Bold and Beautiful Wedding Colors for 2009
by Trecia Linzi
Is your favorite wedding color choice a hot trend color for 2009? What wedding colors really are hot for 2009? In 2007, and 2008 soft pastels were the trend, but they were so popular, they may also lead the way for 2009 wedding trend colors.
Most likely, you will see bold, bright colors enter the 2009 wedding scene as well. The fashion experts all agree that bright bold colors, and even exotic combinations are the new trend. Now of course you don't want go overboard for your wedding, but you may want to add at least a splash of bright and bold to your wedding color scheme.
Now, you may be wondering just how to add these bright bold colors to create a beautiful color scheme, and not go overboard with it? Well as long as you keep most of the primary areas traditional such as the bridal gown, you'll be coordinated just fine. You will want to keep the bridesmaid dresses and groomsmen attire color-coorinated as well. but you can certainly add splaches of bright to exotic color with the flower arrangements, table decor, and even the trim on the wedding cake.
Colors that are popular for 2009 are tropical colors such as bright yellows and turquoise. If you used those colors with a tropical wedding theme, what an awesome sight that would be! You could also have wedding favor boxes decorated with blue and yellow ribbon along with color coordinated place settings.
Orange color schemes will also most likely be making their way back into popularity. Think how pretty this color scheme would be: use oranges, coordinated with peach tones and then use an occasional splash of very bright orange. You could also include Tiger Liliies in your bridal bouquets.
While pinks are always in style, 2009 is about new beginnings, and 2009 wedding colors are about making a statement of these new beginnings, so in the case of pinks being the color of choice, you will see strong pink shades as opposed to the paler shades.
As with any of the other bright colors, this will go over quite well as you follow the same technique that was mentioned previously, keeping the bridal attire traditional for the most part, then adding your splash of bright colors with the wedding decor.

5 Unique Gift Ideas For Your Friends
by Raymond Lam
Are you never quite sure what to get for your friends in your life? Better yet, maybe you're the one who got a birthday or special occasion coming up and would really enjoy a little gift yourself. Here are some awesome gift ideas to give or get for yourself or someone special.
Key Chains
Speaking as someone who loves and collects key chains (I have hundreds of key chains from all over the world, including Japan and Australia), I can say these are wonderful gifts which can range in price from just a few dollars to a few hundred dollars. They can be personalized, engraved or etched and they also can include birthstones, charms, or even a favorite quote. They come in all sizes and materials from silver to gold, plastic to vinyl and everything in between. They're also fun to collect, easy to buy and light to carry, especially during travel.
Gift Cards
Who doesn't love a gift certificate or gift card from their favorite auto supply store? They come in almost all denominations and can be used to buy anything in the store from wash and wax kits to engine parts and everything in between. A gift card from a favorite full service car wash is another great idea particularly for someone who likes to keep their car looking clean and sharp. Fuel cards are another good idea because who would not love a $25.00 or $50.00 gift card from a local gas station especially these days?
Model Kits & Jigsaw Puzzles
Believe it or not, there are still people who enjoy spending a leisurely weekend twisting a jigsaw puzzle together or who love to work with model cars and trucks especially if it's one which include their favorite mode of transportation. Jigsaw puzzles come in all sizes and can now be hung on the wall, glued and framed, so don't forget about the puzzle glue!
Personalized Gifts
Almost anything can be personalized nowadays from mouse pads to t-shirts to calendars. You can do have a lot of fun crafting a gift yourself by visiting your local hobby store to get supplies or take a favorite photo to a local print shop where it can be transferred on to a poster, yearly calendar or book bag. You can also visit websites online where you can upload images from your computer and craft just about anything such as coffee mugs and magnets.
Custom hand made figurine is another unique gift idea which everyone love nowadays. Find the right pre-made figurines and provide them some photos. They will use the photos for references and create a truly one of a kind!
If you can't find any pre-made figurines that you prefer, you always can ask for fully custom made figurine. It will completely be made based on the photos of their clothes and or activities that they like to do. It will be awesome and the one who received the gift will surely surprise and treasure it forever as they'll always be reminded of the friendship.
