I think we all cannot wait until the warmth of the sunshine hits our faces. The sun has a unique way of making us feel better, if only we could switch it on like a light bulb! Ah well, I guess we could always emigrate to a sunnier climate!

It seems we are becoming choosier about what we do, where we go and obviously what we spend. So when it comes to gift buying, ideally we want to get a really great present without having to spend an absolute fortune.

You may be sitting there chuckling to yourself thinking “that's not very realistic, good luck with that one”, well I might just surprise you. What's more I've got a few ideas to put you on the right track, and even better you can get them all from under one roof and from the comfort of your own home. Yes, you do not have to wrap up and brave the outdoors; in fact you may not even have to get out of bed....if you have a laptop!

Welcome to the land of Findmeagift.com. Your one stop online gift emporium!

So let's get right into it. Hands up who likes Top Gear? It an entertaining programme that has universal appeal, thanks to its great format. With everyone who tunes in trying to solve the mystery that is the Stig! Declare your mate as the Stig (or you, if you fancy treating yourself), with a personalised Top Gear Stig Poster. For an absolute bargain at under a tenner, you can put any name on the front of a framed A3 poster, which is a reproduction of the front cover of a Top Gear Magazine. It makes a great gift, which has that personal touch, which any Stig fan will love.

Do you know anyone who is completely star struck? For a change I'm not talking of the Brad Pitt kind! I'm on about the sky at night, that vast celestial ceiling of twinkling wonders. On a clear night you can get lost in its awe. So what better gift can you get someone who is either a budding astronomer or just really appreciates the beauty and spectacle of the night sky, than a Name a Star gift of course. Boldly go where no gift they have received has gone before! You can name the star anything, and in return you get a framed personalised certificate, stating the name and its database reference number. It also comes with an educational astronomy starter kit with a spectacular sky chart and star poster and a guide book to the Northern Constellations, phew; so many goodies and they all come in a presentation box. A truly eternal gift!

Sticking with the night theme, how about a really cute teddy bear? Ok, there are millions of bears out there to choose from, but why not choose one which you can personalise? Findmeagift.com does a Personalised Teddy Bear. This cute, high quality and totally huggable traditional teddy bear stands 30cm tall and is wearing a t-shirt that you can personalise. You have up to 28 words to play with, so you could write a short poem for a loved one, or have a significant date put on the t-shirt, a joke or favourite saying, just let your imagination run wild!

So, did I manage to surprise you? Are you now thinking of people who would love these kinds of gifts? But before I go, let's get back to the sun. I confess being able to bring the sun out on demand is totally out of my league. So how about capturing it in a jar?

Come on; own up, if I didn't surprise you before, I have now! Admittedly it isn't actually the sun in a jar, besides; it would have to be one big mighty jar. Anyway Findmeagift.com has the next best thing. The Sun Jar, it stores the suns energy up for use when the moon and stars come out. It uses a specialised Solar Power cell battery, which charges from direct sunlight during the day. Then as night falls, it automatically glows with natural light at the brightness of a candle. A unique and clever gift that is portable and waterproof, making it ideal to put out in the garden, or out on the patio, perfect for those lazy summer evening barbeques. They even do a blue version – called the Moon Jar, it would go great with the ‘Name a Star' gift.

Great personalised gifts do not have to cost the earth and they can still be out of this world...literally! For loads more gift ideas and options, why don't you take a trip online to Findmeagift.com and you could be in for a nice surprise.

Funerals are often seen as a way of celebrating someone's life, as much as saying goodbye, and today many people like to personalise funerals to reflect the deceased person's life, personality and interests. For example, it is very common for traditional hymns to be bypassed at funeral services with instead a selection of music that the deceased enjoyed, or what the family or close friends think best represented them, played.

The same is sometimes applied to colours and dress code. Many funerals ask that attendees do not wear black whilst others may ask that people dress casually if for example the deceased was not a fan of formal events. There are many other ways that funerals are personalised and these are just examples to highlight that a funeral does not have to follow a strict protocol and that when organising a funeral you should always do what you think the deceased person would have wanted.

Today with fewer people attending church it is quite likely that if you choose a religious element to a funeral that the member of the clergy will not have known the deceased. Many will ask you for lots of information about them, including their interests and perhaps some anecdotes, for them to integrate into their procedings but again there is nothing stopping you or someone else close to the deceased making your own speech reflecting on the life of your loved one.

And when making speech it doesn't have to be formal. In fact the less formal the better in some cases. Again the funeral is meant to be a celebration of someone's life and I'm sure the deceased would prefer funny stories and incidents being recited rather than long passages that are irrelevent to them and those attending the funeral.

Personalise the Coffin

As well as personalising the funeral service there is also the option of personalising the parts that make up the funeral such as the flowers or the coffin itself. For example, someone who was particularly concerned by the environment or saving money may prefer a cardboard coffin. These are a lot cheaper than wooden coffins and can often be personalised to reflect a truly individual style.

Some wooden coffins can also be painted and personalised to reflect say the support for a particular football team. Some can also be shaped to symbolise a particular interest or hobby.

Coffins are traditionally carried by pall bearers who will normally be supplied by the funeral company or crematoria you are dealing with. However, do not be afraid to stipulate who you would like to see carrying the coffin as often family members and close friends like to be involved in this part of the funeral service.

Another way to personalise the funeral service is to ask mourners to bring something along to lay on the coffin as it is buried or cremated. Some people prefer this to be for close family members only but is the perfect opportunity for people to say goodbye through a note or object which they associated with the deceased.

There are of course hundreds of ways to personalise a funeral service and it will depend on the person whose funeral it is and those who are organising the funeral. The best way to approach it is to think what the deceased would have wanted and how they would have liked to be remembered. Remember this day is about them and their life, not just about your relationship to that person, but also the relationship that person had with everyone else they knew and loved.
