaven – and when they smile, it creates a heaven in the earth!

The Smile, an everlasting smile, is the gift you can offer anyone. Gift all of them, whom you meet – daily, at your workplace, your neighbors, friends for sure – virtually anybody.

The return gift is a more pleasant, a rejuvenating smile.

Smile melts the ice, breaks the barrier – a full-hearted smile has immense power. One of my senior colleagues, when we first met, told me – “I just can’t laugh anymore after he had passed away!” It is sad – someone so special is no more with her. But she had to move on – for the sake of her daughters, the elder one had just completed graduation, and, the younger one was still reading at school. Since then, the things had started to change for her. And now, on the verge of her retirement, she has understood there are still few reasons left for her to smile.

Babies are so special – we say. They have their own medicines to cure you of all disorders! And it’s their smile. I can feel the different when I look at my 4+ something niece. Moms’, please do not disagree – you just can’t leave without him/her anymore. Nobody can live without them. They are so special – because they will offer you something, which nobody else can offer – a wonder smile! Pleasant! Innocent! And divine!

I have a plan to celebrate my niece’s the 5^th birthday. It will be something very special for her, and, for us too. She is growing up – and we hope, another responsible citizen is growing up, and helping us to carry on our business, our day-to-day schedules! And often time, she has been the energy radiant.

5^th Birthday will be something special for her - something special for me as well. I’m checking websites on birthday party ideas, favors, and what not. I just can’t afford to make any mistake.

We all do so because we might just want to give them their unclaimed return gifts for their unique gifts for all of us, which make our each day a big difference – their smiles!

Just planning for the ceremony.

It’s a very strong emotion, it’s an emotion invoked by memories – memories of the past, might be a far away happenings, might just get faded off with layers of dust patch - the time! Might be that first date, graduation, or matrimony! It might involve events, which spanned for few days, may be few hours, or just few minutes! Sweet or bitter – this strong emotion is the only treasure in you cart, which nobody else can take away! Nobody! Absolutely none!

And the mementos too! Mementos are likely to be there forever – always live in the memories of the givers, and, under the safe custody of the receivers! That’s the goal of mementos; it kindles memories – the photos in your album, an ordinary pen, or sundry other stuff, which might not have any material value in this utilitarian world – but might bear a very special meaning for those, who can relate.

In early days – these were simply remembrances lacking any luxury, or, show-off factor. But things have changed a lot! And it is now those golden, or, diamonds jewelries; or fancy electronics gadgets; which have completely dispossessed those simple and intimate mementos like papers, wood, or, tin.

Gift guides have changed a lot! And so is this human society! But the emotions and values associated with any memento will always be the same.
