Birthday Presents Some thoughts

Buying Birthday Presents ABC Home Radio Television News …More Subjects Email this page Print-friendly This week's Treasure Past Treasures About Treasure Hunt Buying Birthday Presents Some thoughts onBUYING BIRTHDAY PRESENTS Gidday! You know theres a funny thing about the Carter Clanmost of us have birthdays around the same time. While thats great cause it means we get to do a lot of celebrating it can also be a bit hard on the old hip pocket nerve when it comes to buying all those presents! So, in an attempt to economise this year, I set myself a challenge: to buy five gifts for five members of my family for fifty dollars each or lesssomething for my grandson, my wife, my daughter, my mother and my father. Fortunately, our whole family is mad keen on anything to do with antiques so that solved the problem of where to find all of this gearit was just a quick trip up the road to our local Antiques Centre. Now fifty dollars is not a lot of dough but youd be surprised at what you can do with it if you look hard and you think a little bit sideways When I go shopping at big antique centres the first thing I do is walk every isle looking for likely suspectsthen I do it all again to see if theres anything Ive missed and there always is. Next, I pick out the stuff I want, examine it carefully and then think about it some more before making a final decision. Well, the day I went present shopping was a little bit different because it didnt take me long before I found something really excitinga nice piece of Latticino Glass. It could have been the perfect present for my wife, June, because its just the kind of thing she collects. After carefully examining the piece I found it was in great condition with the only real blemish being a barely noticeable flaw on the surface. If money were no object I would have bought it there and then. But, at $280.00 it was well over my budget! The next thing I found or to be more truthful it found mewhen I fell over itwas this good little retro set. Anodised aluminium cup sets from the 1950s are becoming really popular with collectors these days. At $20.00 this set was a real bargain and would have looked good in my daughter Christines kitchen. I say would have looked good cause Christines the odd one out in our familyher birthday doesnt happen for another six months so shell have to wait. Life can be cruel sometimes! The day was moving on and I still hadnt found something suitable for my wife June that would be within budget. Well, after a bit of snooping around some dusty old shelves I finally found something really interesting tucked away in a dark corner. It was a nice piece of Murano Glass. Fortunately June collects this stuff as well. Im not surprised really as its a style of glass fast becoming popular as a collectible. Entry-level pieces can cost you as little as $20.00 to $25.00 though pieces from the 1930s can command higher prices due to their rarity. The piece I found was circa 1950 and the asking price was $55.00. Now that was about the right market price but, after a little bit of negotiating with the dealer, I was able to buy it for $50.00right on budget. Now if you fossick around a bit in antique centres youre liable to find some very odd things. When I was rummaging through a box of second-hand books and magazines, I came across an illustrated childrens storybook from the 1930s. The thing that caught my attention was that it was full of stories about dogs, so I said to myself that this would be a great present for my grandson. Now that might seem a strange gift to buy for a little boy but what you dont know is our family is awash with dogs, weve got loads of em, so I reckon hell eat that book upthat is when granddads finished with it! There are things you can stumble across in antiques centres that youre never going to find in your average department store. While I was pulling stuff out of a box of odds and sods looking for that elusive bit of treasure I came across a set of novelty coffee mugs, each filled with what appears to be a naked lady! Wouldnt get much coffee in them thoughbut then who would care! Absolute kitsch, but at $19.00 for the three they were almost worth buying just for the fun of it. Now, when I go off to buy presents for my daughter Julie I sometimes like to play a little joke on herI buy the worst thing I can possibly find knowing that shell hate it, but that she wont be able to do anything about it because its a present from her Dad, so shell have to keep it forever. Now Julies mad keen on collecting anything to do with shellsher house is crammed full of em. So, I thought Id find her something that would compliment her collectionand I found it. Its a paperweight cum desk/kitchen ornament, probably made around the late 1940s or early 50s. I think itll look great in her dining room next to her giant clamshell! Now my Mum is an interesting ladyshes in her mid eighties, got white hair, looks like butter wouldnt melt in her mouth, smiles all the time, everybodys favourite grandmother type, but she does have a little vice: she loves a drop of the hard stuff! Now last year I bought her a very nice whisky tumbler. This year I wanted to buy her something that would compliment it. After scouting around a couple of the glassware cabinets, I found just the thing, a nice cut glass water jug. Made in England around 1890, its good quality gear with a deep cut pattern and, surprisingly, in very good condition for its age. It came in at $48.00 so was well within budget. Strangely enough, my Dad turned out to be the most difficult person of all to buy something for, and thats because hes got everything he could possibly want or need, so I made the decision to buy him something I think he might just enjoy. During the Second World War he was in the Royal Engineers and hes collects military badges and medals from that period. Fortunately our local antiques centre has a comprehensive collection of militaria so I certainly wasnt lost for choice. In fact the selection of gear on offer was enormous ranging from World War One Trench Art to modern day memorabilia. After a bit of fossicking I finally settled on a Royal Engineers badge from the First World War. It will fit perfectly with the rest of dads collection and at $28.00, a real bargain. Dad also loves military music so, as well as the badge, I decided to buy him an LP of military music. Now this was just on $4 so the total expenditure on Dad only came to $32.00, and Mum reckons, thats just how it should be! So there you have it, with a little bit of patience and a keen eye, I was able to get all five of them sorted out, no bother at all. The best part about it was the bill only came to $215 .00 which was well under the $250.00 Id originally planned on spending. So, if youre on a budget or in a hurry, large antique centres are a godsend. I reckon any body should be able to find something if they look hard enough. And speaking of looking hard enoughyou know, with that $35 left over I might just go back and buy those naughty mugs! Its a funny old world Bye for now, Alan. © 2005 ABC | Privacy Policy There is a thriving market for vintage Hornby and Hornby-Dublo model trains throughout the world. In Australia, a useful starting point is the Hornby Railway Collectors Association, which caters for collectos of both Hornby 0 gauge and Hornby Dublo trains. Most buying and selling takes place at model railway swap meets and toy fairs, but auctions, specialist shops and model railway exhibitions are also good places to look for bargains.There are literally hundreds of books and magazines devoted to collecting model trains. Most will give you a good indication of current values and condition and some will even give you a rundown on prices paid at recent auctions.

For your convenience, we also have some birthday shopping links below, so that you can shop from the comfort of your home, and help us to serve you better.

SEND BIRTHDAY GIFTS Time to pamper; time to rejoice; time to celebrate; celebrate with gifts. · Fresh Flowers · Cakes · Teddy Bears · Perfumes · Jewellery · Chocolates More Birthday Gifts Birthday gifts shopping Gifts can be classic, gifts can be wacky, but loveable are the ones which are funny, clever, convenient and useful with the right price tag. Birthday gifts embrace so much of variety, it's amazing to see their range and diversity. Apart from certain conventional gift items it can be anything else that the birthdayer loves to have on the occasion. As simple as a bunch of nice flowers, or a box of candy and chocolates, a piece of toy or a rare species of sprouting plant, an item of trivia or an object d'art, sheer utilities like a set of cutlery or something that pampers luxury like a box of jewelry...The list can go on and on. However, it ultimately rests on the tastes of both the gift-maker and the recipient, the background of their relationship, along with the age and the social status of the two. Following are some ideas on gifts which are great and easy shopping for him, her, teens, babies and kids. Let us start with the conventional ones e.g. Floral gifts Traditionally flowers are great gift items. Be they ordinary or the cut ones, make sure they are well arranged and bear your personal touch. You can also gift them in designer vases with the name of the birth dayer imprinted on them. Object d'art Choicest books and writing materials like pens, letter or writing pad can go well with and for all ages. For kids and grown-ups with some creative bent of mind, it may be anything - from drawing and coloring materials like crayon, brush, palette, to a musical instrument; from toys or games of infotainment to IQ riddles. These things always add values to the recipient's creative inclination. Collectibles It includes Traditional and contemporary picture frames and photo albums in wood, metal and glass for every occasion. Sporty gifts For the sporty ones choose from among leather sports caps, sporting accessories including gears featuring favorite NFL, NHL, NBA, MLB, and college team logos. Traditional golf apparel and accessories like a rainbow of gloves, or the putter, may be numbered and engraved with the individual's name can be a superb gift. Special boutique You can also choose from among special purpose boutiques like 'bath bags' entailing body lotions and creams, bubble baths and oils, scented candles, tub toys and more. Special purpose boutique may also include cosmetics and beauty care items or a strain of variety like incense, aromatherapy, candles, incense, bath and body lotions and much more. Musical gifts Again a cassette or CD - audio or video, relevant to the age and the nature of relationship, can be great for all. Amazon is a good place to secure the collection you want. But no less great is the idea of dedicating something to the listening pleasure of the birthdayer. Make a request to the host of a radio or TV program for some music or song of your or the birthdayer's choice. Utilities These category include anything from a nice looking useful school bag to a fancy leather bag or even a sizeable kit bag. A watch or a bike. Virtually it can be anything which the birthdayer use or wants to use in day to day life. Jewelry It includes rings, bracelets, necklaces, photographic charms, handcrafted jewelry and beaded votive holders. Miscellaneous Gifts under this category can be anything from fountains, clocks, wind chimes, dream catchers to hand-carved and ceramic hand drums fountains made of lightweight acrylic sculptures, picture pals. Also they can be any of the fashion accessories right from the low end platform shoes to trendy leather footwear and stylish clothing. Need a gift for well-being and recovery? There are some - not only fun and practical but nurturing and therapeutic. Branded to fit their utility value like Ocean Spirit, Fairy Spells, Tranquility and so on these are not highly expensive. Great is also the idea of gifting the birth dayer a ticket to a favorite sporting event, a movie or concert, and of course to a theater show, if agrees with the birth dayer's choice and your affordability. TheHolidaySpot recommends that you try our the birthday shopping links given at the top and bottom of every page, that will meet anything you may want to buy online, at the comfort of your home.

Planning for the Holidays? Packaging Have fun discovering new ways to make your gift look good without needless waste. Gift decorating is a great way to be creative. Creative substitutes for wrapping paper include scarves, tins, baskets, bags, old maps and calendars, used blueprint paper, or just a nice bow. Specifically selected sections of the newspaper also make fun wrapping paper. Keep gift boxes and bags that you receive and use them to present a gift to someone else. Wrapping paper and bows can be treated the same way. Decorate boxes with magazine cutouts or design your own wrapping paper using paper bags. Instead of using plastic ribbon, trim your gifts with dried flowers, pinecones, yarn, twine, shoelaces, paper or fabric ribbons. If you do choose to use wrapping paper, look for paper containing recycled content. You can also purchase solid colored paper that can be used for occasions throughout the year and decorated with different bows, stickers, and artwork. Did you know packing peanuts are recyclable? They can be taken to many of The UPS Stores (formerly Mail Boxes Etc.) and other stores that provide packaging and mailing services. When you choose packing materials, if you don't have packing peanuts to reuse, you might try cornstarch biodegradable packing material or consider "air cushioning," (filling sealable bags with air to provide support). © 2005 San Mateo County RecycleWorks Contact Us Order Posters & Publications County Facilities
