I love receiving gifts. Receiving gifts on special occasions is amazing. What is even more amazing is when I receive a gift for no reason at all. That makes the gift so thoughtful and even more special. I believe tiny gifts are great for gifting on non special occasions. Do you agree?

Here are some amazing examples of tiny gift ideas for her.

Miniature Bottles of Wine

Who can say no to a good bottle of wine? I know I can’t. Miniature bottles of wine are great tiny gift ideas. I remember getting some in duty-free on Milan flight. They were so useful. Great for a whenever I am alone and need a glass of wine. I think they serve as great tiny gifts ideas.

If you are after miniature bottles of wine, Just Miniatures stocks some amazing brands, so go have a look.

Perfumes

Perfumes always make me a smile. I can never have enough bottles of perfumes. They make great gifts and are amazing tiny gift ideas for her or him. I like smiling nice and different everyday. So having a couple of perfumes always helps.

I currently have about 8 bottles of perfume, and for the record, that is nowhere near the number of perfumes I had when I worked a 9 – 5 job.

Watches

Watches are great as tiny gift ideas. I am a watch girl, so I always appreciate a good watch. You don’t have to spend a fortune on a quality watch if you don’t want to. There are so many watches to pick from, in various price ranges.

I can never turn my back on a good watch. Can you?

Flowers

Flowers are loved by many and most of them are reasonably priced. So they make great tiny gifts. You can speak your heart with a lovely bunch of flowers, without saying anything.

I wasn’t really into flowers, until a few years ago, and now I love them.

Chocolates

Chocolates also serve as great tiny gift ideas for everyone. No sweet tooth can ever say no to chocolates. They are usually affordable, which is great as a gift for a non occasion day. Do you agree?

Summer is a beautiful season. It’s one of my favourite seasons of the year. The holidays, jolly sunshine, the cheery mood and friendly warmth always makes me happy. I guess the lovely season has prompted this Summer Decorating Tips post.

Simple interior decorating tips can bring in any season you desire into your home or your office. The trick is to add little reminders of the season. For this post, I am focusing on the current summer season.

Here are some summer decorating tips that you can start implementing right away –

Flowers or Floral print pillows

What if your home had blooming flowers all the time? Having real life flowers is always charming, and it is one of the best ways to ensure your home decor is seasonal. Another easy way to bring the summer into your home is to get floral print pillows.

Such pillows are excellent as summer decor as the warm colours of summer brings in this feel of summer. Get floral pillows that have a mix of orange, yellow and warm red. Such colours are excellent for depicting the summer vibe.

Bring in ‘em stripes

Aside from flowers and floral prints, stripes make a good pattern to decorate the house with. Striped throw pillows, striped table cloths and even striped wallpaper create a very lovely summer mood. Unlike floral prints, stripes are quite sober yet fun.

Remember to create some contrast. If you’re going to have striped wallpaper then you don’t have to cover all 4 walls. Stick to half or just one side.

Shaded string lights

Summer is a season of fun, warmth and family gatherings. Shaded string lights that are arranged in the garden or on the porch bring about a very playful feel. Everywhere is kept bright as the warm light from the shaded string lights line the sitting area outside. This inspires family dinners in the garden, where you’ll enjoy nature and the beauty of summer night.

The best way to go about this is using a string of shaded lights and arranging them along a porch or over the length of a shade where you know you can set a table where people can seat around for dinner. That creates the perfect ambience for the summer season.

Rearrange the room to focus on the windows

Here is my last summer decorating tip. Rearrange the room to focus on the windows if you can. This allows for more light to flow in.

The Gift of Flowers

Growing up in Africa, I was not much of a flower girl. Life was not too busy in the crazy city of Lagos, for me to have the time to think of planting or flowers. But I am now at a point in my life where I appreciate the gift of flowers. I think flowers are a great gift to give and receive.

Flowers are now universally accepted in this part of the world, and I can see why. Flowers send unspoken messages, and I think it is a great easy way to show appreciation to a friend or family member, or even a work colleague. I do prefer some flowers to others, some strike a deeper chord in my heart and I find them delicately pretty. Here are 3 of my favourite flowers –

Roses

When I think of Red Roses, I think of Love. I love Red Roses. It is a very pretty flower. I am also a lover of the Pink, Yellow, Peach and Orange Roses. I think they all smell amazing, and would make great gifts, depending on the occasion.

The quality of the flowers matter as well, so it’s best to get them from a reputable supplier like Flying Flowers, who has been in the business of handmade bouquets for decades now.

Sunflowers

Sunflowers are another favourite of mine. While researching the origin of Sunflowers, I discovered hey were one of the first crops to be grown in America, and their seeds were used to make flour for bread. Did you know that?

Sunflowers make me very happy. There is something so positive and uplifting about the sunflower, it could be because of the yellow colour and in your face shape.

Tulips

Tulips are another favourite of mine. I love having a Tulip Bouquet in the house. And when it comes to the gift of flowers, they are great to give as a birthday, wedding, anniversary or congratulatory gift. I think the Tulip also represents Love, Happiness and Positivity. Do you agree?
