Something Different to Give This Christmas

Written by: my undisclosed guest blogger

Christmas is fast approaching, people are getting busy once again as they prepare for their parties and family gatherings. Malls are starting to be full of people as shoppers look for the perfect gift to give their loved once this season. I must admit I classify myself as a last-minute shopper – not because I barely had the time to look for gifts, but rather its taking me a while to choose the perfect gift to give! Recently as I roamed around malls, there were a few gift ideas that I’ve seen, which I think would be great gifts this coming yuletide season.

5 Tried and Tested Ideas for your baby's bedtime routine

Whoever invented the idiom “sleeping like a baby” has obviously never had to deal with baby bedtime. Think about it --- does your baby sleep well at night? Is it ever an ordeal JUST getting baby to sleep, and does the baby wake up very early, also waking the parent in the process?

Assuming you’re following a bedtime routine, are you sure you’re getting the most out of it? Here are a couple of ideas to ensure that you do:

Pre-set Bedtime – Find the best time for your baby to sleep. It’s always better for a baby to sleep AND wake early than having the baby sleep late and wake up fatigued and agitated. Most baby bedtimes are usually around 7-8 at night.

Dinner 2 Hours Before Bedtime – Make sure that you set baby’s dinner time 2 hours before bedtime. This leaves ample time for a full bedtime routine, and also leaves the baby not-too-full that he finds difficulty sleeping.

Comfortable Clothing – So you followed the steps to the letter, but the baby still isn’t getting the best sleep at night --- it could be clothing. A baby’s skin is much, much more sensitive than an adult’s --- the slightest discomfort could irritate the baby, causing lack of sleep. This also involves the blankets and the sheets.

Planned Activities During The Day – A baby can be so full of energy, so make sure that he follows a schedule on a daily basis for him to get adequate exercise and that he feels the need for sleep during the night.

Consistency – Finally, if you find the perfect combination for a bedtime routine, get the baby used to the idea that 6-7-8 pm is time when the bedtime routine begins, so he can get the queue and fall asleep on the right time.

Follow these ideas and you might just get the most out of your baby bedtime routine. Find more ideas for bedtime routines on Baby Bedtime Center.

Globe Tattoo Youniverse - Post your Globe complaints here!

Just launched recently, you can now bash Globe directly and pray that they will finally hear you after complaining for thousands of years because here comes... Globe Youniverse!!!

It functions like Digg but, this website is full of stuffs about Globe. For example, you have this idea, you then post it at the Globe Youniverse website and let people vote on it. The higher the number of votes, the higher the chances that your ideas would be finally heard.

I have personally nothing against Globe if they just provide what they say they will provide. For example, here is the "idea" that I posted in their cool website just a few minutes back..

I'm so pissed off with Globe Broadband! Just a few months back, I terminated my Globe Visbility postpaid unlimited line. I terminated my Globe Handyphone line too.

Well, this website gave me hope that one day, they will hear me. As I posted in a seperate blog of mine a few months back, "Who am I to them? I was just a less than 5k pesos subscriber they can afford to lose."

Now, that I had my Globe visibility (now called Globe Tattoo) line disconnected, I'm saving myself 2k pesos a month.

I hope someone teaches Globe how to take care of customers.

Hey, that is a nice suggestion, don't you think?

Vote for my suggestion/idea in the Globe Youniverse if you agree with me here:

You breach us, we breach you!
