Juno Lucina ( @pushgift ) Provides Dads a Perfect #Gift to Give #dadchat

July 18, 2012 by dadofdivas 27 Comments

As a father and a husband during the period of time when your children are born, you know that you have the easy part when it comes to childbirth. I know that when my wife and I were about to have our first baby, someone mentioned to me the idea of getting a gift for mom as a reminder of the sacrifice that she was making and the effort that she was extending to bring a new baby into the world. At that point, I had never heard of the idea of a push gift, but I guess what I had been told was just that.

I had never heard of Juno Lucina until recently. The whole idea of this company is to provide amazingly beautiful pieces of jewelry for mothers at a time when (in my humble opinion) they truly deserve it. Each piece of jewelry is painstakingly made and the overall effect is noticeable. I was sent one of the necklaces that they make, and in looking at this, I have to say that first and foremost when I received it I was very impressed with the presentation. The box that the necklace comes in is very ornate. Inside that box, you have a second box that is equally nice. I can see how it would make the mom feel very special.

In looking at the website itself, I was impressed to find that it was very easy to use. For any father who is looking for an easy gift to purchase, the company has made it very user-friendly in regards to selecting and purchasing a nice piece of jewelry. On the website, you have a number of options based on how much you want to spend. On top of this, they even have a custom jewelry section where you can work directly with the company to make something that is even more unique.

I can tell that this piece of jewelry is one that will last a long time due to the quality construction of the piece itself. In speaking with the founder of the company, I was impressed to find that all of the jewelry are made in the United States. I am the person who supports local and national companies over international at times, and seeing this jewelry was made just in the United States was something that made me feel even more willing to purchase.

Some of you may be wondering why the company is named after Juno Lucina, and in doing research, I came to find that Juno Lucina was the Roman goddess of childbirth who was responsible for safeguarding new mothers and children. The design on the jewelry itself was made to symbolize the hands of Juno Lucina, cradling the and the heads of the mother and child.

While I had never heard of the Juno Lucina tradition specifically, I found out that it has been around for over 1,000 years. This was an amazing concept and I was amazed that in asking fathers if they had heard of this before, most had not, or at least most had not heard it called this.

As I have said, the presentation of this gift is important and the company has done an amazing job at this, but the truly amazing part of this is the necklace itself. I received the necklace that you see above and I have to say that this was a simply stunning piece of jewelry that truly stood out. The design is unique and the diamonds are beautifully placed within the necklace itself. As I mentioned, you have the choice of size of necklace that you want, and the one that I received was the initial priced item. Even though this was the case, it was stunning and when I gave it to my wife, her mouth simply dropped and she was speechless. I think this was even better in the fact that we have been married for 14 years, our children are 8 and 4, and the gift was unexpected.

I have to give kudos to the company for all that it is doing to promote the Juno Lucina tradition, as it is one that I have to say is one that all fathers and fathers-to-be should know about and should celebrate. Mothers do an amazing job at bringing our children into the world, and this sacrifice and gift should be treasured and celebrated with a gift that is unique and special as this product is.

    Review & Giveaway – Paypal Shopping Open Options for Mothers Day

    May 6, 2010 by dadofdivas 79 Comments

    I just read about Paypal shopping and I was amazed at the number of vendors that they have on it that allow for safe and secure shopping.

    I know for me, I am always looking for ways to use my paypal as there have been times in the past where I have had issues with a company and paypal completely provides you with security in purchasing and selling…unlike what I have seen on some other sites.

    So if you are still looking for mothers day or other gifts, I would recommend that you check out the site today.

    Giveaway

    How would you like to win a $50 paypal giftcard to try out paypal shopping? All you need to do is go to the Paypal Shopping site and let me know where you would use your giftcard. The contest will run for one week and will end on May 13, 2010.

    Stay safe ordering flowers for Mother’s Day – tips from CyberDefender

    May 6, 2010 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

    Malware authors have mothers, just like the rest of us. It doesn’t stop them from trying to take advantage of Mothers Day shoppers with sinister schemes to outwit the innocent.

     

    According to CyberDefender, a Los Angeles-based security company, Mother’s Day has been increasingly targeted by malware authors due to the growing online use of credit cards and services like PayPal. The idea is to drive shoppers to act impulsively in order to receive a great deal on the perfect gift for mom.

     

    Cyber criminals target shoppers in many different ways:

     
    • Tricking users into giving out personal information
    • Tricking users into downloading malware to their PCs
    • Redirecting users to fraudulent sites through spam

    “Salesy” subject lines should not be trusted – the presence of exclamation points is a dead giveaway as well:

     

    • The perfect gift idea for Mother’s Day!
    • Mom Will Love Getting this E-Card!
    • Give Mom a Personalized Gift! Hurry – before time runs out!
    • Mothers Day Exclusive!

     

    Sites to be avoided, as they have previously been found by CyberDefender to contain scams:

     
    • 2000greetings.com
    • freewebcards.com
    • fun-e-cards-.com
    • fundsilly.com
    • celebwelove.com
    • fukkad.com
    • funnyreign.com
    • eforu.com
    • ecard4all.com
    • myfuncards.com

     

    Tips from CyberDefender:

     
    • Make sure you have a subscription-based security software installed in your computer; in fact, some home users install two different packages to get the advantages of two different vendor offerings
    • Choose a security software vendor that uses a peer to peer network to identify threats and updates its software frequently; legitimate security firms register the PCs of their subscribers and download updates over the Internet to your home PC several times a day. You can find out how many times by calling the vendor’s customer service number.
    • Stick to reputable online flower retailer sites such as hallmark.com, 1-800-flowers.com, americangreeting.com, proflowers.com, etc.
    • Go to a company’s website directly to order your gift, instead of clicking on links found in emails and social networks
    • Have Dad monitor children when shopping online for Mom. Children might not know the difference between a reputable and a fraudulent site
    • If a website asks for your social security number at check-out, the website is probably phishing for your private information, putting you at risk for identity theft
    • Ensure that the website you plan to order from is secured using SSL. When entering any type of credit card or payment information, you should see a “lock” icon on the bottom right of your screen (location varies among browsers)

    Mother’s Day Made Easy: Seven Great Gifts the Mother in Your Life Will Love

    May 6, 2010 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

    Flowers and cards are nice, but if you really want to “wow” this Mother’s Day, it’s time to raise the bar. Image consultant Marla Tomazin takes the mystery out of your Mother’s Day shopping with seven great gift ideas any mom is sure to love.

    Each year, amidst the weather warming and the May flowers blooming, we take time to reflect on the women who have helped to shape our lives since the days we were born. With every diaper change, wiped-away tear, and goodnight kiss, our mothers dedicated their time and attention to taking care of us—so when Mother’s Day rolls around this year, will you know what to give the moms in your life to say “thank you”? Worry no more—image consultant Marla Tomazin is here to help.

    “If you think your wife or mother wants a new vacuum, blender, or washing machine for Mother’s Day, think again,” says Tomazin, who has been an image consultant for 20 years after earlier experience in the fashion industry. “To truly show your appreciation this Mother’s Day, think about a gift that would really put a smile on her face. It is important to do a little research, pay attention, and watch for clues throughout the year. Every woman is an individual, and special attention should be paid when buying the right gift for Mom.”
    If you’re looking to give a great gift this Mother’s Day and you’re still not sure where to start, Tomazin says the following seven gifts will be sure to make any mom feel the love this May:

    Spoil her with a spa day. All moms deserve to be pampered, and a day at the spa is the perfect way for the deserving mother in your life to relax and rejuvenate. Tomazin says that a day at the spa can be tailored to include what she might enjoy the most. This can include a massage, facial, manicure, pedicure, haircut, and blowout. Moms spend their time taking good care of their families, so it’s high time they get the chance to be taken care of too!
    Good things really do come in small packages. No matter what the occasion, you can’t go wrong with the gift of jewelry—and Mother’s Day is no exception. Tomazin says that when chosen properly, jewelry is a lasting gift that will make the women on your list happy all year long. Unsure about a particular mom’s jewelry style? Tomazin suggests going shopping with the mom in question and letting her try on a variety of pieces at different price points. Then take note of all the jewelry she loved and buy those pieces as gifts throughout the year.
    Trade breakfast in bed for a bed and breakfast. Mother’s Day is about showing the mother in your life that you love her, and there’s no better way for husbands in particular to show the love than a weekend getaway. Plan a weekend for the two of you at a bed and breakfast, seaside resort, or destination that you know your wife will love. Tomazin says that this will give you a chance to renew the romance in your relationship and give your wife a chance to rest, relax, and enjoy herself. It’s an unexpected gift for Mother’s Day, and one she’ll be certain to never forget.
    Aim for activity. For moms who love a good workout, going to the gym can be a great way to get out of the house and have some time to themselves. And an hour of yoga and some time in the sauna can be just the rejuvenation a mom needs! If the lady on your list would love a session with a personal trainer, a gym membership, or some new yoga gear, Tomazin says that a gift certificate for any of those may be the perfect solution. This can give moms a chance to try the classes or training that they have been thinking about but have not had time to do.
    Let her shop till she drops. It’s no secret that most women love to shop, but for most moms a shopping spree means a trip to the grocery store or a day spent trying on new soccer cleats—not those cute peep toe pumps she’s been eyeing for months. This Mother’s Day Tomazin suggests giving the mom on your list the chance to do a little shopping for herself. If you know your wife or mother loves a special boutique or department store, consider getting her a gift certificate. And if you know that she has wanted a certain item at one of those stores, go ahead and purchase it for her.
    Paint the town red. Sometimes, the best gifts don’t come in a box or envelope. If you are looking for a special way to celebrate your wife this Mother’s Day, Tomazin suggests planning for a special evening out. Depending on her personal taste, it could be a fancy dinner, going out for dancing, or even a casual dinner and movie, like old times. Arrange for a babysitter and make it a nice surprise for your wife. She will appreciate the opportunity to step out of her mom role for one night, and it will be a great way for the two of you to celebrate together.
    Give her the gift of an image consultant. So often mothers put themselves on the back burner and spend their time taking care of others. A personal stylist or image consultant can help the mom in your life take the time to do the things for herself that she may not otherwise do. Tomazin says that image consultants and personal stylists can help a woman streamline her closet so that she can save time getting dressed, or they can help her determine the best colors and styles for her so that shopping will become much easier and less time-consuming. This will make her life less stressful and allow her to be more present with her family and friends—and she’ll be thrilled by the way she looks and feels, too!
    “The most important part of any gift is the sentiment behind it,” Tomazin concludes. “The best Mother’s Day gift is one that says you’ve paid attention, that you appreciate all your mother or wife does, and that you want to give back to her just a portion of the love and attention she has given to you and your family. Think about who she is and what she loves to do. If your gift takes those things into consideration, you’ll be sure to give her something she’ll love.”

She began with May Company in Denver after earning a B.S. in Marketing from the University of Denver. Marla moved to New York where she worked with several well-known Seventh Avenue design firms.

    The progression to Certified Image Consultant was a natural transition. Marla utilizes her abilities in evaluating body shape, movement, and coloring as well as synthesizing optimal cuts, lines, colors, and textures.
