Have a wedding to go to?

Wedding season is coming fast and I’m sure some of you are looking for some great gifts to get the happy couple. Well I have a few ideas you might like along with a few discounts for you to enjoy too. The economy stinks, no one will blame you for looking for a good deal.

The first is idea I have for you is to check out Champagne Gifts & Baskets from GiftTree.com. They have some of the most amazing gift baskets I have ever seen. They also have a few adult gifts that you could give the couple before the wedding.

You could also check out Ricceri - Tuscan Ceramics & Italian Pottery - Barn for some unique items for there home.

I think one of the best gifts you can get for them, if they are into this type if thing is a membership for a something of the month club. There are many to choose from such as Coffee of the Month Club, Wine of the Month Club and the Pizza of the Month Club. All of these will give you a unique gift that will last for at least a year.

I’m going to keep looking for some more great gift ideas for wedding season. Check back soon for those and more deals and reviews on everyday and not so everyday items.

Rewrite History on your computer

I have always found that if someone is entertained then they learn more. Since I was a teenager I have played a game called , you may have heard of it. This game is a strategy and war game that allows you to be a great leader of one of the many civilizations that have existed on this planet. The best part about it is that young teens can learn a little about each civilization and some of the things they have accomplished.

The most recent addition to the Civilization group is Sid Meiers Civilization IV Beyond the Sword. I just picked up this game and at first I was frustrated by it. It’s different then the main Civilization IV game, but once you get use to it the game is great. There have been added leaders and events that make the game much more interesting. There have also been a few wonders and other things brought back from the previous civilization games. I’m guessing the company listened to their players.

The graphics are wonderful and it’s a great game to play, the only thing I would recommend is reading the system requirements carefully, if you have an older computer you probably won’t be able to play it. My computer is 5 years old and I had to update my graphics card 3 years ago to play the first issue of this game. Other then that it’s a great game, you do have to have the original Civilization IV to play it.

Low carb eating and good food

I am diabetic and yesterday I decided I needed a change, I pulled out a really great cookbook that I got a few months ago and started to check out recipes. I hadn’t really looked at it until now, but I’m glad I did.

The book is the Biggest Book of Diabetic Recipes(Better Homes & Gardens and it’s great not only for diabetics, but for anyone else who is watching their carbs. It has over 350 recipes and some sound really good. One I am going to try is the Greek style stuffed mushrooms. They only have 2 carbs per appetizer and they sound really good, but I am a fan of feta cheese and broccoli so that may be why.

The book set up is wonderful as the carb amount is in a huge red box. So if your looking for a set carb number you can easily find it. It’s also sectioned off into many different areas, such as appetizers, pork, beef and main dishes. There are of course some great dessert recipes as well.

Be Entertained and Save Money

Last year I bought through a gpt site I am on the Entertainment Book. This book is a huge book of coupons and discounts many that can be used over and over. I figured for me the book was a good investment as one coupon they have is for Fashion Bug and it’s 50% off one item. If I bought something that was $90 it would pay for the book and more. I didn’t spend that much but I did get my money back for the book in one purchase.

Books like these are a great way to save money. You can order a book for your area so that you get both local and national coupons to use. My book for example has coupons for Pizza Hut and for a local pizza place. They also have coupons and discounts for 1800 flowers and Omah Steaks. Last year I saved over 200 using this book, just on places and thing that I would have bought anyway. I actually saved a little more then that, but some of the things I bought I wouldn’t have without that coupon. Mostly more expensive clothing and an extra trip to the movies. I have gotten another one for this year and have used a few coupons so far. It’s a great product and one I will be getting every year as long as they make them.
