Christmas Gift Ideas for Teenage GirlsPosted by Blogmaster in Earings, tags: Christmas, Gift, Girls, Ideas, TeenageFor a parent of a teenage girl the choice of what to buy her for Christmas will probably be a straightforward one. After all, she is your daughter and you will have a good idea of her taste, interests and style. But for a relative, perhaps an uncle, aunt or grandparent it may not be so simple? The main problem is that there are so many different music styles, fashions and celebrity types that teenagers are interested in. It is no longer a simple matter of assuming whatever music is in the charts then all teenagers will like it. The same goes for fashion or just about anything that a teenager will be interested in. There are just too many options and, alas, too many possibilities of getting it entirely wrong. Unless you know the teenager very well then these areas are best avoided. Gift ideas which are fairly safe will include beauty accessories, electronics, gift vouchers or simple jewellery. Beauty Accessories Teenagers are very conscious of their appearance and girls especially will spend a lot of time experimenting with different looks. Although cosmetics in general will be an entirely personal choice there are various accessories which are always top of the most wanted list. Hair straighteners, nail care kits, hair-dryers, compact mirrors and make-up bags are always good ideas. Electronics No longer the preserve of young males, electronic goods such as MP3 players, mobile phones and cameras are popular. Netbook computers and laptops are also fashionable, if your budget will allow, and the colour pink is a favoured option. Jewellery Although there are many styles of jewellery which will suit various fashions there are, also, classic pieces which are especially suitable as gifts. Silver necklaces with a cross or locket, charm bracelets, simple stud earrings and wrist watches are often a safe bet and can often be personalised with engraved initials or a short message. If you really are stuck then a classic jewellery box might also be a good idea? Gift Vouchers If all else fails then you can always fall back on the old gift voucher fail-safe option. Just about every retailer offers gift vouchers and there are also specialist gift companies who offer special experience days which are redeemable with a voucher. Gift vouchers are also useful for last minute gifts – as many can now be bought online with a simple email being sent to the recipient, which is ideal if you really have left it until Christmas day itself. Whatever your choice of gift, remember to take some time in the presentation and try to find some nice wrapping paper or a gift box. Many gifts can be bought on-line with gift wrapping including, which is great for saving time and ensuring a professional finish. Also, don’t forget that buying and presenting a gift should be a pleasurable experience so take your time and have a great Christmas.

Christmas Crafts: How to Make Chandelier Earrings Out of CardboardPosted by Blogmaster in Earings, tags: Cardboard, Chandelier, Christmas, Crafts, EarringsChristmas is the time for giving. So how long is the list of people you need to buy gifts for? What is your budget?
If your budget is tight, you could spend more time and less money by making presonalized christmas gifts for the girls, using cardboard. This project is kind of tricky, so I suggest you try one pair first to see if you are up to it and whether you like the results.
You will need cardboard, pencil,pen knife, paint,needle,thread, vial of tiny beads,a pair of earring findings hooks.
1. Draw a dozen pairs of stars in varying sizes on cardboard. 24 stars altogether to be divided into 2 equal sets. The smallest star should be at least 2 cm wide.
2. Cut out these stars and paint them a shiny silver or gold or any pretty color depending on the look you want. Divide these stars into 2 equal sets. Work on 1 set at a time.
3. Take the first set, divide it into 3 subsets of 4 stars. Each subset should one of the 3 largest stars in this set.
4. Take one subset of 4 stars. Thread a needle and pierce it through the spike of the largest star. Tie a knot to secure this star. This will be the bottom of that earring strand.
5. Pass the needle through a 3 tiny beads.
6. Run the needle through the center of the second largest star in the subset and secure it by running the needle through a point in the star. Tie a knot to secure this star and pass the thread through 3 more tiny beads.
7. Repeat 6. for the other stars in the subset.
8. Pass the needle through the eye of the earring finding and back through the top bead of this strand, securing the strand to the earring finding.
9. Repeat steps 4 to 9 for the other 2 strands. Once done, you have a single chandelier earring.
10. Repeat steps 3 to 9 with the other set for the matching earring.
