Post by Administrator on 01/30/2008

lug.jpgIt’s not easy to find that perfect traveling companion…your friend, your spouse, your dog? Or how about a perfect bag? Yes, why not travel wherever you need to go alone, with only your ideal travel bag to talk to? But not just any travel bag, a Lug travel bag. Lug created their wonderful travel items keeping in mind how the average person travels, and the struggles and hassles you can encounter along the way. The idea is to ensure that your Lug travel items are NEVER a hassle…they will be the one thing that WON’T go wrong when you travel!

Lug items have been pursued widely and have really received raving reviews. “This holds everything you need in separate compartments. If your thighs don’t make you want to exercise, maybe a wonderful workout bag will get you up and running” – from the Oprah magazine about the Koie Workout Lug.
Time Magazine asks, “Can the right bag motivate you to go to the gym? The Lug Puddle Jumper has a separate compartment for shoes and other internal dividers to keep sweaty clothes away from clean. Extra side pockets help keep toiletries and other personal items organized”.
Lug items have also been positively reviewed and featured in “In Style” Magazine, “Oxygen” Magazine, “Women’s Health” Magazine, and “Gift and Decorative” Magazine.

Fortunately for all our customers, here at MyGiftee.com we stock a generous handful of the quality items created by Lug! Firstly, for making travel as comfortable as possible, we have a great Lug travel blanket with pillow which comes in 3 beautifully autumnal colors; grass green, chocolate brown and crimson red. The great thing about this set, which was featured in Oprah’s ‘O’ Magazine, is that it is so compact but offers everything that you need. The cozy soft blanket comes out of its pouch, and then once you blow up the pillow, the pouch becomes your soft pillow case! It’s perfect!

Next up we have the adorable beanie chairs, available from MyGiftee.com within a gift set that comes with “Shuga Buds” digital stereo earphones. The beanie chairs are available in 8 colors, and act as little comfortable chairs for your iPod, mobile phone or keys. So, you’ll always know where your gadgets are…relaxing on their beanie chairs!

Then we have the very popular Puddle Jumper Gym or Overnight Bag which is available in 3 energetic and bright colors (to inspire you to work out!); green grass, ocean blue and chocolate brown. This item has also been reviewed on Oprah’s ‘O-List’ because it really is very cool and functional. It has lots of storage room, a perfect sized pouch at the front for your shoes (see ‘More Images’ at the above link), a detachable mirror, an interior bottle holder, and many more features.

Other great items by Lug which we stock here at MyGiftee.com are the colorful luggage belts which wrap around your luggage to prevent accidental opening and to assure that your luggage will stand out on the carousel. For a perfect day bag we have a lightweight and durable messenger bag which has special padded pockets for iPods or mobile phones and is available in black or red. Last but not least, as another choice for a day bag, we have a Mini-Puddle bag which is great for the gym or just any time when you will be out for the entire day and need all your accessories with you.

Our MyGiftee.com Lug products are fantastic; durable, fashionable, and created with the utmost functionality in mind. Now, having been so well reviewed in such influential magazines as the Oprah magazine, they are also very trendy so frankly, you need a Lug item for yourself!

Show Your Affection With Valentine’s Day Gifts For Her

Post by Administrator on 01/26/2008

for-blog4.jpgIf traditional Valentine’s Day gifts like chocolate and flowers just won’t cut it for that girl on your Valentine’s Day list, we know how difficult it can be to find that perfect, unique gift. You walk aimlessly around your local mall for hours, but nothing appeals to you. Instead of throwing your arms up in frustration, we’ve compiled some great gifts for her by personality type.

The Go-Getter
Know a gal who is highly motivated and won’t stop til she reaches the top? Your mover-and-shaker may enjoy being busy twenty-four hours a day, but is probably also suffering from some stress. This Valentine’s Day, spend the day pampering your favorite go-getter. If you can get away for the day, go to a bed and breakfast or a favorite hotel for a change of scenery. Give her relaxing massages and enjoy a calm dinner indulging in your favorite treats. Spice up those massages with soothing massage cream like the Kamasutra Delights Tin.

The Outdoor Adventurer
Does she prefer rock climbing over shopping on 5th Avenue? If so, spend Valentine’s Day enjoying a walk together outside. If it’s still a little chilly, spend a relaxing day inside watching a movie about an outdoor adventure and sipping hot chocolate. If you’re in need of a vacation, go somewhere warm where you can spend the vacation outdoors, like kayaking and enjoying a picnic near the river. Unique gifts for her include the Travel Mug Gift Set so your beloved can enjoy a cup of warm coffee on her morning walk.

The Free Spirit
If your Valentine loves all things Bohemian, then you’ll need much more than chocolates to show your affection this Valentine’s Day. Take her to her favorite coffee-shop, and whip her up a delicious dinner at home. Go see an art film or enjoy live music from your date’s favorite band. You’ll need to think outside the box for Valentine’s Day gifts – try the Candles & Tea Gift Set or the Brown Photo Gift Set.

Au Natural
Does your Valentine’s Day date prefer all things organic? If green is her thing, then nature themed gifts will ensure your love continues to grow during every season. You may want to stay away from the roses and opt for cute plants like bonsai trees that she can care for all year long. Our Garden in the Bag has all the essentials for growing your own flowers or herbs. We recommend combining it with a cute card that tells your date how much you want your love to continue growing.

At My Giftee.com, you can find tons of great Gifts For Her that are perfect for Valentine’s Day. Be sure to check out our Valentine’s Day Gifts ideas too!

The Guy’s Guide to Creative Valentine’s Day Dates

Post by Administrator on 01/26/2008

for-blog1.jpgFor many men out there, hearing the mere words “Valentine’s Day” results in a scared shudder. We know how difficult it can be to find that perfect present and choose just the right spot for a date. It’s time to relax – we’ve brainstormed and created a list of Valentine’s Day date ideas so you can focus on what really matters on Valentine’s Day – that special girl in your life.

Date #1 – A Walk in The Park
If you live in an area where it’s warm outside on Valentine’s Day, take your special someone for a relaxing stroll in the park. Pack a picnic lunch – even if you’re not a chef, she’ll find it adorable that you took the time to make (or buy!) delicious sandwiches and snacks. Be sure to bring a blanket to relax on. Save the huge bouquet of flowers for dinner time – give her a single rose or pick her a cute flower that she can take with her on the walk. You’ll have her swooning in no time!

Date #2 – Dinner and a Movie
If you and your Valentine’s Day date are more of the traditional type, try dinner and a movie – with a twist. If you have pictures of you and her on a digital camera or other media type that you can save to a computer, create a simple photo slide show of you both. If you’re a little unsure on how to create a photo slide show, ask a tech savvy friend for some help. Cook her favorite dinner and set the table with elegant glassware like the Pink Table Gift Set. Dim the lights and place candles on the table to give it a romantic look. Then, tell her you’d like to watch a movie together on your computer. She’ll be delighted and surprised when she sees it’s a movie full of photos of the two of you!

Date #3 – Love Song
Music is extremely powerful and can bond two people together. If you and your special someone have similar tastes in music, take her to a concert for Valentine’s Day. Be sure the type of music reflects your personality as a couple – if you prefer a calm setting, hard rock may not be the ideal concert for you. Take her to dinner first, and then surprise her with the concert tickets! If you’d prefer it to be just the two of you, check out our Heart Box & Music Gift Set. It comes with a cd that includes all those classic love songs that are perfect for slow dancing.

Date #4 – A Cup of Coffee
If your date doesn’t like a lot of fuss, or if you are taking out a girl you just started dating, a coffee shop is the perfect place for you. You can enjoy a relaxing cup of coffee and chat about what’s going on in each other’s lives. Before you go out for coffee, give her a coffee themed gift, like the Coffee with Music Gift Set. Every time she has a cup of coffee she’ll think of you!

Whichever date you choose, be sure it reflects her personality. You don’t need to take her to a fancy restaurant for her to have a great Valentine’s day date, she’ll love just being with you! Check out our Gifts For Her Guide and Valentine’s Day Gifts Guide to find the right gift to go along with the date.
