Let me help you find the perfect birthday quotes to use in birthday cards. Whether the card is for your husband, wife, mom, dad, son, daughter, brother, sister or co-worker, a well-chosen birthday quote will turn an ordinary card into an extraordinary greeting!

One of my favorite birthday quotes is: "I hope your birthday is as wonderful as you are!"

Birthday Cake!

We celebrate our birthdays because they are the anniversary of our birth. And, like all anniversary celebrations, they should involve our family and friends. Birthdays are usually celebrated by having a party where a specially made cake, usually decorated with lettering and the person's age, is presented. The cake traditionally has the same number of lit candles as the age of the individual. The celebrated individual then makes a silent wish and attempts to blow out the candles in one breath; if successful, it means the wish will be granted, but the wish must be kept secret or it won't come true.

Sweet 16th Birthday Cake

The tradition of giving greeting cards is thought to be over a hundred years old. Though there is no record of who sent or received the first birthday card, it is believed that the tradition of sending birthday cards began in England a century ago. In those time people used to personally greet a person on their birthday, but when a well-wisher was unable to do so, he would send a birthday card in apology.

Birthday cards are an important means of communicating good wishes and love to a person. They carry a personal touch that makes them endearing and very special.

Emotionally charged cards with customized birthday quotes help to convey feelings of love that most people find difficult to express. Here are some of my favorite birthday quotes for your enjoyment and use:

On my 60th birthday my wife gave me a superb birthday present. She let me win an argument - Anonymous
Women deserve to have more than twelve years between the ages of twenty eight and forty - James Thurber
You know you are getting old when the candles cost more than the cake - Bob Hope
Marriage is the alliance of two people, one of whom never remembers birthdays and the other never forgets them - Ogden Nash
As long as there are birthday gifts, I don’t mind celebrating my birthdays everyday! - Anonymous
Last week the candle factory burned down. Everyone just stood around and sang Happy Birthday - Stephen Wright
Count your life by smiles, not tears. Count your age by friends, not years – Anonymous
I never forget my wife's birthday. It's usually the day after she reminds me about it - Anonymous
Like many women my age, I am 28 years old – Mary Schmich
Birthdays are good for you. Statistics show that the people who have the most live the longest - Father Larry Lorenzoni
A well adjusted woman is one who not only knows what she wants for her birthday, but even knows what she's going to exchange it for - Anonymous
Looking fifty is great--if you're sixty- Joan Rivers
Birthdays are nature's way of telling us to eat more cake - Anonymous
When I have a birthday I take the day off. But when my wife has a birthday, she takes a year or two off - Anonymous
The best way to remember your wife's birthday is to forget it once - H. V. Prochnow

What Date is Fathers Day 2013?

2012-02-24T23:01:00.006-05:00

Here are some ideas to help you celebrate Fathers Day 2013 which is on Sunday, June 16th in the U.S., Canada and the U.K.

Fathers Day is a special date set aside to celebrate the impact that our fathers have made on our lives and everything they do to support us.

“Dad, I know I can always count on you to stand behind me no matter what,

and to guide me with your wisdom and love.

That’s why Father’s Day is the perfect time to let you know

how grateful I am for everything you do.

I love you Dad.

Happy Father’s Day”

Fathers Day is traditionally celebrated by sending cards and giving gifts to show our appreciation. But, as a father of three, I think I speak for many fathers when I say that the greatest gift a dad can receive is to spend time with our children.

This article, What Date is Fathers Day 2013?, looks at some of the things you can do this Fathers Day to spend time with your Dad, and suggests some gifts that might hit the spot. For more ideas, Fathers Day Quotes, movie suggestions for Dad and more, take a look at When is Fathers Day 2013?

Here are some activities that you can enjoy with Dad on Father Day:

Fathers Day is a Special Day for Families!

A family outing to his favourite place:

When Is Fathers Day 2013?: Happy Fathers Day!

Animal park, zoo, bird reserve

Motor sports: Car rally, stock-cars, Indy race, motorcross, motorbike race.

Aviation-related: Airshow, aviation museum, war museum

Boat, Fishing or Hunting Shows

Sporting event: Football, golf, hockey

Restaurants: Any of Dad's favourite restaurants: Boston Pizza, The Keg, Hooters or just about anywhere that sells steaks, wings and beer!

Life Experiences With Dad

If you’re looking to combine a gift with spending time together, then you might want to consider one of these life experiences:

Hot Air Balloon Ride: A thrill of a lifetime and a great opportunity to spend time together while floating high above local landmarks.

Shooting Range: Most men like to fire guns so treat Dad to an afternoon at the shooting range, shooting skeet or clay pigeons.

Introductory Flying Lesson: The perfect gift for a Dad who has never flown but has always wanted to experience the thrill of flying a plane!

Play Golf: There's no better way to bond than spending four or five hours together on the golf course. Or, if Dad's game is a little rusty, how about a private golf lesson from a pro!

Fathers Day Gifts

Although Father's Day isn't really about the gift, it is part of the Father's Day celebration. So, here are some gift suggestions for Dad on Fathers Day:

When Is Fathers Day 2013?: Fishing on Fathers Day

Tie / Slippers / Sweater: Dad's just can't have too many ties, belts or other accessories.

Liqueur Chocolates: Dads love chocolates, cookies or anything sweet!

Fishing Gear: Fathers love to fish although my Dad didn't like it much when I hooked him in the ear!

Wine or Spirits: Most Fathers have a favorite drink - maybe rum, scotch, whiskey.

CD of his favourite Music: No one knows your Dad’s tastes in music better than you. You probably grew up listening to his favorites!

A Book about his favourite Pastime: Gardening, bird watching, history, hunting, fishing, whatever his passion.

If none of these fit the bill, then take a look at Fathers Day Gifts, a broader range of gift ideas suitable for any Father.

Our Wedding Anniversary Memory Book allows you to record those special moments in your life - with photos and hand-written memories. Moments that you can share with your partner, or your children, for years to come.

A good way to create a personal anniversary message for your husband is to modify an existing, well-known rhyme. One of my favourite rhymes for this purpose is:

"Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet, and so are you!"

Tip: Try to modify the rhyme to suit your personal situation. It's pretty easy because lots of words rhyme with blue (thank goodness violets are not orange)!

Example: When I was newly married a local turkey farmer was advertising his poultry on TV using the phrase "My turkeys are beautiful!". So, for our first anniversary, I added the following rhyme into our first anniversary card:

"Roses are red, violets are blue, turkeys are beautiful and so are you!"

Believe it or not, it was a big hit and got a lot of laughs!
Here are some other versions to start your own creative juices:

Roses are red, violets are blue, love me so much, like I love you!
Roses are red, violets are blue, chicken wings are hot and so are you!
Roses are red, violets are blue, I don't want to spend a day without you!

O.K. - so now you're ready to create and send your very own personalized anniversary wishes to your husband! Good luck everyone!

Also, Katie is proud of her impact on the environment: "Sending Katie's Ecards is an environmentally friendly way of keeping in touch with friends and family. NO resources needed to manufacture printed cards, NO fuel needed to buy or send printed cards by road or air. Reduce your carbon footprint, send one of Katie's Ecards."
Jacquie Lawson: Self-billed as the classiest eCards on the web, Jacquie currently has over 200 eCards which are truly beautiful to behold.

Hobbies for Women At Home

2012-02-20T17:06:00.004-05:00

Are you looking for a hobby that you can do at home?
Harness your creativity and start writing. Share your passions, make new friends and earn some money too!

This article will explain why blogging (writing short articles) is one of the most fulfilling hobbies for women at home, and will recommend HubPages as one of the best online resources to achieve your creative dreams.

Start Writing Today!
I started blogging recently and I find it really enjoyable, therapeutic and even addictive. I wasn't sure if I had the expertise to blog but I soon found that it was much easier than I thought. You can write short articles about specific topics that interest you, whenever and how often you want. Here are some suggestions for topics that you might want to share with the world:

Favourite Recipes
Poems, quotes and sayings
Fashion Tips
Your Vacations
Parenting Tips
Book and Movie Reviews
Favourite activities
Life Experiences

The Benefits of Writing:

Here are some of the reasons that I think blogging is one of the most appealing hobbies for women at home:

Community: There is an excellent sense of community at HubPages and probably more than 75% are women. Your fellow Hubbers (as they are called) are very supportive and willing to share their experiences in a positive way.
Therapy: Writing is therapeutic - it allows you to put your thoughts into words, share your experiences and seek input on your thoughts and ideas.
At Home: Blogging is something you can do from the comfort of your own home, whenever you have some free time. And, because it is web-based, you can do it from any other location with a link to the internet - the library, coffee shop or anywhere else you like!
It's Free: It won't cost you anything to start provided you already have a computer and access to the internet, of course!
Generate Income: You can even make some extra money from publishing articles online!

Why You Should Consider HubPages

I have investigated a number of different blogging sites and the one that I recommend to someone new to blogging is Hubpages. Here are the reasons why I prefer HubPages:

Simple to sign-up: Simply go to the Hubpages Sign-up Page to get started.
Easy to Use: The web-based tool used to create Hubs (their name for your articles) is very easy to use and intuitive. You can easily add capsules for text, photos and videos.
Online Help: There is a very good help facility with guidance for virtually every type of question you might have.
Income Opportunity: The HubPages ad program pays you a small amount of money for every person who reads your article. The more people who visit, the more money you'll make!

Check Out Some Examples

Before you sign-up, you should check out what the Hubs look like. Here are some samples that I have produced recently:

Canadian Birds in my Garden

When Is Fathers Day 2012?

I hope you agree that they look pretty good. I'm no expert so if I can do it, you can too!

Still not sure? Here is a link to a Hub about the Women Writers On HubPages 2012. Take a look and I think you'll find that you have a lot in common with these writers.

Retirement Hobbies

2012-02-20T11:23:00.006-05:00

Are you looking for a new hobby?
Harness your creativity and start writing. Leave a legacy for your loved ones, make new friends and earn some money too!

This article will explain why you should consider blogging (writing short articles) as one of your new retirement hobbies, and will recommend HubPages as one of the best online resources to achieve your creative dreams.

This article will be of interest to anyone who is nearing retirement, or just retired, and who is looking for:

Retirement Hobbies for Men
Retirement Hobbies for Women
Hobbies for Retirees
Senior Hobbies
Hobbies for Retirement
Hobbies for Women at Home
Hobbies for Men at Home

Start Writing Today!
I started blogging fairly recently because I'm getting near to retirement, my kids have grown up and I'm worried about living on a fixed income. I find it really enjoyable, therapeutic and quite addictive.
I've always had a creative streak and have often thought about writing a book. The trouble is, I don't have the skills, expertise or patience to write a novel. With blogging, you can write short articles about specific topics that interest you, whenever and how often you want.

You can write about your:

Passions
Travels
Books and movies
Favourite activities: Hiking, bird-watching, gardening, playing cards
Life Experiences

The Benefits of Writing:

Here are some of the reasons that I think blogging is one of the best retirement hobbies for men and for women:

Immortality: Once you've published your first blog, you have achieved immortality! Your articles will be online for all the world to see, even after you've gone! What better legacy to leave your loved ones than advice, stories and experiences from your life!
Therapy: Writing is therapeutic - it allows you to put your thoughts into words, share your experiences and seek input on your thoughts and ideas.
At Home: Blogging is something you can do from the comfort of your own home, whenever you have some free time. And, because it is web-based, you can do it from any other location with a link to the internet - the library, coffee shop or anywhere else you like!
It's Free: That's correct, it won't cost you a dime provided you already have a computer and access to the internet, of course!
Community: There is an excellent sense of community in many of the larger blogging sites. Your fellow bloggers will read your work support your efforts and share your interests.
Generate Income: You can even make some pin money from publishing articles online!

Another reason that blogging is one of the best hobbies for retirement is because you don't need to be physically active to contribute.

Why You Should Consider HubPages

I have investigated a number of different blogging sites and the one that I recommend to someone new to blogging is Hubpages.

Here are the reasons why I prefer HubPages:

Simple to sign-up: Simply go to the Hubpages Sign-up Page to get started.
Easy to Use: The web-based tool to create Hubs (their name for your articles) is very easy to use and intuitive. You can easily add capsules for text, photos, videos and maps.
Online Help: There is a very good help facility with guidance for virtually every type of question you might have.
Sense of Community: There is a real sense of community as fellow Hubbers welcome you, are extremely supportive and leave positive comments on your work.
Income Opportunity: The HubPages ad program pays you a small amount of money for every person who reads your article. The more people who visit, the more money you'll make!

Blogging is one of the best hobbies for women at home because you can fit it in to your hectic schedule whenever you have some free time. Also, you'll find that HubPages has a very active community of women who blog regularly.

Before you sign-up, you should check out what the Hubs look like. Here are some samples that I have produced recently:

I Need A Hobby At Home

2012-02-19T18:20:00.012-05:00

Express yourself!
Harness your creativity and start writing. Leave a legacy for your loved ones, make new friends and earn some money too!

This article will explain why you should consider blogging as your new hobby, and will recommend HubPages as one of the best online resources to achieve your goals.

I often hear my friends say "I need a hobby at home". When I ask why, it's usually for one of these reasons:

They are getting close to retirement and want to have something to do when they retire,
Their children have left home / gone to university, and they're bored, or
They want to make some extra money to supplement their income or pension.

For me, it's a combination of all three. I'm getting closer to retirement, most of my kids have left home (or are at least old enough to take care of themselves) and I'm concerned about the prospect of living on a fixed income.

Start Writing Today!

The hobby that I decided to take up is blogging, or for those of you new to the terminology, writing articles.

I've always had a creative streak and have often thought about writing a book. The trouble is, I don't have the skills, expertise or patience to write a novel. With blogging, you write bite-size articles about specific topics, whatever interests you, whenever and how often you want.

Here are some ideas for topics that you might like to write about:

Sports that you like to play or watch
Vacations that you have taken
Reviews of books or movies
Favourite pastimes: Gardening, bird-watching, playing chess

The Benefits of Writing:

Here are some of the benefits of writing as a hobby:

Immortality: Once you've published your first blog, you have achieved immortality! Assuming the internet sticks around, your creation is online for all the world to see, even after you've gone! What better legacy to leave your loved ones than advice, stories and experiences from your life!
Therapy: Writing is therapeutic - it allows you to put your thoughts into words, share your experiences and seek input on your thoughts and ideas.
Community: There is an excellent sense of community in many of the larger blogging sites. Your fellow bloggers will read your work support your efforts and share your interests.
Generate Income: Blogging can generate income if you do it right. Basically, there are advertising programs that place ads into your blogs which generate income if they are clicked. Although I do know people who make over $1,000 per month blogging, I have to caution that this is not the norm and you'll likely just make a few dollars every now and then. My advice would be to do it for the love of writing and recognize that any income you generate is a nice bonus.

Why You Should Consider HubPages

I have investigated a number of different blogging sites and the one that I recommend to someone new to blogging is HubPages.

Here are the reasons why I prefer HubPages:

Simple to sign-up: Simply go to the HubPages Sign-up Page to get started.
Easy to Use: The software to create Hubs (their name for your articles) is very easy to use and intuitive. You can easily add capsules for text, photos, videos, maps, tables, polls, quizzes and even links to Amazon and eBay.
Online Help: There is a very good help facility with guidance for virtually every type of question you might have.
Income Generation: HubPages provides their own earning program which pays you a small amount for every visitor you get. In this way, the more people who read your work, the more money you make.
Sense of Community: There is a real sense of community as fellow Hubbers welcome you, are extremely supportive and leave positive comments on your work. So far, I have never seen one negative comment on a Hub.
Contests: They run contests periodically where you ahve a chance to win more cash by asking and / or answering questions from fellow Hubbers.
Referrals: You also get paid for any referrals that you make either for new members or to other people's hubs.

Lake Of The Woods Map

2012-02-16T22:26:00.004-05:00

Lake of the Woods is a world-class fishing location for Muskie, Northern Pike, Walleye and Bass.

If you are interested in a fishing vacation, check out my Lake of the Woods Fishing Report. We spent 5 days at the all-inclusive Totem Resorts in Sioux Narrows on the east side of Lake of the Woods. We had a fantastic time and I highly recommend that you take a look.

This is the 28" Walleye that I caught on the last day of my visit to Lake of the Woods.

The Fabulous Shore Lunch!

Here is a Lake of the Woods Map from Natural Resources Canada:

I hope that this post has given you some inspiration to fish Lake of the Woods.

Happy Fishing!

Romantic Getaways

2011-12-10T16:43:00.027-05:00

When you hit the milestone wedding anniversaries, nothing is more romantic than a 'second honeymoon' to an exotic destination.

This article looks at the top 10 most popular anniversary destinations, and my own personal favourite romantic getaways. When you get back from your 'trip of a lifetime', don't forget to check out my other articles on traditional anniversary gifts, Anniversary gifts for Her, Anniversary gifts for Him, 10 Secrets of a happy marriage and anniversary quotes.

Here are the top 10 most popular anniversary destinations according to a recent survey of travel agents:

Sunset in Maui

Hawaii
Cruise
Caribbean
Jamaica
Cancun
Europe
Italy
Mexico
Tahiti
St. Lucia

These are all fabulous destinations and my personal favourite romantic getaways are :

Waimea Canyon, Kauai

Hawaii: 5 years ago, my wife and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary with a 12 day, 4 island tour of the Hawaiian Islands. , We loved them all:Oahu (Waikiki, Pearl Harbour), Hawaii (volcanoes), Maui (beaches and Luau) and Kauai (the grand canyon of the Pacific).

Traditional Balinese Dancer

Bali: This year, to celebrate our 30th anniversary, we visited Malaysia, Singapore and Bali. The island of Bali is in Indonesia and it has many interesting attractions including spectacular beaches, surfing, Hindu temples, monkeys, volcanoes, motorbikes and more! Take a look at Romantic Getaway to Bali to see more photographs and stories from this incredible anniversary destination.

San Francisco: This is my favourite city: the Golden Gate, cable cars, Alcatraz, Fisherman's Wharf, Napa valley. And, to the south, Monterey, Pebble Beach, Carmel and Big Sur.

Paris: The City of Love - unbelievably romantic. Enjoy the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre (mona Lisa), Versailles and so much more.

Horse-drawn Carriage in Central Park

New York: There's so much to see and do - Empire State Building, Broadway, Times Square, Statue of Liberty. We also spent a fantastic day exploring in Central Park. If you haven't been before then check out Central Park: Size Does Matter! to explore everything this 843 acre park has to offer. And, if you have been before, then take my quiz to see How Well You Know Central Park.

Anniversary Gifts for Her

2011-12-10T13:50:00.056-05:00

This article provides ideas and suggestions to help you find an anniversary gift for that special lady in your life.

Once you’ve found that perfect gift, check out my other anniversary tips that show you how to celebrate your anniversary. Check out the top 10 anniversary destinations for a romantic getaway, tips to write personal Anniversary quotes and 10 Secrets of a happy marriage to make sure that you have many more anniversaries to share together!

Personalized Anniversary Gifts
Nothing is more romantic and thoughtful than personalized anniversary gifts. Find that perfect gift, get it engraved with a personal message, and watch her smile!

Lingerie:

The most intimate gift of all, and one that you can both enjoy! The gift of lingerie sends a strong signal that you still find your partner physically attractive. And, if you are looking for a traditional anniversary gift, lingerie is perfect for the 2 year anniversary (cotton), 12 year anniversary (silk) and the 13 year anniversary (lace). Imagine your girl in one of these outfits!

Jewelry:
A favourite gift to give and receive, jewelry comes in many different designs, styles and colours allowing you the perfect opportunity to customize your gift for your loved one. Choose from rings, necklaces, earrings, brooches, bracelets, watches and much more. Look for designs that complement her interests (favourite animal), her colours (clothes, eyes). Choose a gem that matches your anniversary year, or birth month or even zodiac sign! And, for the most special anniversaries, the gift of an eternity or anniversary ring symbolizes your never-ending love.

Flowers:
“Say it with flowers” is more than just a saying – flowers really do send a strong romantic message – and they smell nice too! Choose from a wide range of cut flowers in a bouquet or an elegant vase, or a potted plant for extended life. You might not be surprised to learn that there is even a flower associated with each anniversary year.

Chocolates:
Truly a girl’s best friend – and the calories don’t count on your wedding anniversary! Variations to suit all budgets from traditional favourites like After Eights and Ferrero Rocher to hand-dipped Belgian chocolates. And, if you’re planning an anniversary celebration, don’t forget to rent a chocolate fountain, every one loves chocolate–covered strawberries!

Romantic getaway

Romantic Getaway:
Gives you a chance to have some alone time and rediscover those special moments together. Whether it is for a long weekend or an extended duration, romantic getaways give you the opportunity to explore new surroundings, enjoy new experiences and rekindle your relationship. Check out my article on romantic getaways and see why these destinations are truly special.

Women's Leather Clothing:

A stylish gift that is an ideal solution for the three year traditional anniversary gift of leather (nine years in the modern anniversary gift list). Many styles and types to choose from including stylish leather jackets and blazers, sheepskin coats, skirts and dresses, winter coats, vests and boots.

Theatre Tickets:

Broadway Here We Come!

Everyone loves a night out, especially if it gives you a chance to see that new show that everyone is talking about. The Lion King, Chicago, Rock of Ages, Mary Poppins, Wicked to name but a few - there's something for every taste. Combine it with a romantic getaway to the big city and you've a gift made in heaven.

Wine & Cocktails:
There's no better way to celebrate your anniversary than a good bottle of vintage wine or a glass of champagne. And who doesn't love a 'Screwdriver', 'Rusty Nail' or 'Sex on the Beach'! For those longer anniversaries, look for products that age well such as port, madeira, dessert wines, cognac, Scotch whisky and champagnes. Special anniversary glasses complete the perfect romantic gift!

Movies:
Romantic movies give you the chance to share a roller coaster of emotion snuggled up together in the comfort of your own home. You can't go wrong with any movie that stars Tom Hanks (Sleepless in Seattle) or Hugh Grant (Notting Hill and our personal favourite, Love Actually).

The Gift of Charity:
Often overlooked, but giving a gift to a charity in the name of your partner can be very moving and romantic. When you're looking for that special gift for the person who has everything, what can be better than helping those less fortunate. And your gift is tax deductible! Here are two great examples:

Canadian Feed the Children, a registered charity that has developed a holiday gift program. Donors can choose an education, health, nutrition or good livelihood gift to make a meaningful difference in a child's life. Check it out at BestGiftEver.ca
Adopt an Animal: Support the World Wildlife Fund and adopt an animal for your loved one. Select a species to adopt, choose a plush gift and much more.

Hopefully, I've given you some ideas to find that perfect wedding anniversary gift. If so, let me know how it works out, I'd love to hear about the best anniversary gift that you ever gave, or received.

One final tip when you're looking for that perfect anniversary gift, make sure that it isn't on this list of Top 10 Gifts NOT to Give Your Wife On Your Anniversary!

And don't worry, if you get it wrong, there's always next year (if you're one of the lucky ones)!

Happy Anniversary!

Anniversary Gifts for Him

2011-12-10T13:49:00.059-05:00

This article provides ideas and suggestions to help you find an anniversary gift for the man in your life.

Once you’ve found that perfect gift, check out my other anniversary tips that show you how to celebrate your anniversary. Check out the top 10 anniversary destinations for a romantic getaway, tips to write personal Wedding Anniversary Quotes and 10 Secrets of a happy marriage to make sure that you have many more anniversaries to share together!

Our Wedding Anniversary Memory Book
One of the best wedding anniversary gifts is a Memory Book where you can record anniversary celebrations, photos and other milestone events in your marriage. A perfect gift for you or your friends!

And, if you have children, you might also want to take a look at When Is Fathers Day 2012? to make this the best Fathers Day ever for your husband.

Here are my top Anniversary Gifts for Him:

(Tip: To see all of the gift ideas, give the carousel a spin using the arrows at bottom right)

Electronics:
No man can resist any new gadget, whether it is a big screen TV, mobile phone, iPad or the latest gaming device. The secret here is to find a gift that you can both share – perhaps a pair of mobile phones with free calling to each other, or a game that you can both play.

Power Tools:
Again, an unlimited range of options: drills, electric saws, routers, nail guns. Pretty hard to find anything romantic here, unless you are also a DIY expert, but at least you’ll get those odd jobs fixed by your very own handyman.

Garden Furniture:
More opportunity for romance here with a swinging chair for two, a top-of-the-line BBQ to grill a romantic dinner, a chimenea to keep you warm before you round off the evening in your very own portable hot tub.

Watches:
A watch can make an excellent anniversary gift for men. Gold or silver watches for those big anniversaries, waterproof watches for the swimmers and divers, or atomic watches for the travellers to keep track across multiple time zones.

Cameras:
A must have in any relationship to capture the memorable moments in your life - birthdays, anniversaries, romantic getaways. And, even if your man already has a camera, there is a wide range of accessories such as lenses, tripods, memory cards and photo albums.

Men's Leather Coats:
A stylish gift that is an ideal solution for the three year traditional anniversary gift of leather (nine year in the modern anniversary gift list). Many styles and types to choose from including jackets and blazers, sheepskin coats, bomber jackets, winter coats, tops and vests.

Sports Tickets:
Grab some tickets to his favourite sports team: football, basketball, hockey, golf, soccer - the list is endless. Support your local teams or travel to an away game and enjoy a romantic getaway.

Movies:
There are literally thousands of great action movies that will keep your man entertained for hours. Snuggle up on the sofa and enjoy the action. In addition to the recent releases, don’t forget to look for some of his all-time favourites like The Great Escape, Jaws, Alien or any James Bond or Clint Eastwood movie. Or perhaps a boxed set of his favourite TV show.

Hopefully, I've given you some ideas to find perfect wedding anniversary gifts for him. And don't worry, if you get it wrong, there's always next year!

Anniversary Quotes

2011-12-01T19:47:00.034-05:00

An elephant never forgets, and nor should you! Your wedding anniversary is one of the most important dates in your life, and you should celebrate it in style, starting with the perfect anniversary card..

This article looks at anniversary quotes that you can create to add that personal touch to your anniversary card. And once that's taken care of, check out my articles on traditional anniversary gifts, Anniversary gifts for Her, Anniversary gifts for Him, top 10 anniversary destinations for a romantic getaway or, if things are a little rocky, the 10 secrets of a happy marriage - you'll be glad you did!

Anniversary cards are readily available from a variety of sources, but nothing is more romantic than making your own card or adding a personal anniversary quote to a store-bought card. A good way to create a personal anniversary quote is to modify an existing, well-known rhyme.

One of my favourite rhymes for this purpose is:

"Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet, and so are you!"

"Roses are red, violets are blue, turkeys are beautiful and so are you!"

Believe it or not, it was a big hit and got a lot of laughs!

Here are some other versions to start your own creative juices:

Roses are red, violets are blue, love me so much, like I love you!
Roses are red, violets are blue, chilli is hot and so are you!
Roses are red, violets are blue, I don't want to spend a day without you!

O.K. - so now you're ready to create your very own personalized anniversary quotes! Good luck everyone!

10 Secrets of a Happy Marriage

2011-11-30T23:07:00.039-05:00

There's nothing more rewarding than a long and loving relationship, but it doesn't come easy. I've been married for over 30 years and, despite some ups and downs, it's been a fantastic experience.

This article shares 10 secrets of a happy marriage. Once you've mastered these you'll have lots of anniversaries ahead of you to check out my other articles on traditional wedding gifts, Anniversary gifts for Her, Anniversary gifts for Him, top 10 anniversary destinations for a romantic getaway, Wedding Anniversary Quotes and Sayings and more.

And men should check out Relationship Advice for Men Only to help you keep your marriage fresh. Learning 'how to flirt through text' and 'how to make a girl laugh', then use these powerful techniques with your partner to spice up your marriage!

Here are 10 secrets of a happy marriage:

Respect: It's easy to be respectful to work colleagues and friends but, when you get home, it can be just as easy to let off steam. Remember to treat your partner the way that you would like to be treated at all times.
Forgiveness: A wise man once said "To err is human". We all make mistakes and a little forgiveness goes a long way.
Sense of Humour: We often laugh about stressful events after they have been resolved. Wouldn't it be better if we could learn to laugh while they are actually happening. There's a lot of truth in the old adage "laughter is the best medicine". Tip for Men: For tips on how to make your girl laugh, take a look at Relationship Advice for Men Only
Flexibility: I'd bend over backwards to be more flexible. But seriously, being flexible, and less stubborn, will help you through a lot of sticky situations.
Celebrate: All healthy relationships need the support of friends and family. Celebrating events and anniversaries is an important way to remind ourselves of what we have.
Communicate: Although your partner expects you to be able to read minds, it actually takes several years before you develop this skill. In the meantime, communication can solve a lot of problems!
Friendship: Seems obvious, but your partner should be your best friend. Treat each other as equal, share everything, and enjoy your life together.
Support: There are very few people in the world who will love you unconditionally - your parents, your siblings (hopefully) and your partner. Never forget this, and support them in everything they do.
Romance: Take the time to spend some romantic time together - take a trip, go on a date, remind yourselves why you fell in love in the first place.
Things to avoid: And here are some of the absolute no-nos in a healthy relationship:

Never use physical violence
Never use verbal abuse
Never manipulate your partner
Never go to bed angry
Never cheat on your partner, physically or emotionally
