What an excellent way to engage children and teach them something about science and life at the same time! I think that the butterfly garden on its own is a fantastic gift – if you read the reviews people are just so consistently happy and both the children and adults love the experience of watching this amazing life transformation.

So, this week’s gifts will all be geared toward fitness. Perhaps the inspiration from writing about fitness related gifts will get my own butt in gear!
Fitness related gifts do not have to carry a negative stigma if you are giving it to the right person (someone who is interested in fitness, exercise or sports) and you give …read more
