For the Skull Lovers

Post by Administrator on 05/20/2008

skull1.jpgAt MyGiftee.com, we pride ourselves on our wide selection of offerings. We truly believe that within our pages and pages of gift ideas, there is a perfect gift for every person. Some items are very popular and really go down well with almost anybody. Designer jewelry, stylish sunglasses, luxury spa items, ethnic candle sets, and romantically feminine gifts, all get swooped up by our eager customers. However, we also stock those items which perhaps not everybody would like, but one person would absolutely love. Our skull designed items are one example of that latter type of gift.

If you are a skull lover, or if your daughter, sun, husband or wife is a skull lover (though not in a weird way), then take a look at some of these gifts. Firstly, we have beautiful wraps designed by Valerie Perez which are colorful and cool. These lovely wraps come in five different designs, two of which are skull designs: “Skull Brown” and “Skull Pink”. These two wraps have stylish skull drawings surrounded by crystals, which creates a great contrast between delicacy and strength. These items wrap up neatly (pun intended) to be tucked away in your bag for traveling, or else you can keep them around the house for whenever you need them.

If you’re heading off on holidays or to the nearest beach, you can pair the above wrap by Valerie Perez with our Skull Flip Flops. Made by ‘Sugar Toes’, these flip flops are made out of genuine Brazilian Havaianas and decorated with beautiful swarovski crystals. Available in four different sizes, they are very comfortable, and really will make you stand out from the crowd with their silver skull decoration.

Team our third and final gift suggestion with any one of the previous gifts, or where it alone. Our silk skull scarves come in a gorgeous hand painted box with jester design. These items are Alexander McQueen copies and are available in black or white. They look great on plain outfits, so that all the focus is on the scarf. If we really want to stand out from the crowd, this scarf is for you!

Our skull gift items are just of the many groups of items which add such variety to our gift offerings at MyGiftee.com.

Fringe Studio Art Glass

Post by Administrator on 05/14/2008

The beautiful items produced by Fringe Studio Art Glass are becoming more and more popular every day. They make wonderful gifts for any time of the year, whilst at the same time, many people see the products and decide that that item would look great on their own mantelpiece or coffee table. Soon, everybody will have one of these products in their home, so hop on the bandwagon now and be amongst the first!

The delicate works of art created by Fringe Studio are really very interesting and unique, which is one of the reasons for their popularity. Another solid reason is the high quality workmanship that goes into the pieces, and the attention to detail that is invested in creating the final product. Unique, vintage images are printed onto solid glass to create vases, plates and photo frames. The result is an unforgettable piece that goes down a treat at any gift-giving occasion.

At MyGiftee.com we recommend the Fringe Studio collection for really special moments, such as birthdays, anniversaries or Mother’s Day. We stock quite a few of these wonderful items, as our customers generally purchase more than one gift, having completely fallen in love with the various pieces designed by Fringe Studio. Take a look at our Nest Candle Gift Set which is comprised of a colorful candle holder and a matching tray, both with bird nest designs. Both items are from the ‘There’s No Place Like Home’ collection and the gift set comes with a candle so your ‘giftee’ can use it straight away. A similar gift set but with different patterns is our Votive Holder and Tray Gift Set which is equally beautiful.

Another candle and tray gift set is the Candle and Tray Gift Set, both items are a beautiful emerald color green and have intricate black designs running across the surface. When you see the photos of this set, imagine how beautiful the candle holder will look when it has a candle burning inside it during the evening.
Another MyGiftee.com favorite is our Frame and Candle Gift Set which comes with a frame that holds a 4” x 6” photo and a tapered glass candle holder, with candle. Both items are designed with the same botanical pattern, which has a real feeling of a vintage item.

For those who love butterflies, and who doesn’t, we have a lovely Butterfly Vase and Tray Gift Set which comes with a vase measuring 8” in height and a tray which is 4.5” x 4.5”, all wrapped up in lovely gift wrapping with a little wire butterfly, for that extra touch. Finally, another beautifully unique product is our Fruit Vase and Tray Gift Set which comes with a tall flower vase and a printed tray, both with decorated with prints of apples, grapes and pears.

Give a truly unforgettable gift for a special friend, valentine, or family member.

Hammam

Post by Administrator on 05/7/2008

hammam.jpg
A Hammam, or Turkish Bath, is one of the most wonderful things that you could experience if you travel to Turkey one day. Popular in the Middle East for many reasons, going to a Hammam is a routine event, and certainly something that we in the West should consider taking up. If we all scheduled relaxation and self-care into our busy schedules, well, we would all be much more laid back.

Hammams are used for more than one reason; as places for social gatherings (what better time to have a chat with a friend than when you are totally relaxed?) and ritual cleansing (the steam completely allows toxins in the body to escape). The experience of the Hammam consists of first relaxing in the ‘warm room’ which is heated by a continuous flow of hot air, then moving to the ‘hot room’ which is, as the name entails, an even hotter room, before finally splashing with cold water. But it doesn’t end here. You then have a full body wash and then, the best part, receive a massage. You then head to the ‘cooling room’ to really dwell on your new found total relaxation.

The alternative name for Hammam; Turkish Bath, was created by Europeans finding out about this beautiful ritual through contact with the Ottomans in Turkey. However, Hammams are not found only in Turkey, but also Morocco, Syria, Iran and Yemen. At least once in their life, every person should travel to one of these countries and try out this luxurious experience for themselves.
However, if you don’t have time to do that right now, at MyGiftee.com we have two exotic gift sets which will, if not offer the full Hammam experience, evoke the same feelings of relaxation.

Firstly, we have an exotic Hammam Tea Gift Set which contains two beautifully decorated Moroccan tea glasses, a generous box of Hammam tea, and a pack of beverage sized Marrakech design paper napkins. With this set, you will be able to invite your friends over for a Moroccan tea, and really share your gift with the people you love. If you don’t buy this set for yourself, it also makes a wonderful gift, perhaps to someone who has visited Morocco and is yearning to go back.

Our second gift offering almost will give you an authentic Hammam experience, or as authentic experience as you can have in your own home. The Hammam Gift Set contains a pack of Hammam tea inspired by a traditional Turkish recipe, a Pain d’alep soap made with 80% olive oil and 16% laurel oil, a Sisal mitt for exfoliation, Pumice stones, and Massage oil made with olive and almond oils, black cumin and perfumed with essential jasmine oil. A truly luxurious and exotic gift!
Experience a little bit of the Middle East in your own home!

Unique Alesssi products

Post by Administrator on 05/3/2008

Alessi products are Italian, unique and well made. If that’s not enough to make you want to jump on the Alessi bandwagon and nab yourself an Alessi made gift for yourself or your friends and family, then read on; we think you’ll change your mind.

Alessi have been making household goods since the 1920’s and since the 1950’s has specialized in the production of stainless steel manufacturing. With its factory located in Crusinallo, Italy, it is one of the top producers of coffee makers, tea pots, cutlery, kitchen accessories, and well, the list goes on. The name Alessi, in Italy, is known over the whole country as makers of top quality goods.

Alessi works with talented designers to create its excellent products, a large number of which we sell here at MyGiftee.com. Want to see some of our favorite Alessi designs? Ok, let’s begin the slideshow…

First up, we have the wonderful Alessi Breakfast Gift Set which comes with a citrus juicer, a basket for boiling eggs and a salt and pepper set. It comes in three bright colors; blue, yellow or orange, and is really unique and fun. Click on the above link to see the photos; you’ll love it!

To demonstrate the diversity within the Alessi range, the next products we will talk about are the Alessi corkscrews, which are beautiful solid pieces, made out of stainless steel and available in two different designs; the ‘Anna G’ which is designed in the shape of a woman in a dress, and the ‘Honolulu Man’ which is the shape of a little man with flamboyant clothes; very cute!

For coffee lovers, we have the lovely and cool Black Press Coffee Maker which is super fun and cute, created in the design of an alien. It is made out of thermoplastic resin and heat resistant glass, with its alien body that hugs the glass and its head which is the plunger. We also stock a more classic, but equally unique, coffee press; the Cactus Coffee Maker is solidly designed out of stainless steel and has a capacity of 72cl. If you purchase this coffee maker, you can create a whole set, as we also have matching Alessi Cactus Mugs which are designed in the same cactus style. All of the above items can also be used for brewing loose-leaf tea.

And now, to accompany your after dinner tea or coffee (prepared, of course, in one of the Alessi coffee and tea makers) you can use the Alessi Ice Cream Gift Set which is a very colorful combination of an ice-cream bowl, ice-cream spoon in heart design and light-blue sugar bowl. You really have to take a look at the photos to see how nice this gift set is, and it really will make a perfect present for somebody who just loves ice-cream.

The last item of our slide show is a very elegant item; the Honey Pot Gift Set which consists of a crystalline glass and polished steel honey pot, and lovely beverage sized ‘Les Gateaux’ napkins. This makes a wonderful birthday or anniversary gift to a honey lover, as the pot is so delicate and beautiful, but also very well made, so it will last a lifetime.

We have many more Alessi gifts available; they are very popular here at MyGiftee. To see all of our items, just type ‘Alessi’ into the MyGiftee search box and enjoy a nice long browse through the wonderful creations of Alessi.
