Want to be sure you have a backup plan? Here’s the scoop on some last-minute gift ideas that just might turn out to be the season’s favorites.

A ride in a hot air balloon…yes, seriously! Check out for a listing of local hot air balloon rides and purchase your tickets right there. What a cool gift!

A pre-paid spa experience. When it comes to the ladies in your life, is there anything better or more fun than getting a chance to hit the spa? From massages to facials to mani/pedis – you cannot go wrong with a trip to the spa.

Winterwedding

Celebrating your winter wedding abroad can be a great and unique experience especially if you come from a region where you do not see snow flakes falling during the winter time and would have wished to benefit from snow settling on the slopes where you could slide down carried away in a sleigh. Now, with the occasion of your wedding festivity your wish can come true and have your special day organized in on e of those regions that snow is present in its full rights for more than 3 months a year.

 

 Set in the gorgeous Arctic town of Jukkasjarvi, the extraordinary Ice Hotel is made entirely from ice and contains a glacial church of almost impossible beauty, perfect for tying the knot. Year-round snow adds to this unforgettable venue’s appeal, and the hotel is re-built from scratch every year – so you know your wedding will be truly unique!

 

Known as the ‘Pearl of the Dolomites’, Cortina offers a truly sensational backdrop for your wedding day – in fact, it’s Italy’s most popular winter wedding location! Cortina promises snow during the winter months and is home to a number of churches, so you’ll be spoilt for choice when choosing your venue – and this thriving town has plenty in the way of activities too!

 

Home to Father Christmas, it should be no surprise that Lapland enjoys plenty of snow – but did you know it is home to a hotel made entirely of the white stuff? We recommend the Lainio Snow Hotel (Lapland )for your wedding – this astonishing building is made up of 20 million kilograms of snow and is one of the most wondrous spectacles the world has to offer, making it the perfect place to hold your reception!

 

If you’re planning a winter wedding,  I find out how to save tons of money :-)

Christmas Traditions Around the World

Sweden- The Swedes celebrate the Feast of Santa Lucia at the beginning of the Christmas season. Santa Lucia was a martyred Catholic saint who wore a wreath of candles on her head to light her way as she brought food for the Christians hiding underground. On this day, the eldest daughter of the family dresses in a white gown with a wreath similar to Lucia’s famous one and takes breakfast to her parents in bed.

Ireland- On New Year’s Eve, at the last stroke of midnight, the Irish open their doors to welcome in the New Year. Their hope is that a dark haired man will be the first to open the door, as a dark haired man is considered a good omen.

Spain- Spain, along with people from some other Latin countries, eat twelve grapes at the stroke of midnight to symbolize the twelve months of the year. Eating all the grapes is a symbol of fortune and good luck for the New Year.

Puerto Rico- During the Christmas season Puerto Rico celebrates Asalto. In this tradition, friends show up at your doorstep unannounced singing and playing instruments. They’re invited in to drink dance and— well, be merry. Sounds like my kind of tradition.

Poland- The Polish enjoy Wigilia on Christmas Eve. Wigilia is essentially a dinner celebrated on Christmas Eve where guests enjoy different types of fish and starts when the first star of the night appears. Everyone gets a piece of oplatek, a paper-thin wafer. The oplatek is broken into pieces and offered as wishes to each guest. There is always an empty seat left at the dinner table for Jesus on his birthday celebration.

Trend SS2016 : Size Zero Bag

In diese Handtaschen lässt sich nicht mehr als Smartphone, Kleingeld und der Reisepass quetschen. Das tut ihrer Beliebtheit keinen Abbruch ..

   

Ob Louis Vuitton, Dior, und ... die Luxusunternehmen schwören gerade alle auf Handtaschen in Mini-, Mikro-, Puppengröße. Motto: Ein zierliches Einstiegsmodell ist oft erst der Anfang!

 

  Ob Mulberry, Chloé, Louis Vuitton, Miu Miu oder Dior, die Luxusunternehmen schwören gerade alle auf Handtaschen in Mini-, Mikro-, Puppengröße. Motto: Ein zierliches Einstiegsmodell ist oft erst der Anfang. - derstandard.at/2000026332815/Size-Zero-ueberm-Arm-die-Mikro-Handtasche

Wer sich für eine wie sie entscheidet, muss ihre Eigenheiten zu schätzen wissen. Mikrohandtaschen biedern sich ihren Trägerinnen nicht an, denn sie geben sich keine Mühe, ihre Alltagstauglichkeit zu unterstreichen. Unterkriegen lassen sie sich aber noch lange nicht. Ganz im Gegenteil: 

Sie verlängern den Size-Zero-Trend auf den Laufstegen bis in die Armbeuge. Und verleihen jedem Outfit einen Touch Exzentrik. Längst sind sie deshalb nicht mehr nur als Abendbegleitung gedacht, sondern im Tagesgeschäft angekommen.

Und auch schon im Size-Zero-Bag Fieber ?

Keep eating!
