The Ideal 21st Birthday Present

This coming September is my boyfriend’s 21st birthday. We’ve been together for 3 years and we both feel quite strongly about each other. I finished university this year and David finishes next year. Which is when we plan on working and travelling around South America. We’re both fairly adventurous types and have been on various charity and learning travels throughout our lives. For our South America trip he’s even taken Spanish as an additional module so he feels better prepared for our travel.

He’s such an accomplished person that I struggled to think what I could get him as a present for the big 2 1. Which was when the idea hit me. A watch! Simple, functional, stylish and most importantly I knew he was thinking of getting one after he’d lost his grandfather’s watch. I knew it wasn’t possible to replace it and besides I wanted to create my own memories with my present which was how I ended up looking at a range of Citizen, Rotary, Guess and Ice Watches. All of which looked incredibly impressive, but I felt it had to best suit David.

In the end I went with my gut, the watch that I thought had the most features that ticked off all the uses David would need from a watch. It even told the time!

I chose a Citizen’s Calibre 2100 Chronograph Eco Drive Watch. Quite a mouthful that packs an equal punch. It’s a stainless steel watch that’s water resistant, ideal for when he decides to go snorkelling or diving off Chile. It also comes with a 5 year guarantee that with Jim, I know would come in handy. The watch itself is perfect for Jim as it is multi purpose with several sub dials that can measure time in different ways including the basic stopwatch.

I think personally the best thing about it is that it looks timeless and could easily take him from day to night.

Conclusion

I can’t wait to give David his 21st birthday present. I know that he will be thrilled with his Citizen Watch and all the additional ‘toys’ within it. It’s the perfect gift as he turns 21 and it’s the perfect gift for when he’s travelling. If not to tell the time then at the very least to remember me by!

Self – Confident Is The Key of a Successful Presentation

A webmaster not only has to be able to develop a professional and a good looking website but also has to master on how to do a presentation in front of prospective clients. You should prepare it carefully. You must master the products you want to sell. You also can create a handout that helps you in the presentation. For example the price list and features on each package you provide.

But most important is your mental attitude. Many webmasters fail in the presentation because lack of self confidence. The key of a successful presentation is self confidence. You must be sure of your own ability and you deserve the job. Maybe you have the burden of having to deal with a manager which is one of your clients, you need to remember now you are the owner as well as the director of your web design company, you are on the highest position in your company. Do not be discouraged but not arrogant and believe in yourself that you can do it.

Do not get carried away by your emotions, relax. Inhale and exhale. Close your eyes if it is necessary. Search burdens in you, feel that it is a false fear, not unreasonable. If you managed to break it, then you would lightly make a presentation. In the that calm condition you will be more able to absorb what are your clients need, and then providing solutions to generate attractive website in accordance with their budget. Then they will trust you to do the job, since you seem convinced. The key is self confidence.

One more thing that you should not neglect is to be HONEST. Be honest to yourself whether or not you are able to handle a project given by your clients.Take a project that you can really handle, when you cannot handle a project then give reasons to them. Do not fool yourself around because you put your name on it. I know some webmasters who are being chased by their clients because they cannot finish a project. I myself have done several unfinished projects like that.

Take projects that you cannot handle as your homework. Practice to develop a website in accordance with such projects, so your knowledge will continue to grow. Or you can cooperate with other parties you can trust to be able to complete these projects.

Do not get discouraged, stay confident and keep on working!

Purchasing the Best Christening Presents

It can be difficult to know what to buy as a Christening present. It’s difficult to think of a gift to purchase for a baby which will be suitable for the majority of its life. I’ve written the following article to inform you of the best presents which are suitable for a Christening.

I canvas of all pictures of the new born to date is a nice gift that can be treasured for the rest of their lives. This is also a great present for the parents and shows the changes in their appearance in the early stages of their lives. I would strongly recommend this to closer family members who will have access to pictures like this. Don’t forget this may take some time to create as the pictures have got to be uploaded and made into a collage.

A charming dolls house for girls could be a lovely gift. Family members can purchase things for the doll’s house throughout the children’s younger years. Often adults still have dolls houses and this would be a nice ‘keep sake’ item to remind them of their youth.

Personalised handmade sundials are also a nice gift. This can be put in the child’s garden when they’re grown up which is a lovely ‘keep sake’ and can be used for their entire life.

Personalised plates are also a great idea as they can have a personal message or name on the plate which can be lovely for memories. It can also be used whenever throughout their life which is a lovely thought.

Whatever you choose I would recommend giving it much thought so you purchase the best gift. I would also recommend purchasing with voucher codes to save money on the purchase. Whichever gift you purchase will be great as you have put time and consideration into the gift.
