Near and Dear

With autumn fast approaching, it’s about time to take a break from daily routines and try something out of the ordinary. A new season calls for a new adventure away from the shores of home and into the enchanted atmosphere of the unknown. You won’t have to travel too far from home to experience a new kind of tradition. Ireland, our closest neighbor, offers everything you need for a new adventure. In order to guide you on your new endeavor, here is my two pennies worth.

The Tastes: If you’re in Ireland, you must take a bite out of the Dublin Lawyer, a traditional shellfish dish made of lobster cooked in whiskey and cream. Locals like to enjoy this dish with Guinness, a beer that originated from Dublin. While taking a sip of the finest beer around, experience the authentic ambiance of an Irish pub by visiting the Temple Bar. You can grab a drink or two and chat with local residences who will give great insight on the hidden treasures of Dublin.

The Sounds: While strumming along the streets of Dublin, take a second to submerge yourself in the Celtic sounds of traditional folk music. You’ll be delighted by the charming tunes of the fiddle and the whistle that’ll get your toe tapping. You might even be up for a round of the Irish step dance.

The Deal: And if you’re going to travel to Ireland, you might as well get a good deal on your trip. As one of the world’s leading providers of accommodations, Hotels.com brings you an incredible deal that takes up to 40% off hotel stays. During this autumn sale, you don’t even need to use a voucher code. Simply book your hotel and the savings are automatically applied at checkout. Take advantage of this brilliant opportunity by 2 November and get great savings.

Surprise Your Friends and Family with Pre-Holiday Gifts!

The holidays aren’t here just yet, but that doesn’t mean that your friends and family don’t deserve a little something special. Giving out presents for the sake of giving can be just as fulfilling, if not more so, as shopping for yourself. Surprise your friends and family early this year with a pre-holiday gift. If you’re worried about your budget, fear not — giving gifts doesn’t need to cost you a fortune. To help you figure out the perfect present for your friends that won’t drain your wallet, here are a few tips and ideas.

For Him: Whether you are buying for a boyfriend, father, or brother, it’s always tough figuring out what to get for a guy. Buying a tie, wallet, or watch can be too formal and sometimes outrageously expensive. You want to show him you care without burning out your savings so give him something that shows you know him well, understand his hobbies, and value his style.  Giving a gift related to his interests in everyday life will express a deeper, more genuine connection. A really thoughtful gift will be one that is homemade and from the heart expressing a sincere message, and won’t cost you a bundle!

For Her: Shopping for your girlfriends can be just as easy as shopping for yourself, but just to play it safe, stick to accessories. Necklaces and scarves are the best accessories to give as gifts because one size fits all!  At MyLabel right now you can take 25% off of all French Connection items, the perfect brand to buy all types of fun, funky, or fancy accessories (code: FCMYLABEL25). This offer ends on September 8, so get to pre-holiday gift shopping ASAP!
