Storm Glass Weather Station ~ A Unique Gift Idea

When you get to a certain age (I refuse to state what that age is), you might find yourself in a quandry when it comes to a gift for a birthday, anniversary, retirement or some other BIG occasion.

It's happened to me and I know it's happened to you too!  

Well, I found something that we are currently enjoying because it looks nice, has an appeal that will fit just about any lifestyle and it's always changing.

What could this possibly be?  Well let me introduce you to Our Storm Glass Weather Predictor!

I purchased this for my other half to help celebrate a birthday (I won't say which one) and he had no idea what it was even after opening it and taking a really hard look at it.  But I could see that he was amused and interested.

We took this gift one step further and added a base that lights up.  Not only does it change the way it looks, but I think it makes it even more interesting.

Our base is just perfect to add that little touch of brightness in a dark corner.  Inexpensive and it really does make this Weather Storm Glass stand out.  We love turning off our lights in the evenings and this just emits enough light that you can easily make your way around the room.

Here is a picture of it and the box that it comes in.  It was well packaged because it's delicate, we had no problem with breakage.  The  light base is not as delicate.

This is what the Storm Glass looks like when it is on the light base and you are looking down at it.  I think it's pretty amazing and unusual.

I think this looks like a storm waiting to happen, but the light playing within the Storm Glass is just mesmerizing.

So if you know someone who has just about everything they need and you still want to get them a little gift that is sure to please, add this one to your list of unique and fun items

Does it work as a weather predictor?  Apparently it should!  If the liquid is clear, there will be fair weather.  Small dots or flakes means humid weather.  Crystals forming fern like or tree like leaves means frosty or cold conditions.  If the liquid is cloudy there could be stormy weather on it's way.  And if the crystals are sinking or shapeless there could be southerly or warm winds on the way.

My eyes are not so well trained to see all these subtle differences, but I find it fascinating just to look at it and that is good enough for me.

One thing is certain, it will be a gift that will make everyone take notice, because, it is rather different and leaves room for some unpredicitable enjoyment.

Can You Feel It? Summer Is On It's Way Out! A Fashion Product Review

In Mid-August we usually start thinking about the Canadian National Exhibition!  It seems that it also heralds the beginning of the AUTUMN SEASON!  Now this year there is no Exhibition, but I can tell you that I already feel the changes in the air!

Most of the time the problem with this climate change is that it's hot through the day and it can be quite chilly at night.  If you are sleeping, that is no problem, but if you are still outdoors enjoying the last bits of summer, it can become quite uncomfortable in shorts and a T-shirt!

So what can you do to make that transition easier?  Well, I for one, have found that "HOODIES" seem to be the answer in many instances.  

Who would have thought that a Grandmother of 4 would be wearing a HOODIE?  

Well I'm here to let you know that they are (in my humble opinion) a Fashion Must Have!

Hoodies are usually fabricated out of materials similar to Sweatpants, or a Fleecy type fabric.  They are either pullover style or front zipped.  Pullover styles usually have one large pocket (commonly referred to as a Kangaroo Pocket) in the center front shared by both hands, where the zipped style usually has two individual pockets.  All "Hoodies" have the aforementioned hood too to keep your head warm!

When the evenings turn cool, a nice warm Hoodie is the answer to the changing seasons. 

Amazon has Hoodies Galore!  You can start by checking them out right here! I mean lots and lots of styles and sizes, so that everyone in the family can spend those extra hours outdoors without feeling the chill in the air.

There are many other places to get Hoodies too!  Hoodies can run from $10.00 to over $100.00!  What a price range that is!  Why?  Well many people, kids and adults like to make a statement with what they wear.  Hoodies with bright copyrighted logos are very popular among the "In Crowd". 

Shein  has hoodies for the whole family and prices are affordable or not!  The choice is yours!  Let's just say that if you want to make a fashion statement, it might cost you more than if you just want a Hoodie to keep you warm without the fuss of a distinct design.

What your "Hoodie" says about you is entirely up to you!  There are just so many choices and all of them are sure to keep you nice and warm when that weather changes.

You might even find that you love that "Kangaroo Pocket", it's a great place to keep your phone, keys and a couple of dollars too, just in case the Ice Cream Truck rolls by!
