This knife boasts no fewer than no fewer than 87 tools offering 141 functions. The biggest in the world, The Swiss Army knife sets a new Guinness World Record as The biggest Swiss Army knife ever produced is Swiss. This XXL toolbox is manufactured by Wenger in Delémont, Jura Mountain, Switzerland. The Guinness World Records judges have just awarded it the title of “Most multifunctional penknife”.“And what if we put all our Swiss Army knife tools in one single model?” That is how, one morning, the biggest knife in the world was born. The initial aim was not to win the famous certificate, but simply to check that we were capable of achieving this technical feat. Then some collectors got wind of the existence of this unique model and were very keen to get their hands on it. So, exceptionally, we produced a second model for an enthusiast, then a third and a fourth and so on. Today, two cutlery specialists assemble this XXL toolbox by hand.
This model is the most coveted knife by collectors. And not without a reason! It contains everything that we could possibly include in a pocket knife! It even has a golf reamer, along with a magnifying glass, compass, hexagonal key, Philips screwdriver, multipurpose pliers, cigar cutter, laser pointer, etc.It weighs 1.345 kg and comes with a wooden case and a certificate.

Wedding Trends – Traditional or Innovative wedding planning

Wedding Trends – Traditional or Innovative wedding planning

With all the great innovative new trends for your wedding day out there you may want to look at incorporating at least one new trend into your wedding. This new trend could be in the area of your wedding day or perhaps your reception. This is your very special day. Do something that will reflect who you are and show your personality to your guest and make your wedding much more memorable.

Whether your wedding is a religious one or secular one many couples blend in a candle to the ceremony or perhaps the drinking of wine from two bottles poured in one cup. Many use sand blended from two cups and poured in to one larger cup. The sand is a great option as the rest of the wedding party can become involved in adding a handful of sand to the cup. This will add to the good luck of the Bride and Groom and be a lasting memory. Remember that this is your day of memories, every little thing you do is yours for a life time.

The reception

The reception is another time for the adding of new trend ideas. Some great ideas are unique shapes and colours. Look very carefully at perhaps going with ethnic food and ethnic music as well. My wedding was all white tables, white napkins white everything. Try going with colours and see the defence in your guest eyes. This is your wedding so reflect who you are and if you love blue then blue it is. A good option is with different shades of blue from the flowers to the table cloths down to the chairs.

Many couples are trying long rectangular tables that sit 12 over the traditional round tables. Try going with different sizes to match different groups your sitting at each table. You may want to have a drink ready at the reception for each guest. Maybe a pink lemonhead for the non drinkers and an ice filled tray with a unique vodka drink for the guest that does drink. Again each little difference you do is your own great memory.

Traditional dinning or a new trend

There are so many different concepts to the food end of things that this is where you can make real differences by adding a few new trends into your diner and evening. Some options are passing trays with unique textures to them. Interactive cooking is another option and you can try matching some entertainment to the foods your serving like Japanese drums to a sushi food station. Another option is classic guitarist or even a Spanish dancer. No Matter what your try this still adds a new and personal touch to your wedding and a great memory.

The Wedding Cake

I know that for many years the cake was a traditional display of decoration at the wedding. I however as do many modern couples and wedding planners think the wedding cake should taste like something. You will need to spend some time with the baker and talk about the design of the cake and perhaps tell him you would like each layer of the cake to have an exciting flavour and then add the design to that concept of the cake. If you’re going to serve the cake to the guest then wouldn’t it be nice if it tasted fantastic, now that`s a great lasting memory.

The Wedding cake Topper

For so many years the top of the cake has been adorned with the traditional sugar flowers and in many cases the statuette bride and groom. Times are a changing. There are so many great new trends for your wedding cake top. Some designs are Large hearts and angels or a design that go`s with your personality like a car or a bride and groom fishing. There are many comical toppers and the use of metals like silver and tin for initials. The point here is that again spend time think about your personality and style and remember sometimes old is new and you will see many new designs of the old bride and groom cake toppers but with a twist for the modern wedding. There are thousands of great toppers out there so don’t just go with the bakers few in the shop.

The wedding Dress

The problem with wedding dress trends is that they change as fast as I`m writing this article. The one thing we see is that colour is fine and if colour is what you would like to wear then go with some colour in your wedding dress. The point here again is this is your wedding and you should not be afraid to express yourself with a beautiful coloured wedding dress

Gifts for Bridesmaids – The personal touch

2009-05-17T23:25:00.000-07:00

Gifts for Bridesmaids – The personal touch

There are hundreds of very unique bridesmaid’s gifts on the market today. As a new bride there are a few things to remember. Personalities of each bridesmaid and your budget are two important items to think about. You want to spend time and pick out the perfect gift as this is a memorable event in your life and for the bridesmaids it is as well.

One great gift is perhaps a day at the spa. As the bride you want to look great and feel great for your special day and so should your bridesmaids. A great added gift could be a spa gift basket full of little relaxing products. Bridesmaids love Bath robes, and it is a unique gift for a bridesmaid. You can personalize it and even match them to your wedding colors. Monogramming the robes with their names or initials is a great way to personalize the gift. In the long run of a good bridesmaid gift it is not how much you spend. It is the personal touch you put into the selection of the gift and the fact your bridesmaids will remember the gift and your perfect wedding day for years to come.

Stress Relief

Stress can be a big part of any wedding planning. The bride and groom can have allot of stress and the bridesmaids and groomsmen should try to take some of it off them. Over the week of the wedding things happen and it is allot to deal with. As the wedding gets closer it may be time for a makeover party for you and your bridesmaids using a professional makeup artist. This would allow you and your bridesmaid’s to look perfect and save time and money and best of all relax. This is a good time to put on relaxing music and sit back and pamper yourself. Your bridesmaids will love you for it.

A Bridesmaid’s gift of jewellery

Jewelry is still one of the most popular bridesmaids gift there is. A beautiful bracelet or and necklace makes a perfect gift. The added feature is to personalise the gift with a small engraved note as a lasting memory of your wedding day. Pearls are another beautiful bridesmaid’s gift. Fresh water are a hot gift and again a gift that can be worn for years after the wedding day .

The free sample bag

This is one of those little gifts you need to think well ahead on and you may only have ever read it here. Every store, dental office or spa supply company has a host of free give always just sitting behind the counter. If you think about this you will come up with a list a mile long. Buy a unique bag for each bridesmaid and fill it with free give always like hand creams, lotions, lip stick, breath mints, snacks and a tooth brush. The companies love the advertising and believe me your bridesmaids will love you. All this just adds to your perfect Wedding Day. Ernest and Lee Gifts has gift baskets available across Canada, you may want to search our gift baskets in Canada page for even more Ideas about giving bridesmaids gifts

These are just a few bridesmaids’ gift ideas. Unique gifts are not hard to find and with online shopping you can plan ahead with less stress. Many online gift stores have a bridesmaid gift category filled with quality bridesmaid gifts.

Jewelry trends 2009: Mother Nature is back

2009-04-07T12:07:00.000-07:00

Jewelry trends 2009: Mother Nature is back

This year jewelry still rates high as a popular accessory and there doesn’t seem to be anything changing in the near future. Most women still love their jewelry and still want the look and still want to wear more and more unique jewelry. This year Mother Nature’s gems are big .

Gold plated jewellery

The wearing of gold and diamonds is starting to become very expensive and moving out of the price range of most women for every day wearing. For this reason, gold electroplating is now becoming the new look and the price is right. The two main types of plating are over a base metal like brass or copper but many better quality fashion pieces are gold over silver. These better quality fashion pieces are so well made and they may even come with a life time warranty.

The selection of jewelry this year is very good and the prices are just as good as more new companies are moving into this plaiting of base metals. You can find your favorite pieces in both white and gold looks for all your wardrobe needs. Some of the better companies are even moving into the tri- color gold’s, rose and green gold’s as well.

Silver is affordable

This year look for silver to be a big trend. The price of gold is high and silver is still at a price most people can afford. It may be that one could add a few good silver pieces to your collection and add a few of the plated pieces to wear as a full range of fashion accessories. Now all this said, Stainless steel is becoming a big seller on the market. It is a very hard material and both gold and silver bond to it and many companies are now making beautiful jewelry from it.

This year look for longer necklaces up to 60inches in length and many neck pieces will have beads and pearls on them. We see now that geometric designs are a big style this year. Circles, squares, rectangles are all in style as well pearls in fresh water and cultured are all part of the fashion trend.

Mother nature’s Gem

It is still said that every woman should have at least one good strand of cultured pearls in her jewlery box. Well if you don’t this is the year to make the buy. Of course one could hint and hope for the best but spending time and getting the color that matches your skin is very important. Good pearls go from pink to a yellow color and you need to hold them up to your skin and be sure the cultured pearls match your tones. Good pearls run from $500 to whatever you want to spend. Remember quality will always out last inexpensive. And this is the case with cultured pearls. Good quality pearls will last a lifetime.

Long fresh water pearls still are selling very well and wrapping them up and twisting them are great accessories this year. You can find fresh water pearls in a rainbow of colors and can match to almost any dress or top you can think of as there at many colors to chose from, This year pink, pale peach , gold and bronze are just a few of the hot colors.

Eye of the Tiger

It seems this year that Mother Nature is playing a big part in the fashion trends. Warm stones like torques and jasper are being designed into great necklaces. Look for n large pendants to hang from the beads and chains. Tiger’s eye and Onyx as well as lapis are all popular this year.

Vintage meets modern

This year along with the return of Mother Nature’s gem stones comes Rhine stones and beads in long necklaces along with earrings to match. Found in small and large designs they are all back in style and representing the wearer s personal touch. Antique and vintage are in as well as modern styles. The whole tone is a blend of natural and modern looks with semi precious stones and metals.

Quality lasts a lifetime

The overall trend is really, nothing is out but the natural look is in. Pearl and diamond studs are still on the trend list for this year but as jewelry comes and go’s the two are always in the style as timeless pieces of jewelry accessories. For many women there are just a few jewelry items that are a must and a strand of cultured pearls and studs go with almost any fashion statement. Diamond studs can be worn with jeans or a black gown. Remember the quality goes a long way with both these items so watch for quality imposters when buying both pearls and diamonds.

So in a nut shell there is something out there for any style and anyone, go and enjoy shopping and help yourself feel great. The jewelry market is full of great products for any personal preference.

Be Happy !

Groomsman gifts – Gifts for the Groomsmen – Unique gift ideas

Groomsman gifts – Gifts for the Groomsmen – Unique gift ideas

April 2009

Groomsmen’s Gifts - Tips on buying a great groomsmen’s gift.

Every guy will at some point complain about his bulky wallet and how his Back hurts from sitting on it. This could be from all the money in it but most likely it’s from his collection of paper he won’t throw away. This is why money clips make great gifts for groomsmen. There are many styles of money clips and it is a good idea to look for one that can be engraved to give it a personal touch.

Not Traditional but classic.

The wedding day is not far off and the Groom is thinking of gifts for the groomsmen. The first thing most men think of is the traditional Flask. Now for the most part most guys drink and I’m sure the groom will know who to give a flask to, however if alcohol is not what you want to promote for the wedding gift then think about a gift that is both useful and will last a life time . A Swiss Army knife is a great gift for groomsmen. Any groomsmen will think about the perfect wedding day when he uses the knife for years to come.

Who is the man?

It is a good idea to look at the personality of each groomsman. A groom will ask his closest friends and buddies to stand up for him. This helps when choosing a gift for each groomsman. Some thing to remember is that you don’t want your groomsmen thinking that the gift you got them is just traditional and no thought went into it. Think about their interests and hobbies and look for an appropriate gift.

Personalise the Gift

One of the best gifts to give is a personalised gift. Engrave their name on it and perhaps a Thank You from yourself. This will show them you went out of your way to find the gift you knew they would like. The groom may have a inside joke or a witty saying you could engrave on the gift that only the boys would understand, this adds a personal touch and makes a gift truly appreciated.

Wedding Gifts for the Bride– Tips on the giving of Wedding Gifts

A wedding is the perfect time to celebrate and to give a unique and memorable gift. A wedding is without exception the best and perhaps the biggest event in a couples life. There are a few other great gift occasions like a new baby but today we will talk about the wedding gift. Here are a few tips and ideas for gift giving pre wedding and on the wedding day.

Engagement party gifts

For some an engagement party is a great way to tell the family and friends of the great event about to come to the engaged couple. This can just be a party without gifts but for the most part friends know or the engagement and bring gifts to the party. The gifts are sometimes gag gifts but sometimes a friend will bring a very meaningful gift as well. If you keep the party very informal then will not be obligated to bring gifts. The more formal the party then most likely gifts will arrive. Remember that any gift you receive at the engagement party should be reciprocated with a nice Thank you note.

Wedding Gifts

Wedding Gifts can be brought to the wedding or sent out after receiving the invitation to the wedding. You may want to check and see if the couple has registered on a gift registry first. Many couples don’t so you can talk to the family and see what the couple could use as they just start out. Many new young couples need almost everything a new home could use. I personally would stay away from the flat grill as many couples get two or three of them. The point is talk to someone in

the wedding party that knows what the couple could use and buy the wedding gift based on personality and love.

Wedding Shower Gifts

Over the years the wedding showers have start to become a bride and groom affair. This is where the bridal shower gift can be very small and casual or big and elaborate. As before it depends on the invitation sent out as to how formal it is. A great Shower party is one full of friends and family and a time to reflect over the couple’s lives before the big wedding day. Many wedding showers have a theme to them. Usually the friends put together a Hawaiian night or a night related to the couple’s personality. You can even at this point extent the theme to the food and entertainment.

Rehearsal Dinner

Just before the wedding Day the couple gets together with the bridesmaids and groomsmen for a rehearsal dinner. This is a perfect time to exchange gifts from the bride and groom to the bridesmaids and groomsmen. This is a Thank You gift and great care should be taken in the choosing of this gift. The gift should be from the heart and if possible personalized in some way this makes the gift more memorable to the bridal party for years to come. Sometimes the wedding party will give a gift to the bride and groom as a just starting out gift.

Wedding Day Favours and gifts

The day of the wedding is here and as at many weddings now days the bride and groom have prepare a small gift or wedding favour for all their guests. This small gift is optional and is only for showing your appreciation of your guest and your way of saying Thank You for coming to our wedding. You can give this small gift to each couple or to each guest this is totally up to you. Some wedding couples spend allot on this favour but many keep it affordable and within the budget. You can find many traditional wedding favours but this is a great time to try a new trend and go with a gift that is relative to your personalities and your guest will find memorable.

The point in gifts for the wedding is that every gift you choose for all the different parts of the wedding should be heartfelt and chosen with love. Only in selecting your gifts this way will your wedding event be truly memorable for you and your guest.
