Special Gifts

Special GiftsAn original idea is to give a breakfast at home. I can ask for one or two people. Imagine the face that you get when you open the door and see all this basket with products. There are several types to choose from. Treat yourself to breakfast in bed without having to prepare anything!

For me once I took a surprise breakfast the hotel room and incredible detail … ;)

If you love photography, you’ll want to experiment with a spine. I love the model “Diana”. A few very special pictures, and it is beautiful taan … They have also released a special edition prints very cool, I have selected a model “Domino.”

If Target whom original gifts are a fan of seeing movies at home (or simply loves popcorn), this popcorn maker will delight retro aesthetic as well as give a great touch to the house. Its design is amazing, right?

Take a relaxing bath of roses. Special gifts for friends or even the same, we know that (almost) all love this type of care / mime / moments from time to time. Read the rest of this entry »

How To Use DVD Slide Shows As Wedding Entertainment

I’m certain you are all familiar with the old fashioned slide shows. Well a DVD slide show is completely different. Modern technology and software have merged together to give us the beauty and elegance of video, and apply that to our still shots. With the old fashioned slide shows you had a noisy projector which projected the images on a wall. I’m sure you all have memories of friends boring old vacation footage with the dad or mom narrating everything they saw or did on their trip. With DVD or Video Slide shows, now you can take your collection of photographs, put them in an order to create a theme, add titles, music, special effects and transitions making it into a spectacular video presentation. The beauty is that there is no noisy projector to lug around and no box of slides. All that stuff stays at home. The only thing you need with a DVD slide show is your DVD. Take that to any friends house, relatives house, or party, and pop it into a regular DVD player and show it on a big screen TV.

Now with the modern software available companies are creating DVD and Video Slide Shows and Photo montages for Wedding Receptions, Anniversaries, Birthdays, Graduations, Showers, and much more. Now any occasion can be made into a special occasion by having a DVD slide show or Photo Montage at a very reasonable price. Actually the term Photo Montage and Slide Show are interchangeable, there is no difference.

Wouldn’t it be fantastic to show a montage at your wedding reception of how you and your fiancee grew up and eventually met? Photographers generally charge and arm and a leg to do that type of work. Now with DVD Slide shows you can collect all your old photographs, send them to a company that specializes in DVD Slide Shows, and within a couple of weeks you’ll get back a Montage of your pictures with Music, Transitions, Titles, and Menus and it will be all ready to show at your reception.

The International Comedy Gala: Hosted by John Cleese, Sydney – September 3

Be prepared to have your sides split wide open as the International Comedy Gala comes to Sydney’s shores on September 3 at the Opera House. World renowned comedy powerhouse Just For Laughs will take the show on the road, lavishing the audience with the outrageous jokes, ridiculous quips and gregarious gags of the world’s most loved comedians.

As a stalwart of the laughter trade he continuous blow people away on the world comedy circuit and is worth the entrance fee alone.

His unique English humour will be reinforced by the ostentatious, outrageous humour of Margeret Cho, a darkly brilliant comic who certainly isn’t for the faint hearted. She’ll be joined by Dylan Moran, much eulogised in the French paper ‘Le Monde’ for his sardonic Celtic take on the world. As if that wasn’t enough, you’ll enjoy the fabulous raconteurism of Louis C.K, as he puts the world (and himself) bang to rites. The much celebrated American comic has truly established himself as a great in modern comedy, boasting such credentials as comedy writer for the Chris Rock Show and the David Letterman Show, as well as a string of highly successful stand-up shows.

The first show marks the start of an exciting collaboration between Just For Laughs, Sydney Opera House and Adrian Bohm presents as they synergise their efforts to make this event the number one comedy festival in Australia. This will be your chance to witness it from the very beginning, when you may well be able to say you saw the greatest comedy event in Oz take off.
