Celebrate That New Home with a Great Housewarming Gift
Whether you have a friend or family member who bought a home, or a new neighbor who just moved in next door, a carefully chosen housewarming gift will be a welcome gesture. Flowers, home-baked goods, and gift baskets filled with delicious foods are all great ways to say "good luck" or "hello".
A bouquet of colorful mums and carnations or spectacular gladiolas is a wonderful way to add a touch of color and life to a new home. Or give the gift of a living rose or azalea bush, a gift the new homeowners can enjoy for years to come.
A loaf of home-baked bread is a wonderful traditional way to welcome someone new to the neighborhood. Combine the loaf with a selection of gourmet preserves, wrap the loaf in colorful cellophane, then slip it into a new loaf pan, for a tasty and useful gift.
A gift basket filled to the brim with delicious gourmet foods is always welcome. Choose from baskets with a breakfast theme - pancake or waffle mixes, maple syrup, and jams - or opt for a collection of gourmet oils or vinegars, great for someone with a reputation in the kitchen.
A selection of coffees, teas, and hot chocolate is another idea, especially suitable for a fall or winter gift.
A housewarming gift doesn't have to be expensive; the simplest offering can show your friends or family that you celebrate their good fortune. In the case of a new neighbor, it's the perfect way to show that you welcome the opportunity to become their friends. Whatever you choose, a simple gift can be the perfect calling card..

FRANCE LEAVES BAD TASTE IN WINE CLUB MEMBERS MOUTHS
Westlake Village, CA ? February 24, 2002 ? American Cellars Wine Club-the countries premier wine club for hard-to-find "boutique" wines -
has found that France's latest political stance has done more than anger the U.S. Government.
"Our members just do not want anything French" says Marc Musitano, Vice President of Operations for American Cellars.
"We have been receiving returns of French wine at an alarming rate, but we managed to appease most of our members with either domestic or foreign, non-French, replacements."
Asked how he believes this will affect business in the future, Musitano quipped, "Well I can tell you we won't be sourcing any French Wine anytime soon.
However, with the rise of regions such as Australia, Chile, and Argentina, -as well as great domestic product - we have no shortage of great wines to take their place."Founded in 1993, American Cellars Wine Club selects hard-to-find

Why I Love Country Living
As somone who has lived in both places, I can tell you that country living certainly beats the hustle and bustle of city life! Living in a rural area has advantages that simply can't be bought at any price.In the city I was bombarded with the sounds of horns blowing and sirens blaring. In the country I'm soothed by a chorus of whippoorwills, bullfrogs and crickets, along with the pleasant sound of a cool breeze flowing through the trees.On congested city streets I had to deal with frustrated drivers and careless pedestrians. On winding country roads I have to try my best to ignore the postcard-like beauty of the farmland and forests so I can keep my eyes on the road.Yes, country living is the lifestyle that I, like most people who have had the opportunity to experience it, prefer. Instead of pushy salespeople knocking on my door hoping to leave with some of my money, I have warm, friendly neighbors dropping by with baskets of fresh vegetables from their gardens. Not to sell of course...

Successful Holiday Gift Giving Starts with a Plan
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas and the clock is ticking down as we grow closer to the holiday festivities. By now, many have either started thinking about what they are going to purchase for those on their gift list ? others are in full holiday shopping mode. The holiday season proves to be a stressful time for some, adding to their already tension-filled lives. Buying gifts is only half of the dilemma ? deciding what to buy makes up the other half.Gift buying can actually be fun and stress-free. I recommend a fool-proof method of ensuring you get the right thing for each recipient the first time around.
The key to successful holiday gift giving starts with a plan. Begin by making a list of names you will be purchasing holiday gifts for. Leave two or three blank spaces between each name where you will jot down information about each recipient. Once your list of names is complete, your holiday gift giving plan will start to take shape one recipient at a time. Starting...
