Birthday Gifts: A Happy Beginning

Oct 11, 2010 Delivered Birthday Cakes

Birthday gifts today are much a part of the birthday celebration as the blowing of the birthday candle and the having of a birthday cake. But the question is when did people start giving birthday gifts? And why do we give them at all? Here are some answers to shed light on the annual event that we either happily anticipate or in the case of some, thoroughly dread.

When early civilizations began to have more accurate ways of measuring time, they began marking special events like produce harvesting or in this case, birthdays. However, in the days before Christianity, it was believed that evil spirits descended upon people celebrating their birthdays thus making it necessary for the birthday celebrator to be surrounded by merriment to drive away the nasty spirits. During these times, birthday gifts were not yet common and what people often gave were well wishes for the celebrator. Nonetheless, if a guest brought a token, or what we have now come to know as a birthday gift during the festivities, it was considered a good omen for the birthday celebrator.

Nowadays, we give birthday gifts not to help drive away evil spirits but rather to show love and respect to the birthday celebrator. We make sure that our birthday gifts are something the recipient will be happy to receive and that will show our understanding of the person as we have been witnesses to another chapter in their lives.

It is not an easy job to choose birthday gifts. That is why to know where the idea came from and why we do it is important to truly appreciate that all the creative thinking and hard work we do to come up with fantastic birthday gifts are not in vain.

Aug 10, 2010 Online Bakery

Every bride looks forward to a perfect wedding, though perhaps not the planning that it warrants.  There are fun parts of wedding planning, like choosing a dress and setting up a gift registry, but that leaves a lot of work in the not-so-fun column. Designing a seating plan for guests at the reception is perhaps more work than enjoyment; addressing dozens of wedding invitations might not be a pleasure; searching far and wide for the right photographer is perhaps not an amusing exercise. For these chores, there are, thankfully, online tools that can help get things done.

Making a bride’s work easier, The Happy Bride is an online bridal and wedding services directory for Southern Ontario weddings. Their mission is to provide a comprehensive directory of businesses that offer products or services for brides and for weddings.  Hands-on brides will be pleased to find listings for services in their area for florists, bakeries, DJs, photographers and more. For busy brides, The Happy Bride posts listings for wedding planners and decorators who specialize in Ontario weddings.

Using The Happy Bride directory is easy. Brides can easily search by region, for example, Kitchener/Waterloo, for all the wedding or bridal services in their local area.
