Power of the Middle Ground
The Power of the Middle Ground

We featured Power of the Middle Ground: A Couple’s Guide to Renewing Your Relationship in our 2009 Valentine’s Gift Guide.

“The book provides compassionate and pragmatic help for couples in need of guidance. Author Marty Babits, a therapist and educator, shows couples how to realize their potential for intimacy and understanding. The Middle Ground he speaks of is not a place for compromise; it is a blame-free zone where couples learn to create emotional safety and rebuild damaged trust.

Vivid guidelines, exercises, tips and vignettes bring the Middle Ground concepts alive. Using what is possible as its longitude and what is positive for its latitude, a course beyond conflict and on to forgiveness and reconnection is charted. Readers welcome aboard.”

More details on the author and the book can be found at powerofthemiddleground.com.

You can purchase the Power of the Middle Ground: A Couple’s Guide to Renewing Your Relationship at Amazon for only $14.

Funny Gift For Men

Jan 122009

When it comes to receiving gifts, I can tell you that there aren’t nearly enough FUNNY GIFTS FOR MEN on the market these days! If you want a nice tie or a handkerchief or an ascot there are countless online and retail outlets in which to find them. But funny gifts for men? They’re far and few between unless you really look!

There are not enough funny gifts for men because men aren’t encouraged to be funny! Men are encouraged to be sympathetic! Men are encouraged to be more “in tune” with their emotions.  Men are even encouraged to cry – but men are not encouraged to laugh hysterically!

Oh sure – maybe the guy can get away with a little snicker here and there. You know: “polite laughter” where you turn your head slightly and cover your mouth with a napkin so no one can hear your snort.  But Three Stooges-knee slapping-type laughter is surely frowned upon by our significant others!

With Valentine’s Day right around the corner you can just imagine how thrilled I was to come across some truly funny gifts for men! Guys, this Valentine’s Day you should practically demand that your significant other bequeaths to you a Control-Your-Woman Talking Remote Control (only at baronbob.com)!

It goes without saying that men everywhere should honor their spouse with flowers and chocolates and enough hearts to make even the Red Cross jealous! But in return, your significant other should encourage the beauty of a hearty laugh with the Control-Your-Woman Talking Remote Control at baronbob.com.

The Control-Your-Woman Talking Remote Control features 18 clever phrases including these Valentine’s Day favorites:

  • “Zip it!”
  • “Clean up on aisle four!”
  • “All right, hand over the credit cards!”
  • “Feed me!”
  • “I’m outta here!”
  • & many, many more!

There’s even a male version of the talking remote control for your wife.

Sure you can settle for a new hammer or an electric staple gun the next time you’re in line for a gift. You can even request a re-mastered DVD version of Love Story. But a good belly laugh is priceless.

Funny gifts for men? I think I’ll order two!

1. Identify a charity you would like to support
2. Volunteer
3. Dress your best—put your best foot forward
4. Smile
5. Wear large sunglasses
6. Wear scarves on your bag, neck or around your shoulders. It glams up any outfit!
7. Clean your car so it sparkles and is neat on the inside
8. Write thank you notes
9. Buy either monogrammed or cute note cards—Lilly Pulitzer has beautiful stationary
10. Have fun. Public Relation firms and Non Profits have free parties every day—get on their lists and go
11. Get your nails and hair done and look photo-opp perfect (don’t forget to smile)
12. Learn how to introduce yourself with a firm handshake and look in their eyes”

You can read an excerpt from her book on her website at SocialClimbers.net; to buy the book please visit SocialClimbers.net, Amazon, Borders or Barnes&Noble. Great Valentine’s gift for the book lover!
