Greetings and Happy Holidays

It?s that time of the year againGreetings and Happy Holidays! It?s that time of the year again. The holidays are approaching and that means shopping for that special someone in your life. Let Regal Magazine assist you in making this year?s gift-giving a pleasurable and memorable one for all involved. No matter what your budget may be, there is sure to be something on the list that will bring a smile not only to the receiver?s face but also the giver?s wallet. With that, keep in mind that women like gifts that show that some thought went into it and it is a reflection of them and their uniqueness. So if possible, stay away from gift cards and start preparing now while there is still some time left. Here are a few of this season?s favorites: Victoria?s Secret Not just lingerie anymore, Victoria?s Secret also has fragrances and make-up and other little secrets that are sure to be a hit. (FYI: Only buy lingerie if you know your lady?s size. Do not offend her by purchasing something that will not fit. And remember, you are buying her something that SHE likes. Save your wants for Valentine?s Day!) Victoria?s Secret is probably the only gift card that she can use and will probably approve without any problems. What woman wouldn?t love something from VS? And lucky for you, the pretty paper and bag is wrapping in itself. Perfume With all of Hollywood coming out with their own fragrances, from Beyonce to Diddy to Usher, this season there is sure to be one on your lady?s list. Fragrances can be tricky if you do not know what you are doing. Ask yourself these questions to help select the one that best suits her and is a reflection of her personality. 1) What scents please her? (Musk, floral, fruity, oriental, spices, sporty) 2) What fragrance has she worn in the past? 3) Does the scent match who she is or could you replace the name of the fragrance with her name? Remember, the fragrance consultants are there to help you. If you were able to answer the three questions, they should be able to recommend the fragrance that the lady in your life will love and will make you think of her every time you smell it. Jewelry Diamonds are still a girl?s best friend. If diamonds are a bit steep for your budget, opt for something a little ?less flashy.? There are so many outlet stores throughout the country today with beautiful pieces of jewelry, but for a fraction of the price. Also, there are plenty of jewelry stores that are running various sales because of the holidays. A nice, personal touch would be to have something engraved on it. Check with the jeweler to see if you still have time. Spas A day of relaxation and pampering from head to toe would definitely make her feel like the queen she is. There are several ?packages? you can choose from that range in different prices. Ask around for spas that cater to the needs of your lady. Request to leave the ?day of service? blank so she can pick a day that would accommodate her schedule. A nice touch would be to make reservations at her favorite restaurant afterwards, and make the day all about her. If you are lucky, your thoughtfulness may help you benefit from her day by ending it with some pampering that she brings upon you. Tickets to a Show/Concert/Play Are any good events coming your way? Is it something or someone that your lady has been dying to see? Tickets are great ?stocking stuffers? and women love to go to events with their man. Splurge a little on ?good seats.? Even if shows are not your cup of tea and you would rather be somewhere else, imagine how happy you would make her. In addition, you are showing an interest in what she likes! Coupon Book This one is a favorite and it will not cost you a thing! OK, this is where your creativity kicks in. You set the rules on this one and be specific. Make or buy a book. If you buy one, make sure the pages are blank so you can write on it. Each page represents a coupon. Each coupon will represent something that you are willing to do for her. Make sure you set expiration dates on it. Otherwise, she will use it at a time you cannot or will not be available. So set the standards once she uses a coupon. For example: 1) Dinner passes?allows her to not have to cook that night. You cook or take the family out for dinner. 2) Night out with the girls pass?she can have an evening with the girls while you or someone else keeps an eye on the children. 3) Night of romance pass?you get the idea! The possibilities are endless, so be creative! There are so many great gifts out there this season. But remember, quality has always been better than quantity. Showing your mate that you took the time to find something that was thoughtful and reflects her personal style will make this a memorable season for years to come. Happy shopping!

Budget Friendly Gifts

Rating:9.7
Today's Christmas gifts do not have to be massively expensive in order to make the recipient know how much you care. In fact, during these post-Katrina and wartime times lavish gifts seem a little more than slightly excessive. Remember also that there are people, even in this country who are going hungry during this holiday season. With these thoughts in mind, remember that those gifts that are from the heart are the gifts that mean the most.
Hand made or crafted gifts are often among the most loved and treasured of those received. Rather than spending a small fortune buying clothes for those on your list, consider knitting something for them to wear instead. Other great clothing gift ideas can be found shopping at vintage or second hand clothing stores. Not only can you find great deals on clothes in these stores but also on costume jewelry, which can be a huge hit with the teens on your shopping list. The creative shopper can also find unique and hip glassware and collectibles in these shops as well.
The many dollar stores that are cropping up around the country are also great places to discover budget friendly gifts or goodies to fill gift baskets. You can go into one of these stores with $5 or $10 and put together quite a nice gift collection if you use your imagination. The key of course is to create a theme with your goodies. You can do this on a slightly more expensive scale by shopping at Wal-mart or other discount merchants.
If you like the gift baskets you find in department stores, try putting together a gift basket of your own. It's much less expensive if you do the labor and you can be sure that all the gifts in your basket are gifts that will be cherished by the recipient (provided he or she is someone you know very well) at a fraction of the cost. You can find baskets quite inexpensively and if you're making several baskets you should only need to make one investment in things such as ribbon, tinsel, and other decorations, which will make subsequent baskets less expensive.
If you have a knack for baking and candy making, these make wonderful gift ideas. Many of us are so busy running to and fro during the holiday season that we sometimes aren't able to find the time to do the baking that reminds us so much of Christmas past. By baking cookies or making candy as gifts, you�re sharing those reminders. Wrap them in inexpensive wax paper or cellophane or a decorated shoebox and voila! Instant gift that

Dolls History

"HistoryArchaeological evidence places dolls as foremost candidate for oldest known toy, having been found in Egyptian tombs which date to as early as 2000 BC. In Egypt, as well as Greece and Rome, it was common to find them in the graves of children. Most were made of wood, although pottery dolls were buried with children from wealthier families. Dolls with movable limbs and removable clothing date back to 600 BCE.
Europe later became the center of dollmaking. In the United States, dollmaking became an industry in the 1860s, after the Civil War. The development of plastics after World War II led to the manufacture of new types of dolls and brought down their price.
Dolls have featured in modern art and fine art photography, notably in surrealist works. The "evil doll" has been a feature of horror literature, horror films and animation since the 1950s.
In Japan and South Korea, fashion doll collecting is on the rise, and even popular among adults. In Jesup Iowa, a doll Factory is in construction in Jacob's House, Main Street Iowa.
MaterialsDolls over the ages have been made from every conceivable material: bisque, celluloid, china, clay, cloth, corn husks paper, plastic, polymer clay, porcelain, resin, rubber, vinyl, wax wood, bone, ivory, papier-mâché, leather etc."
