Holiday Gift Ideas!

It’s that time of year when you keep asking your loved ones for their wish list only to get a “I don’t know” answer for the umpteenth time.  It’s getting harder and harder when it’s so easy to just click online and order for yourself. Gift giving now requires even more creativity put into it. What can you buy that your loved one will appreciate but wouldn’t necessarily know about the product? In a perfect world, you would give handmade gifts but now we’re just acting crazy. Back to reality…we’ve put a short list of some unique ideas for you.

INTENTIONAL MARRIAGES WEBINARS – ONLY $10/month!

Yes, our first suggestion is a bit narcissistic but stick with me here. Webinars are a great way to schedule a date night and connect on a deeper level vs watching tv. Bonus points Husbands! <hint hint>

Maybe your spouse isn’t interested in reading a marriage book or attending a marriage seminar. This might be a good option to connect in the privacy of your own home and sharpen up your relationship skills. Every marriage deserves intentional investments. (see what I did there?)

Starting January 2019, our Webinar pricing will be higher because instead of monthly webinars we will be doing weekly webinars.

Weekly Webinars is only $10/month but come January 2019 the price will be $18/month!

Lock $10/month in now and save almost $100!

This special only lasts through the end of this year. Great Christmas gift for your spouse!

CALM APP

Before you make any snap judgements, this one took some time for me to get used to. Have you tried stopping for two minutes and doing nothing? We need this break in our brains to stay creative, to allow our minds to stop, which in turns calms our nervous system down.

I was going through a pretty rough patch when I finally gave in to this “new age” practice. Our counselor had been recommending meditation for years and I just wrote it off as “that’s what other people do.” But during the holidays when the to-do list seems to multiply daily and the get togethers with family & friends can be fun…what gifts should you get, what should you wear (okay maybe you guys aren’t worried about that so much,) is everything decorated just right, how long are we staying at Aunt Mary’s? etc…? S-t-r-e-s-s-f-u-l!!

The Calm App does offer free meditation options, as well as paid upgrades. I’ve only used the free options and love it! My personal favorite scene is the Mountains with the River flowing through. You can turn on the app and focus just on this scene.

Unfortunately, my mind is too busy and I need someone to guide my meditation so I’ve chosen to do the Body Scan. As you can see, you can start with as little as 3 minutes. My personal favorite has been the 25 minute option. There is a female guide who has the perfect tone of voice and sets a good pace to follow. She reminds you how to meditate without it feeling pushy or judgemental. Honestly, the first few times didn’t really do much for me but after the 4th or 5th session I was hooked. I could physically feel a difference. A literal calming difference.

Don’t knock it until you try it!

VERTELLIS

This increasing focus on the holiday season causes “holiday anxiety”. Where does this stress come from? I personally believe that it has a different source than worrying about eating, drinking, decoration and presents. I think that it stems more from our need to experience memorable moments with the people that are dear to you.

More and more often, these moments of genuine attention are disrupted and they become less frequent. We seem to increasingly lose ourselves in our tablets and phones instead of in a good conversation. -Vertellis

Tired of all the small talk and crave more genuine deep conversations? Then this is the perfect game to purchase.

The game is played with friends, family, or colleagues. Through questions that trigger memories and stories you will get to know those closest to you in a new (deeper) way. At the end of the game you will know who has been paying attention but most importantly you will have had meaningful conversations with your loved ones.

Vertellis is a Dutch brand, which means “tell me more.”
