A VERY SPECIAL CHRISTMAS // Shopping Ideas

Christmas shopping for a gift for your special one can be a challenge . 

 There are all those TECHNO gadgets, iPads , smartphones, etc.
and those are nice -  but for me  its the special keepsakes that mean the most.

 Christmas  reminds me more of snow falling, warm fires and hot chocolate.
And this brings me to some of my favorites - those SPECIAL keepsakes.

A lovely snow globe with a winter scene. A cherished gift.



A original  SnowGlobe  is my favorite from the Original Wiener Schneekugels  


Handcrafted in Austria.

Flying high // travel

B  Time to Fly   Sumer holidays are around the corner and deciding where to go or what to pack can e daunting experience.  So what to pack ? Well after reading how some airlines charge passenger to check the baggage. First I believe the budget airlines started , but now the big name ones have also started to charge it!
