A person can be young at heart no matter their age. It’s a feeling, an attitude, and a mindset, and it’s golden when it’s caught on camera!
The sparkle in their eyes and their fun and youthful personality should be celebrated and remembered.
You can do both by giving a photoshoot to someone in their golden years that really lets them shine! It’s an experience they won’t forget because they’ll have print and digital photos to remind them.
Once you’ve gifted them the photoshoot, help the person brainstorm ideas for the theme, location, outfits to wear (or have fun with costumes!), and props to use. Planning it can be as fun as the photoshoot itself!
Just IMAGINE photos of great-grandpa, great-grandma, grandpa or grandma, etc. getting their photos taken and…
Merino wool is not traditional wool. It’s much softer and lighter. It has amazing qualities such as being all-natural, moisture-wicking (perfect for people with sweaty feet like me), antimicrobial, and breathable.

For some people, this is their favorite season of the year. They go crazy for it!
I’m not talking about fall y’all. Or about winter, spring or summer.
I’m talking about Pumpkin Spice season! When pumpkin spice everything is available for a limited-time-only.
I myself go crazy over Pumpkin Spice cereal.
I once made a Pumpkin Spice Gift Basket for a client. This particular client had a tradition of hand-delivering appreciation gifts to their most important clients around Thanksgiving.
The Pumpkin Spice Gift Basket came with a decorative tag that read…
“We’re as crazy about you as we are pumpkin spice!”
I’ve recent come across another website www.thisiswhyimbroke.com that is full of ridiculous and unique gifts you won’t find anywhere else.
When you take a look at the website, you’ll see how people could easily be tempted to buy items that could make them go broke. They may be ridiculous but they’re also funny and cool!
Let me give you a sample of the ridiculous gifts, and there are tons of them!
We’ve had several graduations in our family this year, and it reminded me of one of my favorite graduation gifts.
The funny thing is… I gave the gift to myself in celebration of earning my Master’s degree from the University of Oklahoma.
I wanted a gift with my alma mater’s logo that I would use for years and years to remind me of my college experience.
I bought myself a jumbo college mug with the OU logo and name. The size was perfect for soup, cereal and coffee!
It was thick, heavy and durable, and I knew it would last forever.
As I grew older, my OU shot glasses stopped getting used as much, and my OU shirts competed for wear time with my Oklahoma City Thunder basketball shirts.
I continued to use my beautiful crimson jumbo mug. When I brought it to work people would comment on it. Who would have thought it would make a great conversation starter?!
If you are looking for a graduation gift with a lot of staying power, give a jumbo college mug to a graduate from the school they will be attending or the school where they graduated.
Have you ever been clicking around on the Internet and accidentally stumbled across an amazing website? That happened to me recently, and I thought to myself, “Jackpot!”
The website, www.Vat19.com, sells all kinds of weirdly awesome gifts you would never find anywhere else. You have to check out for yourself the unique gifts, food, toys, home decor, clothing, and gifts they sell.
If you’re looking for weird or awesome gifts for children and adults, Vat19.com has something you’ll think is perfect.
The website sells the Human Slingshot which turns human bodies into bouncing pinballs inside a giant stretchable band. Not crazy or wild enough for your needs? How about the “What’s That Smell? Party Game” that includes scents of toe cheese, diaper blowout, B.O., and hot chunky vomit. I dare you to play that game!
They even have prank gifts like the “Prank Thank You Card” that plays music that can’t be turned off. The music plays on for 3 or more hours until the battery dies. For a tricky twist, if the person tries to rip up the card to get to the battery to make the music stop, a hidden glitter bomb inside the card will explode in their face.
The Stank Prank Candle also has a tricky twist. It starts off with a wonderful scent of sweet apples and then a few hours later it smells like farts.
It’s rare to come across something that you’ve never seen before or experienced anything like it. The Buddha Board Enso definitely caught my eye!
Imagine drawing, painting and writing on a board with a water brush and creating images with a rich, inky Japanese look. As the water slowly evaporates, your art will magically disappear allowing you to create a whole new masterpiece.
My BFF, Linda, and I met in 1976 and are complete opposites. She is quiet. I’m loud. She loves to read. I love to dance. She enjoys museums. I enjoy snow skiing. Get the picture?
I had two problems. I wanted to be able to digitize my notes, and I wanted to stop killing trees. I needed a solution.
I’m a person who takes a lot of handwritten notes. I prefer to hand write things because my brain is able to retain the information better. Anyone else like me in that way?
I was speaking at a conference out of state when another speaker shared the perfect solution–The Rocketbook.
Smart, Reusable Notebook
The Rocketbook is a spiral notebook with reusable pages that can be completely erased with a few swipes of a damp cloth. It’s like magic!
It’s also a smart notebook because with the Rocketbook app, you can take a photo (scanning it) of your notes and immediately send it to a specified online folder located on your Google Drive, iCloud, Dropbox, etc. Or you can email it to yourself.
If you send it to Evernote, it makes your notes searchable!
