Guys Guide to Giving Flowers
May 1, 2010 | 6 Comments
What’s the best way for a man to make a lasting impression on a woman? Recent consumer research shows that the answer to making a memorable impact is right under his nose– through flowers. In fact, the study shows that 92% of women can remember the last time they received flowers, and 89% say receiving flowers makes them feel special.
Giving great floral gifts, however, still remains a mystery to most men. To help them out, author and TV host Rebecca Cole provides guidance on giving females flowers.
“Flowers are a sensual gift that can express any emotion so simply – with just a little knowledge and a phone call to the florist.”
Cole offers advice to guys on:
How to send just the right message to the woman in his life – a new girlfriend, that special someone, Mom or a good friend.
- The New Thing. This emotion may be the most difficult for a man to express, so Cole provides style advice for the guy who wants to show his new romantic interest exactly how he feels. “A passionate arrangement is filled with hot pinks, oranges, reds and golds. Add a thoughtful card to help communicate just the right sentiment,” says Cole.
- The Real Deal. Flowers are intimately – and internationally – linked with the art of romance, and for good reason says Cole. “As relationships grow, flowers become symbols of different events and milestones in our lives together. Take note of her favorite flowers – the varieties at your wedding, flowers you sent her when you first started dating or the ones she buys for herself. Those will have great meaning and impact.”
- Leading Ladies. “No woman – especially moms, grandmas and sisters – should live without a little TLC,” says Cole. A fabulous flowering plant or a garden-style arrangement with greens and soft pastel hues – no matter what the flower – will send the message that you care.
- The Gal Pal. “Flowers that show you’re thinking of someone, but not in a sensual way, have anatural, just-picked feeling,” says Cole. She advises to ask for a selection of garden-style flowers or a bright bold color palette that is fun and whimsical. A basket with a mix of flowering and green plants delivered to her door or office is also a sure fire winner.
What are the three top design styles that men can ask for with confidence:
Research shows that 96% of women like to receive flowers when they’re not expecting them. “Guys should know that they don’t have to wait for a special occasion to give flowers,” Cole says. “Make an occasion by sending flowers to the woman in your life, just because. They’ll never forget it.”
Cole offers advice for men willing to try something trendy. She suggests these three top design styles that men can ask for with confidence:
- Monobotanic. Arrangements featuring only one type of flower (such as all roses, tulips, lilies or iris) are in style and may even include different colors of the same flower in the vase or container.
- Monochromatic. Pick a color, any color and stick with it! If her favorite color is pink, for example, ask your florist for a fresh bouquet of different flowers in the same color range.
- Bunches of Texture. Ask your florist to select complementary flowers of various textures to place in bunches in an elegant glass container. This unique look has a bold, contemporary feel and will surely provide the “wow” factor.
- Need to find a florist? Check Online Florist in your area or just search on internet.
- Don’t know what to say on the card? Check for Creative quotes messages for every occasion.
A Guy’s Checklist of Things to Remember
- Be Spontaneous. You don’t have to wait for a special occasion to give flowers. In fact, most women say “no reason” is the best reason to get flowers.
- Size Doesn’t Matter. Trust your florist to help you send an arrangement that is appropriate for the occasion. Bouquets both big and small can make a bold statement. It’s the sentiment that makes the impact.
- Score Big Points. Surprise her by sending a bouquet to her office, and see how much attention you’ll get because of the attention she got.
- Relax. Flowers don’t have to mean commitment. Women know when an arrangement simply means that you care.
“The most important thing to remember is that you simply cannot go wrong with flowers,” said Cole. “Your florist is there to help, but you’ll get all the credit.”

Affordable Engagement And Wedding Rings
April 30, 2010 | 8 Comments
When a couple gets engaged, the man offers the woman an engagement ring as a way to express his love and commitment. The engagement ring becomes a symbol for all to see that the woman is in a committed relationship. Sometimes the man will surprise the woman with the engagement ring when he proposes. Other times bride and groom will go together to choose the engagement ring. Next the wedding ring is added to the engagement ring on the wedding day. Since most couples end up purchasing for the engagement and wedding ring after they get married, it is most important to know how to correctly match them.
To match the engagement and wedding ring set it is necessary to use the same precious metals. For example, you would not want one ring to be gold and the other silver since it could make them look silly together. Another thing is that the gemstones on both rings need to be identical. Some couples like diamonds on the engagement ring and then pick their birthstone to have on the wedding ring. Unfortunately, when worn together the engagement and wedding ring ends up looking inelegant this way. So, only pick the same gemstone for both rings.
The safest way to make sure that the engagement and wedding ring looks elegant together is to choose them out concurrently or purchase them as a set. Even if the man is looking for the ring on his own, he will like to have an idea of how the rings will look together on the finger of his future wife. Be sure that the engagement and wedding ring set does not end up looking too large. In that case it ends up looking like the woman is wearing someone else’s rings. A great way purchasing the two rings as a set is because it means there is less chance of the two rings looking silly together.
It is a huge decision picking out an engagement and wedding ring set. Often these sets go for an excessively amount of money. So it is significant that you give yourself a lot of time to search abroad for the adequate ring at an affordable price. If you hope to find an engagement and wedding ring set at a good price right away, you will find yourself getting very frustrated. So go into the search with the comprehension that it will take a lot of time and considering. Sometimes you will find a gorgeous set at a very high price. By searching further it is possible to find a set very similar that works with your budget.
Whenever you buy the engagement and wedding ring set, be sure that you receive a certificate of authenticity with the price written on it. You may even like to have a warranty or insurance on the set in case it gets stolen ore some of the stones fall out.

A Stitch in Time
April 29, 2010 | 6 Comments
As any junior high school student can tell you, your fashion is very important when it comes to what others think of you. Now maybe that isn’t the way it should be, but the idea that, “the clothes make the man,” (or woman, in our case) is simply, quite often, the truth. So what are we to do? Clothing, and how we wear it, is a chance to capture every moment and turn it into a celebration of life and fashion. It is our opportunity to invite attention and make a mark on people’s memories. And it is our chance to leave a lasting impression on everyone from the President of our firm to the lady who lives down the block.
While we all know those people who live in black from Monday to Sunday, we definitely remember the woman in the sequined blue shoes, or the guy who pick us up for a first date in a pink dress shirt! Surely the best example of clothing being a very important part of the equation is the billion-dollar wedding industry. Probably nothing is more important than the bridal gown. (Well, except for the happy couple, of course!) Not to mention the bridesmaids’ gowns and the flower girl’s dress. Even the tuxes become a crash course in men’s fashion.
And surely there are other life events we celebrate with clothing: our prom, first dates, job interviews, and New Year’s Eve parties. How often have you looked back at old pictures, and the first thing we notice is the styles of the day – Uncle Sal’s mint green leisure suit from the ‘70’s or your own cowboy boots and gauchos from 1985. Clothing marks more than generations and styles, it marks our lives and special times.
So why don’t we mark everyday occasions with the same planning and joy? And how do we create that atmosphere of “special” times? How do we sew those moments into the fabric of our lives? Why not mark every occasion – even a Saturday matinee with a new pair of shoes or even a second-hand scarf. Why not mark our everyday life with as many precious moments and mint green leisure suites whenever possible?
Take a daring plus size fashion risk and tie up your holiday memories of ‘08 with bright silk ribbons and blue checkered socks. Make this a day to look back on and remember!

How to Select Rc Toys
April 28, 2010 | 5 Comments
If you’re new to the world of RC toys, you may feel a bit overwhelmed. There are thousands of different selections you can make, and it is truly annoying to purchase an RC toy and to have it not be what you are looking for. Here is a guide to help you choose the type of RC toys that will make you, or anyone that you are buying for, extremely happy with your choices!
Choosing RC Airplanes/Helicopters
The first question most people as is, “Do RC airplanes and helicopters really fly?” If they’re good RC airplanes or RC helicopters, they absolutely do! There are remote control planes and helicopters available to purchase at all different prices, so figure out who you’re buying for. If you’re buying for a young child, make sure you purchase a helicopter or airplane that has an easy-to-use controller. You may want to stick to the helicopters for young children, as they are generally easier to control than airplanes are. If you’re buying for someone who knows what they’re doing, you may have to spend a bit more, or find something that is different than they have. Look for really small specimens, really large ones, or, if they have a large collection, ones that remind you of the collection they currently have.
RC Tanks
All little boys love to play with tanks, and big boys do as well! RC tanks are a huge hit with just about anyone. RC tanks can range in price, so try shopping around your budget. Some tanks have turrets that move and are actually able to fire small shells. Others, usually on the more expensive end, actually smoke very realistically. RC tanks are usually a slam dunk for any RC toy lover!
RC Cars
And now for the meat and potatoes of the RC toy world! RC cars are great toys for anyone, man, woman, or child, that loves to play around with toys. RC cars range from racing style cars, to realistic style cars, to completely fantastical cars! When it comes to choosing an RC car, think about who you’re buying the car for. If you are buying for someone young, you may not want to spend a fortune, as they will probably be fairly hard on the car. Also, you might want to look for cars that run as well outside as they do inside. For the older crowd, look for RC cars that suit their style. If they love racing and Nascar, grab a racing car. If they like high-end vehicles, look for a realistic style RC car.
With a little time, and a little thought, you can choose RC toys for everyone in your family, from the youngest to the oldest, and you may even choose to pick out a new toy for yourself! Visit HobbyMega.com for the best it RC toy selection.
