There’s only a couple of days left until Easter but don’t panic because with Easter there is no need for any big extravagant gifts (although the kids never mind a stuffed Easter bunny), no the focus of Easter is quite simply chocolate!

But how about making your chocolate gifts a little bit special this year. Rather than going to the shops an buying a stack of Easter Eggs that all taste the same and won’t all get eaten how about making some special treats for yourself.

A favorite site of mine is taste.com.au, this has recipes for all the Easter goodies you could imagine. From Hot Cross Truffles to Choc-a-Bloc trifle recipes if you make these delights you a sure to keep everyone happy and full of chocolate this Easter!

Gifts for Cool Geeks

TellMeAGift — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 08:07:06 +0000

Geeks are the new quarterbacks and so now when we buy them presents we want to impress them with our geeky prowess.

But if when you are not a geek yourself it can be hard to know what to get them (for instance a book of sudoku puzzles probably won’t impress the modern geek)!

So if you want to impress that geek friend of yours or maybe just want some cool new geek presents for yourself then here are some geek chic ideas for you…

Every geek likes to look cool so a great geek gift idea believe it or not is clothes, especially tshirts.

If the tshirt has writing on it then it better be clever and witty otherwise you will want a shirt that is uber cool with colours that will impress his or hers most geekiest of friends.

Another gift than any geek is sure to love is of course gadgets, just make sure that it is new!

An old iPod mini isn’t exactly going to be useful to someone who already has an iPhone, iPad and the latest iMac now is it?

So when thinking of cool gifts look for the latest camera, video game consoles or a USB that will hold a serious amount of data.

Then of course there are the gifts that will keep that geek being well, geeky. That is DVDs, book and games and anything else to keep their mind active.

Trying to decide which to give isn’t rocket science though, your geek will probably love to watch any of the latest DVDs that are out just ask the shop assistant and they will not just what to choose for you otherwise if you’re buying online pick a best seller and you won’t go wrong.

Of course this is just the start of what you can buy for you loving geek but if you want an more personal advice then leave a comment or chat to TellMeAGift Chat!

Christmas Gifts for Mom

TellMeAGift — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 07:09:50 +0000

Your Mom has probably been spoiling you all year round and at Christmas time it is your turn to spoil her and give her a little gift to make her feel special. When getting your Mother a gift think about what she is interested in and what she likes doing. Some gifts that never fail are those that involve pampering or new pieces of jewelry. Gift of the month clubs are also a great idea or a subscription to her favorite magazine. But if you aren’t quite sure of exactly what to get her then here are TellMeAGift’s top choices of Christmas presents for your Mom this year.

Something for relaxing and pampering

All mothers love to be pampered so why not get her something that will help her to unwind at the end of a hard day. This Foot Bath by Brookstone is simply luscious and will give your Mother the gift of peaceful bliss.

Something from Oprah’s Book Club List

There is a reason why Oprah’s’ Book Club is so popular and that is because she chooses fantastically written books. Some popular titles from the Book Club that would make great gifts include: A Virtuous Women; Where the Heart Is; The Pillars of the Earth and The Book of Ruth.

Something for entertaining

Many mothers love to entertain so household items always make lovely gifts. In particular why not get your Mother a new tea or coffee set. The Tea Set pictured below is by Royal Albert who have been making quality dinnerware and works of art for over 100yrs. A gift like this is sure to be high on your Mom’s wishlist.

Something to wear

Your Mom like every other woman on the planet will love anything new she can wear or put on such as clothes, scarves, watches or any other kind of accessory. In particular jewelry is a great Christmas present for mothers. There is some beautiful jewelry around and the one pictured below is especially special as it is a 14K gold pendant made with a mother on mind.

Gifts for Lady Gaga Fans

TellMeAGift — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 05:01:56 +0000

Now I’m sure you all know a Lady Gaga fan or maybe you are one yourself. If so then then there are a whole heap of cool gift ideas that any fan will surely love, ranging from her outrageous fashion sense to her groovy tunes. Also keep a lookout for her new Heartbeats Fashion Earphones which will be sure to hit stores soon. Until then below are some awesome gift ideas that not only a Lady Gaga fan would love but any other fashion forward gal too.

1. Lady Gaga Inspired Sunglasses

The Lady is often spotted wearing a hot pair of sunnies and now your lucky gift recipient can look just as awesome with this pair of Lady Gaga inspired vintage sunglasses.

2. Gloves

Lady Gaga may not wear much but she is often seen wearing a pair of gloves. So for an admirer to truly emulate her style a hot pair of gloves is a must. The ones pictured here are not only fashion forward but made from Italian leather to keep your hands nice and warm as well (not that practicality is a concern for most fashionistas).

3. Lady Gaga Inspired Fashion

Unless you’ve bee living under a rock recently you’ve probably noticed that Lady Gaga’s outrageous fashion styles have been leading the fashion trends lately. While she has an array of looks she generally has some common themes, which are leotards, one shoulder tops, latex, leather, high shoulders and anything tight. There are many looks to choose from but our favourite one to gift is this black one-shoulder dress by Alexander Wang.

4. Anything with bows

Lady Gaga has made bows cool again and chances are any fan of her will also be a fan of a cute bow. Get them to add a bit extra to an outfit or to be worn in the hair.

5. The Fame

And last but not least a great gift for any Lady Gaga fan is her catchy tunes.
