Go On, Just Give Him A Buffalo For Christmas

Charity gift giving is nothing new, it's been around for years. Several times my family has bought Christmas presents of geese or chickens or cows for poor families in Africa over the last couple of years.

Charity GiftBut just because charity gift giving isn't new doesn't mean it isn't a great idea. It is.

We are some of the luckiest people on the planet. We have a lifestyle that is the envy of almost everyone else. Even those of us that aren't quite as affluent as the rest are far better off than almost everyone else who lives on this earth. We are comfortable and life is easy compared to some, and sometimes we forget this.

So gift giving that helps the less fortunate amongst us is a wonderful idea.

Oxfam has just released it's new "Oxfam Unwrapped" program. It's designed for people like us to help those that aren't as fortunate. We purchase gifts that benefit the poorer people of the world. We then give that "gift" to someone we love.

So for example I could buy a buffalo for a poor family in Africa, or a donkey. And then give a certificate or document reflecting that to someone I love, so they also are a part of that gift.

Take a gift of a donkey for just over $100. Here's what Oxfam says about it.

"Oxfam is helping to distribute donkeys to those affected by the conflict in Sudan. Abdell Rasol Ibrahim says of his donkey Mashi (which means ‘Goes Fast’): “She makes a big difference to my life. I’m a single parent, and I have five children to look after. I was very happy when I received the donkey, because I can go and collect enough firewood and grass to sell in the market. She’s a very good donkey. I’m very proud to have her.”

To give a gift like that is to really make a difference in someone's life. It may be one of the most important gifts you ever make.

So I urge you to seriously consider the Oxfam Unwrapped gifts for your man this Christmas. It may mean an awful lot more than you realise to someone else on this planet. It's a wonderful
And don't forget to read my other suggestions for Christmas presents for men either.

Could You Do With Some Romance In A Box?

Romance starts at home. At least it can, there's no need to go to all sorts of exotic places to get romantic. You can be romantic anywhere you want to be with a good romantic gift idea. Because romance is in the head, not the location.

Romantic Gift IdeaAnd of course you can be romantic anywhere, with a great romantic gift.

I have come across a lovely romantic gift that you can give him right in the comfort of your own home. Or anywhere else if the urge takes you.

It's called Romance in a box from Romantic Room Designs. It is in effect a romantic gift basket for a man or a woman, and I love it.

The intention is to provide him, or you, with all you need to transform your, or his, bedroom into a romantic boudouir.

The photo I've included gives you an idea what you can do with your, or his, bedroom. It includes everything you need to totally transform his bedroom, or any other room you want. 200 silk rose petals. Six, frosted white heart shaped votive candles. Red Heart confetti to sprinkle around the base of the candles or on top of the bed and a "Do Not Disturb" sign to hang on the door.

Now I'm not suggesting you give him a romantic gift box at all. That would be uninteresting. What I'm suggesting is that you buy the gift basket, get it delivered so he doesn't know about it. Open it up and use it at the perfect romantic time.

And he finds the result.

Lets think of an example.

Use it as a romantic holiday gift idea. You've gone on holiday together and he's out somewhere. You've decorated the bedroom with the contents of your romantic gift basket. He comes home and finds a trail of rose petals from the door to the bedroom and you in the bedroom.

Or use it right at home for the perfect romantic evening after a long walk at the beach, or the lake, or wherever you both might like to spend a little quality time together.

How about another suggestion. A romantic evening gift set. Along with the rose petals comes hand crafted, gourmet Champagne Truffles. 2 fragranced and uniquely designed His & Her Candles. A choice of either a Kama Sutra Romantic Massage Set or the Luxurious Body Affair Sweet Pea Bath & Body Gift Set (you'll have to check out the website to see what's in that!)

They have quite a few romantic gift ideas there to delight any romance buff. Boxes and baskets and romantic gifts for him or her. They have a quite unique approach to romance and . So if you think he'd love a romantic evening as a gift head on over to Romantic Room Designs and check out their gift ideas for men, and women.

I Write About Mens Gifts On Squidoo And Hubpages

I love all sorts of niche sites to post my content. Squidoo has got a lot of attention lately and so I’ve been to Squidoo and started a Squidoo lens. It’s about making a gift basket.

Gift baskets are great gifts for men, you just need to make sure it’s a pretty “manish” gift basket, there’s great golf and fishing gift baskets around for example.

And I’ve also got a bunch of “hubs” at hubpages which are about different aspects of mens gifts and Christmas and so on. These are as follows:

Find great christmas cards for men

Hot Christmas gifts for men, gps systems

Romantic gift ideas for men

Sexy Lingerie as a gift for him

A great Christmas gift for a man

Find that gift for him

Anniversary gifts for men

The great Christmas tree debate

More about Christmas cards for men

Feel free to check them out, I hope you enjoy them

I Forgot His Birthday. I Was SO Embarrassed.

Isn't it just one of the worst feelings. You forgot his birthday. His birthday was yesterday and you remembered it - today.

Or even worse, he had to give you a gentle reminder at dinner that TODAY was his birthday. And of course it's way too late to get him a great birthday present, in fact it's way too late to do anything. You can't even make him a birthday cake, the opportunity is gone, he knows you forgot, and you're just so embarrassed.

And you'd planned such a great birthday for him. You knew it was coming up, you had birthday plans all worked out, and you just can't work out how you forgot. You were going to buy such a great birthday present and you had a birthday card all picked out. You'd spent hours looking for mens birthday gifts on the net, and you blew it.

It's got to be the worst day of your life, and you just can't work out how it happened.

Has this ever happened to you? Maybe it has and maybe it hasn't, but it certainly can. We're all human, we can forget even the most important things. If it hasn't happened to you it doesn't mean it can't.

Of course we can all use a diary, but who remembers to look in their diary every day. Sometimes we just forget. And that can be the one day that the reminder about his birthday was there. And all of us have the occasional brain fade, I know I do. There are calendars. I've even been known to write a reminder on a piece of paper and stick it to my computer.

So how do you make sure this never happens to you?

Use a birthday reminder service. Well it's a service to remind you of any occasion coming up, but it's certainly useful to use to remind you of his birthday coming.

How does it work? You join a and then you get to enter all your important dates, including his birthday. Enter any dates that are important to you. Holidays, anniversaries, birthdays, appointments and anything else. Not just his birthday, but the birthdays of everyone who is important to you.

And once you've entered your important dates you get a reminder for each one automatically sent to you by email, and if you wish to your cell phone. It's pretty easy to use, and it may well save you an extremely embarrassing day.

There are free birthday reminder services, and there are paid ones, like everything the paid ones are a little better than the free ones, but the paid ones aren't expensive. I prefer Big Dates, it's free for the first 3 months, then $5.95 a year. Pretty cheap insurance against the most embarrassing day of your life.

And for $15 you get the ability to send 5 prepaid greeting cards. That's real PAPER greeting cards, at $3 each it's cheaper than doing it yourself.

And you can even get them to make some gift suggestions for his birthday too.

So if you're worried about the most embarrassing day of your life, or even if you can just see some value in being able to get reminders sent to you for ANY important dates, then you ought to consider a birthday reminder service like Big Dates.

And read some more on my main website abour Birthday Gifts including 4 great birthday presents for the man who has it all.
