Are you looking for a unique wedding or anniversary gift?  Do you want to offer a gift that is fun and brings laughter in the bedroom? Well, I think I have the right gift idea for you!

The “His & Hers Sheet Set”

His & Hers Sheet Set from www.BedHog.com

If you want to stay away from any conventional gift and offer something fun and unique, I suggest the “His & Hers Sheet Set” from www.BedHog.com. The set is made of 1 flat sheet, 1 fitted sheet and 2 pillowcases. The 100% cotton sateen sheets are white with a stylish “His” and “Hers” print on them. A line down the middle will delimitate the two sides and help reveal who the real Bed Hog is!! The flat and fitted sheets are reversible so partners have a choice on which side they want to sleep.

The set comes in King ($119.99) and Queen ( $99.99) sizes. I wish they had a California King size to fit MY bed! hahaha Anyway, this would be an excellent choice for a unique and special gift! One of my favorites!

For $29.99, you can buy a separate pillowcases set; they even offer pillowcases sets for Gay Couples or singles who like to have the bed all to themselves!

Who is Behind BedHog.com?

The story goes that Sue and Patrick were newlyweds when all of a sudden they had an important debate in the bedroom. The topic: who was hogging more than their fair share of the bed?! In order to find out, they created the Bed Hog sheets. So, now they are sleeping on their own Bed Hog sheets and are happier than ever!

Christmas Card. Photo courtesy of Stamp Not Included

Christmas cards are a great tradition. They are a simple way to connect and spread holiday cheer with friends and relatives. There are so many options when it comes to Christmas cards– funny ones, religious ones, artsy ones, sparkly ones, homemade ones. How can you possibly choose? Here are some ideas for places to find the best Christmas cards, depending on your style and your budget.

Photo Christmas Cards

Since one of the main purposes of a Christmas card is to fill your friends in on the past 12 months, a photo can be a great way to bring them up to date. Several sites offer easy opportunities to upload a photo and design your own card. Try Shutterfly or PhotoWorks.

Christmas Cards that Support a Cause

Christmas cards are meant to spread love– why not let your actions speak louder than your words by supporting a non-profit organization with your Christmas cards? That’s the idea behind Cards that Give, a site developed with the purpose of promoting non-profit greeting cards. Cards that Give only includes qualified charities that have been reviewed by Charity Navigator, a watchdog organization.

Christmas Cards Designed by You

There’s no way to make a greeting card more personal than by designing a card yourself. At Moo.com you can upload photos, or combine Moo designs to create your own cards. Another cool thing about Moo.com is that you can design up to 25 different cards in each pack you order. So if you like variety, then this is a great option.

Homemade Christmas Cards

For those with a crafty side, try making your own Christmas cards. Need ideas? Check out ScrapVilliage’s Christmas card gallery and then head to your local craft store for supplies like paper, stamps and stickers. Surely your effort and care will not go unnoticed when your homemade Christmas card shows up in the mailbox.

While we should give to the less fortunate year around, the holiday season is when more of our attention falls on those in need. There are plenty of opportunities in every community to help the homeless, the hungry or the poor. Here are a few ways to give gifts to the less fortunate.

Give Food

Give the gift of food to a hungry person (or two!) by cleaning out your pantry or making a special trip to the grocery store. Include a variety of canned goods and non-perishable items like pasta or pancake mix.

Give Baby Supplies

Your local women’s shelter may have a variety of items on their wish list this holiday season. Call and ask for specifics or give them the gift of baby supplies like diapers, formula or clothing to help the mother’s with young children.

Give Clothing

Clean our your closet or your attic. Pack up clothing you don’t wear anymore and gift it to a local thrift store. That way someone less fortunate will be able to use it and you’ll be supporting a worthwhile cause.

Give Toys

Christmas is a very special time of year for children. But for struggling families, purchasing Christmas gifts can be a challenge. Try buying toys for needy children through a program in your community. Check with the local Salvation Army office about taking care of a child’s wish list this Christmas.

Give Pet Supplies

Cats and dogs are among the less fortunate and they need gifts, too. Take pet food, pet beds and toys to your local animal shelter.

Give Blankets

As the temperatures drop, give the gift of blankets to a homeless shelter. Your gift will help someone stay a little warmer this winter.

Give Love

Giving gifts to the less fortunate doesn’t have to mean an expensive trip to the shopping mall. Bake some treats and take them to a local shelter. Hand them out and strike up a conversation. Showing that you care will be a gift they won’t forget.

Unorganized Ribbon. Photo courtesy of africankelli

Ribbon can be a beautiful addition to any package– but it can also make a huge mess. Is your ribbon sitting in a pile of unraveled spools? Keep your beautiful ribbon from becoming a tangled knot with these ideas for organizing your ribbon.

Wire Hanger

Store your ribbon neatly in a closet so you can grab the perfect color and the perfect amount any time you need it. Simply take a wire hanger, and untwist the top using a pair of needle-nose pliars. Thread your spools of ribbon through the wire so that they are resting in a line on the bottom of the hanger. Then, twist the wire back together. Now your ribbon is ready to go!

Shoe Box

A shoe box is a great way to keep ribbon easily accessible and completely organized. Line your ribbon spools up snugly in the bottom of a shoe box. Make sure they are all facing the same way. Now mark the side of the box with a pen so you know where to make holes for the ribbon to come out. Make one mark for each spool of ribbon. Cut small holes in the places you marked and thread your ribbon through. Put the lid of the box back on and lightly secure with tape or a rubber band. Any time you need ribbon just pull the right amount through the hole.

Storage Box

If you’re looking for a non-DIY way to organize ribbon, pick up a ribbon storage box like this one from Martha Stewart Crafts. It’s $16.99 and will hold several rolls of different sizes. This plastic storage box from CraftMates includes 17 removable dividers and costs $9.99.
