Father’s Day festival gives us the perfect opportunity to express gratitude to our Daddy for all his unconditional love and affection. It’s an occasion to make your father feel that you owe your progress and prosperity to him; you appreciate and acknowledge his selfless contribution in your life. Here are some tips to help you think of a fabulous Father’s Day gift.
First make a list of his interests and hobbies of your Dad. Is he a sports lover, technophiles or a book lover? If he is a gadget-freak, get him a new gadget. Think of an accessory, which supports his hobby. Gifts related to activities of interest to your Dad like gardening will sure make him happy.

Give him a gift card so that he can pay a visit to his favorite store. This may appear a tad impersonal, but you give Dad the opportunity to get exactly what he wants, something he will totally appreciate.
Plan an ideal Sunday by taking a cue from what your Dad likes to in his leisurely time and then give it a real royal, super-size treatment. Stick to your Dad’s comfort zone in terms of his tastes and preferences. If he has always worn horizontal striped buttoned down short-sleeve shirts, think twice about getting him the vertical stripes just because you believe it would look good on him.

Celebration of Father’s Day makes you ponder about the vital role played by your father play in your life. The day helps you to come emotionally closer to your Dad. Children must take this opportunity to express their gratitude for fathers. The best way of doing so is giving him a beautiful gift, and saying “I love you, Papa!” Making a Father’s Day memorable has nothing to do with how expensive gift you get. You just wish to let him know how much you respect, love and appreciate him.

Alcohol is an integral part of the current work ethos. Several organizations throw semi-formal parties and on many occasions proposals are discussed over a couple of drinks at the bar around the corner. An evening out with the bosses or partners or colleagues at least once a week has become passé. Many would credit these relaxed evenings meetings to their increased alcohol intake. June 8 brings with it Name Your Poison Day and, suddenly, there is an extra edge in your favorite drink.

But there are a few things you need to keep in mind when you’re mixing your poison with office. After all, your choice of poison says a lot about you.

Vodka is a tasteless, odorless drink that takes on any flavor that you want it to by mixing it with the right juice or soft drink. It’s great with lemonade, apple juice and tonic water.

What it says about you: You are a free-thinker, flexible and like to experiment.

Rum sits on the fence between the sophistication of Scotch and the bonhomie of beer. In fact, it is a great choice for office parties.

Dark rum is best with coke, while white rum tastes good with most soft drinks and juices. What it says about you: You’re fun-loving without being frivolous and you love a good joke. You know how to get your work done with tact.

Whiskey carries with it the image of success.While wine is for the sophisticated socialite, a good scotch is the choicest poison for the savvy and successful businessman.

Mix it with soda and water — it’s the best combination. Or have it on the rocks. What it says about you: You are sophisticated, mature and think in terms of the bigger picture. You are a good strategist and always in control of a situation.

Wine is not just the poison of the season. Many love to take up a glass of wine to emulate a certain snobbery, but the health benefits of the drink has helped it catch on with many, with even doctors recommending a glass or two every week.

Wine is best paired with the right kind of food — red wine with red meat, white wine with white meat. What it says about you: You like the finer things in life. Red wine drinkers are seen as discerning and organized people whereas white wine drinkers are perceived to be more enterprising and assertive.

Wine and whiskey make for great gifts. Whiskey is a great accessory for when you are aiming to make contacts at a party, or want to clinch a new deal. Wine is great at cocktail parties and formal sit-down dinners. Vodka is suitable for semi-formal office events.

Beer is absolutely perfect for office lunches or outdoor events like annual meets and picnics. Rum goes with almost any evening event but can be unpopular in hot weather. You want to make a gift of your drink? Wine and a fine Scotch are first-rate choices, but ascertain your recipient’s tastes to better decide.

Drinking Etiquette
Take a moment and think about how you are downing your poison in full view of your colleagues and superiors. You may feel that you are a seasoned and hardened drinker, but others might have a different impression of you.
1. Never gulp your drink — sip it.
2. Don’t mix drinks, no matter what the temptation.
3. Don’t get excited just because the drinks are on the house — even if you are, don’t show it.
4. Don’t give everybody the impression that you’re a loser by counting your pegs.
5. Drink a glass of water after every two drinks.
6. Wipe excess moisture off your hands before shaking someone else’s.
7. Carry mints with you — after a few drinks you will need them!

You know you are too high when …
1. You find yourself slapping your boss’ back
2. You feel light-headed to the point of dizziness
3. You get sloppy with your speech
4. You find yourself uninhibited to the point of no control
5. If you’re feeling like throwing up, you’re beyond control already. Just make sure that you are throwing up alone, in a locked bathroom.

A hammock swing chair puts one in a free and relaxed state of mind away from day-to-day worries. It’s the perfect gift to a busy corporate executive who yearns to relax after a hectic day.

When you decide to get a hammock chair for gifting purpose, ensure that it is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use (We recommend waterproof, nylon material). Select the material for the hammock chair on basis of the individual’s tastes or preference.

The hammock chair you buy should closely match the person’s tastes and needs. “Feel” and the “functionality” both are equally important. They usually carry smooth, soft cushions, and provide a soothing swing, putting one in a peaceful, relaxed mode.

You may opt for the portable deluxe hammock. It’s a self-contained freestanding hammock and stand combo, which comes in a backpack for easy portability. One may use it anywhere or simply set it up at home in his or her favorite corner for a quick nap or an extended long book-reading session or merely relaxation.

If your budget allows you, you may try to get a luxury hammock that comes with features like a book holder, cup holder, and an inflatable pillow. Such value-adds will make it as comfortable as it gets. 

The Deluxe Portable Hammock is indeed convenient! It can fold up into a backpack for saving space and easy transportation. It is free standing so one need not scratch one’s head as where to set it up. A user simply unfolds it, inserts locking pins and attaches it.

Deepa Hammocks (http://www.hammockindia.com/index.htm); Totree hammocks (http://www.hammocks-manufacturer.com/) and Second May International (http://www.secondmay.net/) are some of the resources where you can get to check various types of hammocks and buy them.

“A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses,” goes an anonymous saying. It is only fitting that we have a special day only for the Queen of all flowers.

Yes, June is the month for roses and what better way to celebrate life than to celebrate the flower that represents all the beauty and romance of life?
But like all else, roses of different colours have different meanings. Check these out before heading out and buying a bouquet for your near and dears ones at office or at home.

Red Roses
Red roses are commonly associated with love and romance and, particularly with Valentine’s Day. Nothing can be more intense than love represented by a single long-stemmed rose, conjuring up visions of a couple doing the Tango.

The deeper and darker the shade of red, the better. The red rose with sharp, prominent thorns are significant of the truth that pain and sorrow are worth it … for love.
Save these for your romantic partner – gifting them to your secretary will just land you in court.

Pink Roses
Just like pink is a gentler shade of red, it symbolises a gentler, more unassuming kind of love or affection. With that love the pink rose carries gratitude and appreciation toward the recipient.

Deep pink roses signify gratitude, admiration, appreciation and sympathy. They can be presented to a sick person suggesting ‘Get well soon’. Light pink roses denote liveliness and fun. Pale pink roses suggest admiration, sweetness and gratitude. They can be used to express feelings strictly confining to friendship.
All pink roses can be used in friendship bouquets.
Pick your occasion well when opting for these roses.

White Roses
Innocence, pure love, reverence and humility are the qualities associated with the white rose.

It is an ideal flower to begin a relationship with, representing a kind of spiritual love.

White roses are common for both the most joyous and painful occasions, as they are a symbol of honour and purity at a wedding and a token of remembrance and reverence at funerals.

Again, the occasion on which you choose to use these roses makes them appropriate, or not.

Coral Roses
These are highly vibrant roses with

the multitude of colours layered and overlapping each other.

They reveal desire and passion and are often picked up by those who are passionate by nature.

Orange Roses
Although they are more commonly used for decoration purposes, orange roses are also great initiators of a relationship,

but hinting at desire, fascination and enthusiasm, unlike the purity of the white rose. They are also a popular way of congratulating a friend or a partner.

Yellow Roses

The happy colour of yellow is seldom used for romantic purposes. Yellow roses mostly signify ‘congratulations,’ joy, gladness and delight, caring, ‘Welcome back,’ and ‘remember me’. They are symbols of happiness and friendship.

In earlier times, in Europe, they were also used to suggest jealousy or dying love. But today the sunshine colour means happiness, mental stimulation and good cheer.
These are great for the office – they spread a feeling of happiness without unnecessary romantic connotations.

Lilac or Lavender Roses
The lilac or lavender rose is a rare flower and said to be one of the most beautifully elegant flowers on this Earth.

Due to its unusual nature, it is fast becoming a popular choice for the expression of romantic feelings.

Their unusual colour also led them to be associated with enchantment in older times.

Peach Roses
It is very similar to the pink rose in terms of significance, but the peach rose is much more of a rare find.

Peach roses portray feelings of gratitude, admiration, sociability and friendship. Pale peach roses symbolize modesty.

Black Roses and Dead Roses
In all honesty, there is no such thing as a black rose. It may exist in Goth culture, signifying a tragic romance, but if you find them in a florist’s shop, it means the florist has dried the rose and dyed it black.

To send anybody black roses is to make your ill-wish towards that person known. Dead roses indicate the culmination of a relationship.

Rose Combinations

When combined together, roses change their significance. While a bouquet of red roses signify love, combine them with yellow roses to symbolize joy and celebration.

White with yellow brings a sense of delicate harmony into the surroundings.
A combination of red and white roses communicates unity or an engagement.
On the whole, if rose buds are your choice of flower, they signify gratitude, youth and beauty in any colour.

Rose Numbers
There are also some hidden messages in the number of roses you choose to select for your home or office.
The single rose, whatever its colour, depicts utmost devotion to a single person.
Two roses entwined together communicate the sentiment of a marriage proposal.
Six roses signify your need to be loved or cherished.
If you need to assure your love that he/she is truly and deeply loved, eleven should be your number.
Thirteen is far from an unlucky number where roses are concerned – it indicates a silent admirer.
Flamboyant and ardent lovers can also splurge on 365 roses, denoting that your love is constant throughout the year.
Going one step further, 1001 roses speak volumes of a faithful love that promises to live on forever.

So give your feelings the right accompaniment with the right colour and the right number of roses.
