Figure A Figure A--The perfect gift for someone moving into a new residence is a cleaning-item bouquet. Cut craft foam so that it fits tightly into a wash bucket, then simply insert helpful items such as a feather duster, toilet brush, dish mop, etc. For a special touch, use floral foam instead of craft foam, soak the foam in water, then insert flowers, along with the cleaning items. Decorate the wash bucket with a colorful ribbon. Figure B Figure B--How about a treat to reward a friend for all the effort that goes into a move? A chocolate cake will certainly be appreciated, but don't present it on a white paper plate. Enhance the presentation by lining a hatbox (or any container) with decorative paper. Place the cake in the hatbox, then cover with a fabric remnant that has been bound up and secured with tulle. Figure C Figure C--A fruit basket is a traditional and healthy housewarming gift. Make it special by finding an oversized basket to hold the fruit, then surround the entire basket with tulle. It will take two to three yards of this inexpensive fabric to envelope the gift. Use two or even three different colors of tulle to really give it some pop, then just secure at the top with some ribbon. Figure D Figure D--Cleaning supplies and fruit are great, but for the college student that's moving away from home, a little bread might help--not just any bread, though. It has to be the kind that can be spent. Instead of passing an envelope, present the money in a card that has been inserted between two slices of tasty bread in a wicker basket.

Silent Night - Phil Spector And Artists Listen Listen Editorial Reviews Amazon.com This lavish holiday set has been called the greatest rock & roll Christmas album of all time. That's an opinion that's tough to argue with when you find yourself immersed in the massive sounds painstakingly crafted by legendary producer Phil Spector. His "wall-of-sound" technique is perfectly suited to the music of the season, as he proves with layer upon layer of piano, sleigh bells, buoyant percussion, and, of course, those legendary Spectorsound harmonies. The Crystals turn their sassy interplay into sheer magic on "Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town," The Ronettes stroll sweetly through numbers like "Sleigh Ride," while Darlene Love delivers a real knockout punch with her yearning version of "Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home)." Sure to become the soundtrack for your holidays. --David Sprague Spotlight Reviews (What's this?) Write an online review and share your thoughts with other customers. 5 of 6 people found the following review helpful: The classic album , October 26, 2003 Reviewer: P D Harris "Pete the music and horse racing fan" (Leicester England)- See all my reviews This album was something of a revolution in its time, at least where Christmas music was concerned, although all that Phil Spector actually did was apply his normal production style to Christmas music. The Crystals, famous for Then he kissed me and Da doo ron ron, sing brilliant, energetic versions of Santa Claus is coming to town, Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer and Parade of the wooden soldiers. The Ronettes, famous for Be my baby, are equally brilliant on Frosty the snowman, Sleigh ride and I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus. Bob B Soxx and the blue jeans, famous for Zip-a-de-doo-da, also excel on Bells of St Mary's and Here comes Santa Claus. Darlene Love, whose biggest success was as lead singer of the Crystals on He's a rebel, sings four songs here, a rare chance for her to be credited as a solo performer. Christmas (Baby please come home) is the only original song here. White Christmas includes the rarely heard verse about being in Beverley Hills. The other two, Marshmallow world and Winter wonderland, are also outstanding. The closing Silent night is just a series of spoken acknowledgements set to a backing track. Don't worry about that - the twelve songs that go before set the standard for Christmas rock albums when it was first recorded and still do, because nobody has bettered it in the forty years since.

Bagley (Sanatoga, PA USA)- See all my reviews The legendary producer Phil Spector hit his artistic peak with this yuletide classic from 1963. The arrangements found here have been copied over and over again through the years by less creative performers, but no one comes close. My favorite recordings on the album are those by the Ronettes, in particular "Sleigh Ride" which will have you going "ringalingalinga dingdongding" for days, no, make that YEARS. Ronnie's playful, almost childlike voice, lends itself better to nonsecular Christmas songs than anyone I have ever heard. If Ronnie captures the playful, innocent side of Christmas, Darlene Love with her powerful alto captures the emotional side. The original recording "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" drives home the heartbreak of being alone at Christmas, while "White Christmas" nails the longing we all have for the Christmases of our youth. The Crystals and Bob B. Soxx & his Bluejeans aren't quite as distinctive as Ronnie & Darlene (who is?). Nonetheless, their enclosed holiday recordings are all enjoyable, particularly "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" (Crystals) and "Here Comes Santa Claus (Bob B. Soxx). I've never cared much for the last track, which finds the high pitched Phil wishing everyone a Merry Christmas , while Silent Night plays in the background. But since it is the last track, it doesn't mar the excellence created by the rest of the album/CD. Just hit eject as Phil starts to talk and I guarantee you'll have a musically Merry Christmas!

Really grand...back in the 60's , September 17, 2005 Reviewer: D. Needham (Thousand Oaks, Ca United States)- See all my reviews This is one of those albums I thought I had to have in order to upgrade my Christmas collection. The Amazon editorial review says it's called the greatest rock & roll Christmas album of all time. I'm kind of partial to things that bear the title "greatest of all time" that I can own for $13.99. Now I own it and it and I just don't think it's so great. I think that maybe it was good in its day. I'm not saying the old stuff is bad. I love many old renditions of Christmas songs. And I like different renditions of the same Christmas songs. The problem here for me is that when Mariah Carey came out with her Christmas album she made this one obsolete. Now, maybe nobody else feels this way, but Mariah Carey does the best of these songs, but she does them way better. For me, this album has become unnecessary. Was this review helpful to you? ( Report this ) A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector , August 10, 2005 Reviewer: Robert Janes (Flat Rock,Mi USA)- See all my reviews This album remined me of being back in high school. Was this review helpful to you? ( Report this ) A Christmas Gift for You-and you-and you-and you , December 24, 2004 Reviewer: M. Shively - See all my reviews It took me one year to find this CD after watching Darlene Love on Letterman December of 2003. I ordered one CD for my brother who has 3 girls ages 5-13 and took another CD to work. We couldn't wait until the day AFTER Thanksgiving: we cranked it up the day BEFORE Thanksgiving! THIS IS SUCH A GREAT SING-ALONG. You simply cannot have a "blue, blu-u-u-e XMAS" listening to this CD. Was this review helpful to you? ( Report this ) 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful: An Orginial Spector Devotee , December 7, 2004 Reviewer: Philip Spivey "Liberated Theology'" (New York City, NY USA)- See all my reviews I grew up in the 50s and 60s loving Rock 'n Roll and loving Phil Spector's Rock especially. His Christmas album is a yearly treat for me. I don't play my vinyl anymore (purchased just days before President Kennedy's assassination in November 1963); I don't play my cassette tape anymore; I've graduated to disc. And this will be my 41st Christmas with the Spector gang...they're family. The greatest Christmas album to be sure. I would also put it in the league of a top-ten album of all time. The renditions and arrangements remain fresh after all these years. We hear Darlene Love and Ronnie Spector in their "glory days" with all the optimism the youth of the 60s shared before the realities of dead presidents and adulthood encroached on us. You hear Spector at his best muscially, before his productions become muddy or overwrought. Although each song on the album is a jewel, three stand out for me: Darlene's "Christmas Baby..." by Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich stands out because it was written especially for this album and it is the surprise tour de force of this collection. Not only does it work with the traditional songs, but it has become Darlene Love's signature to this day when she apppears each Christmas season on the Letterman Show. My second pick is "The Bells of St. Mary's". A somewhat unconventional choice for a Chirstmas album --- because it's not a traditional Christmas song ... again, this choice works with Darlene and Bobby Sheen and Fatima James (known on the label as Bobby Sox & the Blue Jeans). It works in a spectacular way because the arrangement is inspired, the vocal lines and performances soar and the drum work (Hal Blaine, I believe) is brilliant. Listen to the final few bars and fade-out on this track ---- have you ever heard drum work like that? My third, and final, is "Silent Night". This was a discovery I made after years of ignoring this track. If you could remove Phil's silly narrative and listen soley to the music, what you would hear is one of the most beautiful renditions of this song recorded; it's silvery and transparent and yet we know that the chorus is peopled by the entire Phil Spector stable of singers (including Cher, who sang background in those days); the effect is transcendent. This album is forever fresh, forever young and forever one of my favorites. If, God forbid, I had to leave my home for fire or flood or locusts, THIS album (vinyl, cassette and disc) would be among the possessions under my arm. Was this review helpful to you?

Of course, you already knew that - which is why you've come to Things Remembered for the most memorable personalized anniversary gift ideas! Read on, and let's see if we can help make your anniversary gift shopping an enjoyable, rather than a stressful, experience. The Milestones: Special Anniversary Years To Remember While a husband and wife may have their own tradition of exchanging anniversary gifts each year of their marriage, it's traditionally accepted for their friends and relatives to give anniversary gifts to the couple only in "milestone" years. These are generally recognized as the 1st through 15th anniversary, and then every five years after. But, of course, how you choose to celebrate a wedding anniversary is up to you. These days, the choice of anniversary gifts is as diverse as marriage styles. The same goes for how much you choose to spend on an anniversary gift. You shouldn't feel pressured to spend more based on the year of marriage you're honoring. It's not the size or price of the gift that matters most - it's the thought that went into selecting it. Another way to make your anniversary gift an especially cherished one is to have it engraved with a sentiment that conveys your feelings about the special day. Adding this personal touch says so much more than an expensive price tag! The Official Gift Theme List - Don't Go Shopping Without It The beauty of anniversary gift giving is that someone has already done the job of giving key anniversary years their own gift "theme" - a big help for clueless shoppers! You may be familiar with the traditional anniversary gifts assigned to bigger milestone years; for instance, paper as a 1st anniversary gift, silver as a 25th anniversary gift , and gold as a 50th anniversary gift . But the good news is, there's both a classic and modern gift theme for the 1st through the 15th anniversaries, and for each five-year milestone after that, up to the 60th anniversary. The themes are specific - i.e. wood, diamonds, leather, china, crystal - but there are countless ways to interpret them as gifts. Take a look at our Anniversary Gift Theme Table . Between Couples - Express Your Love With An Engraved Anniversary Gift No matter what the anniversary year, most couples put a lot of thought into finding just the right anniversary gift. Something with deep meaning or symbolism, or something they know their spouse has always wanted. So before you shop, take some time to browse and think. Surf the Things Remembered website for starters. Here, you'll find some wonderful anniversary gift ideas for both husbands and wives. If you two are into jewelry, his and hers personalized ID bracelets or watches make wonderful and cherished anniversary gifts, especially when they're engraved with your personal messages of love. Combination gifts are also a nice way to go. For a wife, a gift including a beautiful engraved musical trinket box with Swarovski® accented jewelry tucked inside makes a wonderful gift. For a husband, consider some handsome and useful wardrobe accessories, like a pair of cuff links tucked inside an engraved valet box for his dresser. Remember, if you're really stuck, look to the anniversary gift themes list for ideas. You'll be amazed at what you come up with to rekindle the romance on your special day. Tried & True - Popular Anniversary Gift Ideas For Friends And Family So what are today's most popular anniversary gifts? For starters, you can't go wrong with a clock. Glass domed, engraved clocks (with a special anniversary sentiment and date) are among the most popular of all, but there are many beautiful clocks , executed in wood, and in metal, that make perfect anniversary gifts. Personalized picture frames , crystal items , and engraved trinket boxes are also high on the list. However, other types of wedding anniversary gifts are also growing in popularity. For instance, decorative throws embroidered with the couple's names and their wedding date. Or, if the milestone year calls for a diamond theme, consider an engraved picture frame or trinket box adorned with sparkling Swarovski® crystals. These amazing stones achieve the drama and the flash of fine diamonds at a much more affordable price. Celebrating Everlasting Love - A Time To Be Sentimental When it comes to choosing and giving anniversary gifts, it's OK to be as sentimental and sweet as possible! After all, this is a celebration of love. So whether you're a spouse shopping for the love of your life, or a friend choosing a special gift for a special couple, you'll definitely want to tap into your romantic side as you contemplate your gift. And keep in mind, to make your anniversary gift truly personal, you'll definitely want to have it engraved with a message straight from your heart. Don't forget, at Things Remembered, every gift is engraveable, or may be embroidered, with your personal words of congratulations. So shop now, or stop in a store, and see what we can wrap up for you to make that upcoming anniversary the most memorable of all.
